Never forget: Mark Richt is good for 10 wins a year. No more, no less.
 
In four close games, Tech went 1-3. There's your difference between a good season and sitting out a bowl. Just a few plays in the fourth quarter. I'm watching the new DC to see what changes he makes. If the talent level has to stay the same, at least Woody is a guy who has overachieved with the talent he's had. By the way, I saw a stat where GT was third least penalized defensively--yet the point was made that few of the least penalized defensively were big winners. Theory is it points to less talent or aggressiveness. You don't seek to get penalized, but attacking defenses draw more penalties. Something to watch with a new DC.

Gotta field a defense to get penalized on defense.

I see Tech winning 10 games next season, with the only losses coming to Georgia and Clemson. They end up in a New Years Six bowl which they will win.

Long past time for college football to abolish the win.

The No-Win Rules were a controversial rule-set adopted by the NCAA between the 2018 and 2022 seasons. On January 21st, 2019, the NCAA rules committee published a revised version of the Rules Book, and an addendum to the Division I Uniform Review Process and Rule Regarding Pants, which became known as the No-Win Rules.[1] The No-Win rules abolished the practice of keeping records of game winners (although controversially, not game scores), and instead substituted for the purposes of conference championship and bowl selection metrics the new statistic of "Days In All Fun". The DIAF statistic was calculated to include practice time as well as actual game-days, and factored in crowd participation and social media as well as relying on surveys administered to all players and coaches during the breaks between quarters, except half time, which became reserved for sensitivity and emotional intelligence training.[2]

The DIAF and the No-Win Rules contributed to the first-ever NCAA championship in the playoff era to be won by schools outside the Power 5 conferences, with ECU taking the top spot in a surprising 2019 playoff that included Arizona State, Ole Miss, and Alabama.[3] Alabama went on to win the 2020 and 2021 playoffs under expanded legislative and judicial powers handed to the office of Head Football Coach of the University of Alabama by the Alabama Supreme Court (Saban v The People 2019), but failed to make the post-season in 2022 after Saban's retirement. The entire system came to an end after the Texas A&M Scandal in 2022, which culminated in the single largest criminal lawsuit in human history, indicting over 100,000 people on charges of possession, prostitution, illegal gambling, and treason, as well as a CFP championship for the Aggies.[4]

what have you done
 
-120 means that GT has to win 6 or more games more than 55% of the time. Since the under is even, the casino may have a real expectation of 6, but put higher odds on 5.5 instead to induce action. They could do this for other teams as well, since non-fans are unlikely to put money on under for a team like GT.

It has been nearly 15 years since I set in motion my plan to get Chan Gailey elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in gratitude for the 2003 Auburn game and now, at long last, the end is in sight.

Soon my debt will be settled, Chandler. And then there will only be your debt for the 2003 Florida State game. And the 2003 Clemson game. And the 2002 Maryland game. And the 2002 Florida State game. ..I probably need some liquor if I'm going to finish typing the list here. But he knows.
 
Let’s be honest. Under 5.5 wins should result in our coach being fired. That would be 3 losing seasons in 4 years. Not even the high points of his tenure should outweigh that consistency of suck.

I agree with that theory. The only player I can remember getting flagged for hitting too hard was Gotsis. And he made the league.

I'd take 8 wins, including over UGAg and Clempsun, over your scenario.
