[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 322114, member: 2299"] And we almost always have a thursday game, which is almost always preceded by a bye week. So no duh we'll probably play a team coming off a bye week every year. I already pointed out that was the bigger issue. There is also the issue that we want the UGA game last, which means we're more likely to play teams coming off bye weeks than teams who play an in conference team last, because teams don't want bye weeks after game 11 usually. Oh look at that VT, who plays a lot of thursday games, and Clemson and FSU, who have last game OOCs every year are all at the top as well. So if we want to continue to play UGA last because of tradition and play on Thursday nights because of exposure, fine, but those two things come at a cost, and that is increased odds of playing teams coming off a bye. And very little is going to change with this rule changes because the rule is no more than one game against a team coming off a bye when we didn't. The rule change would affect this year. It wouldn't affect last year, or 2015, 2014, or 2013. It'd affect 2012 when both UNC and Duke came off byes, and we won both games by 18 points. It wouldn't affect us in 2011, 2010, 2009, or 2008. That's right. The rule change would have impacted exactly one past year under Johnson, and that year we won both games against teams coming off byes that year. Of course, even a passing glance at that graph would show that based on results on the field that this "problem" isn't really a problem. And the "solution" doesn't actually change much. So what exactly did Standbury accomplish? [/QUOTE]
