2017 CFB Rankings Countdown

[coit]

Somebody want to do an R^2 analysis on OS rankings compared to final CFP/AP/Coaches' ranking?

Here's the post:

LOL they put us at #78

Good news is that we'll have at least one media chip on our shoulder?

It is even funnier when you read the article and they predicted them to be similar to last year. I guess 77 other teams are going to have 9+ win seasons

Marshall was definitely a key loss, though unnamed here.

I like how the guy didn't seem to know that our question mark QB beat VT in an emergency start.

Great stuff, thanks for posting!

Don't reckon you'll do the same thing for the OS rankings analysis also?

In the video, the guy says "Jordan Thomas" is gone now. This has to be a shoutout to StingTalk!

What do you mean, exactly?

Never mind, I missed that you had the OS ranking on the left!

Welp, if you subscribe to the scalar transitive ranking theory, Orlando Sentinel has picked us to win 4 games this season (3-5 in the Coastal) and contend for our division. It's going to be a wild ass Coastal ride!

LOL, you can say that again. Every costal game is going to be BIG!

76 Syracuse
72 Army

Lol

76 Syracuse

One day we hope to be as good as Army. Maybe we should look into running their offense?

 

[jacket67]

65 Wake Forest
66 Cal
67 Tulsa
68 Troy
69 Miami (OH)
70 Boston College
71 Texas Tech

Thanks, this list just keeps getting funnier.

Maybe higher numbers are better this year?

Are we really ranked below those teams or was that a different list? I am confused. Do they really think we are #78?

No way. This list was clearly "here's a top 25, here's a bottom 10" and then they literally rolled dice and wrote 2 hour summaries for the rest of the teams.

Well, we lost Jordan Thomas, so.........

Ranking P5 and G5 teams together is generally pointless. Here are 2 other rankings

https://athlonsports.com/college-football/ranking-all-130-college-football-teams-2017
http://collegefootballnews.com/2017/college-football-preseason-rankings-preview-2017

These 2 have 59 and 61 P5 teams in the top 70 and the top 50 being nearly exclusively P5. I think that reflects the reality that only a few G5 teams could compete in a P5 conference.

BTW, these 2 rankings have us at 36 and 38.

I would use these for this kind of thread, but they don't do a countdown. As far as I can tell, Orlando Sentinel has been the only name in the countdown game for the past two seasons or so.

The count down is definitely more entertaining, especially when it is wildly unpredictable.
