Alabama: -4
Ole Miss: +9
So where's the value in this type of analysis?
If a team isn't predicted to do anything for 5 years, and doesn't - except for one year where they finish top-5, they get a +20 ranking. Who cares? All it says is the pollsters got it wrong one year.
After all, how many times have I read on this board that they ought to 'do away with' pre-season polls because of how worthless they are?

Hard to value it for teams that are consistently ranked in the Top 5 like Alabama, much like the "recruiting ranking vs final ranking" stat that people love using. There is literally no way for someone like Alabama to be any better than a 1 to 1, so there is no way for them to "win" that sort of argument.

The gross sum is meaningless. The five year results give a snapshot of who tends to be overrated, underrated.
UGA fans are probably happy he limited it to the SECW
