Miami Ranked #27

...after 2 games

 

[skillydoo]

Just win.

 

[Fart Keyhole]

Advanced metrics are only as good as their input data. Week 2 is far too early for me to put stock in a power index, regardless of how well-tuned it is under the hood.

 

[Gables Canes]

While I agree our defense is far from elite yet, lol at some of these rankings. Bama #3? GTFOH

 

[TheATLCane]

Notre Dame 21st ranked defense
Miami 62nd

Nah

 

[Cane30]

Not that I would pay attention to this, our backups have to get their act together at a
lot of spots. Their is a lot of improvement to be had over the next several weeks. If it was the drop-off of a FSU, I would be really upset.

 

[Cajuncane]

lol at bama at number 2

Well they were efficient in getting their butts whooped and then running a glorified HS team into the turf…so yea based on that number 2 sounds about right…

I’ll go with the eye test and comparing how we’ve looked so far compared to other teams.

Top 5 team to me. **** these dumb *** metrics

Analytics have value, but college football is about conventional wisdom. Alabama dominated for two decades of the “modern” era with a classic formula.

Veteran, smart QB. Elite offensive line. Power running game. Dudes on DL. Long, man-coverage corners who tackle. Win the turnover battle.

That’s our identity through two games and it is more proven than goofy algorithms.

people like Manny Diaz love analytics. football guys like saban, Kirby, Mario, probably Lanning, dont care as much.

If I said what I felt you would ban me.

lol at bama at number 2

They’re just making up measurements to make the SEC look good at this point

Always have been.

Even if it were possible that all these teams played each other, home and away, there would still be a good amount of unpredictability in these "predictive" analytics.
But after 2 weeks with 3 common opponents of the 50+ games played??

C'mon man.

 

[Empirical Cane]

The only rankings that matter to me are win/loss column followed by point differential. Fight me

This metric, as ESPN's FPI, matter to CFPO Selection Committee.

 

[TaylorWalls]

Of course it's biased, because someone has to determine the inputs. No computer model is "unbiased".

 

[edge]

A team we beat is head of us? Come on man

 

[IndayArtHauz]

What are our thoughts on the ranking of the offense? Number 4, do we feel that is fair?

 

[kyle_schick]

Pseudointellectual snake oil.

This doesn't mean anything.

ESPN Power Index is an embarrassment and should be removed. Basing the index on preseason assumptions that everyone knows are historically wrong most of the time tells you all you need to know about the validity of the rankings.
