Bill Connelly releases projected 2016 S&P+ rankings
Bill Connelly of S&P+ rankings fame has released his 2016 projections. Michigan comes in at 6, OSU at 14 and MSU at 22. The next B1G team is Nebraska at 26.
The biggest surprise to me is Washington at 10, although many in the media expect them to have a great year as Chris Petersen enters his third season.
What are your thoughts?
February 8th, 2016 at 2:12 PM ^
Does anyone else not think we'll be favored against MSU? I think the line will be something like Michigan -6 at kickoff.
February 8th, 2016 at 2:50 PM ^
Yeah, by the time it rolls around I wouldn't be surprised if we were 7-0 and they were 5-2 or thereabouts.
February 8th, 2016 at 3:04 PM ^
It would be an upset if UM is not 7-0 going into that game as its a back loaded schedule.
ND I think loses a lot but has a returning QB and if there is 1 coach who has Dantonio's # its Brian Kelly. You need a dynamic QB with the ability to throw over the top to beat MSU's scheme and ND has that, and its in South Bend so I see that as a loss.
MSU has Wisconsin at home and Indiana on the road but Indiana has lost its QB and RB .... Wisconsin matches up perfectly with MSU's D without a dynamic QB so I see MSU winning those 2. The interesting game is BYU as the QB has an arm to strife MSU IF that OL can hold up. Then again BYU's D will probably get physically dominated by MSU but it could be an interesting one.
I think MSU will be 10-2 or 9-3 so hopefully ND and UM are 2 of the losses and then we'll see what OSU can do up in EL. MSU might be 6-1 entering that game as I dont see man QBs on their schedule early to challenge them outside BYU and ND. MSU OSU play in Nov at which point OSU should be near top level but they need their QB to play like 2014 and not 2015 since MSU will sacrifice all to take away your run game.
February 8th, 2016 at 12:11 PM ^
We only play 2 top 25 teams from this list and only 3 others in the to 50. Only the fact that we play 3 of the 4 toughest teams on the road makes it more challenging. If you are going to be champion, you have to beat people on the road.
February 8th, 2016 at 10:52 AM ^
No column for Harbaugh. Underrates Michigan. Those 5 points bump us up to 2 or 3.
February 8th, 2016 at 10:53 AM ^
Big Ten gets absolutely demoloshed in S&P for 2016. May not be as extreme a fall as Bill predicts, but it won't be pretty. Luckily, Michigan is the exception, and I agree with that projection.
February 8th, 2016 at 11:46 AM ^
OSU and Sparty will start out the season ranked fairly high, possibly in the top ten.
Sparty plays ND and Wiscy in weeks 2 and 3; that should result in at least one loss, putting them in the "second ten." They could lose both and fall out of the top 25, depending on how they respond to all of their graduation losses.
OSU plays Oklahoma in week 3. We'll know by then if the Best Big 10 Team Money Can Buy is able to "reload" or if they are going to be in a transition year. I am betting they "reload" and are still tough.
The best news: both are going to be beatable for Michigan this year. That doesn't mean Michigan will beat both, but last year sorta proved that home and road don't mean a lot in any game between Michigan, Sparty and OSU.

I think other than 3-4 teams in the country ala FSU ALA and maybe soon OSU returning players is among the most important criteria. I know one of the CFB guys puts out a list of teams by returning starters each year and I like to mine the data there. OSU will be among the lowest - if not THE lowest - in all of CFB with 6. UM should be pretty damn high, certainly in the top 10 percentile. Then in 2017 we will be among the lowest.
February 8th, 2016 at 11:02 AM ^
February 8th, 2016 at 11:02 AM ^
Don't know the guy but how has his previous yearly predictions panned out?
February 8th, 2016 at 11:15 AM ^
February 8th, 2016 at 11:06 AM ^
I project I still want to see us play the games before I get too excited. I also project, however, that these projections will really piss off Sharty and the Worthless Nuts, which is nice...

Beside UM of course, I'm most interested in Iowa and MSU next year. I know Iowa ended with quite a thud, but I still think they were/are a top 25 team. As far as I can find, it doesn't seem like they lose much this year. Definitely have their QB and King back on defense. I was surprised Nebraska was ranked higher. As far as MSU, I could see a significant drop off. At the very least I can't see them improving this year, although the last few years have made me a little gun shy trying to bet against them. My brain tells me they stay right inside/outside the top 25.

Well, the only way for MSU to improve next year would be for them to play for the National Title. So in that sense, yeah they're probably not improving. Still an 8-9 win team though.
February 8th, 2016 at 11:38 AM ^
I just mean win total. I can't see them being tougher to beat this year than they were last year. I don't see a great QB on the depth chart. Although, I don't think anyone saw Cook coming either.
February 8th, 2016 at 12:17 PM ^
MSU had a lot of injuries in the game vs UM. They improved late in the year as their injury situation improved. I dont think UM got the best version of MSU - it was basically a star QB and a star WR on offense and thankfully our special teams was dominant until "That". And we had a lot of short fields. We still struggled to get offense because Rudock didnt take his big step until the next week - if November Rudock had been there vs MSU it would have been an interesting game, as you beat 2015 MSU thru the air and we barely tried.
MSU is not going anywhere until Dantonio retires. Even that 2012 team everyone points to I think they lost 5 games by a combined 12 pts. All the breaks they got in 2015 went against them in 2012. And they have 2 QBs who have been in the system 3-4 years unlike 2012 when they basically had Maxwell or bust.

