Since everyone wants to jump on ESPN FPI rankings, let’s check out how well ESPN’s FPI did last year!
No 1 Texas missed the Playoffs
No. 5 Penn State went 7-6
No. 11 Clemson finished unranked
No. 12 LSU finished 7-6
No. 14 Auburn missed a bowl game
No. 15 South Carolina finished 4-8
No. 18 Florida finished 4-8
No. 21 KSU missed bowl
No. 22 Arkansas went 2-10
No. 25 Nebraska went 7-6
No Texas Tech, BYU, Utah, Houston, or TCU who all finished ranked.
No Indiana who beat everyone and won the Natty
No G6 teams (4 finished ranked)
They had 13 SEC schools ranked, and somehow missed Vanderbilt
I don’t think you could create a worse poll if you tried.
@ClayTravis Yes. Texas is the best. In a class of their own. Easily the most talented team in football. Will win the SEC, which is easily the best conference and therefore the natty. No doubt they should be ranked #1
Texas A&M was a top 3 team all year long… and they have 0 points through 3 quarters at home against the 3rd place ACC team.
If the SEC gets more than 3 teams again, we actually have to sue someone. I don’t care if it’s just a random SEC fan.
Texas A&M went 7-1 in the SEC and was a tiebreaker away from making the SEC Championship Game and scored 3 total points at home against a "lowly" ACC team, so I think we need to retire the "SEC teams would go undefeated in every other conference" narrative forever
Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez should be the Heisman Front Runner on every list this week.
From Walk On sleeping on his brother’s apartment floor to Heisman Trophy candidate.
What a story.
Texas Tech tells faculty to revise instruction, recognize only 2 sexes in classrooms.
This is the model.
It's also the law.
I signed a law that there are only 2 sexes in Texas.
