What would be really funny is if Georgia wins anyway and this dumb motivational tactic doesn't work

Also Georgia fans winning a national championship after a long drought but having it be marred because they split it with UCF would make it doubly hilarious so I guess what I'm saying is I want Georgia to win now

I figured, except maybe Florida and Tech fans, folks would pull a bit more for UGA just due to Alabama fatigue but now the world is pulling for UCF.

If the NCAA ignores what UCF is doing, then I think it will exist only for goons to troll UGA/Bama fans, etc. The official record will almost certainly be the playoff winner, with UCF maybe added as a note.

I couldn't care less about what UCF does, and think it's a beautiful troll to the system, which will likely be expanded to 8 teams sometime soon after this year. I've watched enough UGA football over my life that they couldn't ruin it for me making it this far.

So we promoted Bryan McClendon to the OC gig full time. I'm...really not happy about this, and I'm tired of USC always just making internal moves whenever we have a chance to go out and get a difference-maker. I like B-Mac, but he's literally never been an OC before. This is a huge gamble on Muschamp's part and probably a bad one. Yeah, we won the Michigan game, but looked like absolute poo poo offensively for 2.5 quarters of it. But sure, let's be prisoners of the moment and promote this guy.

They didn't exceed expectations IMO, people who know what they are talking about and bet on this stuff have had UGA as one of the most talented teams in the country all year.

Sallee pre-season picked them for the title game.

Alabama doesn’t deserve nice things, but is swimming in a vault of trophies. This loss will not affect them negatively.

However UGA losing after waiting 37yrs for a title would be crushing and hilarious.

Well there was also the rumors floating around that Pruitt wanted him on his staff as WR coach. As it stands I'm pretty sure that's the only position that hasn't been filled, though nothing official will be announced until after the NC.

Out of curiosity, why has the NCAA never awarded titles for football? Like, what is the difference between March Madness and the College Football Playoff? The number of teams? The way the teams are selected? Are there rules the NCAA would mandate on schools that they don't want to follow?

This is true.

My point is that was some pricey hardware you can display for a 1 off motivational tactic seems like a total waste especially since there is no guarantee they aren't just gonna slot the 2018 version right back in there.
