Last year I did a post on 111 Years of GT football looking ahead with great anticipation and trying to see how we were likely to end up the year. Of course I was way optimistic. https://gtswarm.com/threads/111-years-of-gt-football.6986/#post-160714
This last year was one of the worst collapses in GT football; not just wins but also Power Ranking. I have done this type study twice before, including the 2013 season, where I talk a lot more about why I like Power Ranking somewhat more than W/L. Basically I like Power Ranking since it takes into account the strength of schedule and where you play your tough games. A Power Ranking of .590 means the team is 59% likely to beat the average team on a neutral field. https://gtswarm.com/threads/70-years-of-gt-football-–-odds-of-getting-a-better-coach-than-cpj.2524/
