With a month to play, there’s a good chance the predictives will manifest and that Kentucky will take 1-2 more losses. Wildcats might get smacked at Neyland.

But that hasn’t happened yet.

Why are they being punished for what the committee expects will happen?

SP+ post game win percentages for UK of 27.5% and 34.6% for the SoCar & LSU games… which means the results are better than they played (sometimes you get lucky, part of the game… but it’s not considered repeatable, which is what these power ratings are meant to represent - how well have you played (adjusted for opponent/SOS) as defined by repeatable performance metrics (YPP, success rate).

I don’t have a dog in the Utes/Wildcats comparison - am happy for Kenny Minchey though.

A cleaner way to look at college football resumes. No predictive metrics.

Borrowing from college basketball's WAB and Quad systems.

Quads determined by where your opponents rank in the CFB Metrics Consensus.

A little NCAA Tournament news:

Non-conference rematches will still be avoided in the Opening Round and first round.

But amid expansion from 68 to 76, language around avoiding them in the second round is no longer part of official NCAA guidance.
