[QUOTE="Snoopy, post: 1808309, member: 17616"] I’m curious how relevant the advanced stat approach is to analyzing college football? College basketball has more games and many more possessions per game, and even then, the advanced stats don’t become reliable as rankings or predictors until the end of the season. I get that things like turnovers do correlate to wins and loses in football, but the luck factor in college football turnovers has got to be pretty insane. As near as I can tell, the top 4-5 teams are exponentially better than everyone else in college football. And that is pretty much the only reason that there is some predictability in who makes the playoffs every year. Advanced stats have made baseball nearly unwatchable, kinda of hoping they don‘t apply to other sports in the same manner…. [/QUOTE]
