I’m fine with using head to head as a tiebreaker between two teams. That’s what the NFL does. They don’t use it to compare three teams, or four teams, or 131 teams. Bama wasn’t in a position to get the benefit of a tiebreaker. It wasn’t between them and UGA for the last slot. Again—pick your...

When you say “but Bama beat UGA”, you’re comparing resumes. Also, you’re just honing in on one example vs the entire season If you were just looking at two teams, then you could look at head to head. but when a team has any losses, you get “UGA beat x who beat y who beat Bama”. There are over...

Best four teams are something like Michigan Ohio State Oregon UGA The team with the best resumes were Washington FSU Michigan Texas Alabama doesn’t make a best four list, unless you’re a Bama fan

There is very little coverage of this process. The AJC has only written after-the-fact pieces. There are others still making hires. I think most of the dominoes have fallen, but there should be some others looking for defensive coaches, and others might get poached. Some B1G schools have been...

Here are some names people have mentioned Sherrer: He's a possibility, but if he was going to be the choice, why not announce it already? Unlikely Tyler Santucci (Duke): Cut loose as part of the coaching turnover at Duke. Matches one of our other hires. Coaches LB, so either Sherrer goes, or...

Clemson seems underrated. We do, too. Are we really worse than FSU?

Happy 2024!

It’s good that we added a DL. It’s good that we won against other teams. We’re apparently placing a lot of emphasis on cultural fit and intangibles—we want measurables, but we also want the kind of attitude that has made teams like Pitt and Duke good for the last few seasons. The timing is...

They have NIL, and one of the top 10 recruiting classes. They’ll go portaling in the Spring and rebuild their roster.

Yeah. FSU’s goal was CFP or bust, and they went bust. I guess the culture is better at UGA

If we offered a teaching degree, a bachelor’s or master’s in education would be a good fit for graduates. even though teaching is a really stressful environment these days, a number of athletes want to get into coaching Not likely to happen here

Some of the best bowls are the ones that would cut, and some of the crappiest bowls were today.

You mean Walter White, right?

I was thinking Ohio State should fire Day and back up the truck for Kiffin. It’s a better fit for Kiffin because he wouldn’t get compared to Saban Their offense isn’t bad—they’re a top 15 team and they’re in a big bowl, and they were in the CFP conversation late in the season. It’s just...

If you want to look at strategy (vs tactics)—Penn State is running state-of-the-art 2005 offense and defense. Ole Miss is state-of-the-art 2020’s offense, and probably a bit more modern than Penn State at defense. Penn State is getting ripped (in a bad way). Ole Miss had more yards by halftime...

I like plays with “GT” in the title

McVay and Shanahan built offenses to tear apart 2010-decade defenses. Now, how are defenses adapting? https://www.readoptional.com/p/how-nfl-defenses-are-evolving-to

At least it’s not a “skullet”. https://www.thetrendspotter.net/skullet-haircuts/ At about this time last year, we thought that Chadwell or Fritz would be our head coach, so gotta be careful about rumors and speculation

And then this happens
