But the weighted aspect is retarded.
Keep in mind, that while the 4th best DL and 8th best might only be a fraction of a difference, they would be 8 point difference in his rankings...

Really hard to know in March what September teams will look like. Sometimes its best to look at what was lost from the previous year than what is on the roster now....and then sometimes the roster has surprises that balance out losses from the last year.
I think 2015 is going to be strange looking at schedule. Bama travels to Athens, Ole Miss to Gainesville etc etc. The SEC will not be viewed as a powerhouse as in the past several years and that's ok. Its whats in the final wash cycle.

It just seems so arbitrary with the only intention of making tennessee look better, which we all know is why you did it in the first place. But thanks for the effort I guess.
If you think that was his intention, then you're a fricking moron.

You're an idiot. I shouldn't have to explain why, so I'm not gonna.

This really is the main flaw with the analysis and why it obviously isn't perfect like nothing is.
But it is a set of data to look at and on average predicted each teams final spot by only 1 spot off + or - last year.

Good point on the timing.
ESPN will re-do these rankings this summer after the spring to account for dismissals, injuries, players not getting eligible and maybe some players looking better or worse in spring practice.
Those rankings are what I did my 2014 breakdown on so these may change somewhat by this summer.
I'll be sure to update when the redo them this summer for everyone!

OK so I just threw schedules into the mix.
I added or subtracted 15 ranking points based on home or away on every teams schedule for all three point rankings. Some of these matchups were super close, but if you put these rankings into the teams schedules with home and away factored in here are the results....drum roll please.
SEC East
1- Tennessee (7-1) L @Bama
2- Georgia (6-2) L's @TN and @Aub
3- Missouri (5-3) L's @UGA, TN and @Ark
4- South Carolina (3-5) W's UK, Vandy and UF
5- Florida (3-5) W's @UK, OM and Vandy
6- Vandy (1-7) W over Kentucky
7- Kentucky (0-8)
SEC West
1- LSU - (7-1) L @Bama
2- Auburn - (7-1) L @LSU
3- Alabama - (6-2) L's @Aub and @UGA
4- Ole Miss - (3-5) W's Vandy, A&M and Ark
5- Arkansas - (3-5) W's A&M, Miss St and Missouri
6- Texas A&M - (3-5) W's Miss St, SC, @Vandy
7- Mississippi St - (2-6) W's UK and Ole Miss

I feel like I learned a lot about what the teams have coming back next year by analyzing these rankings.
The schedule part only took about 20 minutes and was actually quite entertaining.
I'm ready for the real thing though!
