What decides a team’s W/L record?

[jacket67]

Just my own WAG, but curious what others think.

QB play: 30%
O and D lines: 20%
Rest of athletes: 20%
Coaching: 20%
Luck 10%

 

[Wylie76]

Luck 10
Athletes 50 (COACH THEM UP)
O and D Line 30
QB 10 because right now we're bare and Sims isn't the answer

Who you play matters an awful lot. If GT played GSU’s schedule, even with Collins at the helm, they would probably have won enough to go bowling.

 

[Diseqc]

Ten percent luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to find Geoff to blame

 

[GTRules]

I'm not sure, but I think it's defined by how many games a team wins and loses

 

[Olgoldandwhie]

A great defense and a really good QB can hide many other deficiencies.

 

[BigDanT]

I'm not sure, but I think it's defined by how many games a team wins and loses

Ooh ooh it’s the score!

 

[OmnipoTech]

Geef likes to reference his days at Temple a lot, so I'm thinking that must be related.

 

[TechRush]

You all forgot the refs - 75%

 

[DinnerJacket]

I'm thinking, and I could be wrong here, but if you score more points than your opponent, you'll probably win more games, and thus, affect your win/loss record.

 

[JoeCakeEater]

50% how many games you win
50% how many games you lose

$$$$ decides W/L in CFB

$$$$ decides W/L in CFB

Explain Texas then. $$$ is a part of the equation though.

BTW, we were apparently middle of the pack in P5 under CPJ in revenue according to this article. I don't know where we sit now:

Which are richest and poorest college football programs? New revenue figures for all 65 Power Five schools - pennlive.com

#48 Georgia Tech $42.6 million (-19)
Paul Johnson’s triple-option regime came to a weary conclusion with a 7-6 season and listless bowl loss. Yellow Jacket crowds dwindled and the program dove 19 spots from 2017 with a piddly $12.9M profit.

QB play: 40%
Pass rush/contain: 20%
OL: 15%

Remember the name

Texas just needed the portal. Now that the portal is here, Texas can go into a star portal player's home and say "UGAg payed out $750k in NIL money last season, we payed $8 million. Now where to you want to be, next Herschel?"
