Preseason History (Odds favor UM)

[MumbleRap]

I love this post so much, right down to the Napier mention.

It was the first time a UM player had been picked to be POTY in ACC preseason, I had to do some research… then I started seeing some trends.

Funniest thing to me is ACC voters thinking UM has most all conference players and POTY, yet finish 3rd in conference.. They better say a prayer

& certain posters kept denying me when I said there are zero excuses this yr. Anything less than 10 wins this season is a failure in yr 3 w/ this talent. Everyone is bullish on us, and we still have some trying to manufacture reasons why an 8 win season is considered progress. Bullllll ****; this team + schedule is primed to be a 10+ win team.

We deserve the preseason hype; the ? is, will we now live up to it?

Couldn’t agree more.

take away the logo/colors/brand and our head corch and the expectation would that this team be in the playoffs. The only thing holding us back in the eyes of fans and media is our head corch. Media and rival fans have zero faith in Mario on game days. The flip side is many of our own fans can’t hold him/program to that standard for fear it means the other side is right. The rest just don’t want to get hurt again.

Bingo, well said. I’ll add this, the Mario hate is honestly funny. While the GT hate is deserved, most of us knew this **** would take 2/3 years. Mario was never a quick fix.

It’s gotten to the point that Mario is so “overrated” that he’s slowly becoming underrated. This is the guy Bama fans pegged as Saban’s replacement 24 months ago.

People wanna talk about our “corch”, but no one ever wants to talk about Lincoln Riley.

This dude went 8-5 with the 1st overall pick at QB. A heisman winning QB who had 110 TDs in 3 seasons and he didn’t win one conference title.

Canes led all teams with preseason ACC selections (5) & Cam Ward was voted POTY.

Only 7 times in the past 20 seasons has a team been voted to finish with most ACC selections & POTY. How did those 7 fare?

- 5 of the 7 won the ACC

- 6 of the 7 won double digit games

- 5 of the 7 finished ranked top 4

- Only once did a team fail to win double digit games (08 Clemson) who’s OC that year happened to be Billy Napier.

Bringing this back! Algorithm looking good
