They should just replace FPI with SP+.





Go look at the final SP+ rankings last year. They were just as bad

Well, they should have beaten Clemson, then, right?

It stands to reason does it not?


Not in the slightest. The transitive property doesn’t apply in football.

A beating B who beat C doesn’t mean A is better than C.

It gets proven every year in the NFL and college games.

Not saying the guy who made the statement isn’t talking out of his arse, but this isn’t an counter argument to it.

LSU beats 6 of the top 10 and 9 of the top 20 but is still 3rd?

I would say their algorithm is off.

Sagarin Ratings

Sagarin has us #1, put barely, in the overall, but 3 in the predictor and 2 in the golden mean.

and we are 5-0 against their top 10, 8-0 against their top 30 and #3 in SOS....

If only LSU had won one more game against Top 20 teams.

What LSU was really missing was a quality loss.
