A week after Oregon beat Idaho by 10
Also where is the byu credit for the smu win? Even when they had the same record last week smu was ranked higher

Clemson vs. BYU Resumes

Logo and preseason expectations

And Clemson got pounded in both games

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

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

Garbage metrics used only when convenient
coug10278

FPI isn’t a real metric

Nov 26, 7:09pm
Ok, add KFord: Clemson #13 BYU #28 and Massey: Clemson #15 BYU #18
TCuz
Nov 26, 7:11pm
Two of the metrics you’ve used have a very slight edge to Clemson
puntersarepeople
Nov 26, 7:16pm
Resume metrics also matter. I’m not saying they don’t. But every efficiency metric favors Clemson
TCuz
Nov 26, 7:19pm
Maybe you just can’t read
puntersarepeople
Nov 26, 7:22pm
I can read fine. You only care about the resume metrics and want to exclude all efficiency metrics
TCuz
Nov 26, 7:23pm
Edited for clarity

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

It loves high recruiting rankings which artificially props up bluebloods
puntersarepeople
Nov 26, 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
Nov 26, 7:13pm
Throwing out bad data is something scientists do all the time
puntersarepeople
Nov 26, 7:18pm
Make the objective rankings as subjective as possible! Redo it until we agree with the AP Poll!!
TCuz
Nov 26, 7:22pm
I don’t think you understand science very well
puntersarepeople
Nov 26, 7:25pm
Can you make those rankings make sense? If byu has played a tougher schedule
bulletproof
Nov 26, 7:14pm
They are efficiency metrics. It’s like KenPom in basketball. It’s how well you have played in games

The problem with computer rankings in college football is they use data from
RGGeemer

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

And FEI - Clemson #14 and BYU #17

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

Losses to top 10 teams (like Georgia and Oregon) don't hurt a team
krindorr
Nov 26, 7:19pm
But apparently a 5 pt loss on the road to the #21 team drops you 5 spots

I love that bama cannot torpedo their season

The last 4 games, BYU won by two miracles against the two worst teams in the

I can't be critical of it because I am not confident BYU can beat any of the

I dont think Clemson could beat a top 20 team as they haven’t.

In fairness Clemson beat..

BYU has squeaked by all year, analytics don't like them

Clemson squeaked by teams that aren’t good.
NYCougz
Nov 26, 7:31pm
True, but Clemson has been much more efficient overall

The got crushed by the two good teams they played
CaliWG

Not “much” better
NYCougz
Nov 26, 7:49pm
They haven’t lost to teams that are bad.

Neither have we. And we have a win that is way better than anything they have.

A lot of truth to this

I’m a big Clemson fan and there is no justification for them to be ranked

And you forgot to add SMU’s ranking in there. Aren’t they like #9 now?
andrewg3

All rankings were what they were at the time - see UGA AT #1

Smu is perhaps the most impressive non con win by any team

It’s not about who you beat, it’s about who the committee THINKS you would beat
