Strength of Schedule

So with that data they have ND 3rd and PSU 9th

🤣🤣🤣

I agree. Any way you want to put it, I agree. We are better than PSU.

3rd to 9th is about what I think the gap is

Thank you again
Again it's a guide. You guys are dumb. How they let idiots like you into the forum is crazy. It stated look at FPI's SOS as a guide to strength of schedule, not the FPI ranking Wow really dumb.

Strength of Schedule

If you did your research, you'd realize that the CFP committee uses data from Sportssource Analytics which isn't available to the public. Like it or not they actually refer to the ESPN FPI as a gauge. Your opinion or mine don't mean sh1t. The SoS links you posted don't mean sh1t either. It's based off of the analytics they get from Sportssource Analytics.



"Although the CFP outsources data from SportSource Analytics, executive director Rich Clark said, that data is not available to the public. As a result, ESPN and its FPI is a way to gauge the caliber each team’s opponents are ahead of Week 13. Here are each College Football Playoff team’s strength of schedule, ranked from weakest to strongest, to this point."
Espn FPI

ND - 3rd

PSU - 9th

Thanks for the clarification

Espn got one right finally

Also, according to you, we don't know that PSU has a higher SOS than ND

Thank you again

CFP Top 25

Against what schedules. PSU had a tougher strength of schedule. You also thought Army and Navy were going to be competitive games. stats are meaningless. Stats don't mean sh1t. what matters is win loss vs your schedule, who you played (SoS), head to head, results over common opponents without incented margin of victory. This is the criteria, show me where the CFP states they include all those stats you posted.
Wrong. Stats do matter. ND, since NIU, has taken care of business on the field in a demonstrative way. They have stomped the teams they are supposed to stomp (much like OSU game plan for last 15 years).

If you are trying to say that Stats don’t matter as much as SOS, then we agree. SOS is a strong component…but news flash…they use stats beyond the W/L records to actually calculate the SOS. So it’s part of the review.

You keep reciting the “criteria” as though the committee will NOW actually restrict themselves ONLY to such. They have demonstrated that is not true. They still talk about “eye test”….and if they had restricted themselves to criteria, then FSU would have been in the championship game last year.

Also, I dont believe for one second that these humans can not compare, to some degree, the common opponent margin of victory. That is a blurry picture for sure.

PSU schedule is ever so slighter better than ND…because of playing OSU…but having watched 7 complete games of theirs, including USC, UCLA, Illinois and Wisky…I agree with you that we are better

That’s good for NOtre dame if they are using FPI as ND is 3rd in that.

Does anyone else ND hater ex PED State QB Todd Blackledge calling ND games?

I don't even notice something like that. He comes off as totally blandly neutral, the way all TV personalities and commentators are trained to, unless you're on CNN or Fox and you're talking politics.

So I'm guessing he's not barely containing some simmering contempt for ND that he can't help but almost betray, and is pretty much in professional TV mode as he has been doing it for like, twenty years.
