(@ South Carolina + @ Missouri + vs Tennessee + vs Vanderbilt + @ Louisiana State )

#10 LSU is #41
(vs Miami + @ Auburn + vs Ole Miss + @ Florida + vs Georgia)

#11 Florida is #49
(vs Kentucky + @ Tennessee + @ MississippiState + vs Louisiana State + @ Vanderbilt)

I assume you are talking about Rutgers, and they have their REMAINING SOS at #1.

Rutgers FPI

vs #5 Penn State
vs #6 Michigan
@ #16 Wisconsin
@ #19 Michigan State
#45 Northwestern

You're bright enough to know what the word remaining means...

I still think Northwestern wins the B10 west.
If that matters, but I'd really like to see them do it.

I like that program and their coach.

And then hopefully pull off an upset in the b10 title game.

May be legit but 2 losses already and an OT win @ home vs Appalachian State

quote:

vs #6 Michigan


Close lose to overrated Notre Dame and win over over rated Wisconsin

quote:

@ #16 Wisconsin


Loss to BYU (4-3) at home and Michigan coupled with a lame schedule

quote:

@ #19 Michigan State


Lost to Arizona State (3-3) and Northwestern (3-3)

quote:

#45 Northwestern


Lost to Akron and struggled with Nebraska (0-6) :big casty:




Seems the B1G is way over rated this season and hopefully gets fully exposed in the bowl season.

Yeah, I read that after posting

Why use remaining (which is highly subjective) instead of using games actually played?

Especially as CCG's are not determined at this point and should give an strong boost to SoS's?

Na you didn't hear?
The ACC has this shadow government that has been selling children on the black market for years.

They've been doing it by using illegal pick plays in football games and rushing the field after every win.

Damn. That's a beast, especially when they've already played tOSU.

That said, the Big 10 is overrated.

B10


Most over rated as outside of Ohio State has not put a contender up for recent Natty's.

Nebraska is just sad at this point.

Easily the best to put out of its misery

ACC


While putting down the Taters and Free Shoes is tempting, pretty ambivalent about the bulk of the conference.



B1G = Killshot

Because this is just a metric built into their FPI system, which only serves to project the remaining/final record.

It's just not laid out well, or giving all the information in one place that we'd like.

Hell they could pop a cap in somebody arse, then turn states evidence, and never see a day in jail.

This current basketball scandal had a similar history.
