[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 3220658, member: 72863"] I guess not but advanced analytics do about as good a job of objectively analyzing a team's strength as anything else out there. Billions of dollars are on the line every week based on those measurables, they have to be as accurate as possible or else huge businesses are going to lose a hell of a lot of money. They tend to not like doing that. And cherry-picking results is not really a good way to dispute that, of course games aren't going to turn out just like they should every week. We beat Baylor by 1 point. So some people are saying we should be #2 or #3 (even #1) and we are just one point better than Baylor? Of course not, that's stupid. That's about as relevant as the Texas and Oklahoma results relative to the spreads. The CFP committee is obviously not going straight by advanced analytics (nor should they IMO) because we are #4 and Texas is #24, but those advanced analytics say Texas would be favored by 2 points in the Big 12 CCG against us. And they probably would be. [/QUOTE]
