So I thought Bama returned a lot of contributing players next season?

This says you're 104th in the nation?

It's not based on starters FYI

They have lots of guys that rotate in and out. Lots of experience even if they don't start. Same thing state does. Our best players usually don't start

We just replace them with better players.

Returning starters doesn't matter because so many backups saw playing time. Not just garbage time but real playing time.

We were 100th in 2015 and that went pretty well

In the secondary: Eddie Jackson, Marlon Humphrey, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Ronnie Harrison, and Tony Brown (hopefully).

Up front: Daron Payne, Jonathan Allen, Tim Williams, Rueben Foster, Da'Shawn Hand, Rashaan Evans, and Ryan Anderson.

So some computer geek writing on a blog crated some kind of formula. So?

We don't care about those rankings, we are STACKED! There is so much talent on campus right now, it makes the Broncos envious.

I'd imagine we probably weren't much better off at the beginning of this past season, maybe worse...especially considering we only returned 2 starters on offense (losing 80-90% of our receiving production and 'bout 90% of our passing production) and we didn't rotate near as much on our D-line. We still ended up doin' pretty OK, I think...

I feel reasonably confident we'll finish better than 104th among FBS schools next season...

You're going to need around the clock support after that 104th ranked team of non-contributors leaves Baton Rouge next November.

This truly is setting up to be LSU's year. It will be interesting to see how they end up pissing it away.

People check out lots of statistical prediction methods for college football, none of which really work. But any system that last year produced these whoppers is probably worse than useless:

117 - Washington (43% O, 44% D, 44% OVR)
#116 - Alabama (26% O, 64% D, 45% OVR)
#110 - Florida State (38% O, 60% D, 49% OVR)
#103 - Iowa (43% O, 59% D, 51% OVR)
#102 - Clemson (64% O, 40% D, 52% OR)

...well, maybe by standing the stats on end and using the obverse, less-experience=higher-finish, would work.

Why are stats that are clearly of no use in identifying historical team success worth posting here?

And any stat that shows Alabama last in the SEC and 104th in the nation probably should be disregarded right off the bat... at least in my opinion.

I like that Bama is so dominant that this is the best opposing fans can do during the offseason.
