Clemson vs. BYU Resumes

Logo and preseason expectations

Mr. Scoobs

Nov 26, 7:05pm

And Clemson got pounded in both games

BYU '80

Nov 26, 7:06pm

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

Shinshin

Nov 26, 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

Garbage metrics used only when convenient

coug10278

Nov 26, 7:08pm

FPI isn’t a real metric

puntersarepeople

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

puntersarepeople

Nov 26, 7:26pm

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

Kolipoki

Nov 26, 7:11pm

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

TCuz

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

RGGeemer

Nov 26, 7:24pm

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

TCuz

Nov 26, 7:27pm

And FEI - Clemson #14 and BYU #17

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

AF Cougar

Nov 26, 7:07pm

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

BYU '80

Nov 26, 7:11pm

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

A week after Oregon beat Idaho by 10

BYU '80

I love that bama cannot torpedo their season

NYCougz

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

idcougarfan

Nov 26, 7:13pm

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

JAGA97

Nov 26, 7:23pm

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

NYCougz

Nov 26, 7:28pm

In fairness Clemson beat..

NYCougz

Nov 26, 7:27pm

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

Projectoor

Nov 26, 7:29pm

Clemson squeaked by teams that aren’t good.

NYCougz

Nov 26, 7:31pm

True, but Clemson has been much more efficient overall

Projectoor

Nov 26, 7:35pm

The got crushed by the two good teams they played

CaliWG

Nov 26, 7:41pm

Not “much” better

NYCougz

Nov 26, 7:49pm

They haven’t lost to teams that are bad.

RealTaysomHill

Nov 26, 7:39pm

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

NYCougz

Nov 26, 7:48pm

Kansas

Which is a state but not a bad loss as anyone who does more than 5 minutes of

BYU squeaked by three teams all year.

BYU '80

Nov 26, 10:46pm

It's about when you lose

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

Nov 26, 7:58pm

A lot of truth to this

NYCougz

Nov 26, 8:46pm

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

AeroCoug

Nov 26, 8:19pm

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

d10e15

Nov 26, 10:52pm

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

BYU '80

Nov 26, 10:58pm

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