HooplaNation's Week 8 Rankings - Discussion Thread

LOL you mean Bama WRs are nothing compared to Williams and Metchie.. He hit a wide open WR on that last drive that would have made the fg attempt 20 yards shorter, that the WR dropped

That was a RB. But their top WR is a bum that transferred there because he got beat out by a white guy named Ladd. Young is a sawed off peckerwood that will make Jamarcus Russell look like a value pick

you've got to be kidding me.. in a loss Saturday, I felt that Young solidified himself as the top QB in CFB.. guy was Houdini out there

The dude melted in the NCG last year all the while 3 true freshmen scored TDs in the 4th quarter for UGA.

He’s overrated, was a product of his receivers last year and a brittle bitch this year

As I've said before, Tennessee beats Ohio State by a TD at the Shoe and by 10 on 'ole Rocky Top. I stand by that.

wow, that is being overly generous to Ohio State

Tennessee beats Ohio State by 4+ TDs anywhere they play

Ohio State is too slow and too god damn midwestern

lol he didn't melt.. not only has he been overachieving, the man has to overcome BOB as his OC

He melted, and now he’s injury prone. Any NFL team that drafts him will regret it big time

@TaikoTiger, why do you have Clemson in a lower tier? IMO, they look like a contender. Curious to know if you see something that I do not.

@TaikoTiger, why do you have Clemson in a lower tier? IMO, they look like a contender. Curious to know if you see something that I do not.

I could see them competing with the top tier teams but it's me just being picky about how Clemson chooses to show up vs their opponent. They look good in certain spots in the big games but are very vanilla against the lesser opponents or when they have a lead. Me being optimistic Clemson is getting healthy in the secondary, if they can start to gel, the defense could go Good to Elite. On offense, it's a clear upgrade from last year but no where close to an elite level. The play-calling has been very vanilla vs GT, LT, BC and brought out some of the better stuff vs NCST, Wake and first 3 qtrs vs FSU


When ranking teams, I look at the NAY (Net Yards per drive %) and NPP (Net yards per play) vs teams biggest opponents.
Clemson has won some good games but their not dominating their competition like a top tier should (I could probably say the same for Bama).

Overall Clemson is:
Offense: 23rd offense pts per drive | 54th avg. Offense yards per drive % | 61st yards per play
Defense: 17th defense pts per drive | 20 avg. Def. yards per drive % | 25th yards per play

UM, Tenn, UGA, OSU and Bama is top ten in either offense / defense or both.

Didn't Young throw for like 800 yards in the two games against arguably the best defense we've seen in quite some time in CFB?

Odd to call him overrated?

Dude’s only TD in the NCG was after a bullshit fumble call followed by an even more bullshit roughing the passer call and then he threw the game sealing pick six. Dude melts when it matters

So the SEC championship game when he threw for 400 yards and 3 tds on the same Georgia defense was a game that didn't matter?

I think you are selling Georgia's defense last year short. You had half the defense drafted in the 1st round and the other half will be drafted in the 1st round in this upcoming year.

Changed the defense for the SECCG and it didn’t work. Orders from the top to ensure two SEC teams in the playoffs.

The NCG was the real game. Dude ain’t that good. Easily the worst QB under Saban at Bama

I think you're selling the 2021 UGA defense a bit too much. They are not even the best defense in the past 5 years

Apparently @RubinRock disagrees with you and thinks SEC is overhyped by media.

To be honest, out of all the teams that probably should be ranked higher based on performance, I think Clemson should be getting more love. I had them #2 in my rankings after Georgia based on their wins over Wake Forest, NC State, and Florida State.

Wrong, dumbass. I essentially said the same thing as him in another thread.

 

[Across The Field]

Georgia beats Ohio State by 17.

I'm glad to see some things haven't changed

You mean the defense that had 5 of their players selected in the 1st round of the NFL draft and 2 more in the 3rd round, not to mention the others who would have been 1st round picks last year if they were draft eligible, like Jalen Carter and Kelee Ringo?

He only threw for 30 less yards in the NCG.
