Awesome, thanks for taking time to do this:biggthumpup:

Wish we could push pin these to the top of the board to be used as reference points during discussions.

GT under CCG (prior to this season) is in the upper-third of the conference in terms of overall wins/losses. As seen here, two of the three teams above Tech have been in the conference two years (BC) and three years (VT).

However, 24 wins in five seasons only averages out to 4.8 wins per year --not good enough IMO. This average would look much better if not for the one-game-per-season losses that Tech suffers when quite frankly, they have better talent ('02- Duke, '03- WF, '04- UNC, '05 -NCSt and yes WF in the ACCCG last season) --notice that these losses all took place against the four teams with the worst overall records from 2002-2006.

Win these five games and your looking at 29-12 (71% --5.8 wins per season) overall --four wins has you winning over two-thirds (5.6 wps) of your games.

Devil's advocate to this though are the one-game-per-season wins that could have very easily been losses (Clemson in '04 & '05, Maryland in '03 & '06 and NCSt in '02 come to mind).

Despite what I may or may not have felt about CCG being hired and the subsequent job he has done up to this season --revisionist thought of looking at 4-4, 4-4, 4-4, 5-3 & 7-1 records reveals improvement and steps in the right direction for the program --those unacceptable losses to inferior opponents notwithstanding (teams do lose games they should win and in turn win some games they should lose, it's just that it seems to happen more often with GT).

I should mention here that I'm only looking at ACC games so the UGA games are not even in my discussion --but believe me blowing definitely one and possibly two games against UGA over the last three seasons to me is as bad as anything that has happened during the CG era --as was sitting through 51-7 in Athens in '02, which was about as low as I have ever felt at a Tech game.

Which brings us to this season --which I think all of us would say we are thus far disappointed with. Simply put --instead of building on last season's success-- GT has taken a step backwards. And IMO that's unacceptable.

There are games @ Miami, vs. VT, @ Duke & vs. UNC remaining --not to mention vs. UGA. These should all be winnable (conference) games --with VT at BDS probably the toughest remaining --but it is at home.

This could still finish up as a good season (although not as I had anticipated with a return trip to the ACCCG) --but at the very least for me it will take winning three of the four remaining conference games (VT is the only loss I could accept though) and definitely defeating UGA --it's just damn time.

Lose two or three more this season and DRad really needs to think hard about where this program has been, where it is now, and where he sees it going in the future.
