Here are some end of the regular season advanced stats. We may be missing some data from our first couple of games because of the ESPN data feed. Before we get into much detail--if SP+ by Bill Connelly wasn't paywalled, I'd be using it a lot. It has easy explanations of why you succeeded or...

Sometimes you’ll see “Excitement Index”. There are several different definitions. Here’s one that’s “for how many plays out of the total was the game close? (pretty much)” https://sports.sites.yale.edu/game-excitement-index-part-ii For the GT-UGA game, the index was 5.11, which is a pretty...

Some of this is nuts. But, after Cutcliffe had a good run, and now Elko, it doesn’t look like a horrible spot. Fortunately, ADs have now figured out what makes a team successful:

ESPN’s tracker===> https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38890311/college-football-coaching-tracker-firings-hirings-latest-news Lists JMU’s Cignetti as a Duke possibility, which might be a scarier upgrade than Fritz.

Candle is supposed to be good. (Babers was too, but it wasn’t enough)

If someone personally doesn’t want to go to New York to see a bowl game, that’s your preference. I think there will be plenty of police officers around Yankee Stadium, and there’s a lot of fun things to do in New York. I was just there this summer

NYC looks safer than Dallas and a lot safer than St Louis. Safer than any of the Florida bowl locations or Charlotte—at least for homicides https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate?wprov=sfti1#Crime_rates

MTSU seems to have just fired their coach. This week might have more changes. Also, Hoke and Bowden retired, and their ADs seem to be happy they did

Philly seems to be able to get a 4th and 2 without a fullback. I think Faulkner has a plan. However, I wouldn’t mind a Bob Christian or Ironhead Heyward guy to send in. If Biggers can take a handoff, I’m ok with that, too

Bowl committees have long memories. maybe they’ll be convinced this time is different, but you’re usually happier taking a team trending up than trending down. Especially if their best players aren’t participating

The Sun Bowl had a bad experience with USC. Do you want a team that doesn’t want to be there?

I go to NYC multiple times a year, and usually have a wonderful time there. I’ve never had an issue with crime there, and I don’t even remember any panhandling. I’ve used the subway and LIRR on almost every trip. The closest I’ve come to crime is jogging through a spot where a Law & Order...

Let’s see him have a one of those bowls like the old Humanitarian bowl where he sets a single game rushing record. Hopefully, he goes out in gaudy style

Here is a list: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-coaching-carousel-tracker-analysis-grades-on-coach-changes-2023-24-firings-and-hirings/amp/ I wouldn’t be surprised to see more coaches fired this week. UVA is possible. Plus, there are retirements

Iowa may have more punt yards than offensive yards this season. They’ve definitely had games with more punt yards That it’s even in the realm of possibility for a 10-2 team is stunning

I watched them against Texas Tech, and they meet the eye test and then some Watching Bama against Auburn, Texas looked better this weekend

If I just looked at the last game, Texas would be at the top of my list. They look like they can beat anyone right now. Michigan is next, then UGA, then Washington, Oregon, Ohio State. FSU has a great resume. They need to win against Louisville and their offense needs to be smooth throughout...

He didn’t use RUN defense. He used TOTAL defense. They aren’t the same thing. I never said our defense was good, or that our run defense was good. I clearly wrote that overall defense was bad. I didn’t say anything about our pass rush. If you’d like to insert things into the conversation that...

Don’t use total defense for that kind of comparison. We played some of the best offenses in football, while a lot of other teams had schedules built around some of the weakest. As of last week, we’re 81st in FEI (we could look at other opponent adjusted defensive ratings)...

After a long time showing other teams, one of our plays made the Beautiful Plays list: Post in thread 'Beautiful plays' https://gtswarm.com/threads/beautiful-plays.23801/post-978421
