Does anyone ever examine preseason rankings after the fact, over years, to determine if any source is better or more predictive of the final outcome?
Stassen does

I started watching the video and got bored.  How is the US "destroying" the future for young folks?
Exhibit A, everyone.

OK, does anyone do better than anyone else?  I know the case for mutual funds.

The speaker is deadly boring and destroyed any interest I may have had in the topic.  Folks need to get to the point and stop qaffling around.

College football sleeping giants: Programs due for breakthrough (247sports.com)

GaTech, Nebbie, South Carolina, ECU, Miami, ... 

Meh.

I'm just not seeing much future at Tech anyway.  They could pop up at times.

I can buy Nebraska and Miami for obvious reasons.  The others might have a nice season here and there, but I don't expect them to become consistently very good, or to be considered in any sense a "giant".

You'd think Tech might have some upside as they're located right in the center of pretty much the biggest metro in the Southeast. 

But it seemed from my time in the state, that everyone in state is one of two things: a Tech alumni or a Bulldog fan. And one group is MUCH smaller than the other.

Tech simply lacks commitment, but students, by administration, by fans.  They are akin to Purdue, in a lot of ways.  Most students view themselves as students, as noted many are foreigners with no background in CFB, they seem to think "college" is about education.

The only time they sell out is when Clemson or UGA play.

Tech would sell out a lot more if they were in the B1G.
