Crunchy Numbers Week 2

Penn State beat Syracuse by 21 points at home and fell three places in the Sagarin rankings, while the Orange scored one touchdown and rose 23 places.

Before we get started, I have a favor to ask.

I know many of the local small-college SIDs read this blog. I am not going to be at the coaches luncheon tomorrow, and while I'm pretty sure I'll be covered for Penn and Villanova, if anyone else does a recording of what's said please let me know. Thanks.

Now for the regularly scheduled programming.
