POLL: What is the probability we beat Duke in 2021?

[coit]

Sat, Oct 9 @ Duke - TBD PM ET

---------------------------------
Last game: Pittsburgh
Next game: Virginia
---------------------------------

ESPN Pre-Season FPI Rank: 82
FPI Differential: +5.6
Win Probability: 58.4%

And here we are at the 6th straight game to start the season. When was the last time we played six in a row out of the gate? And without a Thursday game this year to break things up, the season is set for two 6-game stretches.

The good news is that this is one of only two conference games that we are favored in, so count this one as a W for sure. Duke is on the decline, and maybe it it time for Cut to hang it up?

I'm surprised the win probability is that low, I would expect it to atleast be in the 60-70 range. 80's I think is a safe, optimistic guess. With recruiting on the upswing at GT, UNCheat, and UM, I think Cut's time at Duke is coming to a close in the next couple of years.

 

[BigDanT]

We are going to smack them in the mouth.

Idk about y’all but öööö duke.

Duck Fuke.

If we don't beat Duke..,

It will not bode well for the current coaching staff. However, I think we beat the dukies by 20.

 

[Techbert]

If we don't beat Duke..,

Then we will be right back where we were with the last coach.

NIU
KSU
Duke

Those games are all 100% must wins for the staff. Lose any of them and assistant coaching changes are imminent and Collins is more and more a lame duck.

Paterdouche will be Collins’ downfall.

We have to win this year. Recruiting will potentially fall apart if we don’t start winning NOW. This might be the highest stakes season of football we’ve had in a long time with respect to the impact that individual wins and losses can and will have on the overall trajectory of the program.

Losing and losing badly could set us back significantly (years). Winning and being competitive in the losses could catapult us to the next step. The question will be, how many do we need to win?

For me the answer is 6. Make a bowl, don’t get embarrassed by anyone, and you’ll see this rebuild really take off.

DUCK FUKE. I'm glad the era of losing to them is over.

We win this, easily.

Duke had a temporary rise in talent and capabilities a few years ago.
No longer…program is in total disarray right now, back to the old Duke again.
Cutcliffe looks tired.
Must win for GT imho.

So six voters think Duke wins? Fascinating.

@FHstinger votes 0.1 for every game every year. Fun guy. @cbee must be a UGA troll, or another great Tech fan.

I'm resigned that we have a certain contingent of fans who simply defy explanation.

I’m legit more worried about KSU than Duke.

 

[Uncle Mike]

#&$@ Duke...juss sayin

I’m legit more worried about KSU than Duke.

If we don't come out pumped and on fire for ksu, it could be a long hot day at bds.
