SHOCKING! WHO would have thought?!

Well, at least with the FSU game, we won't be on upset alert! Now, if we can just get that tool Corso to pick against us for every game...

Well, winning out is hard.


Apr 12, 2016, 3:40 PM

Only two teams have done it in the last five years. Clemson hasn't done it in 35 years.

Predicting Clemson to not lose a game would be more adventurous than picking them to lose a game. Same goes for Alabama, FSU, or anyone else.

FPI still has some 'splaining to do. They somehow had Oklahoma favored over us, and I think we came in at #4 or #5 or something even after crushing the Sooners by 20.

S&P+ from footballoutsiders.com has been a lot more accurate than FPI over the last few years. If you wanna listen to the math geeks, at least listen to the right ones.

Apr 12, 2016, 4:08 PM

I wonder what the FPI PREDICTION rate has been. Clemson had almost no chance going to the national playoff last year. But the FPI was wrong. It's just a math model subject to input conditions. Don't believe anything you read about National Playoffs. It's BS and intended to generate interest only in a website.

Especially if they are getting their predictions from a computer analyzation, bc computers can only analyze the information that was entered!!!

I think the shear presence of dw4 changes things. I'm honestly more worried about our house of horror (atl) than at fsu. We have played them close at fsu but this is a different team, and with DW4 at the helm I feel a little more comfortable. In my opinion he really hasn't lost a game as the starter. Barely played at the loss to gt and did everything he could to win the nc. That loss was solely on special teams and defensive busts. He put up record numbers.

Re: FB Update: ESPN's FPI predicts Clemson's 2016 season with FSU loss


Apr 12, 2016, 4:40 PM

I was thinking the same thing. Does the FSU qb compare to Watson? Not likely. Delvin Cook is the guy to watch out for. Both squads have lost a lot of great players from the last couple of years. So it comes down to coaching and execution. I think Clemson has enough explosive play makers to win this one at Doak-Campbell. If they put up 40 against 'Bama, they can put up some points against FSU.

My last away game at FSU was 2006. I might go this year.

On the flip side, the FPI gives...


Apr 12, 2016, 4:55 PM

Arkansas a 97.8% chance of beating FSU in Tallahassee, a 99.407% chance in the National Title game, and a 102.5% chance on any of Saturn's moons.

Wooo Pig Suey!!!

ESPN's FPI says it all.


Apr 12, 2016, 5:11 PM

"The FPI ranking formula is virtually a mystery to all outside a few in Bristol, Connecticut. The only information published on how the rankings are calculated is very vague and questionable in accuracy. The only explanations for the ranking system we could find from ESPN are these….

The previous year’s performance
“OFFENSE: Offensive efficiency in terms of offense’s contribution to scoring margin on all its plays, adjusted for strength of opposing defenses* faced.
DEFENSE: Defensive efficiency in terms of defense’s contribution to scoring margin on all its plays, adjusted for strength of opposing offenses* faced.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Special teams efficiency in terms of special teams’ contribution to scoring margin on all its plays, adjusted for strength of opposing special teams* faced.
OVERALL: Overall net efficiency, summing up adjusted offensive, defensive, and special teams efficiencies; a measure of scoring margin per game, adjusted for schedule*.”
Returning starters, Starting QB return counts most
Coach changes, positive if last year was poor, negative if prior year was good
Recruiting rankings..."

You post your chit and I'll post mine. We should ask the members here which seems the most reliable.

Apr 12, 2016, 5:26 PM

We've got the athletes and the coaches in place now to win every game, every year, but we still have to prove it on the field. We haven't won a game in Atlanta since 2003 or in Tallahassee since 2006.

ANYTHING THAT ESPN POSTS THIS EARLY IS PURE DRIBBLE. We were on upset watch and still beat FSU, NOTRE DAME and Oklahoma. Barring a screw up on Special Teams, we could have very well beat Alabama. Pure speculation by someone in Bristol trying to stir the perverbial pot to keep their job. Clemson has the Talent, better Coaching and a winning mindset ! GO TIGERS!!!
