Milton is back up to Cat 5 status. Still looks like Tampa or Sarasota. It could turn south, though. The evacuation starting on Monday led to big traffic jams https://www.tampabay.com/hurricane/2024/10/07/tampa-bay-traffic-jams-thousands-evacuate-before-hurricane-milton/

For what it's worth, 65 is average. PFF scales their grades to a 100 point scales, with 65 as the average. As a range, you might see 60-70 as an "average" block, 50-60 as below average, below 50 as poor, 70-80 as above average, and above 80 as exceptional. The defensive grades are at...

I think the story of those games will be about those defenses against Duke's weak offense. After a while, their defense will fail because their offense gets shut out.

I thought they looked solid. They tackled well They are opponent adjusted 👍🏼

I looked to see if UNC had faced a defense like ours. Their scores are all over the place, but just about every defense they’ve faced has been a top-50 defense, and a lot in the top 30. Charlotte and NCCU aren’t anything to write home about, but Minnesota, Duke, Pitt, and JMU all have decent...

I’m posting this because it’s going to come up. This looks sick— let’s treat this seriously and keep it focused on the individual (Colbie Young) He was arrested for assaulting a pregnant woman this morning On ESPN now—misdemeanor charges currently...

Holstein threw for 301 and ran for 59 against WVU. He threw for 302 and ran for 36 against Cincy. I think those are Holstein kinds of numbers. I watched some of the UNC V Minnesota game, and was glad a fellow ACC team won, but wasn't super impressed. I haven't watched them much since then. I...

TFC did get asked a lot of “is there bad blood?” questions and personal questions. He didn’t seem to seek them out. They did go on a little long. I didn’t get much of an idea of what they are doing on defense, other than being close now.

Sometimes they say something useful. For example, it's not just perception that we run the ball more often than other teams would--we really do. Most of the models favored us over Duke, but a few didn't. I don't think any did over FSU, and that was from last year's data. They implied the (Duke)...

Kelly Ford projections--the Duke win was big. Last week, the odds were that we wouldn't go bowling. This week, odds look very good. Winning over UNC would be HUGE https://kfordratings.com/projections Very good offense (poor other stuff) Overall, he's got us at #49 (Duke didn't really...

At this point in the season, last year's stats should be cleaned out. Here's Massey's Ratings, though--always just for this season. FSU is 14th out of 17. Offense is horrid. Team Record Δ Rat Pwr Off Def HFA SoS SSF EW EL Miami FL Atlantic Coast 6-0 1.000 1 8.53 3 65.99 2 63.56 10 29.68...

I was fighting Excel earlier. I had them in the table when everything was a date. The Louisville loss was understandable--we should have beaten Syracuse, though. Their defense isn't special, but we made it look special. Their offense is respectable, but we made it look way too good. I shared...

CFB Graphs/CFB Insiders/Parker Flemming game prediction--GT by about 1 point: https://www.collegefootballinsiders.com/matchup_preview/?team1=Georgia%20Tech&team2=North%20Carolina RROE is "Rush Rate over Expected", and we run the ball more often that the average team.
