2020 ttun Shenanigans, Arguments, and Surrender Cobras (Confirmed COWARDS!)

[BB73]

In the midst of the health crisis, should we consider social distancing from mocking our rival?




Who am I kidding? FUCK these pricks. UTQTFS.

 

[colobuck79]

Here's a couple good examples of social distancing.

Here's a couple good examples of social distancing.

You forgot the best one...

 

[Jaxbuck]

Pretty responsible behavior from TGII I think

 

[Abenaki]

Distancing you say?

 

[Dryden]

I'm practicing social distancing like Jabrill Peppers trying to tackle JT Barrett in the open field.

Morgan Trent might very well have been the most responsible sumbitch to ever live.

All I got out of this is that Dudek is underpaid.

Re: Meanwhile, their Director of Recruiting Matt Dudek (who makes $204,000 a year) is grocery shopping, home-schooling his kids & making 'substitute teacher' videos.

He sucks at making the videos as bad as he does in recruiting:

Remember this thread from last season?

I have compared the current rosters for Ohio State and Michigan to see which is more talented, and by how much. I used the 247 Composite rating for each player. Of course, I could not factor player development into the equation, so lets just assume that it is equal for both teams (although I suspect that Ohio State does a better job of player development despite [spoiler alert!] having much better talent to begin with).

A quick glance at the charts should tell you all you need to know: There is lots of scarlet at the top and lots of blue at the bottom.

Here are the top 50 players broken down into groups of ten:

01-10: Ohio State 7, Michigan 3
11-20: Ohio State 9, Michigan 1
21-30: Ohio State 6, Michigan 4
31-40: Ohio State 8, Michigan 2
41-50: Ohio State 5, Michigan 5

So Ohio State has 35 of the top 50 players (70%), while Michigan has only 15 (30%). It is very difficult to beat a team when your opponent has more than twice as many top end players as you do, and that is exactly the position in which Michigan finds itself. In football terms, Ohio State can field an entire team of 22 players, plus 13 reserves, from top-50 recruits, while Michigan can barely field a single unit (offense or defense) from top-50 recruits.

Things get a little bit better for Michigan in the second 50 players:

51--60: Ohio State 5, Michigan 5
61--70: Ohio State 6, Michigan 4
71--80: Ohio State 6, Michigan 4
81--90: Michigan 6, Ohio State 4
91-100: Ohio State 5, Michigan 5

In the second group of 50 players, Ohio State still holds a slight edge, 26 to 24, or 52% to 48%. Among the top-100 players, Ohio State has 61 while Michigan has only 39. Note that Ohio State has almost as many top-50 players (35) as Michigan has top-100 players (39).

Michigan owns the rest of the chart, which is not a good thing. Of the bottom 58 players, 39 (67%) belong to Michigan, while only 19 (33%) are with Ohio State. (Note that place kickers, punters, long snappers are not rated).

Ohio State has 80 players on the chart, while Michigan has 78 players. Here's how the two teams compare by percentage of players in the top-50, second-50, and bottom-58:

Program	Top-50	2nd-50	Bottom-76
Ohio State Buckeyes	35/80 (43.75%)	26/80 (32.50%)	19/80 (23.75%)
Michigan Wolverines	15/78 (19.25%)	24/78 (30.75%)	39/78 (50.00%)

Here's another way to look at this: Each team has roughly the same number of players on its current roster (80 for Ohio State, 78 for Michigan). The midpoint player for Ohio State is #40, for Michigan #39. Ohio State's #40 player is Jordan Fuller (0.9403 rating), who places at #59 overall (37th percentile). Michigan's #39 player is Erick All (0.8937 rating), who places at #98 overall (62nd percentile).

Finally, the average rating for Ohio State's players is .9308, and the average rating for Michigan's players is .9020. To people who don't know recruiting, three points might not seem like a huge talent gap. However, take your favorite football simulator game; give every player on one team a score of 93; give every player on the other team a score of 90; play fifteen games, and see which team wins fourteen of them.

I haven't completely updated the rosters yet, but James Yoder ain't lying - the GAP IS WIDENING.

Here are the top 50 players on the combined Ohio State/Michigan rosters, broken down into groups of ten:

01-10: Ohio State 9, Michigan 1
11-20: Ohio State 9, Michigan 1
21-30: Ohio State 8, Michigan 2
31-40: Ohio State 7, Michigan 3
41-50: Ohio State 5, Michigan 5

Last season, Ohio State had 35 of the top 50 players (70%) on the combined rosters, with 19 of the top 25 (76%).

This season, Ohio State has 38 of the top 50 players (76%) on the combined rosters, with 22 of the top 25 (88%), and 30 of the top 34 (88.2%).

And when you look at that gap and see that of those 38, only 6-7 Buckeyes from that list were really contributors in the ass-kickings handed out the last couple years, so when the rest of these guys start seeing the field, the gap should become even MORE apparent.

There is too much blue on that table.
