In response to bisonmania
Ken Pom ranking 271. I am surprised it is not lower!
Pomeroy assigns the same weight to each game, regardless of how recent or how ancient, or it would be worse.
Massey ranks Bucknell #307 since he puts more weight on recent games. Sagarin ranks Bucknell #299 for the same reason.
Either way, it's awful and inexcusable. Last year they ended up #336 (with a high at any point in the season of #298), so I guess the ND apologists (if any still exist) would say he's doing a good job because the team is not as bad as last year.
In the four years that ND has had his own recruits, their best finish in the rankings was #242. Only once since scholarships were introduced had a Bison team done worse than 242nd (DP's first year) before 2020. At the end of the year, ND will have done it four consecutive years.
