I like not having an SEC team in the final. I had begun to feel sorry for Michigan since they have made the playoffs so many times without doing much once they got there. Maybe the SEC PR machine will be quieter for awhile.
I must be the most naive guy around. When this game was first announced, I thought FSU would want to show the world they belonged in the big show by beating Georgia.
We might benefit from this foolishness one day. With the right culture and not as many superstars as some programs, we might...
I understand players not wanting to be injured and ruining their chance to transfer, but I hate it. Teams play schedules of their conferences and patsies. Far from meaningless, the bowls are the chance to see conferences play against each other. Or did. When I see all the FSU starters not...
At the beginning of the year, I saw a few good offensive skill players and little more. I couldn't imagine ending up with much of a team with that to work with. And yet we can play with about anyone at this point. I think all of the coaches -- and players -- are owed a big shout out.
Fred, the bowl season is our best chance to chip away at the perception that we ate a weak league. I believe this has already hurt us in the FSU situation, and it sill again.
Is it possible that the reason Alabama got in was because the committee thought the vast SEC viewing audience wouldn't watch if no SEC team was included?
Northeast, I'm still gonna watch and hope for a beat down by FSU.
So we hear that the selection committee was told to try to pick the four best teams to ensure competitive games and thus good tv ratings. Who exactly did the telling? It gripes me to no end that the goal of the playoffs is now to have the highest ratings instead of finding the champion.
Northeast, I have no idea how the opting out will fall out. But i' m thinking two teams furious about being left out will play their butts off. Like you I think FSU will win. Neither Georgia nor Alabama looked as good as they often do.
This mess is the fault of the auburn defensive coordinator. Had he not rushed only two on the last play of the game last week, Bama and Georgia would have been eliminated.
One basic thing that occurs to me is we need to always go after QBs who can run. In many of our games the quarterback option was a huge play. And as others have said, we must hang on to our OC.
I was expecting this game to look like Clemson 2. Was so pleased to see our offense look do good. Two plays haunt me. The first is I think we should have gone for the 4th and 1 in the ref zone. We needed every point considering we could not stop them. The second was the holding call against...
I have a hard time believing Clemson has lost 4 games. I don't expect them to lose any more this year. I had thought that being competitive with UNC, Miami, and Ole Miss we might be competitive with Clemson. We were not. We were completely outclassed in speed and athleticism. And as 78 said...
