[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 257258, member: 322"] You left off the most important ranking - special teams :D GT is 26th. (We were 31st last year.) If we can replace Butker with an equally accurate FG kicker, we should be as good or better next year. (Butker isn't that accurate on a percentage basis compared to others.) But to your point, I understand why you like head to head competitions to decide who is better. But a ranking like this can only rank who is better on average on a neutral field. You recognize this when you point out that in the Pitt/GT area, we'd probably win 5 of 10. So just because Pitt won the game, it doesn't follow that Pitt would win the next 9 games (as you said). As to VT being so low in offense, I think it is because they have had so many turnovers - they have had 14 turnovers on O which is tied for 113-120th in D1. You can't move the ball efficiently when you are always turning it over. Of course, the VT D has been good at getting the ball back 13 times ....... [URL]http://www.cfbstats.com/2016/leader/national/team/offense/split01/category12/sort04.html[/URL] For me, the bottom line is that GT has been a middling team overall. And in the middle, any win becomes tough. [/QUOTE]
