Analytical program still says Clemson No. 3 team in 2018, Bama No. 1

All I can do is laugh.

Some of these analytical people are getting a little ridiculous.

If you have not heard, SB Nation’s Bill Connelly, who invented the S&P+ analytical program, says Clemson was not 28 points better than Alabama last year.

He also said, via Twitter on Tuesday, his formula still has Alabama as the better team, and it ranks Clemson No. 3 behind Georgia, as well.

Excuse me, but doesn’t what actually happened in the game matter more than what some formula says?

1. Clemson starts '19 3rd because it ended '18 3rd.
