    Also on the bright side, Notre Dame looks overrated and beatable.

    Even the refs can't overcome 5 interceptions turnovers.

    2024 non-GT games thread

    Looks like the fix is in. Can't let SEC get beat by a middling ACC team.

    Analytics in Coaching

    It appears that we have gone from "awful", egregious", or "colossal mistake", to simply "not being optimal". That's progress, folks.

    Syracuse Post Game

    I tried to find where the analytics chart showed time left in the game and timeouts remaining, but couldn't find it. ;)

    Syracuse Post Game

    Notable stats: King had a higher completion % (74) than McCord (70). One key difference was that King's short passes to the flat usually resulted in a 3-4 yard gain, while McCords's were usually an 8-yard gain or better. Give Syracuse credit for being ready for us more than we were ready for...

    Analytics in Coaching

    We’re arguing over marginal percentages in decision outcomes and calling the difference “egregious” and “colossal”. Y’all need to work on your superlatives. I suggest “Epic”.

    Tickets to the Bad Boys Mowers Campbell Soup Bowl?

    TFG set the bar much lower. Once you set high expectations, a loss is more painful.

    Syracuse Post Game

    Your alternative plan is so full of assumptions I don’t know where to start. My point is that all alternative plans or decisions resulted in a low probability of a win for us. We were outplayed on both sides of the ball most of the game. Credit to our special teams and Haynes King that we made...

    Syracuse Post Game

    Your plan has "colossal" flaws too.

    Doing a free trial with YouTube TV now, after switching from DirecTV. Will probably stay with YouTube @ $73/mon for basically same lineup as DirecTV which was $114/mon.

    Chad was listed as a walk-on for his freshman year (2023). Not sure if he has been awarded a scholarship yet, but he looks capable of earning one. Smart kid, had multiple Ivy League offers but chose Tech after originally committing to Army.

    Thoughts on Syracuse

    I want to echo @BCJacket's and @SidewalkJacket's points about Cuse's bad tackling, and our speed on offense. Not a good combination if you are a Syracuse fan. I also watched the condensed game and thought their tacking was worse than ours in the BG game last year (if that is even possible). I...

    Perhaps you misunderstood. The new rule requires the info to be made public within a certain time before each game.

    If you have a better rationale for the injury reports, I'm listening.

    I don’t think that this is about the SEC/B1G getting more eyeballs. From what I have read, they are simply trying to squash the distractions stemming from bettors/oddsmakers trying to get insider info.

    AP Ranking

    I agree – early rankings are very much influenced by absolute W/L record, and teams that schedule a bunch of cupcakes on the front end have a good shot at breaking into the rankings even if they aren’t very good. Obviously we don’t do that, thus our streak.

    AP Ranking

    Yep. When a ranking system starts with no pre-loaded W/L data, it can yield pretty crazy results for a few weeks. For the conspiracy theorists out there, this poll did not have FSU as a playoff team last year when they were 13-0. Some of the links to the archival data are broken or I would...

    The ACC did this for a while a few years back, then dropped the requirement.

    AP Ranking

    Read in The Athletic that, until yesterday, Tech held 3rd place for the longest unranked streak in the Power 4 - behind only Rutgers and Vandy. Edit: This seems implausible, but I'm not going to do the research to confirm it.
