We could lose a bunch of guys if Coach decides to move on. Good potential problem to have though. 

Appreciate the response, but I refuse to have that conversation right now lol

There’s no shortage of opportunities to poke holes in the net system (no pun intended). 
 

I genuinely don’t understand how we are below some of these teams. Look at St. Bonaventure for an example.

Q1: 0-4 (USF 1-0) 

Q2: 2-2 (USF 5-3) 

Q3: 8-2 (USF 8-0) 

Q4: 8-2 (USF 9-2) 

How do you operate an entire sport on a made up “NET” system, and the the meat and potatoes of it contradict itself in the rankings? 

How in the year 2024 have we somehow made a WORSE BCS system? 

Not to expedite the offseason talk, but am I understanding this correctly that we only expect to lose 3 players this offseason - Selton, Placer and Hines? 

Georgia going to beat Ole Miss. A big loss for a bubble team 

Someone needs to give Brandon Stroud the red light. Kid can’t shoot lol

it's the way all successful sports organizations are run now. they all have analytics departments. even nfl teams.

nobody goes by their gut instincts anymore.

I’m very aware. Pounding the table that analytics are important, useful, and even critical to a functioning sports organization today isn’t the conversation we’re having. We’re discussing whether or not to blindly use %’s in game theory. 

I’m very pro-analytics, especially when it comes to roster construction in baseball.

But game theory isn’t a perfect science, especially not at the lower collegiate level where there’s more variables than the pro game. 

Example - a lot of these generic game theory models would tell you to go for it on 4th and 1 whether you’re facing Navy or the New England Patriots. Surely we can agree there’s matchups and factors that need to be considered in these potential different circumstances, correct?

Thus, why you don’t blindly trust the numbers

note: I say “lower” in terms of a relatively bad football team that doesn’t execute at the level of a professional team.

if you don't follow them "blindly" then you are just using your gut.

the rays follow analytics "blindly". seems to be working out ok for them.

Using a baseball teams approach to justify your opinion on football game theory is a wild take lol.

No, I don't believe they are sacred or just because a prediction model says you should do it that you should.  

I just think the reasoning to "be aggressive" is not enough. That argument was silly to me.

This is the correct take. Blindly following the analytics is just as bad as blindly opposing them. They’re a tool that should be used accordingly

He wouldn't be as yippy and tight, but may not be available.  Is he even dressed?

If he is, we need to make the move. Byrum simply isn’t ready for this type of game 

Have to think going to Bohannon has to be a thought here 

Not at least throwing the ball there on 4th down is an inexcusable mistake by a QB at this level

That was certainly a collective decision by HC/QB 

Holy cow we finally hit one

If Alabama loses tonight they are gonna be pissed. They will hang 100 on us 

Let’s be honest, they’re going to do that either way

We’re getting out coached by Willie Simmons. That is all

I’m pointing out the obvious. Maybe you should no **** and say it then and stop making it sound like the golden spoon.

Stop making what sound like the golden spoon? I never even endorsed the **** thing lol. I provided a devils advocate to Lanes comments. Put down the bourbon 

Just now, puc86 said:

The issue is it’s not a fix at all 

You realize I never said it was, correct? Heck, I never even endorsed it. Simply provided the argument for it 

This team is full of bad football players

How many fans want to watch games like this one? How many fans want to watch teams worst than FAMU? That stadium can’t fix everything.

Uh, no ****? I didn’t say it was a fix all

If you have money for everything then by all means build away but if you have to be judicious in your spending facilities are now way less important than people here feel they need to pretend that they are. 
 

“It’s totally changed recruiting,” Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin says of NIL and collectives. “I joke all the time about it: Go ahead and build facilities and these great weight rooms and training rooms, but you ain’t gonna have any good players in them if you don’t have NIL money.”

Think the argument would be building an OCS is fundamental in rebuilding/engaging the fanbase/community which is where the NIL funds will locally come from 

Did this announcer just say Flowers could do that? Get out of here

This offense is so bad lol. 

Bunch of guys running into each other and pray Byrum makes something happen with his legs

We can’t cover anyone

26 year old UCF player to boot!

At least he’ll likely be the first coach fired

We’ve lost the booth
