Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Soooo is Kelly about to be lured away to Michigan?

Makes sense never thought he’d last in the South.

Just keeps getting worst for LSU.

LSU's hate for Michigan is off the charts right now,

 

[Jackcrevol]

Really two of those were egregious. One at Arky where QB was running backward, in front of Ump. Other against Bama that would have been a sack. So obvious even I saw it.

That's not how SOS works at all.

Our opps overall have a lower-end winning% but we've played a tough schedule.

It's no coincidence the SEC teams on that list have the highest SOSs.

That’s not right, the only statistic that is used is opponents W%. If you disagree, what metrics are used and what are the calculations?
Sos =(3 x opponents win%+
overall opponents wining %)/3.
So it is all based on opponents win%.

The fact he isn’t in the heisman conversation is insane

15 TDs his first 6 games. 6 TDs last 4.

His saving opportunity was needing a monster game vs UGA, a true national spotlight breakout type of performance.

Didn't happen.


Najee Harris 2020 is a nice comp. Granted he played an all P5 schedule. Vs SEC opps he averaged 2.18 TDs/game and 5.9 YPC. Samp is at 4.99 YPC and 1.7 TDs/SEC opponent.

Similar split vs P5 opponents.

VS all P5 opps:

Sampson
5.15 YPC
1.75 TDs/game

Harris
5.84 YPC
2.0 TDs/game

Harris was also used more in the passing game. 425 yards (110 for Samp so far) on the season and 4 extra TDs.


And Harris finished 5th in voting, while being on an undefeated championship team.

The fact that SOS varies widely among publications tells you it isn't a set calculation. Let's just use common sense there.

Just as 1 example picked at random, Miami's opps are 2% higher than us, yet they're 37 spots below us.

It was posted earlier our opponents' W-L cumulative record is sub-100 nationally...and yet we have the #17 SOS according to the post you replied to...

Havent watched the wolfpack since our game with them. They looked decent for the first quarternahalf against us.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Wow, that was an insane int

Edit: almost int

Guess that $10.5 mil did the trick.

Didn't Connor Stallions literally just become an assistant coach at this kids high-school like 2 weeks ago....

Yeah had no idea they were 5-5

If they win out can they be considered as good of a win as Vandy or Arky?

McCall retired.... Theyve been terrible on O because theyre running a QB that isnt ready.

If that was the case, there would be multiple teams tied with the same SOS
