Overall Rank FEI/SP+:
IU 1/2
OSU 2/1
Oregon 3/3
TX Tech 5/3
UGA 6/5
Miami 8/9
OM 12/6
Bama 10/15
Miami v Ohio State
6 v 1, OSU (-9.5), SP+ 29-19 OSU
OM v UGA
7 v 5, UGA (-6.5), SP+ 27-27 tie
TX Tech v Oregon
3 v 4, Oregon (-2.5), SP+ Tech 28-26
Bama v IU
8 v 1, IU (-6.5), SP+ IU 31-18
Takeaways
-Some interesting lines relative to the computers with three games almost a touchdown above their predicted line (Oregon 4.5, Bama 7 and UGA 6.5)
-Very odd for three games at this point in the season to be that unaligned at this point in the year
-Bama might be explained by injuries and OM due to the coaching change but don’t understand the Oregon line

Ole miss and UGA will be interesting. I'm curious how much the loss of lane and the improvement by the UGA defense will effect this one.

The data that means most to me is the talent rankings.
No team has won a national title since recruiting rankings have existed without at least 50% of their roster being blue-chip players (4 or 5 stars)
OSU - 79%
Bama - 78%
UGA - 75%
Oregon - 67%
Miami - 55%
Ole Miss - 48% (very close... perhaps good enough)
TT - 26%
Indiana - 10%
While these won't predict a single game (as Indiana beating OSU showed)... I think the data is very relevant in terms of looking at who can win 3-4 games in a row to win the playoff.
It's very possible that the top 4 teams listed will be in the final 4 after the next couple of days.

I would say that's a depth thing would you? Most teams have backups a smidge worse than the starters that recruit at a high level. I'd say teams like Indiana and TT are a few Injuries away from disaster..maybe that's why
