Appeal to Outliers switcheroo

Last year, a lot of the portal haters here lived to badh Colorado and Coach Sanders for his use of the portal and cited his supposed lack of success as evidence if why the portal was a bad thing.

Now Colorado is 5-2, not a peep about Colorado here, and now the switch to bashing FSU is going full steam.

It's ludicrous. It just makes the people that did it look silly.

No you seem to be the one that looks silly. Reiterating the same BS is a bad look.

Colorado beat anybody? Not ready to say they are now successful but if you think so it’s all good.

Outliers in the way they do business that look good: OSU, Oregon, Ga, Tennessee, Texas. The portal and the buying of players is really working out. They have always been good but now it is basically a guarantee in today’s world of corrupt collectives.

To each their own Bluff but to get on here and start a thread about the success of Colorado is a bit ludicrous. Whatever fits your narrative!

intend to die on on this site, and that's fine. We all have our little pet projects. But your rolling out a very common and very boring tactic of lumping a "large" group of Tigernetters into DS haters, attributing it to his use of your favorite tools, and then mocking them.

That's disingenuous.

There are a ton of reasons to dislike DS. Some don't like him from his playing days. Some don't like him for his flashy, unapologetic persona. Some don't like him because of the comments he has made. Some don't like him for the way he addressed the Colorado players that were already there, or the fact that he hacked the team to pieces. Some are a bit tired of getting an average Colorado team in our faces more than normal because there coach is a celebrity. And yeah, some don't like his brash approach to NIL and the Portal.

It can be any one of those things...or any number of different things I didn't list. It can be some of column A and some of Column J. But that doesn't fit your narrative because your goal is to tout your vision of college football, so any negative feelings any posters have about DS has to be reduced to "Ha ha...you hate NIL and the TP but now Colorado isn't terrible."

If you were being sincere, you would address whatever Tigernetter actually, specifically said that DS's team will not be any good because of his approach to NIL or the TP. I have no doubt they are there.

Also, if anyone switched from mocking Colorado to mocking FSU, it's not unfair. The point is to highlight the fact that the transfer portal is not synonymous with team improvement, and in fact, quite the opposite can be the case. And in the case of FSU, since they were touted all offseason as the ones that have officially replaced Clemson as the ACC's King, you'll excuse Clemson fans for highlighting their...shortcomings.

There is 1 team in the country who could have used the portal in 2024, but did not (Clemson). Clemson is currently in the Top 10.

1/1 = 100%

There are 134 FBS teams. 3 are military academies (Army, Navy, Air Force can't use the portal) and 1 is Clemson. That's a total of 4 teams who did not use the portal in 2024. 134 - 4 = 130

There are 9 spots available in the top 10 (Clemson occupies 1).

9 out of a potential 130 teams in FBS who used the portal in 2024 are currently in the Top 10.

9/130 = 6.9%

There are too many variables in the Colorado scenario to claim victory for either the pro-portal or anti-portal factions. I think we can all agree using the portal is not the only change that has happened at Colorado in the past 2 years. And most of the post I've seen claiming Colorado was not evidence of portal success were responses to prior claims that Colorado was evidence of portal success.

A better measure would be to find a school with fewer variables over a longer period of time.

Instead of addressing each poster whose argument you are refuting, perhaps some qualifying statement saying that you know a lot of people might not like Sanders for any number of reasons, but anyone who specifically mocked Sanders for his NIL/TP approach should note his 5-2, unranked team. I know it’s not as “slam dunky” but it does foster a discussion.

While I do not have the results to back up my beliefs, I would imagine that teams that use the portal exclusively (see 15+ transfers in a given year) relative to teams that do not heavily use the portal will show that the win totals from year to year among heavy portal use teams will vary significantly more than teams not relying on the portal.

This isn’t to say the portal is good or bad. Just that your argument lacks the statistical power to suggest the critics of Colorado from last year were inherently wrong about portal usage when FSU from this year is an immediate counterpoint to justify the claim that when you live by the portal, you die by the portal.

