Why do people talk about them as an all time great team that could take on the 01 Canes?

Who actually cares about FPI? Didn't they beat like 7 top 10 teams and a several conference champions? Obviously one of the greatest seasons.

 

[JD08]

It seems like FPI has a slightly flawed algorithm.

Footballs starting to change so much it’s hard to even compare 01 team to anything contemporary.

People really sit around thinking about this ****?

Yeah might be time to recalibrate these metrics.

Are people just making up **** for new ways to rank teams. My goodness. That said, LSU was very good this year, but our 2001 team would have beat the tiger **** out of them.

Exactly..LSU is the best team of the 2010s no doubt

 

[Go Canes!!]

I don't think it would take a lot, but when the FPI ratings have zero correlation with the end results, you have to question how good of a predictor it is. If you question that, what value does it provide and how relevant is it?

Nobody said that the predicted results are exactly the same as the actual results. S&P and FPI basically predict what would be most likely to happen if we went back in time and played the 2019 season all over again.

Do you really think the 1986 PSU team was better than the 1986 Miami team, for example? By that standard, you’d argue that S&P and FPI should be refined until they rate 1986 PSU ahead of 1986 Miami.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.
