Math is hard. ESPN’s preseason FPI ranks the units of a football team based on “expected points added” by that unit. I figure that could reasonably be compared to the actual scoring rank of those units at the end of the season to see how accurate the preseason FPI rankings were. Those comparisons for SEC teams for both the 2017 and 2018 seasons are below, sorted by the net variance. It sort of looks like we need to come up with a new system. jmo.

Still trying to get the BVS out. That’s another reason Muschamp is so frightened. He knows that Pruitt is building a juggernaut here.

The main interstate in Alabama I-65 is under construction for all you beach goers. Nice 9 hour drive yesterday. Luckily I came prepared. Casa Nobles Anejo and a couple of Dos Equis's and I was right as rain.

I'm pretty sure 65 in Alabama has been under construction for at least 20 years. It's gotta be their main source of revenue.

That stretch between Birmingham and Montgomery is brutal.

We went through an atheist marriage conference entitled “Finding meaning together in a meaningless cosmos.”

Had side sessions on “Relating to your spouse while knowing their consciousness is just an illusion caused by lots of synapses firing at once” and “Remember, your children are fundamentally just clumps of biological material.”

lmfao sounds just slightly better than a solipsist conference.

Yeah, I've always thought FPI is far too static. Things would get exponentially more complicated if they chose to dive deeper, so I don't blame them for holding steady. My .02 is just take FPI with a grain of salt.

If you want a real system for determing predictive outcomes...look at the systems the best sports gambling syndicates use. The guys that can beat Vegas regularly. FPI would probably get waxed by Vegas.

Watching Yankees and Red Sox from London...

That awkward moment when they have children sing our national anthem which describes us kicking their ass.

Good thing nobody popularized a new one after the civil war. Now that would be awkward.

Wouldn’t say I’m a huge baseball fan but still.. never knew pitching speed was measured out of the pitchers hand until today

A 100mph fastball is actually crossing the plate at about 85ish

Doug Matthews said this morning that coach told him that last year we had 6 300 pound players who had the strength to match that weight. This year he said we have 23 of those guys

It’ll be confusing to watch our linemen not being rag-dolled like they have for years.

And refreshing.

Does anyone know when the next 247 rankings update will be if there is another for 2020?

Last year I was told at this time they come out in Feb. Then again I noticed the higher ranking qbs moved one way or another before hand. So I guess it all depends on who you are.
