The Committee to the Big 12: keep complaining about getting only one team in,

Shinshin

7:17pm

The Big 12 has five top 25 teams, same as the B1G, yet its conference champion may not get a bye or could be left out

runningryan Pretend Athletic Director

7:16pm

B1G is ridiculously overrate

BYU '80

7:19pm

But it won't be once Utah joins!

Cougar Junkie

7:36pm

I mean, four B1G teams have a combined 0 losses to all other teams

NGB

7:35pm

I wasn’t criticizing the B1G, merely showing the Big 12’s number of ranked teams should have told them something

runningryan

Play people on the road and play some tougher games and that doesn’t hold up.

Clemson vs. BYU Resumes

Logo and preseason expectations

Mr. Scoobs

7:05pm

And Clemson got pounded in both games

BYU '80

7:06pm

Clemson and Alabama are ranked where they are based on brand alone.

Shinshin

7:06pm

Sure, I’ll make it make sense for you. Sagarin: Clemson #17 BYU #28 FPI: Clemson #14 BYU #30 SP+: Clemson #15 BYU #18

TCuz

7:07pm

Garbage metrics used only when convenient

coug10278

7:08pm

FPI isn’t a real metric

puntersarepeople

7:09pm

Ok, add KFord: Clemson #13 BYU #28 and Massey: Clemson #15 BYU #18

TCuz

7:11pm

Two of the metrics you’ve used have a very slight edge to Clemson

puntersarepeople

7:16pm

Resume metrics also matter. I’m not saying they don’t. But every efficiency metric favors Clemson

TCuz

7:19pm

Maybe you just can’t read

puntersarepeople

7:22pm

I can read fine. You only care about the resume metrics and want to exclude all efficiency metrics

TCuz

7:23pm

Edited for clarity

puntersarepeople

7:26pm

Doesn’t FPI still have USC is at like 15 with their 5 losses

Kolipoki

7:11pm

It loves high recruiting rankings which artificially props up bluebloods

puntersarepeople

7:12pm

Well clearly if there is a result or two by the metrics you don’t like you just throw it out completely.

TCuz

7:13pm

Throwing out bad data is something scientists do all the time

puntersarepeople

7:18pm

Make the objective rankings as subjective as possible! Redo it until we agree with the AP Poll!!

TCuz

7:22pm

I don’t think you understand science very well

puntersarepeople

7:25pm

Can you make those rankings make sense? If byu has played a tougher schedule

They are efficiency metrics. It’s like KenPom in basketball. It’s how well you have played in games

RGGeemer

No, that’s not why BYU is low at all. Why is Indiana ranked so highly in most of them then?

That Kansas loss at home along with close wins over OSU and Utah torpedoed us

AF Cougar

Yet close wins over zero mwc win Nevada (3-8) by 6 and 2-9 Wyoming by four

Probably 4 behind Oregon, OSU, and Texas

They chose a heckuva time to spit the bit.

foofcoug

7:00pm

Actually if they beat a ranked ASU on the road I can see them jumping Texas

775coug

7:00pm

They wouldn’t be near Texas with one loss

BYU '80

7:01pm

Imagine being in a place where we're ranked 4 but arguing we should be 2. Sad...

foofcoug

7:03pm

What’s near? Byu was already 3 spots away from Texas

775coug

7:05pm

You didn’t mention the Kansas game. They lost that one

BYU '80

The prompt this entire time has been if byu was undefeated

775coug

7:09pm

Oh you’re saying byu with one loss? No the prompt has been if byu was undefeated
