Advanced stats don't lie, part 2...UGA projected 5th in FEI

Yesterday, Connelly's stats had us 3rd. Today, Fremeau has us 5th. Fremeau's stats look solely at game performance, I have to assume adjusted for returning starters, ect.

I reached out to get a sense of how his formula works:

@TylerDawgden Projections primarily based on 5yr efficiency weighted for more recent data. Transition data includes ret starters, recruiting

The projected top ten:

1. Ohio State
2. Alabama
3. Oregon
4. Baylor
5. Georiga
6. UCLA
7. FSU
8. Notre Dame
9. TCU
10. Michigan State

As I mention in yesterday's post, this isn't a prediction of how the season will end. It is a projection of what should happen, factoring actual, FBS vs. FBS non-garbage time plays.

PS. If you are into advanced stats, Connelly and Fremeau are the go to guys.
