NCAA Rankings week 8 - Page 2 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Power - what we all know, been around forever, predicts game outcomes roughly as well as Vegas, generates lines that track well with Vegas etc. etc.

Achievement - my best attempt to quantify a team's resume. Still a work in progress but for the most part I like it.

San Diego St maybe?

Or one of the undefeated Florida teams? I could see UCF having a very high achievement because they've basically blown the doors off everybody.

Do you guys think Miami will beat Clemson by 50 points in the ACC championship game, or just 40?

Since they are in the same division, don't they eventually play the same schedules as far as B1G games go? I would think everything rotates so it evens out over the long term.
Last year, Wisconsin had to play UM and OSU for example.

Just ran some numbers. Miami currently leads all FBS schools in the following categories: Grit, hustle, PERSEVERANCE, GETTING THE JOB DONE/possession, and Sagarin-adjusted DOING WHAT IT TAKES

I dunno why I chose your rankings to do this with, maybe because I couldn't abide 1. Notre Dame. But here's how my model would rate each or your 2-10's chances to win against the Irish.

2. Pedos - 60%
3. Alabama - 75%
4. Georgia - 54%
5. TCU - 59%
6. Ohio State - 64%
7. Clempson - 55%
8. Virginia Tech - 47%
9. UCF - 21%
10. Wisconsin - 44%

My model says Notre Dame is 100% to win every game the rest of the season, shut out Alabama and Clemson in the lolCFP and they skip a trip to the White House for a direct audience with @pontifex.
