Buffalo Opponents Review: BCS Edition (updated)

The Good: We've played the tough stretch of our schedule, 5 out of 6 teams remaining are ranked in the bottom quarter of the nation.

The Bad: We're still showing improvement. Ranked basically 10th in the MAC ahead of UMASS, Akron and EMU in most rankings, we only have one auto win, the UMass game, and I think it's closer than the computers do.

The Ugly: We are ranked lower than Stony Brook in 2 out of 3 polls that include FCS schools. We were ranked lower than, Stony Brook & Albany in last weeks Massey Poll, Stony and Albany won while UB got blown out, so we will most likely continue to be the lowest ranked SUNY school this season.
