Sorry, I went and found the exact quote, it was at about 2hr 14min mark ~14 min left in the game, right after Showell got called for a penalty. I just thought it was funny the way it came out as the guy was clearly just filling air: Great meeting with Coach Collins yesterday in his office...

I wish I could remember exactly when it was in the broadcast and the exact quote, but one of the announcers had a perfect response to the OP. He said something like, "Coach Collins talks about this being a monumental transformation ... Georgia Tech was a bowl team last year ... ... ... "

My ppdvpwr5 stat is similar. Of the 71 teams playing at least 3 pwr5 teams, their D is #18, and their O is #59 (ours is #54).

Yes

I guess my posts were TLDR.

My method just uses the raw team stats from cfbstats.com. So, I don't look at individual games in calculating my stat.

I answered the question of why points/drive rather than points in my previous post as well as its relationship to the final score and to special teams. For example, while yards/play is not a terrible estimate of offensive efficiency, ppd is better because it includes whether or not you have a...

No worries. I don't want to drag this out, but let me just say a couple more things. 1) I don't understand how you distinguish between "a legitimate ranking system" and a ranking of "team strength." As I see it, as soon as you incorporate strength of schedule you're ranking something other...

Pollster's taking SOS into account is clear from the inclusion of App St, Boise St, and Memphis. Seriously though, no ranking system is perfect because sports' teams are not static entities. Two teams will not have the exact same result even if they play each other successively. Even with the...

Is there video for any of our exhibitions?

Rather than starting a new thread, I thought I'd add my PPDvPwr5 data. As of this week, our OffPPDvPwr5 is 1.60, and our DefPPDvPwr5 is 2.96. For the 71 teams who have played at least 3 Pwr5 opponents, the average OffPPDvPwr5 is 2.12, and we are ranked 54 of 71. The average DefPPDvPwr5 for...

I appreciate what you are saying; however, you are not responding to my post. I did not say "when people are blaming talent." I said, "when people only allow blaming our players." There are some who resist any questioning of our coaching at all or any suggestion that coaching, including...

When people only allow blaming our players and their lack of talent for our other losses, they are suggesting that talent was also at fault against the Citadel. In other words, if talent was not the explanation for the Citadel loss, then something else was. That something else would also...

I don't want to read your mind. Could you explain your point? Let me be clear. I think that most people looking at the 2015 season of South Carolina, where the Ol' Ball Coach retires after starting 2-4 and the OL coach Shawn Elliot takes over losing the last 5 games have tended to...

I don't have anything to respond to your question. However, I think it is a really important question. Mike London had a really solid resume imo. I thought he was an excellent hire. I watched his recruiting classes look really solid. Yet, he could not get the wins which I had expected...

I took your post as sarcasm because CGC took over a team that was 5-3 in the ACC (2nd in the Coastal), a team that played in a bowl game. That's nothing like the team CBR inherited. Now, if your point is that a coach can go from a win-less conference record to a National Championship, I agree...

The Citadel 2019 has already lost more games than that 2015 team that went to the FCS playoffs.

I used to teach at a university. I got sick of hearing from kids who wanted credit for time and effort. I think the GT culture of the 80's had a point about the value of results. Praising "playing hard" and "being bought in" has meaning when it ends in results--which I still hope it will. Go...

THIS!!!!! (without the emoji)

I haven't read the rest of this thread, but I think the answer is, "Yes." As I've read your posts over the last several years I have found each and every one of them to be a personal attack against yourself. (... as others have read my posts against me ...:unsure:)
