Yesterday, I posted the SEC rankings using CBS NFL Draft projections. HERE

Here are how the SEC looks when including the Non-SEC teams ranked in the Top 30 of the ESPN preseason FPI ranking.

Method

(ESPN rank in parenthesis)

1. Ohio State (1)
2. LSU (3)
3. Alabama (2)
4. USCw (13)
5. Baylor (4)
6. Auburn (18)
7. Tennessee (14)
8. Georgia (9)
9. Stanford (17)
10. Notre Dame (7)
11. Texas A&M (11)
12. Ole Miss (8)**
13. Oklahoma (15)
14. Carolina (40)
15. UCLA (12)
16. Miami (29)
17. Oregon (5)
18. TCU (6)
19. Michigan St (16)
20. Miss State (22)
21. Virginia Tech (25)
22. Florida (27)
23. Texas (26)
24. Florida State (21)**
25. Clemson (19)
NR Michigan (28)
NR Arkansas (10)
NR Oklahoma State (30)
NR Arizona State (20)
NR Kentucky (48)
NR Georgia Tech (23)**
NR Vanderbilt (52)
NR Missouri (24)

** Ole Miss, FSU, and GA Tech did not have a QB ranked by CBS. Used a slightly below average QB compared the everyone else as a filler

Good stuff, thanks man.

It would be interesting to retrospectively go back to last season, do this same thing and then see how it lines up to the final rankings. This is kind of like a "returning starters" stat but does a little bit more of evaluating whether those returning starters are worth a flip.

Most people aren't going to understand this ranking because they won't read anything above or below the 1-25. And in return, shite on it because they lack necessary comprehension

I can't find Avery Young on there who is arguably our best OL at Auburn. Got guys like SHon Coleman though

As a frequest poster of stats and things it always gives me the chuckles when someone says that a certain result was posted "to make XXXX look good".

Yea, went through all that work hoping and praying this would put LSU in the top 5............IT DID HURRY POST IT.

I think it's also missing Jovon, Trey Matthews, and Kozan. But that's neither here nor there

In short, top 4 players were given a score higher than top 8, etc. 2014 Jrs. were considered slightly better than 2014 Sos. who were considered slightly better than 2014 Fr.

For example, as discussed above, I scored Fournette as an equal to Chubb because both are Top 4 RBs for 2018 according to CBS.


Is this a joke?

I give it a golf clap for a solid effort at providing something tangible to talk about, even if it has flaws.

Then again everyone hates my numbers posts so I'm probably the only one.

I'm stunned this wasn't posted by some orange clad hillbilly from Tennessee first.
