ESPN's FPI rankings. This is why they have to just stop. Just stop.

LSU finishes 3rd. Yep. 3rd.

Final ESPN FPI rankings.

LSU is 3rd, sure, and that was handing out fake cash last night.

If FNPI is still using recruiting rankings then it is worthless in January when discussing the recently completed season.

What? Can someone explain to me what the hell I'm looking at?

ESPN is so fucking stupid.

Don't try to figure out ESPN's logic. You'll likely hurt your brain. Remember, never argue with an idiot (ESPN), they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Reminds me of the same type of process that gave Michigan a 'national championship'. Bunch of dip shits voted and gave them the trophy. Congrats.

Shit like this is why people don't take analytics seriously (enough). "Stupid made up stat says LSU wasn't the best, so I can safely ignore BABIP or True Shooting % or [insert useful advanced stat X here]."

I could do a better job than whoever threw together that awful list and I've only watched a handful of MSU games and a few bowl games all season long.

It’s been ever thus. When I was single, I’d go to bars as a mid-grade 3 star, then consistently perform above my grade and skill set, bringing home high 4- and (occasionally) 5-star talent. Did it ever get me into the top 10? Top 20? No.

Fuck stars.

Dude, when you walk into a bar of hags and three of them have more than five teeth and weigh less than 180 doesn’t mean they’re 4&5 stars. It just means they’re 4&5 stars for that bar you’re in.

Well sure, now...

So after the SuperBowl is ESPN going to publish a list that declares the Ravens the best team in football? This is just chaos and undermines our institutions.

If by chaos you mean stupid, then sure.
