Coastal Chaos

[ibeattetris]

Coming up with our chances be like

If Pitt loses all three of their games

I think this is very unlikely...but Pitt still has to lose two of three either way...which is less unlikely since they play VT and Miami.

In all honesty though, we needed Duke to beat Pitt for the best shot. It's going to be tough now

All GT can do is concentrate on beating Miami,then Virginia and then UGAG If GT accomplishes that it will be a fine season even if GT doesn't win the ACC Coastal Division

this is true...one of the things that makes a good season imo is the trend line. IF we were to win out, this would have a 1989,2014 feel to it. I just enjoy ending strong. The year ('09?) we lost 3iar (including a bowl) to end the season left a sour taste to that year. IF we were to win out, the bowl result is of no consequence really but I would enjoy the fact that the kids and coaches were rewarded when a lot of the fan base (myself included tbh) were very skeptical in September. As CPJ has said, respect is earned and they have made a good showing after the rocky start so far. I am hopeful that we finish strong.Go Jackets!

If GT wins out i think they play Tennessee,Auburn or Texas A&M in the Music City Bowl If GT accomplishes this it will remind me of 1984 also

What's tragic is that this should've been a year where we win the damn Coastal. It's the worst Coastal in memory. The normally-decent teams are terrible (Miami, CPI), Duke is avg. at best, and PITT and UVA are nothing special either. UNC continues to be irrelevant.

With a Sr. QB and the experience we returned on the OL and in the backfield, we should be winning the Coastal instead of talking about these miracle scenarios. We had a cupcake schedule in a crappy conference.

I agree with most of this except the fact that we have a cupcake schedule. Although VT and Miami are having down years they still have more talent than us and are still really good on at least on side of the ball. We also play UGA and Clemson who currently have a combined 1 loss. When it’s all said and done we will probably have played 9 teams who are bowl eligible. There many other schedules I’d rather have than ours.

Its crazy how close the Coastal Division is. Not only do we still have a measurable chance to win the Coastal, we also have a measurable chance to finish tied for last. Crazy.

I would also argue with the statement that the Coastal is full of terrible teams. That is not true by any objective analysis in my opinion.
Average of FEI/S&P+ Rankings:
Miami: 28
Duke: #31
Virginia: #51
Georgia Tech: #52
Pittsburgh: #61
Virginia Tech: #63

Now definitely I would say that's not great. But I think a more objective analysis is that we have a bunch of average teams. Nobody is great, but even last place North Carolina has been in almost every single game with 5 minutes left. And that last placed team is the only one who has beat the first place team. The other teams Pitt has lost to are all ranked with a combined record of 23-3.

6 of the 7 Coastal Division teams will probably go to a bowl game. I don't think that's terrible. I think that's average to maybe slightly above average.

I’m just gonna go with the SEC answer, we are all so good we are just beating up on each other.

The ACC Coastal Division reminds me of the SEC West before Nick Satan went to Alabama

Proof that the ACC is full of Bag Men. I'm sure we'll be hearing from the NCAA on this shortly...

A subtlety - if you listen closely when Qua is running, you can hear the 'chink, chink, chink' of the coins in that bag LOLOLOL

 

[tech_wreck47]

For those who care, you can watch WF tonight to see how their backup QB does. Hopefully they win and take the momentum into the game against Pitt. I also like that they get a little extra rest before playing Pitt. Imo they need to run the ball to beat Pitt and that goes for VT and Miami as well.

If you guys would direct all the mental energy put into this thread toward Elon Musk’s problems instead....there would be a hyperloop circling the globe and manned colonies on Mars.

Tesla would still be a joke....some things just aren’t worth pursuing.

Stop using facts and logic damnit! Don’t you know only unsupported emotional venting is allowed???

Should use F+ which is how football outsiders actually combines the two metrics (not a big deal just an fyi).

It’s that weak Atlantic Division. We’re something like 15-1 against the rotating Atlantic opponent.

Weak Forest is nothing since their QB went down last week

Back to back amazing catches and Wake is back in the game. 16-13
