3. Georgia- 84%
4. Texas A&M- 82%
5. Oregon- 78%
6. Texas- 78%
7. LSU- 73%
8. Notre Dame- 73%
9. Oklahoma- 70%
10. Penn State- 68%

14. Michigan- 57%
15. USC- 57%

If it does matter, then LSU "should" beat Clemson.

I agree it doesn't matter. If it did LSU wouldn't have lost 4 games last season.

There’s no way A&M has more talent than us. You also have to factor in who has terrible head coaches, like Bama

On a game by game basis, no
There is evidence that it matters for winning it all, tho

Lol I'm sorry but hasn't bamas coach only lost 11 games as a head coach? Be realistic

The ratio for LSU last year is skewed because their skill players WR,RB,etc. ranked high but where was the Depth on the DL and DB experience wise ,it wasn’t there.If you don’t have a very good DL and secondary you lose games.This is the 1st year the tigers have legitimate players and depth.

It's not determinative, but it matters.
There are other factors that are more predictive, but Blue Chip Ratio matters.

It doesn't matter when comparing 2 teams with BCR's above 50%... it is a massive tell for teams who can't win a title though. Since that metric started being recorded, there's not a single national champion who had a BCR of less than 50%
Most recently, Washington and TCU were below 50% when they went to the Championship and we saw how those worked out. When it comes to playing your last game for all that marbles you need a star studded roster and 4 stars who can fill in for injuries or fatigue.
I will say this though... We have a better BCR currently than these teams did when they won a title: Michigan (23), LSU (2019), Clemson (2018), Clemson (2016), Ohio State (2014), Florida State (2013), Bama (2012), Bama (2011)

He’s only been a P5 coach for 3 years…

Yes it matters over the course of a season, but it’s not determinative in a 1 game scenario.
