Ok gang, time for the season's probability polls for 2019!

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me and I'm feeling good! New coach, new TV network, new slogan, new branding, NEW ATTITUDE! Sure, they are the defending champs. Sure, they are ranked #1 preseason. Doesn't matter, because they don't know how to game plan for what we are going to be bringing, offensively or defensively. Let's do this!

I'll be putting these out every few days so we can get them all in before the first game.

Once, twice, or 3x?

 

[gtfan088]

Went with 0.1 or less, but I do think we'll cover.

 

[smokey_wasp]

Gave us a 0.2 solely due to element of surprise and the fact that openers can get weird.

 

[jacket67]

This is actually a good opening opponent for us this year. Regardless of how ugly it gets, it still only counts as one loss. All the non-Tech fans will just tune in to see Clemson, so nobody will have any expectations for us. And if we keep it respectable, that's something to energize the fan base. I just don't think there is any chance we shock the football world with a win.

 

[gtrower]

This is pretty much the only scenario I’d ever put 0.1 or less for. New system against the defending champs.

Same

And Clempsen has Texas A & M the next week after us.

 

[BuzzLaw]

Almost a coin flip.

 

[Techbert]

Poll fail.

No specific 110% option.

 

[GoldZ]

Forget the Alamo.......Remember Bama in '80!

 

[Olgoldandwhie]

Forget the Alamo.......Remember Bama in '80!

And then we woke up.

 

[GTRules]

And then we woke up.

Nah. More like we went back to sleep.

 

[Flywheel]

Ask rather what is the probability they ever beat us again after Year 0.5 of the Collins Era.

Bump. Next poll posting shortly.

Is there a control for idiots? At least 12 of those have voted at this point.

Better to be an idiot voting 0.9 than an idiot voting 0.1.
