Through yesterday's games, here are different rankings involving Tulane and the AAC based on strength of schedule (SOS) and margin of victory.

The AAC is currently ranked 6th not too far behind the ACC, but well above everyone else.

Currently, Tulane's is 7th in the AAC in overall rating (SRS) right behind Cincy and well above everyone else.

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/co ... /2019.html

Nationwide, the Wave is ranked 55th (SRS), 73rd in offense (OSRS), and 47th in defense (DSRS)

Only two teams on the remaining schedule is ranked lower in Tulsa and UCONN.

[greenie78]

The AAC jumped past the ACC on their Simple Rating System (SRS) after a successful OOC week;

Tulane is 5th in the AAC in SRS with the 6th toughest Strength of Schedule (SOS)

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/co ... /2019.html

Nationwide, Tulane has jumped up to 36th in SRS, Offensive SRS (OSRS) is 73rd while Defensive SRS (DSRS) is 23rd. The Auburn game is helping us since these ratings are basically an average of Margin of Victory (MOV) plus Strength of Schedule (SOS) and Auburn is number two in SRS.

SMU is the highest rated G5 team at 10

Cincy is next at 12, most likely due to playing Ohio State who is clearly number one. Tulane is 9th among G5.

Here are the latest College Football Reference Ratings after yesterday's games, based on strength of schedule and margin of victory.

The AAC is firmly entrenched 5th in the conference ratings ahead of the ACC and way ahead of any other conference after winning all three non-conference games. The conference has 3 remaining OOC games with BYU at USF, UMass at UCONN, and Navy at Notre Dame.

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/years/2019.html

Tulane was jumped by Navy somehow in the ratings, probably because Air Force was rated higher than Army going into the week and both teams won by the same margin. Tulane is 6th in the AAC in SRS (Simple Rating System) and 5th in Strength of Schedule (SOS)

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/co ... /2019.html

National ratings (SRS) have Tulane 35th while the defensive ratings (DSRS) fell to 35th, but the offensive ratings (OSRS) jumped up to 37th.

Other tidbits, Cincy is 10th in SRS, SMU 14th, Memphis 18th, UCF 23rd, and Navy 31st.

SMU is number one in the country in offensive rating (OSRS), UCF 13th, Memphis 18th, Houston 26th, Navy 35th, and the Wave 37th.

Cincy is 7th in defensive rating (DSRS), Navy 30th, Tulsa 33rd, Tulane 35th, Memphis 36th, and Temple 41st.

They're still sleeping on Tulane

No way Navy's offense and defense are both better than ours.

Navy beat AFA at home and had to struggle to do it. We beat Army on the road, and had the game well in hand after 3 quarters.

Yeah that’s part of the numbers which is flawed since Tulane allowed those two late scores and Navy scored TD as time expired after a fumble so those points go into the equation. It’s strictly numbers based. Tulane would be higher if not for those two garbage scores by Army. We’re better than Navy and it show in a few weeks.

Thanks for the links and for spelling out what they say. I agree with you and R's take on it.

Yeah it’s not perfect, but it’s been fairly accurate since I started following it the past few years. Truthfully, the Wave would be ranked higher if they could have avoided the careless mistakes against Army and even Houston. Basically, the team has room to improve to reach its high potential which is winning the conference. I’ll take our roster and match it up against any other team in the conference. We go as far as the QB takes us.

Another week has passed, but Tulane is bowl eligible after 9 games. But how good are the Wave? Let's look at the numbers.

Let's start with the AAC. This conference has been really good overall, but how good? Power 6?

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/years/2019.html

Actually, it's P5 for the AAC. Much better this season compared to the ACC. Actually closer to the Pac12 than it is to the AAC. However, due to the stupid setup, no guarantee of making a Big 6 New Year's game.

So how do the Wave stack up in conference and who's really the best in the AAC?

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/co ... /2019.html

Click on SRS (Simple Rating System) which combines strength of schedule (SOS) with margin of victory. Well, the cadets are barely number one right above SMU, Cincy, Memphis, and UCF. Those 5 are clearly ahead of everyone else. Tulane is 6th clearly ahead of Houston and Temple. Click SOS and Tulsa and Cincy have played the toughest schedules while Tulane is 5th,

How do the Wave and the rest of the AAC stack up nationally?

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/ye ... tings.html

The Wave are 40th in the country in SRS right below Mississippi St. The AAC has 5 teams in the top 20 with Navy at 13th, SMU at 15th, Cincy at 16th, Memphis at 18th, and UCF at 19th. Click on OSRS (Offense Simple Rating System) and the Wave is 31st in the country. SMU is number 1 and Memphis is number 5. Click on DSRS (Defense Simple Rating System) and the Wave fall to 59th. Cincy is 12th and Navy is 15th.

There you go. The Wave are 6-3 and are the 6th best team in the AAC and 40th in the country.

[greenie78]

Where does this team stack up on Tulane's all-time list?

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/tulane/

Click on SRS and this club is 33rd on Tulane's list. The 1998 team is 13th. The glory days of the Wave are in the late 1920s and 1930s it appears. Bob Toledo has 3 of the 4 worst teams in Tulane's history. Congratulations Buffet Bob.

USF and Duke, both at 4-8 are right above us?????

Here are the latest College Football Reference Ratings after yesterday's Army-Navy game, based on strength of schedule and margin of victory.

The AAC is firmly entrenched 5th in the conference ratings ahead of the ACC and way ahead of any other conference. Not only was it a P6 conference, it was a P5 conference this season.

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/years/2019.html

Tulane finished 6th in the AAC in Simple Rating System (SRS). The reason the Wave finished higher than Temple is because the strength of schedule (SOS) was much higher. Memphis was the best while UCONN was clearly the worst.

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/co ... /2019.html

National ratings (SRS) have Tulane 46th out of 130 teams right below Virginia Tech and right above Wake Forest. Last season the Wave finished 79th. The Offensive Simple Rating System (OSRS) was 50th compared to last season at 92 so there was a big improvement. The Defensive Simple Rating System (DSRS) was 58th slightly down from 53rd last season.

National ratings have Memphis 15th, Navy 18th, App St 19th, SMU 20th, UCF 23rd, Boise 24th, Cincy 25th, ULL 30th, Temple 49th, and our bowl opponent, USM at 80th.

SMU is number two in the country in offensive rating (OSRS), Memphis 5th, UCF 7th, Navy 15th, App St 16th,

Cincy is 13th in defensive rating (DSRS), ULL 21st, Navy 28th

[greenie78]

Also Tulane finished 49th in national strength of schedule (SOS) compared to last season at 77th

[GreenLantern]

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/ye ... dings.html

Interesting. One could argue that if our schedule has been over 33% more difficult than last year's and yet we finished with an identical W-L record, we made progress.

Absolutely we did .

The coming season is going to be "interesting" with our having no QB with any meaningful FBS playing time .

[RobertM320]

Interesting that our defense stayed roughly the same, when you consider that four of our twelve opponents were in the top 15 in offense.

[DfromCT]

The coming season is going to be "interesting" with our having no QB with any meaningful FBS playing time .

How many games did Keon Howard start at USM???

Probably more than JMc started at LSU.

[mbawavefan12]

The coming season is going to be "interesting" with our having no QB with any meaningful FBS playing time .

How many games did Keon Howard start at USM???

9 games. 2 as a freshman and 7 as a sophomore. Pete needs to be sent to the farm.

Ya'll missing the point . When the '20 season opens it will be two years since he took a meaningful snap . He may have become a phenom . IT WILL BE INTERESTING .
