ESPN+ Grading every team ever ranked by Committee

[Ironhead]

Yep, The longer the off season and further away we all get from last November, the higher the optimism.
Hell, By September, we'll all be making predictions of undefeated, when we stroll into Jacksonville.

By the end of September, there won't be any hope or optimism left.

A Bad coach is a bad coach.
A bad coach doesn't get better with the same talent, or hiring coaches to coach coaches.
He didn't upgrade the roster, he didn't upgrade the coaching staff and he damned sure didn't upgrade his own skills.

It is what it is.

We kinda really are just a "Mississippi State" and it may be that it's just who we are and are going to be.

It doesn't have to be terminal and with the right hire it can disappear in the rearview mirror in a season or 2 at most.

I know a guy...

College Football Playoff era grades: Judging 91 teams over the past 10 years

The four-team playoff era has come to an end. It was a heck of a decade.

In all, 86 different teams spent at least one week ranked by the playoff committee, 25 were ranked in the top four, eight were ranked No. 1 and six won national titles.

But that math only takes us so far. What we really need is a full accounting of the four-team playoff era, a ranking slathered in math but ultimately as arbitrary as anything the committee has given us in the past decade.

No so surpising top 4

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. OSU
4. UGA
5. MICH
6. OU
7. LSU
8. ORE
9. Notre Dame
10. Washington

18. Florida Gators
Record: 76-50
Average SP+: 14.6 (16th)

Kids, you won't believe this, but there was a time, not all that long ago, when the Florida Gators were considered a genuine power in the college football world. Indeed, on Dec. 5, 2020, the Gators beat Tennessee to move to 8-1 on the season, jumping all the way to No. 3 in the AP poll. A week later, a guy threw a shoe, Florida lost to LSU, and since then, everything is pain. Before the shoe throw, Florida was 45-26 in the playoff era, with three top-15 finishes, three 10-win seasons and two New Year's Six bowl wins. After the shoe throw, the Gators are 17-24 and just 10-23 against Power 5 foes. The lesson here? Footwear is not a projectile.

I'm still in amazement and . . . I don't have the words to describe my anger . . . at Marco throwing the shoe. I know, he's a college kid, and I agree, but that cost us so much, for no good reason.

At 8-1 in 2020 and before the LSU debacle, it was still a mirage and we knew that Dipshyt Dan was in over his head. The loss to TAM was inexplicable as were Mullen’s goofy comments & antics. His excuses after the TAM loss, blaming the noise on the road and calling for the Covid cap on attendance in the Swamp to be lifted was nothing but crybaby loser excuses from a douchebag who got out coached by the fcvking bum Dumbo Fisher. Then the whole Darth Vader buffoonery after the Mizzou game and it was apparent that we wouldn’t win squat that year, nor any other year that fcvktard Mullen was roaming our sideline.

We’re one season away from being closer to 2 lost decades than one lost decade and we don’t appear to be any closer to being relevant on any level…relevant in the state of Florida, relevant in the SEC nor relevant in the national title conversation. As a matter of fact, it seems to me we’re further away from being relevant now under Sun Belt Billy than we’ve been under any of the other loser bastards we’ve hired since Urban bailed out. We’re going in the wrong direction but our admin keep pushing the thrusters forward, hellbent on crashing the program with as much force as possible.

We've become that fan base. Like Nebraska, talking of years gone by.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

The tough schedule on paper has holes in it. How many of our 2024 opponents will have new QBs?

But how many opponents have morons as Head Coach? Too bad we couldnt play Baby Beamer and USCjr every week.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

We've become that fan base. Like Nebraska, talking of years gone by.

Unlike Nebraska, we sit in the state with the most football talent and just need to make something other than a Big Lots hire to be back on top.

Anything less than Dan Lanning on our next hire will be a failure!

Our luck, we'll go and sign Bill Belichick to a 10 year, $200 mil contract thinking we're getting the 2005 version of him.

One more try at the Saban tree to see if ground and pound will work, huh? This time it willmeork for sure!!!!

I hear Muschimp is available, too.

You fell for the "McElstain" stats at Col State too, huh? He turned a new leaf from the guy who lost 9-6 to Grasseater with the most offensice talent ever assembled at the time?

Maybe you should think about the Oregon OC, not the Sabanite DC running the joint.

BTW, how did the last two Oregon HCs do after they left the comfort of the PAC defenses?

Even Satan turned a new leaf when he learned about the forward pass and how it worked.

Until he lost Kiffy and Sark. Then he was back to hiring garbage OCs.

Because decent OCs get hired away immediately.

No, we dont need Muschamp v6.

He went back to the Tebow offense last year because his QB couldn't throw the ball. Before that, he had Heisman nominees at QB because he threw the ball around,

i guess maybe im victim too bc id be pretty pleased with a dan lanning hire. maybe its just oregon and they win and are high octane bc its just how they are, but they look impressive. id like to see that same scheme with florida talent.

You wont. You hire YET ANOTHER SABANITE and you get Muschimp/Butters/Napier AGAIN. Did Willy Taggart bring an Oregon offense? How about Cristobal? Did he bring an Oregon offense to scUM? Weird, huh?

I seriously worry about the brain damage associated with the trauma of the lost decades.

Hell, Saban wouldnt even be Saban at UF. He would be less than Saban at LSU or Michigan trying to squeeze all those recruiting and coaching advantages out of our slumlords.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Whehhhh... he was running a veer? Of course he wasnt.

And your father's lifetime.

This is the worst coaching job since Pharaoh hired the magicians to coach Team Egypt in plague avoidance.
