Title: 2022 SEC Off Season Thread
Post by: Cincydawg on January 16, 2022, 10:56:44 AM

I was jealous, so there.

We have a LOT of new coaches.  UF LSU USCe  and probably somebody else.  This is on top of four new coaches last season, so half the league basically.

One can pencil Bama in to win the conference, duh.  UGA is going to lose a lot, they should still be able to fill the holes, but may drop back a bit.  Tennessee runs that fast paced offense that will give somebody problems but they still need more talent.  I don't know where Florida is.  LSU made a splashy hire of course, interesting to see how they recover.  A&M is on the button with some recent elite recruiting, this could be their year to take the West but they play Bama away.  I remain impressed with Kentucky.  I think they will have 8-9 win seasons with Stoops.

I don't know when OU and Texas will join, "not soon" I suspect.

A podcast was questioning UGA's QB for next year, suggesting it's unlikely Bennett would start.

What more must he do? lol

Title: Re: 2022 SEC Off Season Thread
Post by: Cincydawg on January 16, 2022, 11:46:47 AM

Bennett may not be back next year.  And they have a crowded QB room with another 5 star coming in.  I suspect someone will portal out.

The Hogs should be very good again, I think, folks there are excited by this past season.  Pittman is a very good coach IMHO.  He is building them the right way.

USCe will be 6-6ish.  Mizzou will lame it up at 6-6.  Miss State will probably be 7-5 and upset somebody like A&M.  Ole Miss will be similar, maybe 8-4ish, give or take 4 wins.  LSU I have no clue.  Florida has some issues I think with mindset.  I expect that to take a year or so to sort out.

I'm most interested in LSU. Brian Kelly is a good coach, but usually takes a few years to get going. Not sure LSU is big on giving guys a few years to get going, and the media is going to be on them like crazy.

Saban started out 8-4, 10-3, 8-5, before the 13-1. That is 20 years ago of course, hard to believe it's been that long.  I think if Kelly manages 8-4, 10-3, 9-4, he would survive but feel some warmth.

Folks dislike Saban generally, I don't completely get why other than that his teams win a lot.  I suppose folks disliked Urban nearly as much?

I can't find it in me to dislike a coach just because he's a winner, if he is all mouth, OK, I get that, if he has no class, sure, I'm not a fan of Kelly for some reasons, I don't really dislike him, I don't admire him much though.  Harbaugh is a bit annoying at times.  I don't see anything bad about Day or Smart.

I guess folks disliked John Wooden?  Maybe?  No SM back then.

does Bennett have eligibility left? I thought he was a 6th year guy in 2021.

The kid made huge plays vs Michigan and Bama in the playoff. Downfield big-time throws. He wasn't just game manager. He made big plays to help Georgia win a national title. I'm with you, if he's got eligibility how the hell is he not the starter?

He has a year left.  I think he may transfer, really.  JT Daniels is still around, so far, along with Brick Vandegrift and this new kid named "Gunner" Stockton who is supposed to be a something.  This is an amusing post from last year expecting JT to be the Guy.

They're impressive. 

No pass rusher with more than six sacks ... in 15 games. But 20th in sack rate. 

(The ESPN headline game is perpetually interesting. A fun exercise in reading things into other things, when the reasoning is usually mundane. That said, not a great headline.)

Fun update on the "The SEC is only Bama" narrative:  3 different SEC national champions in the past 3 years.

How far back do you have to go for 3 B1G NC winners?  Try 56 years.  And it's still 24 if you want to count Nebraska in '97.
ACC?  31 years.  (20 if you count Miami in '01)
PAC?  67 years. (31 if you count CU in '90)

It's a joke. 
3 different NCs in the past 3 years.
4 in the past 12.
5 in the past 14.
6 in the past 23. 

The "All Bama" narrative is literally the opposite of the reality of it.  Every other conference suffers from a lack of variety at the top, not the SEC.

Title: Re: 2022 SEC Off Season Thread
Post by: Cincydawg on January 27, 2022, 07:24:33 AM

UGA will be interesting in 2022 with the QB situation and rebuilding the defense.  I expect a step back obviously, it could be a rather largish step, though they will be favored to win the East again.  I don't know where Florida will be in Year One, probably a threat.  Bama has shown how to reload, and UGA has recruited at a high level, so they can reload, they also play younger folks in rotations like Bama does.  Kirby is obviously trying to mimic Saban's methods.

As noted there is a lot of upheaval elsewhere with half the teams with new coaches (counting those with one year in already).  The Vols seem to be on an upswing, but from a low level and they need to restock talent.  They could upset someone next year with that offense.  UK seems solidly "good" now, but not great.  Arkansas is trying to do the Bama thing as well, Sam Pittman, and is building another solid team that lacks elite talent at this point.  LSU?  Whew.

