1. Alabama (151.58)

10. Florida (96.68)
13. Georgia (94.08)
15. Texas A&M (90.88)
21. Auburn (83.24)
24. South Carolina (80.19)
25. Ole Miss (79.07)
27. Missouri (78.28)
32. Tennessee (74.37)
T37. Mississippi State (70.32)
53. Arkansas (61.67)
65. Vanderbilt (49.85)
92. Kentucky (36.80)


The 46.7 gap between #1 & #7 (top 2 SEC teams) is greater than the 43.21 gap between #7 & #53 (the 2nd and 12th SEC teams). That's crazy.

So you are saying Big 1?

7. LSU

Analysis: By far, the 41 FBS wins are the lowest by anyone in the top ten, and winning 63% of SEC games is a light number for a program ranked this high. Throw in the miserable APR, and it doesn’t make any sense – and then look at the Draft Score, Only Alabama has sent more players to the NFL Draft over the last five years.

This is exactly why Les Miles was let go. You can discuss the metrics of this ranking, and the probability that Ed O might not be any better or worse, but you cannot deny this is indicative of a head coach doing much less with more.

Looks right to me.

Wow, CFN has really seen a downgrade in quality.

quote:

---

average of the attendance divided by 1,000 for the score – average 21,698 fans per game over five years, get a score of 2.17.

---

21,698/1000 =/= 2.17

Bad Losses: Losses to FCS teams or to FBS teams that finished with three losses or fewer. An extra 0.5 taken away from a Bad Loss at home.

---

So a loss to an FBS team with three losses or fewer is bad, but if they have more than three losses, it's not a bad loss?

quote:

---

Bad Wins Score: Wins over FCS teams or to FBS teams that finished with three losses or fewer. Score is -0.25 per Bad Win.

---

Even beating a FBS team with three losses or fewer is bad? And frick this subtracting for bad wins. Regardless of how bad an opponent is, no way is beating them WORSE than taking a bye week.

quote:

---

Elite Loss Score: Losses to teams that finished a season with two losses or fewer. Score is +0.25 per Elite Loss.

---

So, even if you lose 70-0, you get points just for scheduling a good team? That's fricking stupid. I could go with a bump for playing a good team close or something, but just automatically getting points just because you played them is bullshite.

quote:

Attendance Score:
Draft Score:
APR Score:

bullshite stats that don't mean anything relative to performance. If you perform poorly in these and as a result your recruiting suffers and your performance on the field suffers, then that's what should be measured and it will show up there. LSU probably beat Clemson in at least two out of those three categories last year, but they have the fricking trophy and we don't.

Season can not get here quick enough. The next list will factor in height and weight of the HC (Sorry Bama, Ark #1) or average weight of the fanbase (again sorry Bama).
