When you consider all of the injuries, and even the lack of 5-star talent/elite talent on the roster, Marcus Freeman's #4 F+ ranking is pretty damn impressive. He should be up for way more coach of the year hardware this season. It's really difficult to find a coaching staff whose had a bigger positive impact with the same obstacles/challenges that this Notre Dame 2024 coaching staff endured.

The offense is up to #5 in F+ to match their #3 defense. This Notre Dame team has back end top 10 talent, but producing among the tier 1 teams in the top 5, even with all of the injuries to the players on the 2 deep over the 2024 season.

Seems like the voters use f+ as a tool to help with their voting.

Probably not. But high F+ ranking usually correlates to the types of data that voters are looking at in a traditional sense (yards, tds, points, etc.)
