Bottom 25

[RamblinRed]

CBSSports has their first one of the season out.
I do not expect to see GT here all here but i'm not surprised to see GT here after game 1.

And people think our OOC schedule is tough - Kent State has Washington, Oklahoma, and Georgia.

but their other nine ought to be a cake walk..... if they have anyone left healthy to play in them.

Clearly he didn't watch the game. The defense did look better than last year and Sims looked better than last year. Lazy reporting.

Well, one team is on there because they got whacked by UGA, another is on there because they got whacked by Clemson and a third is on there for getting whacked by Bama.... if that's the criteria, they will likely have to expand the list.

Perhaps, but his whole argument is that we did nothing that shows that we are better than last year. I think we are better than last year and showed it. Don't know how that will translate to wins, but looks like lazy journalism to me.

Yes. We'll see how accurate the ratings are when we play Ole Miss. That game should tell us a lot. Provided this week doesn't, that is.

Totally agree but this thing is always snarky and condescending. I’m laughing this one off and hoping not to see similar sentiment in legitimate write ups going forward.

Agree! I hope we learn nothing about our team this week!

Some are really bottom 25 teams, like UConn and UMass. Some had a bad week, like Oregon, and got put in for the clicks.

Here's the FEI bottom 25. We're not in there--we're number 93, so we can see the bottom 25 from where we are. Hawaii is in there. Oregon, at number 47, is not. Navy, at number 77, is not. In other rankings, like beta rank, we're number 100, which is scary close.

Out of the 131 teams, we've been in the third quartile under Collins--below average, and in the bottom for the P5, but not at the bottom of FBS. You might say "that's bad", and it ain't good. But it's not UMass.

Here's the latest GTAA Season Ticket sales slogan - ""that's bad", and it ain't good. But it's not UMass."

The only thing we can learn this week is whether the OL has learned not to jump before the snap.

Please pardon if already posted.

Has us 69, fair enough imo, same range/slightly below Nebraska, Stanford, UVA, Louisville, UCF, slightly higher than vpi, Vandy, Duke. Kind of a big guess after week 1 though, isn’t it.

Computers have helped make smart people way more productive.

This , however , is an example of making a stupid piece of work look well presented in hopes of getting clicks and return clicks.

Our first game shows
EITHER
Gt players are way better
or
Clemson Sucks.

Until end of 3rd q our defense played them toe to toe .

 

[CheCha54]

It's telling that we debate whether or not we belong in the bottom 25.

True. But it also wasn’t a very long or interesting debate.

 

[iceeater1969]

The Alabama Qb got 3 million cash from generous fans via their NIL COMBINE. A starter on Alabama OL played at Vanderbilt last year.


Gt engineers refuse to spend past what is the theoretical point of diminishing return (Oh how we loved that part of calculus) even though we are in a competition where that's not a rule.
.
Hope to see more fans at the games.
