How does W&J who put up 50 by half-time get passed in the rankings by a team with an open date?

W&J used to play in the PAC, but left the conference after the 1989 season.
I don't know how factual this is, but I know there was some hard feelings at the time of their departure.
The CMU faithful (or at least folks I knew that attended there) claimed it was better for them to move to the UAA overall as an athletic program. We seemed to believe it more as them starting to take their lumps more times than not at that period.
I always felt that may be the case, especially since they played (and continue to play) other PAC teams out of conference (Grove City, Bethany, etc) but not W&J, and was told during my time there that CMU rebuffed attempts to schedule.
Now, how much of that is true, who knows? I do remember it was tougher to schedule teams when I was there outside of the conference, because some teams thought it could jepordize any potential playoff standing or selection at the time.
