[Across The Field]

ESPN's. I checked this morning.

FPI?

 

[Across The Field]

They have a bad loss and no good wins.

And San Diego State has...?

 

[Yo Tee]

And San Diego State has...?

Best win is over a 4-2 Boise State team and their only loss is to Stanford. Not a terrible resume but not the best either.

 

[ericd7633]

FPI?

Yeah, unless it's changed. It may not have taken the games into account from yesterday when I checked.

 

[ericd7633]

And San Diego State has...?

Well they do have wins over ASU and Boise State, which is alot better than anything Fresno has done. And they didn't lose to Minnesota either.

 

[Judge Fudge]

Just got out of the Royals game.

Nabbing a few groceries.

Post them when i get home

Honestly not really happy with the end result beyond #1. I had to move up teams that deserved to drop based on underwhelming wins because of how many teams lost or were on byes.

1. Alabama (1)
2. Clemson (3)
3. Notre Dame (4)
4. Ohio St. (5)
5. Oklahoma (9)
6. Michigan (13)
7. LSU (15)
8. Georgia (2)
9. Central Florida (12)
10. Washington (7)
11. Penn St. (6)
12. Mississippi St. (16)
13. Wisconsin (8)
14. Stanford (18)
15. Miami (FL) (10)
16. Texas (19)
17. Michigan St. (24)
18. West Virginia (11)
19. Florida (23)

21. North Carolina St. (22)
22. Colorado (14)
23. South Florida (25)
24. Kentucky (NR)
25. Utah St. (NR)

[theSabanator20]

1. Alabama - eye test, convincing win vs. TAMU, games are over by halftime, pretty easy #1
2. Clemson - great win @ TAMU, also clapping teams, had injury vs. solid Syracuse team on the road but survived
3. Notre Dame - home advantage has worked, but still great wins over Michigan, Stanford, survived a pesky Pitt team
4. LSU - best overall SOS thus far, 2nd best looking road loss @ Florida, rekt Georgia and Miami, also survived La Tech
5. Ohio State - great win @ Penn State, survived TCU, offense is great, defense is meh, toughest games are ahead
6. Michigan - best road loss so far @ ND, convincing win vs. Wisky, great defense, offense is meh but getting better
7. Texas - convincing win vs. Oklahoma and vs. USC, loss @ Maryland puzzling, survived Tulsa
8. UCF - best team from the G5, great offense, meh defense, but playing well overall
9. Oklahoma - survived Army, best win vs. Baylor/UCLA, salvaged loss vs. Texas, great offense, defense is just bad
10. Kentucky - best road win @ Florida, 3rd best road loss in OT @ Texas A&M, offense is meh, defense is great
11. Florida - home loss vs. Kentucky, best home win vs. LSU, offense is meh, defense is great
12. NC State - solid wins vs. Boston College and Virginia, undefeated, team is well rounded but not great on either side
13. Oregon - loss in OT vs. Stanford puzzling, great win in OT vs. Washington, offense is great, defense is meh

@4down20 would tell you that you're an idiot for using that, so...

Well they do have wins over ASU and Boise State, which is alot better than anything Fresno has done. And they didn't lose to Minnesota either.

After Stanford's last two games, I'd argue they're no better than Minnesota, especially after watching their effort vs. OSU. Fresno is also 13th in the overall efficiency rankings, while SDSU is down at 67th, so clearly something Fresno is doing is working better.

That's fine. It's obviously different from SOS, but I still find it useful.

Okay, I'm done here.

I don't see Stanford coming into Columbus and having a score closer than 30-14.

He can use whatever he wants. If he wants to know the flaws in it, I'll tell him but he probably already knows because I'm pretty sure he's familiar with my stance on stats.
