[QUOTE="One Man Fast Break, post: 1802603, member: 544656"] I don't know the methodology, but somehow Minnesota went up 2 spots in FPI (19th to 17th) and Illinois, despite starting much lower, only went up 3 spots (38th to 35th). Our "Strength of Record" which is much more resume based (and in line with the AP Poll) has us 16th though. Our overall efficiency rating is 21st (55th offense and 4th defense, with 89th special teams). Don't really how a thoroughly statistically domination of such a highly rated FPI team didn't move Illinois up more, or how Minnesota moved up being statistically dominated by a "lesser" team, but I guess I don't know what the raw numbers were before. I try not to focus too much on those overall things as they pertain to just our specific team because the whole of college football impacts things (MSU beats Wisconsin, that makes Minnesota's domination of MSU more impressive, etc.), but this one just seems weird.
