none of that matters. you're trying to say oregon should be in. they shouldn't. they rot like hot garbage. they suck straight up real style. put maryland in over oregon, at least that'll be funny. you can watch a team be a total mess from start to finish instead of this pathetic mewling trash team that loses in the most boring way to fuckin georgia or godforbid something that lets michigan dick their way by total accident into the national championship (where they will get emasculated by whatever warm body they play)

Watching Oregon lose to Georgia by 48 points again while Bo Nix does increasing dumb weird poo poo would be extremely funny. I don’t really give a poo poo who fills the spot, but it shouldn’t be Tennessee (division losers) or Clemson (trash team, weak schedule) so there aren’t a whole lot of options but whatever put in Tulane if they win out.

Rice needs 1 more win for bowl eligibility and they have WKU, Texas State, and UTSA left.

It’s not only possible but likely that A&M misses a bowl the same year Rice makes one. That feels like a kind of “Happened all the time before WW2 and never since” thing.

Let's see, UTSA is already eligible. Tech will need to win 2 of last 3 (Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa State. I think they can do it.) Houston needs 1 with East Carolina, Temple and Tulsa left. SMU needs 1 with Tulsa, Tulane (fat chance), and Memphis left.

Unfortunately, UTEP needs to win out with UTSA and FIU remaining, so they probably won't make it.

But we were real close to all the FBS Texas teams being bowl eligible except the Aggies.

I can't help but wonder if this season marks the end of the Saban dynasty years at Bama.

Between last season and this season the team felt like instead of having one or two close shaves per season that it was often flirting with disaster and their luck was bound to run out, and it ran out tonight.

I don't know how much of it could be put onto the OC (which would be fixable), onto Nick losing his edge (not so fixable) or maybe this team just isn't as strong in the trenches as some of the recent championship teams.

It's weird rooting for a dynasty that expects to make the playoff every year but it just feels that despite having a lot of really good parts this team just didn't have the ability to oppose its will on opponents like some of the teams in the recent past.

I really thought UGA might get burned by Tennessee, but wow the Dawgs shut them down. I wonder how the rain affected that game in the second half, either way.

Also, Brian Kelly is a bad man, but apparently has high density balls.

Saw the last few minutes of Clanga-Auburn.

Cadillac might can surprise somebody if he reestablishes the rushing game. Bigsby actually was a factor. Ashford did a lot with his legs . But the problem is that Ashford is poop from a butt passing and if they get behind the sticks, all that newfound energy isn't going to help.

Mississippi State worries me a bit. Their offense looks horrible, but it's Leach. Leach can sometimes unlock dark magic and he doesn't care who he has to sacrifice to get it. It won't be a conentional game.

No, you're dark-side intergalactic encyclopedia salesmen. Unfortunately, the home office hasn't been quite upfront with you.

Good fit, Brian Kelly is not a super recruiter but LSU has a built-in recruiting floor and Kelly is great at the real parts of coaching.

Well it worked great for UGA last year after getting trounced by Bama in the SECCG. Sometimes the joke might get flipped.

My prediction is we will end up with only 2 undefeated teams, UGA and winner of OSU/MI (Tennessee fans will be big Texas fans next weekend). The other 2 teams in the CFP will be Tennessee and either PAC-10 champ or loser of OSU/MI. Tennessee will have wins against 2 of the top 10 with its only loss against the #1 team. So it will have one of the strongest resume of any 1 loss team. The other spot? I think that comes down to how close the OSU/MI game is vs how much they value a 1 loss PAC-10 champ.

That said lots of ifs. If TCU wins out (if that happens they should be 3rd) it gets a lot more interesting for that 4th spot. Also it is possible you could end up with a 2 loss PAC-10 champ. What if Ole Miss wins out and beats UGA in the SECCG?

Either way UGA should win it all (they are just stacked), but stranger things have happen.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

ISU needs to win two if Okie State, Texas Tech, and TCU to get bowl eligible. I didn’t think they had a chance, but Okie State has looked terrible the last two weeks so now I’m thinking maybe they can pull this off. Still only give them odds of like 1/4 to make a bowl this year though.

Eh, I put no stock in the offensive numbers in any game played in that part of the country. I live there and we got over 3 inches of rain with routine 30-40 mph wind gusts. Unless you were fine with running the T, you weren't putting up stats. If SMU - Houston was played there it would have been a 6-3 final.

Few things now that I've slept on it: Tennessee is very good this year and I'm glad that Vol fans have something to actually love about their football team after the past however many seasons. It will be interesting seeing how things go for them next season due to the number of seniors and super seniors on the roster now. If Heupel is the real deal, Tennessee needs to keep it at about 9+ wins next season and a run the following season.

Our defense did its job. Lots of talking heads forgot that we have one of the best pass rushes and QB pressure rates in the country and it was clear that the pressure kept Hooker from being his normal self. We contained the run to keep second and short which seems like the magic sauce for stopping the Vol offense. Crowd showed up and helped cause disruptions and I really think if it didn't start raining, we would have kept the foot on the gas in the 3rd. We had a 9 minute soul crushing drive in the middle of the third due to weather but nothing about the gameplan says that we wouldn't have wanted to try to hang 50 to make a statement.

I don't really know what to say about Alabama. Looking at roster compositions, they are clearly one of the most talented rosters in the country. I don't know if its NIL and a "You cant make me run, Nick!" type of deal, I don't know if it is coordinator attrition, or if Saban has just lost a step. Last year they bullshitted themselves through a few games with Bama magic, and this year they could easily have another two losses to Texas or A&M. I think BoB gets fired or hired away in the offseason. I think the team just looking lost and being so undisciplined is what strikes me because that has never been an issue under Saban.

Georgia wasn’t playing around with our bullshit Saturday afternoon. They gave our O-line trouble like they hadn’t seen before - presnap penalties and getting to QB with little difficulty. Hooker came up short in the intermediate parts of the field, which had been kind of recurring throughout the season. Tennessee kept trying to make it happen though and Georgia continued its soul crushing brand of football.

Alabama lost and I just don’t think Saban is the man for the job tbh.

lol Clemson

Tennessee will drop to #4 because whatever. It doesn’t have to make sense.

I’ll be pulling for Texas next week against TCU. It’ll be a battle of 1st half game plan, utilizing 2nd half adjustments, and remembering the game is 60 minutes. I haven’t watched TCU yet this year and I feel like I’m missing out on a good storyline there.

I agree with all of this. I’m curious who all turns up on Tennessee’s roster after an unprecedented 2nd year from Heupel. The success and opportunity in continuing it has to be attractive for recruits and transfers.

UGA’s game script really seemed to be “jump out in front and make Tennessee chase.” Idk if the rain dampened that plan as well but simply put, UGA offense executed well against mismatches. How the gently caress do you defend a guy who should be an OT but here he is playing TE?

It's remarkable how listless Bama's offense can look under BoB. If he survives another year in Tuscaloosa then Saban has definitely checked out.

On the other hand, racing the score would have given us our best chance to get back in it. My dad and I were actually joking going in to halftime that offensive coordinators should have a "get back" guy who reminds them to start grinding the clock.
