Gotta love CFU

I am not even talking about Ucf.  The point is that if our conference was not extremely under valued we would be the 4th or 5th, maybe even the 3rd best conference. If our teams were ranked were they should be, Ucf would have been a “quality” loss.  Conference ranking is based on those same subjective perceptions that kept the AAC down, so what makes the AAC the 6th best conference, because we were told so?  

I mean, I can cite 90+ computers that have us ranked 6th. I personally don't believe that all of these computer rankings are part of a global conspiracy to keep the AAC down.

These are the team efficiency ratings, which would suggest there are 10 more deserving teams. We'll subtract Auburn since they get the 20/20 effect of knowing they beat them head to head in the Peach Bowl, even though that wouldn't have come into play at the time of selection. 

1	Alabama, SEC	86.4	89.9	50.6	92.8
2	Georgia, SEC	85.9	87.2	55.8	91.6
3	Penn State, Big Ten	88.6	77.2	62.2	89.8
4	OSU, Big Ten	85.6	83.5	49.1	89.5
5	Clemson, ACC	76.4	90.9	47.3	89.0
6	Oklahoma, Big 12	96.6	52.3	38.2	85.9
7	Wisconsin, Big Ten	70.1	86.9	57.2	84.7
8	Notre Dame, FBS Indep.	77.1	79.9	45.5	82.7
9	Washington, Pac-12	78.3	75.4	55.4	82.4
10	Auburn, SEC	70.7	84.7	46.8	82.4
11	UCF, American	80.4	66.6	63.7	80.6

You can't cite anything from ESPN. They're part of the dark army keeping us down.

I noticed that UGA, PSU, Wisconsin and OSU were all ranked #1 in one or more of those rankings ..... Have to assume those state legislatures are all firing up national champion license plate campaigns.

That's a given.

I'm not calling anything wrong unless i'm willing to check the math, Which I am not. 

Anyone else? have at it

eam efficiencies are based on the point contributions of each unit to the team's scoring margin, on a per-play basis. The values are adjusted for strength of schedule and down-weighted for "garbage time" (based on win probability). The scale goes from 0 to 100; higher numbers are better and the average is roughly 50 for all categories. Efficiencies update daily during the season.

This one takes out Washington but still leaves Auburn and the Seven I mentioned. 

The Fremeau Efficiency Index (FEI) is a college football rating system based on opponent-adjusted drive efficiency. Approximately 20,000 possessions are contested annually in FBS vs. FBS games. First-half clock-kills and end-of-game garbage drives and scores are filtered out. Game efficiency (GE) is a measure of net success on non-garbage possessions, and FEI opponent adjustments are calculated with special emphasis placed on quality performances against good teams, win or lose. Strength of schedule (SOS) ratings represent the average number of losses an elite team (two standard deviations better than average) would have against the team's entire schedule.

Offensive FEI (OFEI) is value generated per drive adjusted for starting field position and opponent defenses faced. Defensive FEI (DFEI) is value generated per opponent drive adjusted for starting field position and opponent offenses faced. Special Teams Efficiency (STE) is the average value generated per possession by a team's non-offensive and non-defensive units.

Note that SOS, OFEI, DFEI, and STE ratings formulas and formatting have been updated for the 2017 season. Archived ratings for other seasons will be updated in the off-season.

Rk	Team	Rec	FEI	GE	Rk	SOS	Rk	OFEI	Rk	DFEI	Rk	STE	Rk
1	Georgia	12-2	.312	.239	6	3.03	2	3.36	7	.98	5	.05	21
2	Alabama	12-1	.305	.271	2	2.42	4	3.19	11	.88	2	.04	32
3	Clemson	11-2	.289	.230	7	2.24	7	2.76	21	.83	1	.01	53
4	Oklahoma	12-2	.281	.219	9	2.46	3	4.16	1	2.13	53	-.02	85

ArmyBull checked the math and says the AAC is definitely the 5th best conference, maybe the 4th, but probably the 3rd.

I thought based on having the National Champions we moved up to #1! #aac4life

No. All of this is pre-playoffs. Everyone knows UCF is the National Champion now.
