FEI Weeks 6 and 7

In all the bye week laziness I missed the FEI update. Clemson dropped from #22 all the way down to #30 after the bye, somewhat inexplicably. After walloping Wake last week, they're up to #21. The computers still believe in us! The bad news: Miami is ranked #5. I think it's important to remember that "advanced statistics" like this will rank teams according to strength, but don't necessarily capture how well a team might match up with another. I'll elaborate more in the preview, but I think this is a case where the matchup works in Clemson's favor, which should at least keep us from getting blown out on Saturday.

Ken Massey has us at #40 after the Wake game, up a few notches from #44 two weeks ago.
