#136 Sacramento State
0-5 in Mid-American play, T-12th in the Mid-American
2026 season recap (through week 8)
Sacramento State (Mid-American) is ranked 136th in The Davis Rankings after week 8 of 2026, with a record of 1-7 and a score of 12.4 out of 100. That is down 1 from week 7. That puts it in the Oh Crap tier (ranks 126 and below). Its strongest factor is opponent record at game time (33.5 out of 100). Its weakest is recent results (0.0 out of 100).
The wins so far have come against FCS opponents, which count for little in the formula, so the record is still waiting on a result against a fellow FBS team. The toughest result to explain is the week 6 loss, 38-10 to #137 Bowling Green on the road.
Sacramento State has lost its last 6 games in a row. On the road it is 0-4. The average margin is -17.6 points per game, with a biggest win of 52 points.
