This year, the most redonkulous homer ballot belongs to Tech fan Ramblin Racket. His ballot has Georgia Tech as #7 (in the nation...not the ACC). In attempting to justify his thoughts, he went on to explain "How GT Can Win a 2006 Championship." Interestingly, the post doesn't start with "First, kidnap Reggie Ball and replace him with Joe Hamilton."
Did I miss something? Isn't he still at GT?
Chanixticball Fever returns to The Flats as the unholy marriage of mathematical ineptitude and on-demand implosion collides with an innovation vortex to produce an offense that consistently ranks near the bottom of the ACC.
Anti-Success Combo of Doom.
Combine a woeful offense with an overrated defensive coordinator, and you've got a consistent 7 win performer.
Wait...did I said Tenuta was overrated? Yes. John Tenuta produces a hellified run defense almost every year, but this guy has two key problems. First, his pass defense is wretched year in and year out. Second, his entire defense falls completely asleep at least twice a year.
GT Pass Defense Under Tenuta (NCAA Ranking):
- 2005: 52nd in the country
- 2004: 24th
- 2003: 60th
- 2002: 64th
- 2001: 53rd
- 2001: Clemson - 47 points
- 2001: UVA - 39 points
- 2001: Wake - 33 points
- 2002: Fresno State - 30 points
- 2003: Clemson - 39 points
- 2003: Duke - 41 points
- 2004: UNC - 34 points
- 2005: Utah - 38 points
Tenuta isn't the biggest thing holding Gailey back, and I don't want to imply otherwise. It's just that I think he is overhyped.
Chanixticball spells....NO DAMN WAY Tech is a Top 7 finisher.
