Wild to me that a team that lost to a mid tier MAC team can be so high on this list. Also a 9-4 Alabama, who lost to a barely bowl eligible Michigan, can be so high. College football is a joke.
Has ESPN’s FPI put in an algorithmic “glass ceiling” for Big12 teams? 🤔
Even factoring in the Big12’s strong bowl season, not a single one has made the FPI top 20, while the ACC (who had an abysmal post-season) still has FOUR teams in their top 15, including unranked 9-4 Louisville all the way up at #12 🤣
FPI has TEN SEC teams above the Big12’s top team, #21 ASU 🤷♂️, this is despite the Devils taking the former FPI #1 Texas to OT (& dominating them on the stat sheet)
How did FPI deal with that CFP result? Texas dropped 1 spot to #2 & ASU went up one whole
spot to #21
7-6 USC is #18, higher than any Big12 school…🤦♂️
BYU finished 11-2 and got stiff-armed by the CFP committee & media talking heads by not even being “in the conversation” for the last at-large spot. BYU was #32 in FPI before blowing out the Buffs and FINALLY breaking into the top 25, at #25 🤷♂️
Biased systems like ESPN’s FPI help give “cover” to the CFP committee to downgrade Big12 teams like BYU & have to be eliminated or fixed… with the new algorithms being made completely transparent
FPI can no longer be taken seriously, yet it is currently the framework from which ESPN &
the CFP committee derive their Strength of Schedule and Strength of Record rankings that they quote in their CFP selections shows