A&M oddly enough is also doing a Bama, or trying.  They are amassing talent and the NIL thing is large there.  They play Bama in Tloosa next season.

Title: Re: 2022 SEC Off Season Thread
Post by: rolltidefan on January 27, 2022, 10:40:58 AM

kirby needs to do what saban did few years back and unleash the offense. kirby, like saban, will rarely if ever have a bad defense, but the game has changed and even a great defense can't stop great offenses the whole game anymore. not for a whole season. gotta have both.

uga is typically more adept at getting high quality qb's, though bama/saban have been highly successful at that as well the last 3-5 years. but uga has always had good qb's come to play for them, so should only help them transition.

Title: Re: 2022 SEC Off Season Thread
Post by: Cincydawg on January 28, 2022, 09:14:47 AM

I'm not sure how UGA could "unleash the offense" more than they have.  They do pass the ball, perhaps not enough.  This hinges of course in your QB, WRs, and OL.

When you have good RBs and get a lead over mediocre teams, it makes sense to me to run a lot.  I do think that doesn't work against elite teams.  I still don't see UGA getting into shoot outs like Bama did a few times this past season, but they have Bryce Young.

Title: Re: 2022 SEC Off Season Thread
Post by: OrangeAfroMan on January 28, 2022, 01:42:46 PM

With UGA's WR injuries the past few years, they've done what they had to do.  That FR TE was a godsend.  

UGA has signed more 5* QBs the past 5 years than anyone else, and I think it's like double anyone else.  But they all also leave Athens to go elsewhere, so there's that.

Smart simply needs to keep those guys between the hedges.

247 had UF's team talent at 7th last season.  I think they have been recruiting top 20 or higher for a while.  They were at 9 in 2020.  I don't expect they will be down for long either though.

don't need them all. just a handful. Ohio State has been recruiting Florida at a high level since Tressel. Urban just kicked it into a higher gear - like he does everywhere he goes except the NFL apparently - and Day has for the most part sustained Urban's recruiting in Florida.

great thing about Florida kids - even the 5* and 4* ones - they'll go anywhere. very small percentage have any kind of loyalty to the state schools. ain't like it is at Ohio State where every god damn Ohio kid lives and dies and dreams of Ohio State or USC where every god damn LA kid automatically goes to USC- when they have even a halfway competent coach in place that is.

Top 20 isn't good enough in the SEC.  If you're 20th in the country, you're likely 8th or 9th in the conference.

19th is a far cry from 50th and recruiting classes tend to be low in HC transition years...which is why many of them get a "pass." 

UF's 22 class went from "shit sandwich" to "trending in the right direction."  That's all.

Early look at Georgia football’s quarterback room (usatoday.com) (https://ugawire.usatoday.com/2022/02/08/early-look-georgia-football-quarterback-room-stetson-bennett-brock-vandagriff/?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR3DltCKecN5x6Xh-gFu7PotOtvxe_McwrPMEp0QWu6rk9-dyXMhzyP-VzQ)

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.72)]Bennett’s excellence in 2021 should not be overlooked. He finished with the [/color]40th-most efficient (https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/leaders/pass-rating-player-season.html)[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.72)] passing season of all-time.[/color]

I think if he were 6'1" or more, there would be a lot less doubt about him.  It's a strange situation.

Returning production numbers show Georgia will need offense to shine early in 2022 (dawgnation.com) (https://www.dawgnation.com/football/connor_in_coverage/georgia-football-returning-production-2022/W7NMGJQPY5BRTKHIEPRI2T2UME/?fbclid=IwAR03FuTU2CqynTUY0MxFaGmVJsjlegZYccaP9VL2nmqGDuDeBFnCjeGaxbM)

UGA is losing a lot, so we'll see if Smart has indeed built a Saban like program and can reload.  My guess is they will be good but no repeat, might get a NY6 bowl game.

So, new coaches around the league and status of their program:

LSU - I lean to thinking Kelly will be a bust by LSU standards, but they will get back to 9-4ish soon.
Arkansas - Pittman building an Alabama kind of team, but with less talent.  Should be consistently 9-4ish.
Ole Miss - All over the place.
MSU - All over the place.
A&M - Time to do something serious with all that recruiting, if ever it is to happen.  NIL?
Auburn - Troubles on the Plains.  Real troubles.

South Carolina - Huge talent challenge.
Tennessee - Fast tempo offense will give opponents fits but need to build more talent, 8-5ish
Florida - I have no idea.  Should be enough talent to be pretty decent.
UK - Not a new coach, but similar to Arky, doing it the right way I think.
Mizzou - I think they are still around.
Vandy - Had the worst Vandy team last year I've seen in a long time.

