    How many wins for GT to earn a CFP berth?

    9 regular season wins puts this team in the top 25. The easiest path to 9 wins is 3 top 25 wins and no losses outside the top 25.

    Article Phil Steele Ranks Georgia Tech's Offensive Line As One of The Nation's 10 Best

    And we’re a top 50 team with a top 10 schedule. Out of 12 games, 6 are against teams ranked in the preseason top 25, with two in the top 5, and three more between 10-20. If we win 7, this should be a top 20-25 team.

    I have so few memories of positive Phil Steele GT previews that I don’t know what to say

    Uncle Lou predicts seven wins for GT this year

    If the Tight Ends can start producing in the pass game, then a lot can open up. Sometimes, our offense looked like a Ferrari, sometimes it looked like a Ferrari with three spark plugs. The offense needs consistency and to move the sticks more efficiently. On defense, I’ve lost track of how...

    Conference Realignment

    The PAC12 network is still up. It’s mostly replays of Washington State beating Washington and Oregon State beating Oregon. Sometimes they show Washington State and Oregon State beating other teams. Edit: it ended June 30th at midnight 😢

    Uncle Lou predicts seven wins for GT this year

    I looked at our postgame win expectancies from last season. Clemson, Louisville, Ole Miss, and UGA were more solid losses than you would guess. I don’t have first half vs second half of season splits for defense, but I think this is useful In retrospect, our passing offense wasn’t all that...

    Uncle Lou predicts seven wins for GT this year

    To be optimistic on defense There’s a lot of room to move up and We overhauled the defensive staff with coaches that have been successful before There are lots of reasons why the defense wouldn’t improve—we need more ballers/all-conference guys in the front 6/7. We made a lot of mistakes, and...

    Article on Brent Key

    I’ve seen someone else do a different breakdown, and assign different percentages to how successful it makes you. I may add a bit to it, but it was essentially this: Recruiting: no amount of training will make a 5’4” player 6’7”. Some players are gifted with potential, and if they’re willing to...

    Blue Chip Ratio

    I would say “potential first rounder” and “50-60% chance of getting drafted” are different things. The former implies way too much. While every high school player is a potential first round draft choice, how many high school players would you actually say that about?

    Blue Chip Ratio

    If you’re a 5*, you can blow out a knee in your freshman year. There are lots of obstacles between a sure fire recruit and getting drafted. Saying a 5* recruit is a likely first-rounder is overselling on the part of the recruiting services. They should (reasonably) say “this athlete is more...

    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    Ndongo is trying to make the NBA, and his best shot is at PF. I’d think he’s going to play the 4 as much as we can play him there. We added two centers (3, unless one plays OTE this year)—aren’t we going to use them as centers?

    Favorite moment of the ‘23-‘24 athletic season?

    The Syracuse football game for getting bowl eligibility. A nice change of pace in controlling a game from the start. BB winning vs Duke in December. I’d forgotten that wins were allowed. Miami excited everyone.

    My way too early, possibly problematic look at potential GT Hoops roster management

    I understand looking at the roster and thinking about the 7-8 players that get most of the minutes on the ideal “healthy” roster. At any given time, someone on this roster is going to need to rest and to heal up. How many times has our team gone through a rough patch because someone couldn’t...

    CDS staff speculation.

    Mercer took it to us a few years ago. I think they were using that Purdue offense.
