There it is

Vanderbilt ain't Vanderbilt this year...a huge amount of idiots still haven't figured that out. Their greatest strength, which is the best player in CFB, a generational freak of nature, was dead aimed right at our greatest weakness, our among sad injury riddled defense, among the worst defenses in CFB. I tried to tell everyone what was coming...but all everyone said was...It's Vandy.

The problem is...that ain't a real.Vandy team, just like Indiana ain't a real Indiana team....both have gotten extremely lucky with evals and LONG term development of really low ranked players who have almost all hit big...along with both programs winning the Portal lottery. Both of those programs are going to fall hard next year when they lose all of those players.
It ain’t luck , it’s good coaching.
Indiana coach had only been there 2 years,
LONG term development?

Just watched Blue Chip Breakdown this morning.
He compared our D and Indianas.

We had 24? Blue chip players on ours , they had 2.
SOS was pretty close.

I’ll guarantee the difference between them and Ohio State was huge in star ⭐️ power.

Yet they got top 10 results with 3 star or less players.
That’s not luck.

We had injuries sure , but I’ll bet we still had more blue chips on the field than they did.
 
Ohio State and Georgia clear favorites.

Oregon kind of in this "could, but can't" tier just below them

Indiana is a fun story but I don't think they can win it all. I think they match up well with OU, TTU, or Oregon out of their side of the bracket. They're all defensive teams, and I think Indiana would have the edge. However, by the time they play UGA or OSU out of the other side of the bracket, with those teams rolling and having confidence, I think talent and depth will show and Indiana will fall short.

Then talented but flawed teams: Alabama, A&M, Oklahoma, Miami

Ole Miss, JMU, Tulane have too much going on right now to think they can do anything. TTU not deep enough, yet.
The Banks news will swallow this, but i would put Indiana in the first tier. I doubted them against Ohio State and, while it wasn’t pretty, a win is a win. I’d say they’re solid on defense, do enough on offense, not ain’t afraid. That’s quite a combo. UGA is maybe tier 1B.

Bama, A&M, Oregon, and Miami scare me as a UGA fan. Those are teams that can play an A+ game and just beat you. Ole Miss is probably in that tier, too, though with huge question marks after Kiffin. I think OK is too limited on offense. Texas Tech, too. We’re not talking about the G12 teams.

Seems like a year that 4 teams really set themselves apart. It kinda sucks that those teams have to play teams that didn’t perform as well.
 
It was definitely the right decision by Heupel to move on from Banks. The defense prevented us from getting to the playoffs this year imo. The injuries at CB didn't help but it was more than just poor play from the secondary. I will support whoever they hire, however, UT needs to do their be$t in landing a proven coach that can right the ship quickly on defense. GBO!!!
