It’s not that he picked Georgia to win the natty in his college football prediction piece. Oh, sure, it’s a little weird, but not overly so. It’s that he criticized the genius.
Albeit in a sort of backhanded way…
Georgia Tech is 6-16 under Collins, who has recruited at a higher level than his predecessor, though it would be hard to recruit with less oomph than Paul Johnson.
Dang. It must a stung a little as he wrote that.

That IS weird. I meam, how many hate clicks can a guy get ftom Tech fans? Maybe he lost a bet or something.

We like to poke Collins and his 404 nonsense but he is recruiting at nearly the same pace as Mullen.

It’ll be harder to maintain at Tech than Florida. Plus, IMHO Collins’s recruiting is over achieving and Crabby Dan, long may he reign, is holding Florida back.

He doesn’t have to suck up to Paul the Johnson for interviews anymore, so meh, Johnson is disposable.

He had a momentary lapse and honesty broke through. Wont/didn’t last long. Like a TIA.

Well that does it. If Bark Madly pick UGA we are in for it. The season will not go well.

Bradley serves as the old reverse barometer when it comes to prognosticating the fates of local teams. Hopefully this is one of those broken-clock-right-twice-a-day moments for him.

6-6 is optimistic for Tech

Georgia, Clemson, ND and NC are high percentage losses. So you need to find 6 wins out of the other 8 games.
We’ll call Northern Illinois, KSU wins.
You are 2-4 with Pitt, Duke, Virginia, VA Tech, Miami and BC, where you have to find 4 more wins. I just don’t see it.
Very best case is 5-7 for this team and you can make a strong case for 4-8 or 3-9.

It shows how desperate Mark Bradley is for readers. Printing a Georgia wins it all prediction in Atlanta is guaranteed to increase readers.
It would be nice if this one time he was right and he had to cover the celebration in Athens. Beyond that FTMF and the AJC.

The “Collins is recruiting much better than CPJ,” thing is drives me nuts, because it’s irrelevant coming from the option. The triple plugs talent into a different “talent-to-success” algorithm than the rest of cfb (hamstringing recruiting in the first place so much that it wouldn’t even out for most programs).
Collins runs some “normal” cfb offense so of course he recruits way better than CPJ, but now Tech’s talent’s plugged into the same algorithm as everyone else, so he has to recruit WAY better than CPJ to be more successful.
I think I’m stating the obvious, but feels like Tech folks can’t help but think “we had stretches like 2nd-1st-2nd-1st in the division with classes ranked 43-53-70-54, so imagine what’s possible with these top-30 classes.” Even assuming Collins is at least an average culture/scheme coach, answer is… probably about the 30th best team in the P5.

Bradley is making sense in his own way there. The Genius didn’t win because of lousy players rather than a failure in scheme. And truthfully, the Genius did not recruit well. Only time Mark Bradley ever spoke the truth in his column about anything.