You would need to examine heavy use portal teams vs non-heavy use portal teams to compare the differences in their win totals over the last 3-4 years adjusting for whether they had a coaching change or not in order to justify your argument.

I believe that depends on your definition of "turning it around". If you are basing the definition off of their record this year at 6-2 and not on whether they can sustain winning records for the next year and beyond, then yes, they have turned it around through use of the transfer portal.

One could also argue though that this logic would also apply to no transfers Navy given the two teams similar records of poor performance in recent years.

OR...radical surgery to try to improve. He's done that in 1.5 seasons.

Clemson was at the top of college football for years. Conference championships, playoffs, and two Nattys.

I realize that it's very difficult to stay that elite every year, but too many other programs have done better by being more adaptable.

We'll see how it works for Clemson as Tre season progresses.

Allow me to explain my point here. Bluffton OrangeMan, we all bore witness to the success that FSU had last season by exploiting the advantages of buying a team from the portal. The argument being made is not the fact that a team can have single season success by exploiting young men in the portal. In fact, I believe everyone here can agree that the portal can bring about success for a season. The argument that Coach Swinney and everyone else is making would be long term sustainable success in the method that Coach Swinney is implementing at Clemson.

The method that Coach Prime is using is not only costly at a price tag of $8.8M last season but does not provide long term sustainable success. In other words, it's an unsustainable business model that creates a condition of diminished returns. If Coach Swinney is able to utilize revenue sharing while recruiting his team from high school and develop them the Clemson way, then we are almost guaranteed a ticket to the big dance each and every season. NIL will be used to retain talent on the roster not to recruit talent from the portal.

Further, it is well established that players in the portal worth recruiting were already set on their school of transfer prior to entering the portal and the rest of the recruits in the portal are simply not Clemson caliber players or even worth considering. In short, it is most likely that Coach Prime and Mike Norvell tampered with players at other programs and as you can see FSU who exploited the portal again is not doing so well. Any inexperienced coach can exploit the portal and win 10 games in a single season, but it won't serve them well when the next season rolls around. Under Coach Swinney's method, the players that we recruit and retain will be at Clemson from high school until they graduate. This ensures that the player is developed under the Clemson system which establishes team cohesion and continuity in the quality of a player. Thus, Coach Swinney is 100% correct in the way he is running the recruiting process at Clemson.

The only thing that establishes is that it's speculative, based on a false premise, and confused.

Long term success??? The things you complain about are less than 3 years old.
That's not long term by any rational measure.

Dabo lost 14 guys to the portal just since the bowl game. That's not success or anything close to it.

Bragging about how Dabo develops players ignores the fact that 16% of the scholarship roster from just a year ago was "developed" for the competition.

Claiming that anyone in the portal worth recruiting were taken us a canard. Da o went after 3 portal O linemen and whiffed on all if them. That says that you don't know what you're taking about.

The bottom line is that you're making excuses for something that's not working like it should. See the really bad play by the defensive backups for the evidence.

And...you're arguing two mutually exclusive things between development and claiming that the guys that left weren't going to play much. It can't possibly be both.

Dabo is developing them, but whenever you have 5 players at one position, someone is going to ride the pine. Those players who would be riding the pine are leaving. Again, I'm not changing my story because everyone witnessed FSU win the league last season on the backs of transfer portal players. Yet, we are now witnessing the result of such a move regarding FSU. You are evading the question I asked. Which player that entered the portal from Clemson is making waves? Which one would start on our current roster?

