And that is after only playing 2 teams with a pulse, and 6 cupcakes.

How is this acceptable when you pay your coach 11M?

I fixed it. I think I was looking at YPG.

Anyway, the defense is #51.

Yards per Game (YPG) is how total offense is measured***

Could you define for me what it means to have a pulse in subjective terms? Or is that simply an objective measure to belittle the wins and highlight the losses

The combined overall record of these teams is 19 wins and 30 losses. Weak schedule.

Right but what constitutes a team having a pulse vs not having one? I've seen that a bunch this week and don't know what that really means, so I am beginning to assume its just a fun catch phrase?

Your numbers include the losses we handed them. I would look at the opponents like this, which is their record outside of playing us since you logically shouldn't "penalize" us for beating teams at the same time "rewarding" teams when they beat us

UGA = 6-1
App state = 4-3
NCST = 5-3
Stanford = 2-6
FSU = 1-7
Wake = 4-3
UVA = 4-3
Louisville = 5-3

Objectively that tells me we are 2-0 against teams with a losing record and 4-2 against teams with a winning record outside of playing us.

So back to my question, how does one put some sort of objective definition around what "having a pulse" means? If you're going by record as you did above, whats the difference between a 5-3 Louisville and a 5-3 NCST (or 4-3 App, Wake or UVA)? If there are other things people are looking at to determine which opponents have a pulse, cool, I want to know too.

It’s all relative, compared to where we should be, those teams are cupcakes.

Yeah I’m not disagreeing that, it’s not a great schedule. We also didn’t make the schedule

But that wasn’t my question. What makes 2 of the 6 teams with winning records the ones with “a pulse” besides the fact that they beat us?

I’m leaning towards it was a catchy phrase to drag Clemson.

Then don’t watch it

Don’t complain about the team or throw out barbs on how much someone makes just to prove your point

I think a top 10 offense is great and we can’t control that the other teams play their opponents

Before Saturday night, our low defensive ranking was cause we got a lot of backups in because of successful offense performances

Clemson will fix it.

We need better D players, depth and much better coaching on that side of the ball.

Clemson is #68 in total defense. Dabo is worth the money. Wes Goodwin isnt. Dabo has won just as many national championships an Ohio State has in 22 years. Clemson has won more (Natty’s) than Ohio State since 1971. We could claim three to four pre-poll era. I digress, he’s earned his pay.

Does he need to clean the cupboard? Yes. I count four to five position coaches and one coordinator. He needs to hire the best money can buy. Fire the nepotism hires.

Total defense is a legitimate stat and takes into account many factors. Not just yards. Not just scoring. It’s totality of play.

show me the metrics rankings that account for what is happening when the game is on the line and opponents not garbage stats. That’s what the CFP uses. Seriously, what is our ranking on O and D right now? who’s got current SP+ #s or even FPI for O and D?

I did my own analysis of the total offense to toal defense spreads.
When calculaing the RMS of total defense to total offense correlations for the top 25 ranked teams and not considering win loss records or strength of a schedule, just the spread between offense and defensive performance to gage the total strength of a team. Based on this I think Georgia will lose another game. Indiana has a razor thin chance to beat Ohio State and a better chance to beat Penn St. We are going to have the advantage on Pitt, but not by alot.
