This Blind Resume Comparison Suggests OSU Should be Ranked WAY Higher
Oklahoma State is ranked No. 9 in the Week 12 AP Top 25 and was ranked No. 10 in the College Football Playoff rankings last week. This blind resume comparison below suggests that is practically BCS-level mockery of rankings.
First up, let’s look at Team A. Team A is 9-1 with a 4-1 record against FPI top-50 foes (with a 10.6 points per game margin) and one win vs. a ranked team at game time. Pretty good, right?
OK, so here’s Team B: A 9-1 record with a 5-1 mark against FPI top-50 opponents (with a 12.2 points per game margin) and three wins vs. teams ranked at game time.
Think you know which resume is better? Me too. But wait, there’s more.