I welcome you the opportunity to share with us a team that has used the portal and gained year after year success. UGA, Alabama, and Texas barely use the portal. However, the recruits that transfer to their programs already had a bag of cash offered to them by those respective teams before entering the portal. That is not the Clemson way, nor should it ever be. Recruit, develop, and excel players right from high school and you'll have longevity in success. Clemson already has a Top 3 NIL program in the nation and next season Dabo will be able to use revenue sharing for recruiting out of high schools which should add to his already successful recruiting history. In fact, Dabo seems to be extremely excited about that and whenever you add in 105 scholarships available starting next season, you'll see championship runs more often. Clemson has had 15 stellar seasons in a row with one slightly down season last year. Clemson is not a program in decline and using the portal to build a team shows despair. We are not a team or program in despair and will probably be back in the playoff this season.

The original post fails to provide specific examples of people who criticized Deion Sanders and Colorado last year for their use of the transfer portal but are now supposedly criticizing FSU for doing the same but ignoring Colorado. Without concrete examples, it seems to me to be a broad, baseless accusation, aiming to create a false equivalency between Colorado and FSU.

Additionally, the OP overlooks several major factors that make comparing the two programs difficult, if not impossible. There are many things that shape a team’s approach to the transfer portal, such as roster composition, experience levels, the extent of transfer portal use, coaching strategies, play styles, and even opponents.

In my opinion, the transfer portal is a good thing and can be beneficial, but as with most things in life only in moderation. Colorado’s use of it can't fairly be compared to FSU’s, as each team has its own unique circumstances and objectives in use of the TP.

It was an over-generalization, with no actual facts that you speak of. Just some generic statement about undefined groups of posters you attempt to equate to provide a basis for an absurd initial argument.

It is a fact that many posters here used last year's Colorado team as an example if how NIL and the portal didn't work

I didn't call out anyone that didn't do that.

Ergo, your response us a canard.

It is your ASSumption that those two groups of people are in fact completely the same. It is the premise of your original post, because without the entire post wouldn't make sense. Its not even debatable that you have provided no facts to support that assumption.

Ergo you created a false equivalency between those 2 groups of unnamed posters while also completely ignoring all other factors for both programs.

I am sure you can find examples to back your original point, so do as you like to tell people, do some research. But you didn't, you made an over-generalization about of groups of people. So its at best a half baked theory with no critical thought or research and at worst a disingenuous attempt at trolling.

Thank you for the admission that you provided no actual facts and simply threw out an over-generalization in order to attempt to make a very weak point.

Thank you, you are excused now.

This is a nonsensical response

You’ve been completely unable to provide any cogent response that supports your nonspecific, general castigations in your original post or refute my response to it. When challenged to back any of it up, you make weak attempts at misdirection

It seems pretty clear that when called on your falsehoods you throw out insults, start with gibberish response or completely ignore people.

Isn't my problem. If your short term memory can't remember the TNetters that demonized Colorado and Coach Sanders last season, that's not my problem. Apparently, my pointing out that competing Sanders in Year 1 to Dabo in Year 15 was sacrilege to those folks.

Obviously, my dart hit the bullseye, given the foaming at the mouth responses from so many others in this thread.

I'm not going to go back a year just to satisfy your arrogant demands for something that there's plenty of evidence for today.

If you were one of them, good for you.
If you were, then your responses here are disingenuous, to say the least.

Assuming more facts once again. Where did I say I didn’t remember them? Please point that out. This is where your posts typically break down.

I will assume you choose not to challenge my post on your weak attempt in your OP that is ripe with false equivalencies. The alternative is that you are incapable.

I don’t mind you think I am arrogant because I challenged you to back up your statements, you say that because you can’t and we both know it. You made an inflammatory (troll) statement that was so general it’s impossible to backup.

It is however a lot hypocritical to label my challenge to you as arrogant given your recent posts here in TNet and how you “speak” to people. Happy to show you that mirror as well if you wish. Sort of like your silly quip about insults being the tool of a loser which you’ve quickly abandoned.

72 out of 165 posts on this thread (to date) have been you. Not sure what that says, but probably nothing positive.

Swing and a miss. 165 - 72 = 93 that weren’t you. Not all of those were directed at you. But even if they were, half of 93 is 46.5. Let’s round up to 47.

72 > 47