semis would be an improvement.
February 8th, 2016 at 11:50 AM ^

Iowa doesnt lose too much. But they had a magical year with an easy schedule.
As for MSU your call for MSU to fall off significantly is the 92,302th on this blog the past 3 years. Their defense strength will change IMO from front 7 to back 7 with a solid front 4 but not dominant like last year. All those young secondary players who were burnt to shreds come back with a year of experience. And Malik McDowell might be one of the top 3 players in the conference. Their D will be good - as it almost always is. On offense they have to figure out some thingso on the OL, WR, and QB. I expect a lot of true freshman WRs out there and its asking a lot for them to have immediate impact but they have four 4* so I expect at least one to shine. They have good RBs, but will have some dropoff on the OL. And they have two QBs with decent experience for a non starter in terms of year in the system to compete.
MSU wont have as dynamic of an offense but will have a good defense paired with a Tressel like offense and will be coached well as always. I dont see any "signifcant" drop off - 9 to 10 wins is now a down year in the Dantonio era.

The full Big Ten list is interesting, but here are the full top five -
#6 - Michigan
#14 - Ohio State
#22 - Michigan State
#26 - Nebraska
#28 - Penn State
The top five are pretty consistent with a discussion someone tried to start in a thread a few days ago about the relative disparity in recruiting rankings among the divisions of the Big Ten. Historically, these teams above have also been the top five in recruiting class rankings in the conference most years. Four of these five, of course, are in the East Division.
The rest of conference falls in from #37 (Iowa) to #88 (poor damn Purdue).

Iowa finished 47th (!!!) in the 2015 S&P+ final rankings. That would be 1-spot behind Utah State, who finished 6-7 while playing a Mountain West schedule.
Take Iowa's 47th ranking FWIW, but no doubt it has a significant factor in terms of the 2016 projections.
I tend to prefer FEI versus S&P+, but Iowa wasn't great in the 2015 FEI final rankings either. 34th overall.
February 8th, 2016 at 12:22 PM ^
Iowa needs to play the disrespekt card.
I dont believe they lose a lot really - and they avoid MSU and OSU on their crossovers. They get UM, WIsc, NW, and Neb at home.
@PSU and @Minn are their 2 toughest road games. I see they surprising to the upside next year with a senior Qb.
February 8th, 2016 at 11:23 AM ^
but doesn't weight for positional importance of impact. IE, I can never put LSU that high as they have not developed a QB in a decade. LSU would essentially be Alabama over the past 7 years if they could develop a QB.
February 8th, 2016 at 12:53 PM ^
February 8th, 2016 at 12:58 PM ^
but if our QB next year turns out good and the LB's turn out passable after the first few games then I am riding that hypetrain come hell or high water
February 8th, 2016 at 1:05 PM ^
They could start slow and lose at Oklahoma, but I'd bet they finish the regular season with no less than 10-11 wins.

We have too much returning talent to not win a championship. Plus all the top college coaches had their national title runs in year two.

They do a much better job of telling you what happened, not what will happen. For example, S&P+ as a betting tool doesn't do much better than the average fan, slightly above 50%, even for the last full week of the regular season.

Connelly's predictions had them 3, 4, 5 ....... the pre-season AP poll had them 9, 6, 7.
I guess the pre-season AP is slightly better, but big picture BOTH predictions missed big-time.
Meanwhile, Connelly had Baylor & TCU & Oklahoma at 14, 18 and 10 ..... the pre-season AP poll had them at 4, 2 and 19. That's definitely advantagee Connelly.
I don't have the time to do a systmeatic comparison, but I do think the superior way to "validate" Connelly's pre-season predictions is how they did vis-a-vis the "standard prediction" (the pre-season AP poll is a pretty-good proxy for that), as opposed to looking at absolute misses. Everyone had their misses, but I'd bet Connelly had more "hits" than the pre-season AP polls did.

Likely so. S&P may very well be a more accurate predictive tool than human polls.
I think the better way to look at it, however, is that S&P isn't quite as horrendous as humans at predicting outcomes, especially those with a lot of variables and randomness.
The point of the OP seems to be to trust S&P predictions b/c they're more accurate, being all stats-y and whatnot. It just ain't true.

My intuition tells me that Connelly's model does have usefulness, it beats the general consensus. But admittedly, outside the few anecdotes I provided, I have no numbers to prove it.
What would be interesting: a model that takes the general consensus Top 20 teams and puts a percentage on the question: "is this team likely to be a bust in 2016?"
Auburn, Georgia, UCLA, Oregon in 2015 --- there are ALWAYS Top 20 busts. It's just hard to figure out who they will be.

Just put up a diary on offensive and defensive production returning that Bill posted last week - gives some foreshadowing on why he has teams ranked in specific spots. i.e. LSU returns almost everything, OSU loses the most in the nation. Worth a read if you like data and stats.

We are rated ahead of MSU and OSU. What i would like more is finishing the season ahead of them, everyone in the Big Ten and ....... I risk pressing my luck, EVERYONE ELSE!

Washington is building a nice little program up there without alot of fanfare. I think they're going to surprise people in the next year or so.
