Winning vs. winning big.
Kentucky is 6th in The Precedent Ratings but 64th in scoring margin, at +1.6 points a game. Its last two wins were both 35-34 in overtime.
New Mexico goes the other way: 5th in scoring margin at +25.2 a game, but 68th in the ratings because of who it has played.

Indiana is 6-0, and its rank in The Precedent Ratings has gone up and down all season.
It was tied for 1st after Week 2, then fell to 78th after a 38-0 win over Western Kentucky because its opponents kept losing.
Winning at Nebraska, unbeaten against FBS teams until Saturday, moved Indiana to 5th.

The AP and The Precedent Ratings disagree most on these 10 teams.

The AP ranks 8 of the 10 higher. Boise State (4th vs. 23rd) and Wisconsin (11th, unranked in the AP) go the other way.

The night before the Rams' vote to leave St. Louis, staff reportedly drafted a farewell letter to the city. Internally they called it the AMF letter.
It stood for "Adios, motherf-ers."

Cleveland got its team back in 3 seasons. Baltimore waited 12 years. St. Louis took a $790M settlement and is still waiting. Montreal got nothing.
Why did four cities get such different results?
Tomorrow in The Precedent.
