Blue Dawg's Weekly Sagarin Football Thread 2021

[inudesu]

Remind me again why Texas fired Tom Herman? He's literally the biggest overachiever on the list. He has 3 times the overachievement rating that his replacement --Steve Sarkisian-- has.

I assume a lot of his over achievement score would come from his Houston teams, and also - Texas expectations.

So your saying that Texas fans aren’t happy that Oklahoma is getting blown out by Alabama. It should be them getting their doors blown off.

Looks like Tech's projected record in both the Blended and Predictor ratings will drop from 8-4 to 7-5.

The UTSA game is the one that has flipped.

Did we compete?

That's partly us not winning this one as easily as predicted but it's also partly UTSA beating a P5 team on the road and just wrecking an FCS team.

I am curious about UTSA's season. They got a lot of national hype coming into the season and look great so far. But it feels like a familiar song and dance with them - sooner or later I guess it'll probably all click for a whole season for them, but I hope it isn't this year (at least not within the conference, it's great for them to go nuts OOC).

Saragin has us as 16.88 point underdogs. Vegas is saying 19.5. So they are basically saying no Skippy specials this week.

Not necessarily.

A Skippy Special is at its best when we are severe underdogs, perform too well and Skippy has to hamstring the team in order to preserve the loss

Then they can say "well you didn't really expect to beat MSU or SMU or NC St anyway so this loss is basically as good as a win"

Hmm. I think I would take NCState. No way Tech doesn't lose by at least 42-7.

I felt better about this team after the Miss St loss than I do this week after the win over UNT. Without Kendall, this team is back to being the 2020 version that couldn't move the football and couldn't score.

Vegas knows Allen is starting.

Is Kendall out this week?

Is last yrs QB still unable to play? I thinl I saw him on sideline in an earlier game. If on team and unable to play can he get a med RS and be eligible for next year? Looks like we will need him.
