I posted this thread Thread 'What is college football analyst?' https://gtswarm.com/threads/what-is-college-football-analyst.26287/ Basically trying to figure out what a college analyst is and isn’t allowed to do. From some initial searching, an analyst is not allowed to do any coaching at...

Yes. Baseball is such an independent sport that stats like WAR can almost exclusively remove the "team" component (this is not 100% true as things like batting order might affect WAR aka being protected by a good batter behind you). It is hard to attribute a specific WAR to a running back...

I don't want to throw the "Key's Staff" even more off tangent, so I thought I'd create a separate thread here. So what exactly is an analyst in college football and what are the rules/restrictions surrounding them? I understand that in theory, an analyst will break down game film, will observe...

If all the statements are true that Faulkner is “instrumental to Stetson Bennet’s development” and is the “oc in waiting”, than I honestly am not surprised he is looking for a new job considering uga won’t even give him a proper coaching role despite being on staff for three years and being such...

Lincoln Riley already cracked that code.

And using any sort of metrics at the high school level is going to be high variance. A lot easier for MLB teams to scout farm systems.

He’s already performed one greatest transition of all time.

I want to begin with saying I agree with you. I do want to raise legitimate counter points though. If you look at the recent trends of coaches like Lane Kiffin going for it a lot on fourth down, the coaches are publicly ridiculed when not going with the conventional “put points on the board”...

You are pretty spot on. What I think people also misunderstand is moneyball helps teams over the course of a season (or even multiple seasons), it isn’t really meant for 5 and 7 game series. At some point, you have to get lucky (or not get unlucky). Even if you are 60% to win each game (which in...

More data. As before the bolded is the years are the active years, and previous years included for context. PPP is points per play, just raw stats. PPD is points per drive rank. ESPN FPI Eff is the efficiency ranking for the offense, and epa/play rank is the expected points added per play...

Every year is different. Last year, BYU (4), Western Kentucky (9), Air Force (12), Coastal Carolina (17), UTSA (24) were all in the top 25. The fact that this year is P5 heavy is just indicative of the P5 being strong this year.

FEI includes the non adjusted rating as well, it isn't hidden. Also, there isn't much you can do when comparing teams that have similar numbers with weaker SOS. You have to really out perform you SOS to be ranked high (a good example is UTSA this year who has a SOS in the 70's but still top 25...

I see them as fourth, not sure what you are seeing. Not that fourth is anything to sneeze at.

Roster doesn’t play a roll nor does what your conference mates do. The raw numbers are that they were a second quartile offense in the 38-44 range. Then the weak SOS affects the ultimate ranking (I believe FEI uses some sort of machine learning to determine what is expected performance based on...

It's because total yards is a useless stat that has no bearing on winning games. ESPN FPI has them rated 83 in 2017. If you want to just look at "raw" FEI, they were ranked 45th in offense without accounting for SOS. They scored 2.41 points per drive, good for 38th place. Their yards per play...

Unless there is a collective bargaining agreement, there is really nothing else left but allowing the free market to express itself.

Random question somewhat related, has the "4 years of eligibility" ever been challenged in court? Given how NIL/transfers/outright paying players was restricted for so long, I was wondering why NCAA has the ability to restrict players to certain limits (which seem more arbitrary given what they...

Those are incredibly small incentives.

BYU has an NIL initiate that pays for all walk ons’ tuition. We are already close to that.
