Average Star Ratings vs. On Field Results

[dyehardfanAU 2,117]

Shows how far we've fallen and also how we've managed to do less with more than other teams.  This of course does not take into account positions and most of these teams have a much better OL than we do.  It also does not take the portal into account, but it's our own fault we haven't done better there as well.

EDIT:  This is based on the rosters for each team at the beginning of this season.

This comes from a rival college football site and shows who gets the most from their talent

1. Alabama 7-1
2. Georgia 8-0
3. Ohio State 8-0
4. Texas A&M 3-5
5. Clemson 8-0
6. Texas 5-3
7. Oregon 7-1
8. LSU 6-2
9. Oklahoma 5-3
10. Notre Dame 5-3
11. USC 7-1
12. Florida 4-4
13. Miami, Fla 4-4
14. Michigan 8-0
15. Penn State 6-2
16. North Carolina 7-1
17. Florida State 5-3
18. Auburn 3-5
19. Tennessee 8-0 
20. South Carolina 5-3
21. Washington 6-2
22. Ole Miss 8-1
23. Stanford 3-5
24. Nebraska 3-5

My first question would be what metrics did they use to determine who has the most talent?

Secondly, at least we’re not Texas A&M!🤣🤣🤣

[AUCE05 369]

Not a good comparison.  You can have 10 5* WR's throw this off.  It is why roster management is so critical.

I don't think this is included transfers.

Correct, as I said in my post.

So basically this is a list of teams ranked 1-25 with the Alabama having the most cumulative points based on 247 ratings and their current record?  Does this take into account the players Auburn has lost?

It's based on Rivals rankings of the rosters at the beginning of this season.

Bammer has had more talent on the field than any team they have faced, pretty much, for 10 years.... 

They should win every single game that they play based on who has the best players..

They basically have.  No team will ever be perfect over a 1.5+ decades but they have only lost 26 games in the last 16 years with 8 of those being in year 1 and 2.

Facepalm = that's stupid consistency. Goodness. Makes me sick with jealousy

Stars and  rankings are not a great measuring stick necessarily. GA has a walk on QB who’s won one Natty and has burned Tennessee throwing the ball to a 2 star wide receiver. In the end it’s about drive and coaching. I don’t see anyone touching UGA again this year. I live in GA and can’t stand them, so it’s even worse going through another crappy season as an AU fan. We’ve just never had any consistency in winning.

Overall they are a pretty good indicator.  Just because you can point out outliers it doesn't mean the entire system is flawed.
