Bluechip ratio is on our side

Ole Miss appears to have more college football experience on offense than any of our opponents this season. As the same time, defensively they have less experience than any of the teams that we've played except for Florida and Ohio State.

Excellent. Thanks

I just don't get you folks. We have an advantage here and historically this has basically meant everything. I used to downplay this, but after 25 years of it basically determining the champ, it can't be ignored.

Gotta play the game, but this is a factor.

I hear what you’re saying, but at the same time, if it had been that much of a factor, Georgia should’ve smoked Ole Miss… I mean, the ratios aren’t even close

How much of a factor though? If it was a significant one then explain how much it mattered for…

IU vs Oregon earlier this year
IU vs Ohio St
IU vs Bama… which was a blowout
Miami vs ND
Miami vs A&M
Miami vs Ohio St
Ole Miss vs UGA

I haven't done a roster breakdown for Georgia, but Ole Miss appears to have the most experience on offense of any of our opponents this year. On the other hand, they have amongst the teams with the least experience on defense of any of our foes. Those advantages seem to play out in both Georgia/Ole Miss matches - high scoring contests.

lots of busts on defense against Georgia
 
I think this used to be true but isn't really anymore. Chambliss is a good example. And just look at Indiana.

It'll be interesting to re-visit the whole blue chip thing in the era of the portal. Lot's of portal dudes are studs that weren't ranked high out of highschool, I think it changes a lot about this type of backwards looking analysis related to blue chips.

Separate note - just how was it that Lane Kiffin was able to convince not one, not two, not three, but four quarterbacks to transfer to Ole Miss last offseason?
 
Historically you need a blue chip ratio above 50% to win a ship. No reason to bash OP. Portal does change things to a degree but Miami wouldn't be where they are without those 4 and 5 stars.
 
Blue chip ratio was significantly favoring AlaBama too - and they got absolutely smoked.

Ditto for Ole Miss vs Georgia.

Ole Miss will be the toughest out we have because they’re similar to us - playing with absolutely nothing to lose.

1st playoff game where we will actually be EXPECTED to win by mainstream media/public.
