Iowa @ 16 is crazy to me.

So 3 of the top 6, but the SEC is “down” “over” “toppled” or whatever? Make it make sense.

espnbillc.bsky.social•36 days ago

The SEC benefited for years from the "whoever wins the title is the strongest conference" thing (that, in fairness, they pushed HARD), and now they're getting hoisted on their petards a bit in that regard. But from top to bottom, still very easily the best conference.

I’ve really enjoyed these all season, thank you! A follow up to your SEC statement “… still very easily the best conference”

In a basic sense, how do you arrive to that conclusion?

espnbillc.bsky.social•36 days ago

Because its average rating is way better than anyone else's? B1G had the better top 3 or maybe top 4, but SEC only had one team worse than 52, and B1G had seven.

Appreciate the response and understood, I suppose it's the same thing I've struggled with FBS rankings for years now... perception is anchored by subjective preseason ranking and non-conference games don't seem to move the meter as much. Bowl games seem to muddy things up more than ever as well.

Ahhhh. The ol’ what you said back then bit. Got it. (And fair.)

What metrics push Ole Miss to #2? Apologies for not being super familiar with the innerworkings of SP+, assuming their offense was super efficient?

Posted at the other site (because of how quickly the yelling came).

That’s the issue with these kinda rankings, half the top 10 is SEC, because their only issue was…not actually winning the games they were supposed to.

espnbillc.bsky.social•36 days ago

It is true that sometimes better teams lose to worse teams.

hardwickmd.bsky.social•36 days ago

But the model doesn’t account for the idea that better of the better teams lose to worse teams *less often*

I think Ferris would beat every team up to South Dakota. And I don't even like Ferris. Lol

My main takeaway from this chart is that we need a small school Super Bowl between D3 champs North Central College and NAIA champs Grand View University
