I’m afraid my hate for Georgia gets the best of me. After Tech had their victory against them snatched away I am reminded for the millionth time how lucky they are. Notre Dame could run all over them and still lose. Shudder
It seems to me that on fourth and short, coaches would usually be better off going for it even deep in their own territory. If you punt from deep in your territory, the other side will most likely be breathing down your neck very soon, so just go for it. Of course, if you're in field goal range, or you have a stout defense and a weak OL, those factors might indicate a punt. But I honestly think there are many more punts on 4th and short than are warranted. Coaches are averse to going for it because of the potential blowback if they don't make it. Punt on 4th and short from the 22, and no one will criticize the decision no matter if the other team scores in short order. But go for it and get stopped and the decision will be widely criticized. That has to be in the back of coaches' minds.
Luckiest team I ever saw, I swear. Makes me hate them even more.
The playoffs are much better in my opinion than the Old and dying Bowl System. They selections were “rigged” for the Biwls.
I think it’s more that they are perpetually favored and get commensurate calls. Some of the calls by ACC refs have been the worst, not that they are above payola.

Good insight I think.
It can be an epistemological dualism also.
I agree with you 100% the they are hands down one of the "luckiest" teams in the nation. However if there is ANY team that could be luckier it would be God's team with touchdown Jesus!
I don't think Freeman even needs to make the phone call. Last year we showed Alabama how to beat them and Saban was paying attention. This year the winner of ND and IND needs to watch our game against them and the second half of the SEC championship game when Stockton was in. That will tell them all they need to know about how to beat ugag. BTW, with Beck out for the remainder of the year, ugag ain't winning anyway.
I keep saying this but I hope teams will watch Stockton’s tapes. I watched him for several years in high school. He’s a good QB but he has a flaw in his game (minor, and don’t they all) that no one has exploited yet.
Man. Why did the committee put them in, anyway, if their starting QB is out? I seem to remember hearing it's a different team when that happens.
They're not lucky, they're gifted calls by people that are on the take. Maybe not straight out bribes, but Uncle Billy gets a promotion or keeps his job, Aunt Sally gets a deal on a car, parent's rent payment never has to be paid, etc. Cheating ****s are what they are.
