UGA has done that pre-snap shift for years. I can understand noise being a factor for the OL, but Elarbee should have had them ready for that shift. I think it was more the noise than the shift.
It doesn't seem like it would be easy, and I guess would depend on how much you trust your center (and the other players on offense to only move when the ball is snapped), but I've seen it suggested that the center should snap the ball immediately when they initiate that shift...it might give the OL a split second jump start on their assignments while the DL are finishing their movement. Seems like a decent idea in theory.
 
No way in hell do I believe they got louder than Neyland Stadium. Neyland holds several thousand more people. And the acoustics in Sanford aren't THAT good. I have no doubt they got loud, but I'm not buying they surpassed us. Somebody check the seismic meter to see if they caused a small earthquake.

I'm not buying it.

Rain and wind would've added to the noise. But honestly, it doesn't matter. Sanford tends to be a mausoleum compared to other stadiums. However, Ainge ran his mouth a ton while Kirby was passing out fliers and the committee ranks us in the top spot - perfect storm for any fanbase to get loud. UGA fans have always been loud and obnoxious (even when they had no reason to be) but this year they got loud enough for it be heard despite Sanford being a pretty mediocre venue most days.
 
I don't disagree, but I think Heupel is looking for more than talent. The bigger question is if the coaches think his attitude fits this culture and this locker room. I don't see this staff pursuing guys they don't feel fit the culture.
Do you know if he has batt attitude problems?

I do hate that the Scarlett O'Hara yard barkers and their team showed up and showed out with the recruit list that was there. A lot of blue chips on that visitor list. I'd take our coaching staff over theirs but going to be competing against top talent there for a long time.
Recruits don't make decisions over 1 game lol.

That is pure fan theory that every recruiting expert has laughed at for years.

Fwiw environment and experience does matter. Who wins does not though. That is the fan myth.
 
Dusty and Danny just talking about this exact scenario, and said in no way would LSU get in over UT. IF, and they emphasized IF, the committee took into account conference titles, it would be possible, but this committee looks at entire resume, and 1 loss UT hammered 2 loss LSU at home.
Hope so but VQ had some expert-y guy on from ON3 and he said they would. Then Brent and someone else basically agreed with him, but it felt forced. The "expert" originally said "LSU as a 1-loss team from week 1 and SEC champion is what UT fans should worry about". Brent literally had to remind him they were a 2 loss team...to us 😅🤣 and he left out the absolute a** whooping it was. Smh. But then Brent said yeah...8 straight wins...can't leave them out 🤔😒

I don't buy it but god who knows.

Making the playoffs will help us even more. "Playoff team" status is f'real.

Hey guys. I put together my own pseudo-rankings-calculator today. With the way I did the rankings, Tennessee shows #4 over #5 TCU when looking at the following metrics:
  • 1.5x your winning percentage
  • 0.33x your offensive point average (#1 gets 0.33, 0 points gets 0 points)
  • 0.33x your defensive point average (#1 gets 0.33, 0 points gets 0 points)
  • SOS+ (Strength of schedule minus wins/losses you caused)
Here's my top 35, and the current AP poll ranking next to them. What other valuable metrics should I take into account to (as accurately as possible) estimate where everyone should be ranked? I know Opponent's Strength of Schedule (OSOS) will help with a some of that. A Sun Belt team only plays Sun Belt Teams. Looks like my metric disagrees pretty heavily on Texas, Notre Dame, Coastal Carolina, LSU.

P.S. I'm no @ChattaTNVol, but wanted to have my own data set to mess with.
