Keep in mind, that the guy with the 2nd-largest divergence from the consensus, as well as the 12th-largest divergence...

...are the guys that gave Top 25 votes to F$U...

Rece Davis having Clemson as #1 lol

I'll take it though. If they beat LSU week 1 then they're almost guaranteed to be a top 10 team by the ACCCG (very weak schedule). We need that.

If Clemson and Miami win week 1 then the ACC is going to look strong. SMU needs to grow a pair and schedule better OOC games.

I get your point, but isn’t that metric defined as being five or more away from the mean? FSU shouldn’t be anywhere near this list. And these two guys aren’t wild outliers either.

Those two guys are pretty sizeable outliers. They are near the bottom of the list of 65 voters. One is 64th, the other is 54th, as far as having the ballots that deviated from the consensus the most.

And I agree, nobody should have given a vote to FSU.

I follow an obscene amount of cfb beat reporters on Twitter and I’ve never heard of most of these voters
 
Weekly reminder that Jon Wilner is an idiot.

Also, aside from the whole ending every sentence as a question thing, I don’t think Jordan McPherson does a particularly bad job but it would be nice if half the people covering Miami weren’t UF grads.
