2016 Final Ratings





You'll have to do some scrolling.


So to review:

PRI and PRI+ you're familiar with
Recency weights recent results more
OOC measures a team's non-conference schedule
FCS, on the fourth tab, is what a team's score looks like removing a team's worst opponent.

The set of numbers that struck me the most were the full season SOS numbers, which were about 10% worse than the numbers last season, which makes sense for such a middling season that lacked the chaos we've come to expect from the sport.

Again, I am pleased with the four playoff teams.  Auburn sticks out like a sore thumb for the NY6, but the Sugar's hand is forced for that selection.  What's interesting is five years ago the outcry over a team with Western Michigan's resume not being in the BCS would have been deafening;  you didn't hear a peep about that this year.
