FIX FEI RATINGS FOR EACH TEAM
So I usually try to talk in generalities about the national landscape of college football in the introduction but let’s narrow our focus. Since we have seen seven weeks, and teams have all played at least half of their games, we’re drawing from a legitimate sample of results now. And while some of the statistics can still be a bit wonky, the hallowed “eye test” does start to hold a little more water than it did after, say, three weeks.
I try to balance the eye test with on-field results and underlying statistics to correctly tag whether a team is trending upward or downward in the Big Ten pecking order.
