No, I don't think they'd rematch us.
It would still go to Oregon, one loss LSU (Ga) they'd prolly be the one's that beat Alabama in your scenario, tOhio St.
Great article Andy.
Lots of damning evidence against the old regime based on quotes there too (not like we needed much more) - really makes you wonder where Logan might be if he'd played for Loeffler more than one season.
Right? All this nonsense about cake and pie but no one is mentioning ice cream. This is madness!
*I just set someone up for an awesome gif
Topped with ice cream? Please sir may I have another!
Face it though. A million a year in Blacksburg is a king's ransom.
See what buys you in Los Angeles.

I know Seth left the cupboard pretty bare, but I hope JJ can put a decent team on the court within another couple years of recruiting to his system. It could be a pretty brutal year in the ACC, but I'll watch every game on ESPN3 because I'm a glutton for punishment.

Just curious how other Tech fans may be viewing this, (I admit there are a lot of ifs, ands and buts) but suppose Tech runs the table, wins the ACCCG by beating an unbeaten FSU or Clemson, and ends the season with a 12-1 record. Our only loss would be to Alabama. Would that give us a shot at the NC Game if Oregon and/or Alabama loses between now and then?
Please no rocks and bottles - serious responses only!
I was actually thinking the same thing. But the data obviously has to be taken with a grain of salt...It's like the idea of moneyball vs. trouble with the curve. Numbers can get us to a point that our eyes have to then validate or invalidate. D. Coale has a crazy efficiency but he isn't on a team, whereas Jarrett Boykin (who I would guess wasn't as efficient) is going to be starting for Green Bay on Sunday.

Definitely one of the most fun players to watch. His dunks provided a spark that we haven't seen in a while out of our basketball program.
That's all fine and good, but it has "cake" in the name. Just saying.
For what its worth, I was visiting Portland in the Spring and stopped in the Oregon Bookstore in town. Let me just say holy $@*# is there a nice selection of swag.
Not only is the apparel slick, but you can buy ANY one of their helmets (full size, in a glass case) - hydrochrome and all - for a mere $1,100. That is roughly 3x what the auctioned game-used helmets go for (sans high profile players).
Zach, first of all great job, I'm a huge proponent of analyzing catch efficiency rather than just pass efficiency. This kind of thinking is what brought about some of the coolest statistics in baseball: WAR comes to mind...Anyhow, I, like others on this string, think that this type of analysis could have huge implications for the NFL draft. If you have access to a math/stats whiz it may be worth sitting down and discussing your methodology. He/she may be able to provide insight into how to use "big data" on passes/targets to really quantify the way you are weighting each category in the equation...food for thought. Well done and thank you for putting in the time an effort for this analysis.
I love Frank and I love the way Frank is. Wouldn't trade him for the world and especially wouldn't trade him for that tool down in "Tiger" town. Go Hokies!
I'm saying that anything called "ice cream" is not custard. By the definition, ice cream does not have eggs. It is at least 10% milk fat because it is milk mixed with cream and sugar. No eggs. Ice Cream + Eggs = Custard.
UCF +12.5
Florida -2.5
UCLA +5.5 outright
aTm -12.5
Washington+2.5
Clemson +2.5

Ok so I just spent some time trying some stuff in excel using your numbers:
I basically said that the reception values stay the same (1, 1.11, 1.33) but I assigned values to the corresponding drops (-0.5, -0.25, 0 : ed, sd, td). This was an easy adjustment, since making the drop coefficients positive would raise efficiency above 100%. The values are easily changeable since I have this in excel.
D. Coale had a rating of 101.03 % (I'm not sure why I didn't match your value, Zach, I matched all the others) before the adjustment, and a 96.4% after the adjustment, so that is still a very good number.
W. Byrn 90.8% adjusted to 79.68%
D. Knowles 80.89% adjusted to 66.26%
J. Stanford 88.25% adjusted to 74.79%
D.J. Coales 79.08% adjusted to 61.44%
Like I said, these are small adjustments that make ME feel better about the efficiency numbers, so in no way am I saying this is right...I just felt that our receivers were more in the C-range than the B+ to A range. But there is a definite correlation between this and LT's numbers
Really good write up, I enjoyed this a lot.
That's usually how it goes for non-football. We pretty much own basketball (not the AAC anymore haha), soccer, baseball, and lax.
Dabo pees sitting down
Cheese cake is a pie crust which is filled.
The pie filling is essentially cream cheese and sour cream, sugar and eggs with some flavorings.
Combined properly and put into the pie crust to gently cook.
It's a custard gently cooked in a pie crust thus, impossible to be cake.
I can neither confirm nor deny......
well ok if you insist
