Ga/Tenn who you got, who you want?

[BigAlinKnoxville]

My head is warming up to those ideas! And that's why I really believe we'd beat them in a rematch.

Me personally? I want to see UT dominate UGA. I hope it's not even close!

Yep. And then give us our rematch with them when it really counts.

If Georgia loses to Tennessee, Georgia will not make the playoffs unless....... Their only path at that point is hoping Clemson loses, TCU loses, and Bama (if we make it) loses to UT in the SECCG.

Unless Clemson loses to Notre Dame, I guess maybe they have a chance to lose to North Carolina in the ACCCG, but meh, I doubt it. TCU, I think that bubble pops this month. If Bama makes it to the SECCG and beats UT.....Bama is in, UT is in, the winner of Ohio State/Michigan is in, and then.......who knows.

I'm hoping ND beats Clemson. They'd get blown out in the playoff.

TCU has Texas Tech, @ Texas, @ Baylor, and Iowa State....then probably vs KSU again. They could lose any of those games.

Michigan/Ohio State winner is the BIG10 champ outside of a B10CG upset. Does a 1 loss of either one, that doesn't make their championship game, get in over a 1 loss Georgia that also didn't make their championship game? Committee won't put 3 SEC teams in.

Then you've got the PAC 12 winner.....if Oregon wins out.....if USC wins out, both have 1 loss.

This is fun, as usual. It all shakes out in the end.

Dare I say the CFP would be even more interesting if it was 8 teams this year?

But I have to ask a sincere question, since I'm not that familiar with the post-BCS ranking schemes. Does the "quality" of a win or loss still make a difference? Let's say that Tennessee beats Georgia, but they do so by one point because Georgia misses a PAT in the fifth overtime. Would that leave Georgia ranked higher than if the Vols blew them out 56-3?

I'm excited to see Drake Maye vs Clemson. That kid is legitimately good.

I know at one time he was committed to Bama. Did he change his mind after BY committed?

I think this year, yes. There is no elite team that's really separated itself from the pack.

2021 - Georgia was the "best D ever"
2020 - Bama was the best team ever.
2019 - LSU was the best team ever.
2018 - Bama was the best team ever, until Clemson was.

In years past, we usually see 2 or 3 teams separate themselves. This year, things could get really interesting.

I look for Georgia to use ball control offense to keep the Vols offense on the sideline.I’ll take the Bowers and the Bulldogs to cover.Nobody on the field is as good as Bowers.

I think things like that depend on how the committee feels that day. Their logic or explanations always seem to be all over the place. And this year, with no teams separating themselves, I think their logic will sound flawed in the end.

 

[CoolBreeze]

i believe the dawgs curbstomp vomit. We had the entire world against us in that game, in obnoxiousville, puke everywhere, refs bought and paid for, tv people...everything lined up against us. We won the game three times and the zebras just took it away. Still even, viles win by last minute field goal. Between the hedges they get mauled and I for one cannot wait to see it.

I think that's what CNS/BOB planned to do. But we got punched in the nose so fast our head was spinning the whole first quarter.

I do wonder what will happen in Georgia got up fast on UT. How will they respond?

UT hasn't had a game when it didn't click. They are due for that, but I kinda just wish they'd plug along until we got another shot at them and then just implode!

Having 4 teams is why the regular season matters. Bama is in a playoff game every week right now. TN/UGA is a playoff game. The loser is likely out. With 8 teams it does not matter. OSU/UM matters, it is a playoff game. Expanding to 8 or 12 or heaven forbid 16, makes it just like the basketball tournament. For all the attention the tournament gets, most of the games go the way they are supposed to. There are upsets just by the sure number of games, but basically the entire regular season does not matter. I really do not want that to happen to college football, but I do realize I am a lone wolf in this area.

Kind of highjacked the thread, sorry. I think UGA wins at home. I just do not believe UGA will give up 49 pts at home. Their coaches will make changes before that happens.

I want UGA to win. I want us to win out and beat UGA in the SEC championship. Us to go to the CFP and TN to get left out and they lose their minds bc we are in and they beat us. I live in MEM and these fans are coming out all over the place right now and I would love nothing better. That would be better to me than beating them in a rematch.

 

[78Alum]

I think that Georgia wins at home. However, I am pulling for the puke orange. I want another shot at them.

 

[We_are_Bama]

UcheaT and it won't be close. UGA has played NOBODY this year and has looked very pedestrian against some inferior competition. As bad as I hate to, I'm pulling for the viles because I want them again. UcheaT is absolutely clicking and they believe that they can go into Athens and win. They aren't intimidated by road games, as they've already showed. They will gas UGA's defense

Whether we like it or not, the CFP is expanding, but since this year there are a lot of undefeated or 1 loss teams, I see some reality to how some years more teams might help determine the best team.

BTW, I don't think UT is out of it if they lose to UGA in a competitive game. The committee values their win over us. It's why they were placed at #1 in the first CFP poll.

I think a tie would be hilarious.

I agree the CFP is expanding just not a fan of it but I will have to deal with it.

Assuming UGA beats TN, IF we win the SEC, I believe UT is out. We would be in as a one loss conference champion. If the committee takes a second SEC team it would be UGA not UT. They beat UT and would be East champions, and they will not take 3 teams from the SEC. Now if we lose, then UT absolutely still has a chance getting in with UGA. Bama still has to win out.

A lot of other teams still hanging out there this year. I think a lot will need to happen (and it very well could) for the committee to take two SEC teams this year. At the end of the year they also value conference championships, something they currently are not doing bc they cannot. Currently TCU and Clemson are still undefeated, Org, USC, UCLA all have one loss. Assume MI/OSU winner is in. The loser has an argument as much as a second SEC school and then the committee will have to knock 2 of the other conference champs out. A lot of football left to be played so it is really too early to be making these arguments, but I guess my point is we really cannot assume two SEC teams are in right now, no matter how good they may be. Now if these other conferences end up with 2 loss conference champions it will be different. Like I said A LOT of football left to play.

 

[92tide]

as much as i want jawjuh to face plant, i just don’t buy the hype on the viles. and i don’t know that they have the capacity to handle being #1

i think jawjuh wins handily, but i will be perfectly ok with being wrong

Before.

 

[sanjosecrimson]

Our defense has performed the absolute worst against this UT team compared to any other power 5 opponent they've played. Rest assured Georgia's defense will play them MUCH better than we did. Especially at home.

agree! Bama had a record setting 17 penalties, stupid miscues, and was down 28-10 on the road and still had a chance to win. let that sink in...

 

[KrAzY3]

I hope Tennessee wins because I think a rematch would be great for Alabama. However, I expect Georgia to win...
