Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 2316100, member: 2585"] I think I might try to do this for every opponent. It makes sense to wait until about 4 games in where there is enough real data to see trends. I like [URL='https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/9/24/16357660/ncaa-football-rankings-2017-130-teams']Bill C’s S&P+ work over at SB Nation[/URL], so I’ll pull some from that and mix it with some other points that make sense (I hope). [I]One note about the S&P+: Bill does a great preseason ranking where he goes through and factors in the previous season, players lost, etc.[/I] [I]As the season goes on this preseason ranking gets replaced with real game data.