We could have a UGA-Bama rematch, twice, next year, again.  UGA's schedule:

Oregon (Atlanta) - A testy game to be sure.
Samford - Duh
At South Carolina - Can be tougher than is should be, but nope
Kent State - meh
At Mizzou - probably not
Auburn - I don't think so
Vandy - geesh
Florida - always a question mark of sorts
Tennessee - could be a stumble, but at home
At Miss State - more cowbell, probably not.
At Kentucky - They play tough usually.
Tech - Yech

Only six true home games, two of them pastries, really three with Vandy.

Florida doesn't have a fun schedule.

We have Utah and will probably be underdogs for that one.  We get A&M from the West.  

All we can hope for is that Anthony Richardson is actually the video game QB he appeared to be early last year.

Florida will be a mystery out of the gate, definitely some talent on the field as usual, but in the right places and coached up?  Dunno, will improve from last year, duh.  I expect to see more discipline, no thrown shoes etc.  The Vols appear to be on the ups and could beat them.  A&M and Utah very plausible Ls.

LSU who knows about them either?  An 8-4 or 9-3 season seems plausible.  Kentucky?  The rest of the East seems quite weak, meaning Mizzou/USCe/Vandy, FSU seems not back.

Kentucky's peak.
The fact that Alabama's most likely loss other than A&M is Texas?!?
The fact that in a worst-case scenario, Florida beats either Utah or FSU.
.
This seems to look at last year in a vacuum.  Suddenly Arkansas and South Carolina are good to go, as if they weren't utter dumpster fires 1 year ago.  Non-helmets tend not to have a positive, linear trajectory to success.  
Conversely, the idea that Florida and LSU's peaks are 2 games behind UK's ignores everything pre-2021.  While intuitively it shouldn't be true, but programs that have "been there before" tend to get back there more often and more easily than programs that have not.  Whether it's down-roster talent level or deep-down expectation level or what, the UKs of the world tend to have a few good years and then regress.  The Floridas and LSUs tend to have a few poor years and then improve.
.
All that being said, I haven't looked at the schedule-by-schedule outlook for all the teams, but this jus seems to be far too linear and too much recency bias for me.

I think of "last year" as being 2021 for some reason.  Uk did pretty well last year as well, and has a decent shot at another solid year.

Tennessee has "been there" before, but not for a while.  I personally don't find those guesses "hilarious", any of them.

Agreed.  

It will be interesting to see how Utah does in 2022 and beyond.  They finished 10-4 and #12 in 2021, good for them.  Also, they finished on a tear.  They started just 1-2 with an FCS win and two bad losses (BYU and SDSU).  After that they went 9-2 with a road loss to the Beavers and the Rose Bowl loss to Ohio State.  Their biggest accomplishment of 2021 was beating the higher ranked Ducks not once but twice.  

Their defense was superb most of the year (held Oregon to a combined total of just 17 points in TWO meetings) but seemed to disappear in games against teams with the initials "OSU".  They gave up 468 yards and 42 points to Oregon State (this was the most points scored by OrSU all year) then got torched for 48 points and almost 700 yards in the Rose Bowl with the Buckeyes setting multiple Rose Bowl records in the process.  

Can the Utes build on last year or will it turn out to be a mirage?  

Title: Re: 2022 SEC Off Season Thread
Post by: Abba on June 14, 2022, 04:28:04 PM

They have some key pieces back such as their starting QB and RB and they have a CB who I think may end up being a first rounder some day.  I believe they lost some of their front-7 pieces, including a star LB.  I would put them as the Pac 12 favorite right now, but can they come to SEC country and steal a win against the Gators?  And how good will those Gators be?  Another 6 win team, or do they put it together and make a play for the SEC East.

I'm not sure about the Oregon State game, but against the Buckeyes they were very injured in the secondary.  They basically had a running back starting back there, so although JSN had a monster game, let's not get too excited.

From the perspective of Utah, I think that the OrSU game is a much bigger concern.  You can chalk up the RB to injuries or end-of-season or just it is the Buckeyes, they scored a lot of points on most opponents. The Buckeyes were an 11-2 team that finished ranked #6 and Ohio State scored at least 48 points last year in six other games (Akron, Rutgers, Maryland, Indiana, Purdue, and MSU).  

Oregon State is different.  The Beavers finished unranked and barely over .500 and scored at least 42 points in only three other games (Hawaii, Idaho, USC).  

Maybe OrSU was just "one of those days".

FOX Sports analyst Joel Klatt unveiled his preseason college football top five on Tuesday afternoon.

Not surprisingly, Klatt has Alabama atop his personal poll. Ohio State is next, with defending national champion Georgia coming in third.

Those seem to be popular picks for the first three teams on various preseason rankings lists. It's after the top three where you find some variance among experts.

Klatt has Texas A&M and Notre Dame rounding out his top five. The Aggies are coming off an 8-4 season and Gator Bowl berth, though they were unable to play in the game due to COVID-19. Jimbo Fisher's team went 9-1 and won the Orange Bowl in 2020, narrowly missing the College Football Playoff.

