What the hell is Tulane doing at 78?

After looking over the factors in this computer ranking I have determined this complete garbage

"The model comprises four major components: the last four seasons of performance on offense, defense and special teams, with the most recent season counting most; information on offensive and defensive returning starters, with special consideration given to a team returning its starting quarterback or gaining a transfer quarterback with experience; a four-year average recruiting ranking of four systems (ESPN, Scouts, Rivals and Phil Steele); and head coaching tenure. These four components interact and are assigned different weights depending on the team to produce preseason FPI."
"With a quarter of a tank of gas, we can get everything we need right here in DFW." -SMU Head Coach Chad Morris

When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.

I agree. I only posted it cuz it was nice to see us not ranked in the 100s for a change.

After their big DT graduated, I can't even think of a single position where we should be ranked behind Tulane. That's crazy.

if you were going to put someone in an unexpectedly high spot it would be Navy. Cause - we they are Navy.

Not a ton of thought went into this one...
