2016-2017 Conference Comparison

The ACC had a pretty phenomenal bowl season, including representative Clemson winning the championship game against the vaunted SEC and defending champ Alabama. Here's a breakdown of how each conference faired in Chaos Rankings in terms of it's membership's average and median scores.

Updated Championship Game Prediction

Update 1/7/17 3:34 pm: Erm... Well this is embarrassing... My spreadsheet I use to auto-generate these predictions has an error in it where data is being pulled from the wrong place for the record of opponents played, which is affecting all the defensive numbers seen below. Something about Alabama allowing ~32 points per game seemed very wrong. The underlying data used for generating rankings is correct, it's just my web generator that's screwy. Stay tuned, and update will be posted later once I fix the calculator. The parts below I believe to be affected have been striked.

2016 Post-Bowl Rankings

The following rankings take into account all bowl games played through 1/2/17, including the playoffs. With a looming rematch of Alabama vs Clemson, it seems fitting enough that ChaosRankings has tapped them as the #1 and #2 ranked teams, respectively. Hopefully the on-field result will be as entertaining as last year!
