This is some computer generated garbage. I don't care if LSU is slotted in the top 5. I'll wait for the actually preseason poll, which is done by the SID's and not some damn computer.

Oregon
Arkansas
Georgia

Bout right:
Ohio St

The real rankings won't be anywhere close to this, but I'm sure its making the big 12 meltdown which is fun.

My issue is that people at ESPN put #'s into this model, see what it spits out and say "this is our top 10 FPI"

What should be done is see what the result is, and go back to their model to determine if it is working correctly

I just can't see this model being valid

Not bad to have I agree but Allen isn't a world beater.

Eh. He's decent

Literally know none of your receiver's names

How so?

They need to be able to force more turnovers like they did against Ole Miss last year.

Truer words have never been spoken.

I don't think y'all are top 10 but you're right there with us in the 15-20 range.

Looking at the past while keeping your back to the future essentially makes you blind.
