That item alone invalidates the entire rankings.

The ultimate goal of FPI is not to rank teams 1 through 128; rather, it is to correctly predict games and season outcomes
Quote:
In the preseason, these components are made up entirely of data from previous seasons, such as returning starters, past performance, recruiting rankings and coaching tenure (more on the preseason component below). That information allows FPI to make predictions (and make determinations on the strength of a team's opponents) beginning in Week 1, and then it declines in weight as the season progresses. It is important to note that prior seasons' information never completely disappears, because it has been proved to help with prediction accuracy even at the end of a season. Vegas similarly includes priors when setting its lines.

I don't doubt your'e right but as we have known for many years around here, if the highly ranked recruits aren't out on the field making plays their recruiting rankings mean nothing. Seems like an incredibly flawed system that should have low credibility. Ignoring head to head road victories also smacks of lack of credibility .
they have always been a joke but get defended all the time with the full season needed for it to correct argument - if this is true , why is Indiana number 2? They have one of the lowest ranked recruiting classes in B1G but somehow that doesn't affect their FOS ranking.BenTheGoodAg said:
