Been hearing that we have a couple of position changes on deck: Alec Bryant is moving from DE to DT and Derrell Bailey Jr. is switching from DL to OT. Can anyone confirm?

Michigan QB D McCaffrey into portal

By: AhChuckit on January 22, 2021, 9:18 AM | 16 comments

Saw this news and piqued my interest. This would be an interesting pairing and I think we'd be crazy not to reach out to him. We are just up the road from CLT so he'd be a short drive from watching big bro play on Sundays. Seems like McCaffrey is a parallel to P Lynch from Memphis. Even though we did get the kid from aTm, we'd have to at least make a call, right?

I know that:

  • 2020 was a CFB (not Coach Frank Beamer; College FootBall) anomaly year
  • Final rankings are kind of a load of BS
  • Rankings even within the top 25 can be a load of BS

But...

...when LOLUVa is sitting one spot above us despite having lost to us and having played one less game.

The Most Boring NCG Ever (?)

I'll be honest - i barely watched the game last night. I tuned in for the start and the game was competitive for the first quarter+, but it got out of hand in a hurry and Ohio St. had little chance of making this close unless Alabama played sloppy and instead the played a pretty crisp game. More than anything I was just bored with the whole playoff this year... same teams... similar result. I'm of the mind now that unless something is done to open the playoffs and expand the field, we're going to see the same participants over and over again and its going to be detrimental to all of FBS with the exception of the 3-5 premier teams.

OT: College Football Job/Program Rankings (x-post /r/CFBAnalysis)

This is original content created by u/SlamDunkley33 and posted to r/CFBAnalysis.

I haven't seen a formulaic/quantifiable approach to ranking programs, so I thought this was pretty cool and worth sharing here, especially since there's been a lot of debate over where VT sits in the college football pecking order. By this ranking method, VT sits as the 32nd best program in college football.

There's definitely some flaws with his methodology, but I think the thought process is good. Here's the original post. Here's u/SlamDunkley's methodology:

Shane Beamer rounds out defensive staff with former Florida assistant, reports say

Shane Beamer is in the final stages of assembling his staff for South Carolina football — and the latest assistant coach to reportedly join the fold is someone with whom he shares a long history.

Torrian Gray will join the Gamecocks as the defensive backs coach, ESPN, The Athletic and AL.com reported Monday evening. Gray last worked at Florida, where he held the same title, but his ties to Beamer date back more than two decades.
