I'm not trying to convince you of anything.

Congrats on the algorithm you created, you clearly are very passionate about it.

Just because the numbers are right more often than they are wrong, I guess that's good for you. As the saying goes, numbers/stats don't lie, but they can be very misleading.

FPI does, but ESPN itself thinks we’re #8

FPI is straight drunk.

Umm, this is a joke. How do they figure this? BYU unranked but SMU is at 18

And Kansas State at #18?

Also, Oregon at 8, even they beat #2 THE Ohio State.

2 loss Alabama at 3, just really terrible rankings.

Two of the teams in their top 25 (SMU, KState)with 1 loss and the don’t put the

FPI is so bad.

Whatever algorithms make up FPI needs to be retired

On average, FPI is very good. We seem to break the model.

bythenumbers

Oct 27, 3:49pm

That is good. Teams who can win without blue blood pedigree have to innovate.

RoboKayne

Actually it isn't good.

Ok I disagree

bythenumbers

If it’s still using last season at week 9, it sucks as a model.

Not if last season's results are still predictive

It includes data/takes into account the previous 4 years, prioritizing ast year.

FPI was built by BYU statistics alum Paul Sabin. It’s an algorithm, not a human.

Yeah who knows how many cooks are in the kitchen now. Algo’s can be corrupted.

FPI is a massive joke. I don't know why anyone pays attention to FPI.

Oct 27, 4:45pm

It's factually not that. See my post above. I don't get the hate.

bythenumbers

Oct 27, 5:18pm

It's more than just BYU. There's a number of team rankings that make zero sense.

slatecoug

Oct 27, 6:03pm

Their rankings directly tie to the win probability predictions which are good.

bythenumbers

Oct 27, 6:16pm

USC is #15 in FPI. How is that a good metric?

slatecoug

Pointing out a few places it's wrong doesn't convince me of anything

To be clear, I did not create FPI

bythenumbers

Oct 27, 7:36pm

We are up to 27th on FPI?! Wow, this might be a special season…

Oct 27, 4:54pm

What year is this?

Oct 27, 5:05pm

I guess they hate Pitt too…

Pretorian

Yep, almost all ESPN experts have BYU as CFP 4 seed. Such disrespect.
