247 2025 team composite just dropped...

[JasonB]

Some interesting notes:

- Ratings overall dropped this year, probably because of the outflux of covid players that had extra years that allowed teams to pile up talent on the rosters.
- Clemson has the 7th best roster in the county, and at the top of the ACC. There are 17 teams who average over a 90 rating of players on their roster. Miami is part of that group at 15th.
- SMU is 4th in the ACC in terms of both player average (88.12) and total ranking. We moved up a spot compared to last year, jumping past UNC.
- Syracuse is 6th in the ACC, but it is a little skewed because they have 2 5 star players and have more players rated. The average player is in the lower half of the league. Top heavy roster.
- We all heard about the players who transferred out from Cal, but they had an unheralded transfer and recruiting class. They were a big rister in the standings, just behind Syracuse in total points. That road game might be a little more salty than people think.
- Continue to be surprised at the low quality of the BC roster. They are second to last in the league, between Virginia and WF. Duke is just ahead of Virginia. Duke and BC might underperform.
- Looking at the Big 12, when stack ranking them top to bottom, they are lower than their ACC equivalent at every spot.
- Tech took a huge bump with their spending, and are top of the league in total points and average, bouyed by 1 5 star player. They are still behind SMU in Total points (766.67 to 757.49) and average (88.12 to 87.81). They are well off the top of the ACC (Clemson 918.15 and 90.68)
- Baylor is a big riser also, moving up to 5th in the Big 12 in roster quality.

Last year played out according to the points, outside of the FSU game, which is part of the reason I predicted 11-1 last season. Looking at our schedule, Clemson and Miami are significantly ahead of us. TCU is closely behind us, with about the same difference in points difference as last year (20 point gap, 0.3 in average player). Baylor, Syracuse, and Cal are each about 20 points further behind TCU, although as mentioned before Syracuse is top loaded with those 5 stars. With Syracuse and Baylor being at home, you would expect SMU to win those games. With TCU and Cal on the road, the difference in points is close enough that you would expect SMU to lose at least one out of those two games. So, evaluating the season by team talent, you would expect a 9-3 or 8-4 season, which is about where I have us.
