Bill Connelly is a big stats guy who did a pretty good job predicting the early performance of teams last year with his 2019 preseason rankings. He recently released his 2020 preseason rankings based on his algorithm. He has us ranked 58th overall, but what's most interesting to me is he ranked...

Incredible gift. Read the article here: https://ramblinwreck.com/anonymous-donor-commits-10-million-for-edge-center-renovation-challenge/

I know that the loss yesterday still stings, but I think it's worth looking at it from a different perspective. Below I'll list a couple coaches' first seasons with new teams and some notable games. Nick Saban @ LSU (2000): Lost to UAB 10-13 on Homecoming - a Conference USA team that finished...

Someone has probably already posted about this, but I couldn't remember the last time we won a game with two scores or less (less than or equal to 14 points) and I did a little digging. The last time this happened was against Gardner-Webb in 2008 season with a score of 10-7. Then the last time...

247 maintains a total team talent ranking based on their composite ratings each year. I saw that with the start of the 2019 season, they updated their rankings a couple days ago. While ratings aren't perfect, I think when you start aggregating entire rosters you get a clearer picture of the team...

Athlon compiles anonymous quotes from ACC coaches about other teams. Keep in mind that "coach" is a pretty broad term and Athlon can decide which comments to include to paint certain pictures. Still interesting though...

Ordinarily I'd post this in the Swarm Lounge (and mods are free to move it there), but I thought this season of Last Chance U released today is actually relevant because it features Jay Jones at QB. For those unaware, Last Chance U is a Netflix documentary show where they follow a JUCO team...

247 printed their new article on the top 20 college football facilities. Spoiler: GT does not make the cut. However, I think we have a chance at breaking into the rankings once we complete the fundraising/construction for the new Edge Center and weight room. It's interesting to see how much some...

I didn't see an official Coaching Carousel thread. Maybe we can migrate other threads to this one to keep discussion contained. Today Les Miles was hired by Kansas and Mike MacIntyre was fired from Colorado. Any thoughts on potential other openings? Coaches who might move?

Football Outsiders released their first Fremeau Efficiency Index (FEI) offensive, defensive, and special teams rankings today. For anyone who doesn't know, FEI is a pretty reliable set of ratings/rankings for teams that does its best to clean up and normalize all of the data. This means things...

I didn't see a thread for this, so I'm sorry if this has already popped up elsewhere. For those who don't know, Football Outsiders releases rankings of teams offense, defense, and overall performance each year which have seemed to prove pretty reliable. However, they wait until after the 7th...

I saw this post on Reddit and thought you guys might like the read. He talks about the academic requirements at GT and actually argues it's not really a big deal (and backs it up well). However, he does touch on how having limited scholarships really hurts us. His main argument goes to branding...

I am sure some of these stats have been posted elsewhere, but I thought maybe I could create a thread to encourage discussion. For those who don't know, Football Outsiders is a website that runs a program that tries to computationally evaluate the efficiency of teams in all phases of the game...

GT one of six teams without a member on the preseason All-ACC team. Not that it matters, but I hope we embarrass some voters. http://www.theacc.com/news/2016-all-acc-preseason-football-team-announced-07-27-2016 Players receiving votes: RB - Marcus Marshall (1) Center - Freddie Burden (10) DE -...

Just thought this might be interesting to look into. He's a freshman QB who is reportedly going to transfer out of Texas A&M. Maybe not totally likely since he's easily their best QB prospect, but if he does he'd seem like he'd be great for our system. 5'10, 185 lbs, and runs a sub 4.4s 40. Who...

Cool video on Lance and Lawrence and their experience in recruiting as well as playing these last two years.

The ACC Digital Network just released a video listing who they think have been the top 4 QB's for Georgia Tech. Do you agree with the list?

Rising sophomore QB out of FSU. Apparently this guy is an All-ACC track standout. Right up there with JT for fastest QB in the country. You think we'd be interested in trying to get him to transfer here...

I just thought this was interesting. A non-American searching for a favorite team asked the college football subreddit what they think is the most exciting offense to watch. I walked in fully expecting to see Baylor, TCU, Oregon, etc. as the top answers. While they are mentioned, there's an...
