I will continue yelling this to whoever will listen.
We have to stop with this “best team” nonsense. Who did you beat and who did you lose to. That should be the focus. Everything else should only matter for sorting teams with comparable resumes.
The quality of your wins and losses should mean more than efficiency margins and logos.
Predictive metrics have their place, but resume should be more important.
Game-by-game values for teams 1-15 in the resume rankings illustrate the point 👇

I’m not saying this stuff doesn’t matter at all, but in the new expanded era I don’t really care what teams do to mediocre and bad teams as long as they win. In order, I care about (1) beating good teams and (2) not losing to bad teams. Those should be the polestars.
Committee paid attention to details like Alabama beating Mississippi State with Kamario Taylor in Starkville by 33 points while LSU beat State without its quarterback in Baton Rouge by 31.

Maybe. But you know who is definitely top-5 with this resume? Any team that was pre-season ranked top-10. Rankings shouldn’t be a horse race based on people’s pre-season guesses. It always still somehow matters in November when it shouldn’t have even mattered in September.

It’s funny because you could argue in either direction. The scores were closer the last couple years but they probably wouldn’t have been if not for Georgia mistakes. This year was a blowout but it probably wouldn’t have been if not for UF mistakes. Ls are Ls though unfortunately

Both could be unranked and you’d get zero argument from me. But what do the 2-loss teams they’re ranked over have on their resume besides one fewer loss? Have they actually beat anybody with a pulse? Because those teams have.
we have officially reached the time of the season where 3 loss South Carolina and Florida are ranked for no reason

Like the previous tweet, I can’t believe we traded actual football for a running clock to speed up pace of play and all we got was more commercials and longer breaks.
College football really misses the mark on keeping the energy throughout a game. Constant 3 1/2 minute breaks absolutely kills any environment a game can muster. Asking fans to constantly ramp up their energy is so tiring. Hard to believe how far this sport has fallen

This is as big of a problem as the chaos. Unlike the MLB pitch clock, we lessened the actual amount of football played in a game. All they did with it is boost profits by adding more commercials. Worst trade ever.
ESPN quietly rolling out 3:51pm ET kickoffs for the 3:30 window. We fixed the clock rules to give us three quarters worth of gameplay in four, and now we’re actually kicking off games later than we ever have

Makes me wonder if they might go into next year with Jones and the young guys and spend that money to overhaul the LOS. It can work but you can’t get overhauling the LOS wrong.
Jon Sumrall:
"My biggest concern right now is the people around the quarterback ... If we don't get better on the offensive line, tight end, running back or receiver, our quarterback has no shot."

Our strategy in the offseason was clearly to lean on the returning talent and supplement it with portal depth. The returning talent has not lived up to expectations and is often being out-performed by the portal depth adds. That’s a big reason things are how they are.
Florida Gators highest-graded offensive players vs the Georgia Bulldogs per PFF (10 snaps minimum):
TE Amir Jackson - 77.3
WR Bailey Stockton - 72.1
TE Luke Harpring - 68.3
TE Lacota Dippre - 67.6
HB Jadan Baugh - 64.8
RG TJ Shanahan - 64.3
WR Dallas Wilson - 60.6
C Harrison Moore - 60.4
RT Emeka Ugorji - 59.0
WR Kahleil Jackson - 58.4

People are crazy for saying that things are no better than they were under Napier. I’m still very skeptical of Sumrall and both coordinators but the chances are higher that Napier is 2-6 than 5-3.

I have no delusions about who the better team is in this game. But it’s frustrating that we aren’t even making Georgia beat us. We’d be losing to Southeast Rutgers tech by this same scoreline. It’s 100% self-inflicted.

Georgia is better than us but we’re kicking our own ass. Georgia has barely had to do anything.

Part of me wants to say we’ve made too massive mental mistakes in the first quarter and are only down 7. The other part doesn’t have enough faith those are the last 2.

Yeah if Philo’s going to make that kind of mistake and you’re going to rough the punter we have no chance.
