You keep repeating this as if you are arguing with someone who doesn't think our defense was bad last year. I'm not sure which poster you think that is.

Thanks again for the insight. I see now that the Pick6 tweet stated yards/play - I should have read it more closely. Although, oddly, their rank is 5 places higher than the stat you provided. Hmmm. Agree that yards/play can tell a lot about both offense and defense but without the context of...

Your arrangement isn't a bad deal for what you are getting. I'm thinking of going this route as well since my DirecTV has been seeing regular price increases of late. How many GT games are on ESPN+? As FYI, I pay only $65 for ATT 1gig fiber, after a $5 increase last Aug. It's not a...

We were able to employ BF relatively cheaply for a P5 OC because he had no prior P5 coordinator experience and was only a QC assistant at uga. You could say Key took a chance on BF and it paid off.

I see an analogy here with how the IRS defines an employee vs. an independent contractor. Most state laws are similar. An individual is an independent contractor if the payer has the right to control or direct only the result of the work and not what will be done and how it will be done...

Thanks for the additional data. A few questions come to mind. First, if a team has an efficient and explosive offense that is also somewhat turnover-prone, wouldn't that stress their defense by putting it on the field more? Is there a stat that ranks the number of opponent drives? Also...

There is a small difference in $60M plus being in court for several years when you have only 2 years left on a media contract, and 12 years left plus potentially nearly $600M. The two scenarios are nowhere near alike.

I don't want to engage you in another argument over whether basic stats are more meaningful than advanced stats, but I'll ask @slugboy to chime in to see if he can share his thoughts on where our defense should rank. But since this discussion is about objective rankings, I'm ignoring the...

This, while it has been forecasted, is a seismic shift. This probably belongs in another thread or a thread of its own.

You may be correct about the conference rescheduling, but again, what's to stop us from say, playing an OOC home and home with FSU in 2026/27, knowing that all the media revenue goes to the ACC regardless, and we would receive a share of ACC revenue for an OOC game? Miami is currently...

Pretty sure you're responding to a typically hyperbolic statement made by @SOWEGA Jacket to emphasize his point. If he is actually serious, then his demeanor has certainly changed from prior posts. :)

When we left the SEC we continued to play an SEC schedule, or close to one, for several years. Conceivably that type of situation would be where FSU finds itself if they left before the GOR expiration. They just wouldn't receive any revenue distribution from the ACC. This would still work in...

All post-season revenue including CFP was included in the Media Rights numbers I cited. But I checked other sources and you are correct that FSU's expenses and revenue increased in their last fiscal year. Your point about declining revenue in the event of a loss of conference affiliation has...

I don't have access to some of the advanced stats, but used ESPN's Defensive Efficiency rank (74th), and Defensive FEI (76th). If 100th is a better representation of where we should rank, then I hope we can move up to 75th. Which ranking had us at 100?

I'm going to join the others who have responded that the GOR doesn't legally block FSU from leaving, although it does present some significant financial consequences should they choose to do so. The consequences don't have to be black or white here, such as shutting down their athletic...

Like you said earlier, moving up significantly from a top 30 Offense can be more difficult than getting to top 30 from bottom 30. Frankly, I'd be ok even if our offense stays about the same rankings-wise, if we make significant improvements in the other two phases of the game. Doing that might...

That's a fair response, and the qualifier is that you were planning the trip regardless of the game. I was directing my comment (and strictly personal opinion) on those who seem to have chosen to travel because of the game, but are now having second thoughts due to the ticket prices.

I think the tickets are relatively expensive. That said, is anyone who chose to go on a vaca to Ireland because of the game, now having second thoughts about purchasing tickets? If so, are you considering the trip cost holistically, with the game as part of the overall experience? I expect for...

Agree with your take. With the stakes this high, you would expect a competent entity embarking on this process to have a well-thought-out plan that included either advance commitments or high-probability events occurring. There is no evidence of any of this. FSU is acting like they are still...

This is correct. One only has to examine population demographics to see what is happening to the college-age cohort.
