[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 772567, member: 4572"] 3 of the 8 ACC teams in the top 45 have losing records. The ACC also had 15 members this year, more than any other conference. FWIW, the B1G had 2 of their 7 teams with losing records, the PAC-12 had 1, the Big 12 had none, and the SEC had none. Does it really matter if someone’s FEI is high if they aren’t any good? Louisville is rated 44th in FEI, but they went 4-7 and finished 12th in the ACC. Wake Forest is rated 39th in FEI but finished 4-5 and 10th in the ACC. Also, year-to-year FEI rankings are about as useful as looking at how many teams finish a season ranked: they’re not useful at all. Last year, the ACC had just 2 teams finish in the top 45 in FEI. Compared to: [LIST] [*]SEC - 9 [*]B1G - 8 [*]Big 12 - 7 [*]PAC 12 - 5 [*]American - 7 [/LIST] Looking at year-to-year results instead of overall trends is not useful in determining anything. The ACC is not at the top in any useful data point when you look at the whole picture. [/QUOTE]
