A theory about our offense

Very interested to see your reactions to this theory...

Maybe the difference between Georgia's offense stuck in the mud vs Georgia's offense really clicking is an injured Earnest Greene working as hard as he can to hold on vs sitting him down and giving a healthy Freeling his shot.

This is NOT a shot at Greene. He's clearly nowhere near 100%. But with a healthy LT last night, Tennessee never bothered Beck. Which made Beck much more confident. Which helped the downfield passing game click.

DL Shift Question

Can anyone please explain to me how our DL shifts are not illegal and if possible link/copy paste the current rule?

My wife and I were at a charity related dinner last night and at the table behind us were a number of Texas fans, all of which I am on a text thread with. My back was to them, but eavesdropping as their table began ranting non-stop about how our DL shifts are illegal (that cause the falls starts). Additionally, they mentioned a recent CFB rule change created to stop it and Kirby from doing this, how it is now black and white and we abuse it but never get called for it. I didn’t catch all of it but that is the gist of it.

I know enough to know they are wrong, or it clearly would be something every coach we beat would whine about. For example, during Heupel’s/Bobby Hill postgame interview and he got into whining about anything he could, he didn’t mention it.

However, I don’t know the exact rule, or the aforementioned rule change, or what color if any is maybe needed as to how one might misinterpret it, etc. BUT, hopefully with the help from a few of my bulldog brothers or sisters on here, I will be equipped enough to go ahead and bait those UT fans from last night on an existing text thread into making those statements they made last night, and then bury them with a single text that cuts their legs and ego out from under them on not only how wrong they are regarding that rule but that is so crystal clear they have nowhere to go then immediate humility, which that entire fan base needs more than any other at time, and right now I would greatly appreciate anyone’s help to “make them eat $hit”. Thanks in advance! Go Dawgs

Despite all the hand wringing…

I’d love to see how any of these big 10 teams in top 5 would fare playing 4 top 10 teams (3 on the road). With 2 of their top 3 RBs not taking meaningful snaps all year. Playing two of those top 10 teams with their 4th and 5th string RBs. I’d guess Penn st and Indiana would have a losing record at this point, and Oregon and Ohio st would have 3 losses. Not to mention our hobbled OL. We’re much better than we get credit for.

Chat GPT Ranks the top-15 (by using a transparent & objective formula)

Logic & Formulas:

1. Win-Loss Record (25% weighting)
  • Importance: A team’s overall performance, measured by wins and losses, is the first and most fundamental indicator.
  • Why: It reflects how well a team has performed across the season.
  • Formula: Wins / Total Games Played

2. Strength of Schedule (30% weighting)
  • Importance: The difficulty of a team’s schedule directly impacts the evaluation of their performance. A team with a strong record but an easy schedule might not be as strong as a team with more losses but a tougher schedule.
  • Why: Teams that face more ranked or competitive opponents are tested more rigorously, which should be factored into their ranking.
  • Formula: Sum of Opponents' Wins / Number of Games

3. Score Differential (20% weighting)
  • Importance: This metric accounts for how dominant or resilient a team is. A team that wins by large margins is generally stronger than one that wins by a narrow margin.
  • Why: A higher score differential can indicate a team’s ability to perform against both weaker and stronger opponents.
  • Formula: Total Points Scored - Total Points Allowed / Games Played

4. Record Against Common Opponents (25% weighting)
  • Importance: This metric ensures teams that have faced the same opponents can be compared head-to-head.
  • Why: It provides insight into how teams stack up against similar competition, excluding outliers in the schedule.
  • Formula: Games Won vs. Common Opponents / Total Common Opponents

Composite Score Calculation
To calculate an overall score for each team, the four factors would be weighted as follows:

Composite Score = (0.25 X Win-Loss Rank) + (0.30 X Strength of Schedule) + (0.20 X Score Differential) + (0.25 X Record Against Common Opponents)

Each team’s composite score would be calculated, and teams would be ranked from highest to lowest composite score.

Rankings:
  1. Oregon (11-0)
  2. Ohio State (9-1)
  3. Texas (9-1)
  4. Penn State (9-1)
  5. Indiana (10-0)
  6. Georgia (8-2)
  7. Notre Dame (9-1)
  8. Alabama (8-2)
  9. Ole Miss (8-2)
  10. Tennessee (8-2)
  11. Miami (FL) (9-1)
  12. Boise State (9-1)
  13. SMU (9-1)
  14. BYU (9-1)
  15. Texas A&M (8-2)
