re: Feel pretty good about offense going into next year..
Posted by RussIX on 11/23/20 at 9:48 am
Not seeing many people discuss this as a real possibility yet... but it feels like there's a reasonably strong chance Daniels declares for the draft.
[u]Arguments for: [/u]
- He already decided to cut his high school career short and graduate early, so may be more likely than most to do the same in college
-Even if he only plays the two more regularly-scheduled season games, if he plays at anywhere close to the level he did this weekend, its probably good enough for a high draft grade
- He seems like a smart guy. He has to realize the risk he's taking by hanging around for another year (another injury could substantially harm his draft stock)
- Potentially increased competition next year with Vandagriff, who looks strong. Kirby & Co. have shown a persistent preference for pretty much every QB on the roster over Daniels.
Arguments against:
- Hasn't really achieved anything real (championships, tittles, etc.) at the collegiate level
- Middling performance in his one season at USC (albeit as an 18 year old)
- Hasn't gotten to showcase his ability against a true top-tier SEC defense, and he wont have the opportunity to this year given the remaining schedule

No excuse for not playing JT or Dwan now. Its 2020, not 2012. We can't expect to win against top tier without ability to score 40+.
Stetson is a beast but LOL he's like a full 6-12 inches shorter than the line, just doesn't make any sense. WTF are we doing

re: Current system
Posted by RussIX on 12/3/17 at 10:21 am
Know that has been discussed ad nauseum by the talking heads, but it really comes down to whether you want to be more likely to crown the most deserving team or the best team. I think the current system does a pretty good job of balancing both but probably skews towards “best team” (See Ohio State getting in last year)
A larger playoff helps you be more confident that the most deserving team is crowned. A team that repeatedly beats others in a single elimination format is by definition “deserving”. And matching up only conference champs makes the conference championship games into a de facto first round of the playoff. But is “most deserving” really what we want?
For example, Alabama is the best team right now, and would be favored over anyone (maybe pickem with Clemson). Losing to auburn didn’t change this. Not making the sec championship didnt chance this. The current system acknowledges this and gives them a good shot of getting in. They’d probably be a lock if FSU wasn’t a horrible disappointment.
The current system could have acknowledged that UGA was among the best in 2012 and many other years and given us a shot despite not winning SEC. I like the weighting and flexibility of putting in “best” teams that may not be as deserving.
Separate argument on how you define “deserving” anyway. You could argue Alabama is deserving due to all the effort and results they get from recruiting.

Can anyone point to an example of another player (high profile or otherwise) who has done something like that? Dropping all classes, Leaving mid season, to save a year of having to sit out?
re: Clinching the SEC East in record time
Posted by RussIX on 10/19/17 at 4:17 pm
Interesting.. can’t remember another year where it was clinched that early, but haven’t gone back to check.
Definitely possible given that Kentucky will probably be underdog in next two games (maybe Pickem with Tenn?) while i’d assume SC will be favored over Vandy but maybe not by much.

I think LSU is footing the premiums on a $10mil loss of vale policy and a $10mil disability for him right? He'll likely make much more in NFL career, but for all intents and purposes he has already "made it" even if he pulls a Lattimore

I think a huge part of it, and what a lot of people are missing, is that Alabama's champ % is being effected by their schedule strength. (I.e. They have to play Tennessee, who is highly regarded by FPI) I'd guess FPI assumes there is a higher likelihood of them losing that game than of lsu losing to UF and Mizzou.

Are you sure 302 is UNC side? Kinda looks like that would be UGA side based on map on stub hub, but could be wrong
