CFP Discussion

Folks, besides Ga Tech, who is your team you’d like to see in the playoffs?

Whew! I can’t think of another team I like. Maybe Georgia Southern. It would be easier to list the teams I don’t like.

I don't watch them in the years that GT is not involved. College FB doesn't really move the needle for me unless it involves my alma mater.

I’ll watch some, but I don’t have a team — it’s just watching football

Living my formative years in Chattanooga, Vols are my second favorite team.

Since my alma mater plays D-III ball, I just root for Tech.

My alma mater plays DIII football, but they're in DI. It's a problem.

When I took the SAT way back in 1979, I had to list my preferred schools in order: 1) GA Tech, 2) Auburn & 3) Colorado (Why Colorado? I do not remember). When I think of Auburn, I think of Bo Jackson. When I think of Bo Jackson, I think of the iconic Keith Jackson - Whoa Nellie! Too much nostalgia there, plus my wife went to Auburn. So I would say... War Eagle! for my back up CFP team. But it ain't happening this year.

We're 2-2, but we did score 93 points in game 2....

An ACC team

Having a second team is a sign of weakness

I'm originally from Michigan before moving to Georgia in grade school. Michigan has been my second team after GT, and I probably would have gone there if I still lived in MI during my college years.

My wife is from Michigan. A family joke that my children heard growing up was our imitating Scarlet O’Hara, “Yankees in Georgia; however did they get heah!”

It will never happen, but I would LOVE to see Army or Navy in the playoffs!

 

[UgaBlows]

Florida, Tenn, Bama, LSU- basically anyone who can knock uga out is my 2nd fav

Thanks! I’d forgotten about them.

You’re here all week I hear.

I don't understand the comment.

I don't understand the comment.

I think he is referencing Bowling Green

They were a handful for a half against Michigan. We need to be ready. Not sure they're DIII.

 

[g0lftime]

One of my degrees is from UAB. So, go Blazers!!!

Note my preference for dressy outerwear.

Like the coach. He was coaching a high school team in Nashville and tearing it up. A lot of other HS coaches there were glad to see him go.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

I don't understand the comment.

The old joke when someone lays a funny on people that has a certain groan factor. “Here all week” says the standup comic.

A bit of noise on X today about the CFP and the odds of a playoff without an SEC team. To consider that, here are my thoughts:

uga is in if they go undefeated. I do not see Missouri or Kentucky remaining undefeated.

If uga loses the SECCG to a one loss team, the SEC will not have a team if all these are true:
ACC champ is undefeated
OU/Texas winner is undefeated B12 champ
B1G champ champ is undefeated
PAC-12 champ is undefeated

The SEC might still be left out if uga loses a regular season game, but wins the SECCG if:
ACC champ is undefeated
OU/Texas winner is undefeated B12 champ
B1G champ champ is undefeated
PAC-12 champ is undefeated

It will be hard to justify a one loss SEC team in the CFP with four undefeated P5 champions. The real sticky question will be who gets left out is all five P5 champs are undefeated.
