with predicting the CFP rankings tonight.
How are they accounting for the huge variance in games played? 2-1 Wisc with no winS over quality opponents and an ugly loss to overachieving Northwestern is #11 and above 9-0 #12 BYU. I’d be shocked if that’s the case.
With analytics it’s all GIGO (garbage in = garbage out). While I believe that they probably have a better chance of getting the final rankings closer, it appears that they’re scaling and extrapolating a team’s small body of work as if it’s a full season compared to all other teams, regardless of how many games have been, or will be played.
That’s one heck of an assumption.
We’re eighth in the polls and 6th in the composite computer rankings. I
Just don’t see us as 12th or worse. I’m expecting 7-10th.
