I am still leaning towards OU. They have playoff experience PLUS a really good O.
BUT, can their D stop Jawja?

Marcus Mariota was a junior who hands down won a Heisman Trophy and had other weapons on offense.He is a Senior who hands down won the Heisman trophy and has other weapons on offense. Georgia starts a true freshman QB.That will be the difference. Oklahoma will hang 35 on the Dawgs with no issue.
It could also be a little bit of gamesmanship being played , I would guarantee that Mayfield does not miss this gameSo, on fox and espn we have heard Baker Mayfield is "a little under the weather" to he has missed team functions and "will he play?"
Sounds like they are setting up hero status for "playing sick" or excuse for losing.

That wouldn't surprise me at allI agree he definitely will play. I'm just saying the media is doing what they do.
He'll be a hero player because he won even though he was the sickest any football player has ever been.
If they lose it was well BM was sick ala Colt excuse.
I wonder if he had an overzealous crotch grab.....that caused his sickness.....So, on fox and espn we have heard Baker Mayfield is "a little under the weather" to he has missed team functions and "will he play?"

Bingo - we have a winner.That and keeping him from running his mouth to the press.
Congrats on your grandchild, may we both see our teams in the grand finaleI hope all my Tide friends had a wonderful Christmas. I certainly did, and was blessed by having my first great grandchild there for his first Christmas. I have read all the comments, all I can say is I have no idea how this will play out. One thing that hasn't been mentioned, Lincoln Riley is a great offensive mind, he has shown a real ability to make adjustments, usually not huge ones, but mostly small things to counter a defense. This is Lincoln Riley's team, not Baker Mayfield's. You know that I want a Bama/OU title game. The big boys in college football should show the country how it's done. Good Luck against Clemson.
BOOMER SOONER ROLL TIDE
They had one of 50 and one of 75 so........done.....I expect at least 2 really long TD runs for GA.
So, how do you feel, now, about that Oklahoma defense?Have watched a lot of video the last 24 hrs of both Georgia D and the Sooner O. More convinced than ever this could be an OU rout. OU uses a ton of misdirection and so many weapons on O pretty much forces the D to focus on the one that it thinks will hurt them the least. Roquan Smith is very good but he did get beat badly at times and was out of position a lot against Mizzou and Auburn part 1. Interestingly also I thought was that he and Mayfield ( who I assume that RS will be spying) are almost the exact same height and weight.
Both ND and the barn showed that the vaunted dawg run game with Michel/Chubb can be slowed down. OU D is used to playing a lot of snaps and I think will perform better than has been expected by most on here.
