Is CB still upset over the transfer of Crew Wakley? Didn't look like we missed him at all in the bowl game...

Adrielle Board Misanthrope

No. But some are still sad about Crew Wakley.

Who? Not all, Damuni is the future and played well the last few games

pegushin

Adrielle

He does need to improve open-field tackling.

Indy Coug

Sounds like you prefer resume metrics, such as SOR, SP+ resume, or K Ford Most Deserving

TCuz

2:10pm

Losses just need to be weighted heavily against a team. A 4 loss Bama team is not a top 10 team (top 5 in some of those)

Crazy Joe Davola

2:15pm

The purpose of FPI is as a predictive tool. Maybe that’s the disconnect

There should be a difference, then, between ranking a team and predicting
