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

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

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.

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

Actually it isn't good.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'm not trying to convince you of anything.

To be clear, I did not create FPI

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

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