Probably has more to do with every single relevant FO contributor- including their founder Aaron Schatz- leaving the company: https://defector.com/the-people-who-acquired-football-outsiders-are-screwing-the-people-who-built-it I would not count on FO for anything moving forward. Personally I'll...

UVA is going to be horrible this year. I listened to Bud Elliott's Cover 3 Summer School episode on them this weekend and it is not a good outlook for them. I have pretty realistic expectations for GT this year, but I feel pretty confident that this will be a win for us no matter where the game...

I saw that week 1 lines have been posted on DraftKings. Louisville opened -8.5. I would expect that number to move to double digits before kickoff, so if you want to play GT no need to bet it now.

Louisville and Wake are definitely key games on this schedule. As @Root4GT pointed out, it is likely that LOU improved both their QB and HC positions in the offseason. At Wake, Mitch Griffis impressed in spring practice. Even though he's listed as a RS Soph, he's somehow been in the program...

I don’t make the numbers, man. The method used to determine the win total is also used by the books when they set Regular Season Win totals, so I figured I’d share the insight. It projected a win total of 4.27 in February and lo and behold the win total is set between 4-4.5. For what it’s...

I posted this in a different thread back in February, but I think it is worth revisiting now that books are releasing season win totals- I have been a profitable recreational sports bettor the past three years, using a quantitative methodology based heavily in analytics and advanced stats. One...

The NIL market is so immature at this point that I do think valuations like On3's will be influential in setting the market, especially if their valuations will be a data point NIL agents (LOL) use when seeking out the best deal. Whether the numbers are based in reality or speculation is a moot...

What specifically do you think is inaccurate? I'm not looking to make an argument either way, just genuinely curious. On3 seems to be fairly well respected by media sources regarding NIL valuations- a quick google has SI, ESPN, Sports Business Journal, and Axios citing their information. I...

This is super interesting, thank you for posting.

It has been suspected that the selection committee has been relying on advanced stat metrics / ratings (KenPom, Bart Torvik) more and more the past few years for both the selection of teams in the tournament and the seeding. Which is great in my opinion because every single advanced ranking...

Was the Director of Player Development for GT in 2011/12, so he's familiar with the Institute. We won't mention the actual player development on that team, though ;) He was also the primary recruiter for Anthony Edwards, which is impressive.

My personal hot take- Batt knew he was going to have to hire a men's bball coach and that played into the financial considerations of what we were working with for football. He was on the AD's executive team when Bama hired Oats, so let's hope that he gained something from that experience. At...

LOL, I'll try to make the predictions get better, but you know what they say- the numbers don't lie! I agree with you- there are other things this year that are more important than the W / L record. I would like to see a well disciplined, well coached team on the field. I would like to see...

Louisville is expected to have a top 20 defense and upgraded their head coach (I think it is a big upgrade- Brohm did a hell of a job at Purdue). They're 36th overall in preseason SP+. Syracuse is returning 73% of their production, which is significant (the mean is 62%). They will more than...

You want preseason, or the implied probability the week that we played those games?

Thanks Iceeater! I'm excited to dig in with y'all this year and have some fun talking factually about our coaching staff's decisions in high leverage situations, our offensive scheme, and of course uniforms all the while maintaining an unhealthy emotionally attachment to the white and gold!

Hi all, first time post here. I posted stuff like this on the Hive last year, but they seem to prefer discussing matters concerning former player's religious faith vs. GT athletics these days so I'll bring the conversation over here. I have been a profitable recreational sports bettor the past...
