fan duel dropped all but a handful of BXII win totals and here's a look at the Top 40 in talent acq 2022-25 and how many of those top 40 teams each has to play (UF plays 10 of their 12 games vs top 40 in TA)
probably. but 5 or 6 of them will probably win 9+ it's essentially the same schedule as 2024. and in the 2024 regular season they faced 6 teams who won 9+ Texas 13-3 Georgia 11-3 Tennessee 10-3 Ole Miss 10-3 Miami 10-3 LSU 9-4
Hell yeah kill the spring games. Great idea. It wasn't another thing that made cfb unique and helped pique interests for the coming year in a slow sports time of the year. I love all of this
This has gotta be the most anticipated recruit in Nebraska football history. This kind of story makes for message board glory.
for the full Nebraska glory, kid would've been from Beaver Crossing or some place like Palmer where they still play 8 man football
curious if this solidifies Mack at QB and allows DeBoer and Grubbs to run more of what they want (more like Washington 2022-23)
Interested to see if it was Grubbs genius that made that all go or how much of it was Michael Penix just being really fucking good.
Maybe but I wouldn’t have guessed offense or offensive playcalling / design to be their issue last season. It was more so personnel (Milroe) and their defense. No reason to think they will be bad on offense but would like to see Mack throw before I think there is an explosion coming. That Washington team had a shit ton of talent all over.
from Connelly I base SP+ projections on three primary factors, weighted by their predictiveness: 1. Returning production. The returning production numbers are based on rosters I have updated as much as possible to account for transfers and attrition. Combine last year's SP+ ratings and adjustments based on current returning production numbers, and you're pretty far down the projections road. In fact, this factor accounts for more than 60% of the overall projection at this point. 2. Recent recruiting. This piece informs us of the caliber of a team's potential replacements (and/or new stars) in the lineup. It is determined by both the past few years of recruiting rankings and the quality of incoming transfers, and it accounts for about 14% of the current projection. 3. Recent history. Using a chunk of information from previous seasons gives us a good measure of overall program health. It stands to reason that a team that has played well for one year is less likely to duplicate that effort than a team that has been good for years on end (and vice versa), right? This factor accounts for a little more than 20% of the projection, and it focuses only on what happened within the past three seasons. I used to use a weighted history stretching back five years, but that's a less effective approach now with the changes in the sport.
So does he use 247 or On3 for recruiting/transfer ratings or does he have his own for the 11K FBS players?