The team that beat out the Aggies for a CFP spot that season? Notre Dame, which went 11-2 in 2021, but lost to Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl.

Klatt is clearly a big believer in new ND head coach Marcus Freeman.

Klatt appears to be a Big Ten believer, judging by the fact he has Michigan and Michigan State just outside the top five. Utah and Clemson are also lurking.

The most notable omissions from Klatt's list are Oklahoma and USC. We'll see how his rankings match up to the preseason Coaches and AP polls when they are unveiled in August.

Title: Re: 2022 SEC Off Season Thread
Post by: Cincydawg on June 15, 2022, 08:40:08 AM

As noted, about everyone has the same top three and then variation, the teams apparently lower than that have questions (as do the three).

It's mildy amusing of course, but irrelevant to much of anything.  An unranked team can make the playoffs at 12-1.  I'm going with UCLA having a shot, as do some others.

My wife likes my "chili", which is southern style I reckon, tomatoes and ground beef, served over rice.  No beans, I used to use beans but I discovered I really don't like them in chili.  It goes well with beer, like 420, which my wife also likes.

Steele credited Georgia with having four top-five individual units: receiving — which includes wide receivers and tight ends — offensive line, linebackers and defensive backs. Steele has Georgia’s receiving unit as No. 4 in the country, its offensive line as No. 2 in the country, its linebackers as No. 3 in the country and its defensive backs as No. 1 in the country.

I understand why Stetson Bennett is widely ranked so low, he's short, he was not highly recruited, and he's short.  I do find it rather amusing in a sense, he seems to get it done one way or the other.  His NFL potential is probably UDA at best, probably not even that.

So I do this fusion dish, inspired by a meal I had at a place up North that didn't survive 2020.

It's Texas chili over Korean fried rice, finished with fried lo mien noodles.

I think when it comes to these and the "% chance of winning" graph during a game, with its wide variances, needs to really be called what it really is:  teams in thhis situation at this part of the game have won this % of the time.

I can dig into the numbers at a later point, but the percentages tend to compound in certain ways.

Says they are based on FPI, which projects winning chances, or tries to.  Presuming FPI means anything at all, one can calculate the odds of winning each conference game and thus the odds of winning said conference.  I don't personally value preseason FPI that much at all, but it's a list, and I LOVE lists.

FPI is an attempt to quantify how we rank every team and choose favorites, I guess everyone here knows this.  It seems to work pretty well, according to the above.  It deals in probabilities, so it sort of can't be wrong in a sense.

Bama gets A&M at home, which helps, and they have a revenge factor and coaching apparent animosity.  The play @ Arkansas and Tennessee and LSU and Ole Miss, so their conference road slate is not a walk in the park.  The Vols start to look dangerous now, I think, probably not enough depth to play every week.

They can lose one because it's unlikely whoever beats them only loses one or zero.  UGA has an easier path to Atlanta.  I am fairly sure Bama would be favored over UGA.

The Jeremy Pruitt era is over in Knoxville with the former head coach fired after going 16-19 over 3 seasons at Tennessee. Unfortunately for the Volunteers, his time with the program was mired with a number of violations.

According to a Friday afternoon report from Adam Sparks with the Knoxville News Sentinel, Tennessee was flagged for 18 Level I violations stemming from Pruitt’s time as head coach. The violations were revealed in a 51-page report detailing $60,000 worth of cash/gifts given to football recruits and players by Pruitt, his wife, numerous coaches, staff and boosters.

To Tennessee’s credit, the Vols made multiple changes in the athletics department and football staff in the wake of the Pruitt era.

In the notice of allegations, the NCAA credited Tennessee for self-reporting violations and its “exemplary cooperation” in the investigation. It also did not find the university lacked institutional control, a significant decision that likely removes the program from program-crippling levels of punishment.

The NCAA contends Pruitt and his staff gave players cash and gifts throughout his tenure with the Vols from 2018-21. And it says that his wife, Casey Pruitt, paid more than $15,000 in rent and car payments for a Tennessee player and his mother over 2½ years.

He is in excitement/recruiting coach, so talking a lot is in the wheelhouse.

also, if he doesn’t talk a lot, the reporters there might just not ask enough questions and he would have to leave before the allotted time is up. And that would look bad

Stupid predictions are especially stupid.

LOL. 

I'd say A&M and Vandy have the same shot. None. It'll be BAMA 99.99%. Georgia has a shot though, for sure.

I'd say A&M has something like a 5% chance, Vandy's chances are 1 in a billion or so.  A&M's problem is they've shown they can beat Bama but then lose twice more later.

UGA has shown they can compete with Bama in recruiting and on the field.

Florida has a tough slate.
