We're just not quite at that level of team just yet.

Thank you for proving my point.  

In this conference, with this talent, with this year's schedule, this team should be to that level. 

If you're fine being 8-5 or 9-4 every year, thats cool.  That's just not what I expect from a team with this caliber of talent, in a subpar conference with an insanely favorable schedule.

You're being delusional. We were 2-9 and haven't had a losing season with Mack yet. We're 6-1 and recruiting well. If we lose 4 or 5 games then we can have a different conversation.

If you think this team has legit top 10 talent you're lying to yourself. A big part of Mack's success this go around is landing two legit NFL caliber QBs. We've largely been overachieving versus our overall talent level.

If we played in the SEC, I'd agree.  Minus Clemson (and maybe Duke) this season, we are 2 TDs better than everyone on our schedule.  The loss to UVA is unacceptable on so many levels, but mainly coaching and preparation. 

Let's re-assess in 5 weeks.  No point in pissing and moaning amongst ourselves until the season plays out.  If we go 12-1, win the ACC title and I get to go to Miami again I'll be fine with that.

The refs just cheated Kansas out of a turnover and Oklahoma scores a TD

Refs should not be hired by the conferences. There's just way too many financial incentives to get a team into the playoffs. There's just way too many extremely questionable flags benefitting playoff contenders in-conference every single year. Maybe going to 12 teams will help clean up some of that incentive.

But honestly, a lot of times it does feel like straight up game rigging for the teams with playoff aspirations.

    • I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.
    • Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy. 
    • I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
