Preseason rankings are close to or at 100% of the value in week 1 and it decreases by about 10% each week, I'm guessing. I know that's how S&P+ works. I don't think anyone knows exactly what formulas are in FPI.
Keegan-Michael Key doing a James Franklin impression (around 30 seconds in) is pretty hilarious.

Time for buckeye fans to have a change of opinion on FPI
9/24/17
I think we can all agree FPI is a joke.
I got you.
oh wow, how in the hell did I miss that this weekend?
I got you.
when you can't tell if they're wearing maryland flag clothing or the odds-n-ends fabric bin at JoAnn

Seriously, think I fell in love with that GIF.
You, me, andycapps, pxleyes, and a sizable portion of the Maryland student body.
I may have said something completely inappropriate in our hangouts thread.
I got you.
I got a tingly feeling in my pants.
Wasn't able to post this weekend but fuck-off at that Florida/Kentucky game. We in no way deserved to win that game, but at the same time lol Kentucky.
While this season is some kind of weird, hellish, fever-dream, it's still interesting to see some young talent start to emerge. Toney in the wildcat is the kind of risky gamble I think fans have been wanting to see. Davis has shown to be a pretty interesting running back. Of course, this means fuck all when we start playing the tougher teams in the schedule, but I have to take what I can get this season.
The decision to take Franks out still doesn't make a lot of sense to me. People keep telling it's because Del Rio "knows more of the offense", but why is that the case? This is what I was worried about when they took forever to announce Franks as the starter. They never had confidence in this kid and it's showing. He didn't have any turnovers and I can't honestly say that Del Rio did anything better than he did.

Maryland girl knew what the day had in store for them.

It would require you to have a passing awareness of the crap that is Maryland football.
Only thing I could say, just by looking at both of them, is that Del Rio looked more comfortable in the pre-snap and in the pocket. It seems they open up the playbook more with Del Rio. Franks was missing pre-snap checks and got happy feet a couple of times.
Friday night.
The UCONN stadium was not available Saturday. They had an MLS game between NYCFC and the Houston Dynamo.

Friday? What kind of nonsense league is the ACC turning into?
Indeed. The glasses and everything got me. I'm assuming this was the first and only take.

This season is so weird in a way I can't describe yet.
You and me both, man. You and me both.

Welp, I'm getting a good reminder today of why I took more than a year off GAF, and why I'm better off not participating in this place. Just not a good, productive, or pleasant place to have a conversation anymore - especially on any issue that's even remotely sensitive or tough to discuss. (Which happens to be a lot of them these days!)
Unlike last time, I'll give you great folks a proper goodbye, so later taters. If you want to stay in touch, Floyd knows where to find me.

Just don't leave the CFB threads. Simple.
Agreed. There's so few of us left.

I dislike the implementation of the imperialism map so much, but whatever

Well they definitely deserved to lose. Leaving two guys completely uncovered for TDs was amateur hour. Still, they look pretty crisp on offense and pretty good overall.
LDR can read pre-snap defenses better and make protection calls. Franks can't.
Now he's starting against Vandy and I bet he won't look very good and everyone will be screaming for Franks again.
What a shitshow. McElwain is one of the luckiest coaches alive.
In what ways? Is it off the county breakup of each teams original area, or the fact that it's an antiquated look at an Imperialism landgrab?

I like the idea of the land grab.
I think the bigger issue is that you lose everything, so beating a team that just lost (or has only beat teams that just lost... and that can chain out a long ways) isn't worth much.
I love the idea of a power map, it's just so all or nothing it ends up being weird.
Well, it does seem like teams have a chance to win back territory, if they beat teams that have acquired some.
I imagine the map is going to look funky after about 8 weeks of this.
I'd put out a premise of forcing teams to move to an outside territory, if they've lost the homestead (see LSU, Florida and OSUn)

Comparing this season's 3-game OOC schedule to last season, our defense has given up 372 fewer yards and 51 fewer points, and our turnover margin has gone from 0 to +7. Would look even better if we hadn't gone full go-prevent-and-run-the-clock mode for the last quarter against Houston and gave them an extra 14 points and 149 yards.
Offense has been a bit sluggish at times for sure, but we're 3-0 right now and last year's team would probably be 1-2, and the improved defensive play is a huge part of that.

That's not how any of this works.

We don't want his kind. GTHC.
Best performances from this week according to CFB Analytics. Takes opponent strength into account.
Maybe some decent ones for the OP?
Thanks Andy.
Relax y'all- Maryland girl is going to be the first thing in the OP.

didn't mre leave GAF due to the toxicity of some of the threads? Everyone just needs to stay on CFB GAF.
I wonder if she has a fan email/twitter account accepting marriage proposals. I'd submit one.
