@JacksonCollier Smart on them. If you’re optimistic about the choices you make leading to a better position for your school in 3-4 years, then you shouldn’t make 6+ year deals.
Biggest edge in LSU 🐅 vs Texas? The trenches.
LSU's D-line vs Texas' O-line (FBS rank):
…QB pressure: #2 vs #126
…Sacks: #3 vs #124
…Runs stuffed: #7 vs #117
LSU ranks higher in all 6 on the card.
Texas has 2 edges of its own when LSU has the ball ⬇️

DL: Worst DL2-DL4 in the country by a WIDE margin. Under no circumstance unless we go get better ones and they become insurance. Jones had a good game against the 2nd most allowed sacks in the country. Wasn’t progress. New elite RT1, LT1, DT1, DT2, End1 as a group are needed more than all other needs combined if we want to win more than 7 next year.
Soles and JQ, sure. Lockett falls under top half of 2026 class. Kash also falls under IOL.
@CCignettiIU Bad losses, by the numbers 👇
Lost to an unranked team: Georgia, Texas (twice), BYU, Texas Tech
Indiana's only loss: by 4 to No. 20 Ohio State
Wins over the CFP top 25: Texas 4, Indiana 0

I think too many look at conferences as aggregates.
These are an illustration, not exacts:
/ The top ~2-3 of SEC are equal with Top ~2-3 of Big 10
/ ~2-4 of SEC and Big 10 are equal to 1-3 of Big 12 and 1 of ACC.
/ In some years the Big 12’s 1-2 are up there with SEC and Big Ten 1-3.
/ The bottoms of each P4 conference are awful. Bottom 3-4 of ACC would be competitive in G6. Bottom 1-2 of of the rest.
/ Then the middle grouping of each fluctuate significantly year to year. They’re tight knit within the conference.
there will be 60k at Saturday’s South Carolina game assuming weather isn’t bad. Arkansas’ Noncon weekday basketball games aren’t unique to Arkansas, but there are other similar sized metros as Arkansas with less exciting basketball programs who have better attendance. There’s more than one problem for the basketball attendance. and it won’t substantially improve just by solving the top 2-3.
@wholehogsports Last year, if we had an 80th ranked defense we would’ve won 10-11 games. NIL hasn’t been our problem, and isn’t our problem this year. We’d be 5-4 right now if our defense wouldn’t have gotten out-coached against at half against Tennessee and Auburn.
How the grade works, in one image.
Backtest: coaches we had graded above average beat projection the next season 58% of the time. Below average: 44%.
Only 3 of 76 grade clearly above average.
Ever wondered the value-add of a coach versus talent?
/ New Series - Coach Pay vs. NIL for Proven Talent: WR Coach Edition (let us know what position you want next!)
Best buy here is situational, but predictable ⬇️
/ Bottom-third-graded WR coach to average: 110-135 yds, +$60K
/ Median WR to top-10% WR: 100-130 yds, +$450K
/ Average-graded WR coach to top third: 0-55 yds, +$65K
Where does your $500K go?
How we graded: apples-to-apples talent adjusted, accounted for surrounding talent, continuity of OC-OL-QB, and much more.
Highest graded in 2026: Simmons (USC), Stepp (Illinois), Whitted (Boise State), Shanahan (Indiana), Cummings (Washington), Wade (Arizona). Board in the replies.

@gatadata88 Opponent Rank at End of Season is what counts 🤪
5-4 against teams with positive W/L this season. Obviously everyone has games left to play, but playing against 9 teams in 10wks who have positive W/L is wild!
@jordanmoore_21 I haven’t defended Alabama over Tennessee, but Alabama certainly deserves to be above 1-loss and some 0-loss teams who haven’t faced anyone.
