I think even on SZD this week they phrased Oregon's game as "scrimmaging" Colorado and boy ain't that the truth.

Washington comes to town next weekend and that should be much more interesting.

I would guess both teams get in? I was thinking that Ole Miss had a chance if they beat Bama, but they needed LSU to lose against Bama first since LSU best Ole Miss.

I think they've slowly gone from "loving terrible" to "really bad". OSU is a really good rushing team and UW's rush D looked... competent?

Go 2-1 the rest of the year and I'm pretty happy. Still can't believe we lost to ASU

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.

My best guess is that he can’t use his traditional style of coaching and discipline on the team in the era of the transfer portal as they can just goddamn leave if they want to. I mean look how the Dolphins went for him when he went somewhere without a captive audience. It’s not apples to apples but that empowerment of the players (a very good thing mind you) likely has been bad for his way of doing things.

So I don't know where to fall on it, but some connected folks on UGA boards are discussing how Kirby has adapted to NIL and his big thing is that he isn't going to bag chase stars and that NIL come when you show you can perform. Obviously he can''t run point on getting kids NIL deals (wink wink) but at the same time, trying to find kids that buy into the program first and NIL second seems to be a key. We also took zero kids in the transfer portal, though word is we looked around even for depth. I dunno. Maybe this is the one big CFB change that Saban just can't adapt to fully like he has for everything else.

It very well could be. Dude’s over 70 now and coaches nearly half his age are also having trouble with it. I’m not sure what the solution could be, maybe had things over more to the assistants and be more of a figurehead? That doesn’t seem to be his MO and god knows doing that with BoB hasn’t done great for us.

And it made one-eighth the difference.
It's funny that the Alabama dynasty is over after two close losses to Top Ten teams on the road.

Granted, considering the standards Alabama has been playing with in the Saban era and how they played against other teams this season, this isn't necessarily an overreaction.

So the current playoff picture should include:

1. At least one SEC team, likely Dawgs
2. At least one Big 10 team, tOSU or Michigan
3. ? TCU if they win out?
4. ?? Pac champ? Second SEC team (if two loss LSU beat Dawgs in SECCG)? What?

LSU can certainly still drop a game and give Ole Miss a shot. A&M game isn’t a gimme.

He finally landed on two duds in the OC lottery. If he gets someone good after BoB leaves I imagine they’ll be right back to where they were. They can survive being flawed on defense but their offense needs to be consistent. Tom Herman would probably be a good hire. If Kingsbury gets let go from the Cardinals I can see him doing a redemption tour there.

I think that 4 spot is 1-loss USC if they're the PAC champ, and a 2nd SEC team if Oregon is the champ (depending on how the SEC shakes out). Clemson may still be a possibility if 2-loss LSU wins the SEC and ND wins out.

The worst loss is still Oregon getting outclassed in every way by Georgia. If nothing else, Georgia is highly likely to be a participant in the playoff, so I don't think the committee will have a strong pull to run that game back.

It was weird because it felt like every time I looked OSU was getting like 6-8 yards on a run but I guess they just couldn't get any short yardage stuff.

And yeah losing to ASU was embarrassing but it just means we're getting thrashed next week as an unranked or low ranked team rather than a fraudulent top 15ish team.

SMU beat Houston 77-63.

16 passing TDs combined. Defense a four letter word as UH gets 77 put on it for the first time.

Can’t really explain the collapse after being so good last year, but Dana has to start being held accountable at some point and he can’t stay unless UH is that committed to being the new Big 12 doormat.

Yeah my bama fan family are demanding all the coaches except Saban be fired. This team is still better than that one that got killed by Oklahoma a decade ago , so it's not like Saban can't bounce back. It's just really funny to treat a couple coin flip losses on the road like the end of the road

To be fair they squeaked by Texas and a&m, they really aren't a great team this year, but c'mon. Meanwhile im mad Illinois had a stupid loss because they've played absolutely no one all year and should actually be undefeated before losing by 60 to Michigan

It’s not just year though. Last year they nearly dropped 2 in the regular season too. It isn’t that they can’t be great but that there are cracks beginning to show that can’t be covered up by pure talent
