Thank you very much. And now I feel dumb for not thinking of something as simple as a hair clip

College Football Playoff Rankings prediction: Georgia takes No. 1 from Tennessee, LSU may have a ceiling

College Football Playoff Rankings prediction

Georgia
It turns out that I was a week early with this projection. The Bulldogs won the Game of the Century of the Week over Tennessee and will vault Ohio State into the top position in the rankings. Georgia finishes SEC play with a two-game road trip to Mississippi State and Kentucky, which could bolster the Bulldogs' strength of schedule. Last week: 32


Ohio State
There were high winds and sometimes rain across the Midwest, playing havoc with pass-heavy offenses. The Buckeyes only managed 76 yards passing against Northwestern but scrapped out a 21-7 win. Ohio State is unlikely to be tested before the season finale with Michigan. Last week: 23


Tennessee
Tennessee gave a decent accounting of itself at Georgia but came up short. I would be surprised if the committee docked the Volunteers too much for that. That is especially true since Clemson lost and Michigan played yet another underwhelming opponent. Last week: 14


Michigan
The Wolverines were ranked ahead of TCU last week, and nothing happened that should change the order. If you only saw the score of the Michigan-Rutgers game, 52-17, you would probably be surprised to learn that the Wolverines trailed at halftime (game control!). A little steam has come off of that Illinois game on Nov. 19 after the Illini lost to Michigan State. Last week: 5

I think the committee wants to see TCU earn that spot. But I can’t see how they would get in even after OSU-Mich cannibalize each other. But even with that loss for either, they have a comparable résumé to us. And we run the table rest of the way.. so if they are 5, they may get screwed. Unless OSU loses again and they start to get docked for basically regressing and TCU hands it to Tejas.

I re-tooled it again:
  • Win% is still 1.5x
  • Offensive Scoring Avg is now 0.5x and rewards those far above others
  • Defensive Scoring Avg is now 0.5x and rewards those far above others
A couple things of note from my data:
  • Michigan and Ohio State's Strength of Schedule is POOR. 64th and 93rd in my rankings. They will definitely drop below us once one of them loses in week 13.
  • UT's Strength of Schedule is still elite (more so after playing Georgia).
    • This will likely go down, as we play 4-5 Mizzou, 6-3 South Carolina, and 3-6 Vandy in the next few weeks.
    • If you include their current records into our SOS, it would bump us down to around 23rd as things sit now.
  • If you average where each team is ranked, you can see the following (for secondary metrics/non win-loss):
    • Georgia averages 12th (#1)
    • Tennessee averages 18th (#2)
    • Alabama averages 19th (#3)
    • Utah/LSU 21st (#4)
    • OSU 24th (#7)
  • LSU shows great strength of schedule, but poor scoring metrics, compared to the elite teams.
  • There is a large amount of separation between the top 5 and the rest.

Enjoy all the colors.

Keep tweaking until Tennessee is crowned National Champion. TIA.

JWT is not Jaylen Wright....I understand the confusion because of the J and W, but JWT is the true freshman RB Justin Williams-Thomas.

Newt is messing with you about this faux pas, and nobody else seemed to want to tell you (from what I have seen so far, maybe somebody else told you after the post I replied too...I am catching up) so I am just letting you know.

Yeah I had made a commit about when Wright fumbled last Saturday that they might put him at LB if he doesn't stop fumbling the ball. so when I saw that my mind went to Wright for whatever reason. But thanks for the info friend.

Still waiting on someone to put together a rhyme with "Mizzou" and "the Great Gazoo".

He's the Scrappy Doo of The Flintstones. Annoying and useless.

We ain't got no time for that stupid Scrappy Doo,
We're in a van down by the river, smoking weed with Scobby Doo,
Marvin the Martin about to unleash the illudium Q-38 dimension disintegrator on the Great Gazoo,
Like Heupel about to unleash hell on poor Mizzou,
It don't matter,
