A look into football winning percentage for teams that moved conferecnes
I compiled a list of teams that moved conferences and how they did in the new conference vs old conference.
A couple things:
Some thoughts
1) Impossible to evaluate the offense. Interior three weren't awful, so that is something. The tackle play was abysmal. I don't know how Garrett can be a starter next year. Clements is the easy target, but Garrett was rotten too and he played all year.
2) I loved seeing Emmett Laws making plays and Gerard Johnson not looking out of place. But, the experienced edge guys were either busting calls or the linebackers and safeties went back to being clueless. There were a lot of head scratching things happening.
Kirby Smart's father died after injury before Sugar Bowl
His father fell in New Orleans prior to the game and it required surgery to fix his hip. Unfortunately his father passed away from complications. Tough week for Smart with the game delay due to the truck incident and having to worry about his father. Sometimes football takes a back seat.
The saddest part is it appears he fell the day the game was supposed to be played so who knows if he would even have been where he was if the game wasn't delayed.
Bud Foster to rejoin the football program going forward
Brent Pry said Bud Foster will be a part of the program going forward, but he will not be the defensive coordinator. Said it'll be a number of days a week he helps out. #Hokiesโ Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) January 2, 2025
I'm going to guess this is more than just an advisory role. Never a bad thing to get a mind like his more involved with the program again. Hopefully we'll get some clarity soon on who the new DC will be.

PJ takes his cashier job at the Golden Arches way too seriously.

And so it begins - CFP to discuss eliminating the auto-bye for conference champions
There will be "in-depth discussions" about not guaranteeing conference champs the top 4 @CFBPlayoff seeds in 2025, sources said. Top 5 conference champs still would get in playoff but rankings would determine seeds, sources said. This would require unanimous approval by all stake...โ Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) December 30, 2024
Only a few more steps until ESPN's wet dream of the SEC Invitational is made a reality.

Virginia Tech Tabs West Virginia's Matt Moore as Offensive Line Coach
Virginia Tech has hired former West Virginia Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Line Coach Matt Moore as team's next Offensive Line Coach.
Moore, whose six seasons in Morgantown, West Virginia included various accolades from a Broyles Award nomination to development of All-American lineman, found himself in a precarious position with the Mountaineers firing of Head Coach Neal Brown. The school proceeded to name Rich Rodriguez their next Head Coach. and subsequently cleared the house with nearly every assistant coach, making Moore available for Virginia Tech to make an external hire.
