Episode: Ep 762 - IU Football Advanced Stats deep-dive with ESPN's Bill Connelly
Description: We're joined by ESPN college football stats guru Bill Connelly to talk IU football! Bill is the originator of the SP+, an efficiency-based ratings system for college football. We discuss the 2020 Hoosiers in depth, and dive into why IU's SP+ numbers didn't match their poll rankings. We then look to the current season and evaluate how Indiana is projecting forward, why they have so many toss-up games, and what areas IU might improve upon. We also take a specific look at a couple of key early-season matchups and talk about what Hoosier fans might expect in those games.
