[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 203065, member: 322"] The good news (tic) is that there have been 5 times in the last 111 where the collapse has been worse than this year’s .292 decrease in Power Ranking. Three were under Alexander (1939 to 40 = -.402; 1933 to 34 = -.331; and 1928 to 29 =-.315) and once under Dodd (1956 to 57 =-.322) and once under Carson following Dodd (1966 to 67 =-.320). CPJ’s 2009 to 10 was just about as bad with a decrease of .277. We had a really tough schedule last year; without a bowl game which increases the SOS, our SOS was .712. But that tough schedule is why our Power Ranking wasn’t even worse. While I agree that an unusual number of injuries last year affected things, sh!t happens and I’m looking at averages. So gifts and excuses tend to average out. So what do I expect this year? For us to do [I]marginally[/I] better. Starting with this year’s Power Stinking of .505, on average we’ll do about .081 better next year. Or end up with a Power Ranking of .586 which is about 63rd with 7 wins (in 13 games). [IMG]https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/a5ae/glgbiawbfcn7gfu6g.jpg[/IMG] As far as long term, I think the challenges for mid-level teams like GT are only going to increase with the continuing move towards a semi-pro level. I support giving stipends and increasing compensation to football players but it will make recruiting the kids who are really majoring in football even harder. [/QUOTE]
