Blue Chip Ratio 2024: These Teams Have Been Recruiting Well Enough To Win It All | Cover 3 Podcast

Спорт

The Cover 3 crew talks home field advantage, recruiting, Alabama, Tennessee and more. First, with EA Sports releasing its list of toughest places to play from the College Football 25 video game, a discussion on what makes a home field advantage along with some edits for their rankings. Then it's on to another edition of "Who Ya Got?!" that includes Alabama's return to Knoxville and Texas' shot at Georgia in Austin. Finally it's on to the Blue Chip Ratio reveal for 2024, which highlights that have been recruiting at a level required to win a national championship in the modern era. The crew takes a look at the teams, plus the ones just outside the cut line that could make a run at upending the trend in the expanded College Football Playoff.

Have you seen how De'bore has been Recruiting?? 😮😊Looks like we ain't going anywhere!! Just saying.. Anyways, Alabama used to be freaking loud , pumped and had everything you wanted in a home field advantage!!! I think Auburn is underrated with their visiting locker room. U have to walk right past their fan and student section in single fill line with a locker room that hasn't been touched since 1989... And there fans hate us we hate them.

    As an OU fan I think we were way too high at #8, based on previous games. BUT think about it, we’ve been playing TCU, Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Texas Tech, and Iowa State. We leave in the 4th quarter because we’re up 30+ points most games and it sucks. But now with Tennessee and Alabama coming to Norman, it’ll be louder than any other place in the country. We just have not had a game to be hyped for at home in a long time, Ohio State was probably the last one 🤷‍♂️

    Tide fan for 50+ years and yes Bryant Denny is overrated. But I think it's bc we are a spoiled fan base. There is absolutely nothing game related that would end with Tide fans rushing the field. We expect to win. That's not to say it isn't loud, it is for big games. But in the past I've been able to carry on normal conversations during a game. I hate to admit it but Jordan Hare is a more difficult place to play. So is Neyland, Tiger stadium and the Swamp. But it goes back to Coach Bryant and his "act like you've been there" attitude.

    Other places don't need to have a White Out in order to be tough places to play. And based on my 4 years at University Park, Penn State fans turn into a golf gallery if you punch the team in the nose early, and if they don't come back on the next drive, you don't really hear a peep unless something big happens later. Then if the game is decided by the 4th, it frees up the drunk kids to go downtown and riot and/or throw sh!t from their balconies in Beaver Canyon. 🤣

    While i understand the logic of the "only high school" class in blue chip it really misses the big picture. The Pac was considered the best year it had as a confernce in a long time and it was almost completely predicated on the QB's and almost all of them were portal players. When you bring in portal players at specific positions it is more important then a freshman 4 star who may never be more than a college starter.

To ignore the change to the roster makeup via portal makes the ratio kind of false in my opinion. Keon Coleman and Braden Fiske made FSU better and were blue chip. To not count them doesn't make sense to me. Lot of transfer portal guys may have been 3 stars coming out of high school but are 4 stars in the portal beacuse they got better. Fiske is good example. He may not have been blue chip in high school but he was a blue chip in the portal. This year Ohio State adds Caleb Downs and Julian Sayin but they don't count in the ratio?

If 20% of your starters are from the portal and you don't count them in your blue chip ratio as a factor in winning then what is the point? Keon was blue chip regardless of staying or leaving. If in the portal you go get a backup guard who isn't going to play they are just like any other incoming freshman for a ratio. If they are coming in to be starter then by default they have improved your roster but you don't count them in it? We coudl go back and forth but I will leave it at this. Caleb Downs is probably the best Safety, and one of the best defensive players, in the country. He is a 5-star who looks to be a perenial all american until he is a first round NFL player.

    Does the blue chip ratio include a transfer’s high school rating? For example, is Julian Sayin factored into Ohio State’s rating or is he still counted as Alabama? Or does it only consider recruiting class rankings and not the value of the talent currently on the roster? Seems to me that it only makes sense to include the current roster with their high school rating regardless of where a player was originally signed.

    It's all tied in but they're not special if they don't BS you into thinking they have some inside knowledge. Although, to be fair, they ARE generally good sources. But their conclusions, etc., leave a lot to be desired - some staff more than others. That's what you get with "advanced analytics" guys in baseball as well. They'll tell you that RBIs don't matter, then tell you that these other 12 statistics over HERE are what really matter. And if you look at them, they are really just smaller break downs that - if smashed together - would equal RBIs. 🤣 The Blue Chip Ratio is just reverse-engineered BS. If we begin to get a few exceptions, they'll re-engineer it, claim it's worth paying attention to, and assume we won't remember that they had a different formula made the same claims about until it eventually didn't work. It's basically seeing that all of 2023's MLB playoff teams won at least 84 games, then me coming out with my "Rule of 84" for MLB. 🤣 Take care.
