Maryland was me. I don't know exactly how that happened. My best guess is that Maryland had a big win over a "decently average" opponent (read: not a cupcake).

How did it decide FAU was decent? I dunno. Based on non-conference games, it thinks the American conference is the best Group of 6 conference, which is probably helping.

Like last year, I'm sure it these outliers will become less frequent and extreme as it gets more data.
