Clemson vs Oklahoma Recruiting


Dec 16, 2015, 12:57 PM

The last 4 years recruiting #'s from Rivals, Clemson averaged 3.42 and 2158 points compared to Oklahoma's 3.37 and 2068 points, but everyone is saying that Oklahoma is favored even though Clemson is undefeated, ranked #1, and has the best quarterback, Is it just because they want the storied programs to be in the National Championship game? Well I say, "Let's write a new story!"

We are writing a new one now, and it seems to be one that the pundits don't much like. I love it, though!

OK is favored on account of the FPI,

a flawed metric at best. The FPI should be adjusted to undo the effect of preseason rankings which have no basis in reality. We are definitely the better team and will win as long as we don't screw it up with turnovers and dumb mistakes.

I love what happens when we're underdogs, though. So there's that.

The definition of awesome!

I can't even try to pretend to understand the FPI rankings when Baylor and Ole Miss are in the top five ahead of Clemson, Stanford, and Michigan State.

It could be worse! Mich State is 11 spots BEHIND Ohio State

The team they beat - who was playing in their own stadium...

Whatever choice(s) you make makes you. Choose wisely.


The FPI was designed to replace the BCS Sagarin formula.

It's about how many points you drop on a cupcake multiplied 100 minus your preseason ranking.

If you consider we didn't punish cupcakes then the formula makes perfect sense.



















































J/K, I've looked for the formula and it's guarded more closely than the formula for the original Coca Cola

Because...blue blood. And lazy reporting.***
