13, 16, 18, all lost one score games and fell all the way out. 19 lost a one score game and stayed in. 14 lost a one score game and dropped 3 spots. Wonder what the logic could’ve possibly been that went into that?

All September (and most of October) rankings are garbage.

The impact carries over tough; these early SEC poll stuffers use it later in the year to justify SEC over-ranking.

so does gameday go to Provo for the big game against our irish if BYU is still top ten going into that week

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Missouri gtfoh

Every damn season

Week 4 brackets don’t matter but wouldn’t hate this. Oregon, Georgia, OSU all on the other side.

How is Miami #2 if we're beating them and running the table? 🤔 I didn't think conference champs get an automatic BYE anymore?

It's only one game, but if IU is what we saw Friday night, then OSU will roll them.

TAKE IT FOR WHATS IT WORTH BUT TOP TOP RIGHT IS VERY GOOD

 

[PolishDomer]

To be clear, I like them.


I just can't comprehend.
Right or wrong, I look at them all and figure the closer to the top right, the better.

As an Economics degree holder, I would like to know the R2 value of the data...

Cal can fuck themselves.

They were pimped far, far too hard this off-season.

#2 in FEI. It’s Georgia and ND and then the field currently

Wisconsin is 11th on defense

UNC is 71, one ahead of Purdue

I like all this stuff Dale. (Whether some ______s blow your interesting graphs and questions off or not.) Army seems Old School Army BUT riding a 569 yard rushing game vs Bryant. They're probably "good" but not THAT good. I don't understand how you could have a big team (Cal) which is apparently almost completely incompetent on offense. I know that fans are calling for firings on the offensive side.

I'm still hoping that Wisconsin will ultimately "make us proud" in the end. And, I believe that we ruined MSUs season by injuries. B1G commentators seem to have given up on their season due to that.

That's gold Jerry, gold.

Just watched it. Really complimentary of us overall. Sees the same stuff we all see: running backs are not getting enough out of what they are given. CJ has great knowledge and ability, made a mistake on the interception. Defense is a bunch of freakazoids. Love watching Brooks, he always teaches me something, especially with the OL and DL schemes.

That second play the post to Greathouse that Carr under throws a bit. Would love to see that with Graham instead, someone who can truly run away and maybe Carr can just throw it to open grass more

 

[Dale]

8/10 of the pass plays he highlights we motioned or used PA. Williams TD run also had motion, and is either a RPO or a pass Carr checked out of.

One thing I noticed related to a lack of TE or slot targets is there are drags or shallow routes in general out there open. CJ is hitting the posts, crossers instead. So until CJ starts missing those, yeah fair I guess lol, don’t throw a 3 yard drag to Flanagan 🤷‍♂️

Didn’t know ND had a Bang Bus.

Holy ball knower. I encourage everyone to watch this. How he talks about KVA is so fun.

 

[ulukinatme]

I like how a lot of these graphs have ND like...by themselves in the top right hand corner. Now, I don't pretend to be a rocket surgeon, but I think that means we're pretty good.

 

[Old Man Mike]

I've heard that is because we're independent.

Even with what we saw from each, this guys metrics has Wisconsin as the most improved offense, Purdue #3 and MSU #9 most improved defense. The good news are none of them are in the basement, except maybe MSU now due to injuries. I do still fear Purdue will have a 2025 Arkansas type season where we will be counting how many close losses they have. BC offense showing out much worse but defense the #1 improver. Stanford and Purdue defenses have gotten top 10 worse.

USC has played 1 real game and yet grades as the biggest defensive drop. Fight on!
