Championship games

Just finished watching Christmas movies and decided I would come on here to ask if Georgia ever got any targeting calls. I’ll try to catch up on this thread now.

I think a GT / Clemson match in the acccg would be more exciting than this

So would Syracuse, Louisville and Miami. SMU looks awful.

SMU doing the ACC thing.

SMU and Clemson could have the best half of CFB all year with Clemson pulling out an epic 45-42 win and the committee will still slide SMU back behind Bama. Would love to be proven wrong but I have no faith in them

Texas: 31 yards rushing on 28 attempts

They'd have had a lot more with manning in there Ewers is a statue couldnt' take advantage of the gaps.

Must have a really terrible RB coach.... I kid I kid

 

[stinger78]

True, but SMU can't afford to get blown out. They need to make this game a lot closer.

The committee already indicated that they wouldn’t drop a team out for losing a CCG, didn’t they?

That was shocking after Wisner ran it down A&M’s throat last week and we did the same to uga (and UMass the week before for that matter). CFB is weird. I think Texas would’ve benefited from having a larger Arch Manning package where they used him in RPO’s like we did King. Maybe the 3rd time around they’ll try that out…

A few weeks ago they did, but on Tuesday the CFP chairman (Warde Manuel) hedged when he was asked if they’d drop SMU out if they lost

Now you’re getting all legalistic. It’s a beauty pageant and beauty is in the eye of the playoff committee.

LOL. Unless SMU gets competitive they are out

You can listen to NFL official guys every week, all former officials or HEAD of NFL officials and their opinions very and are all over the place. Believing one is fools gold. If you asked 6 the opinions would range from 4-2 to 2-4 either way.

If you actually know and understand the rule it is clear why the one against Texas was overturned properly. Targeting includes contact with the "crown" or top part of the helmet. In this instance the Texas defender turns as he makes the hit and the side of his helmet makes contact with the gaggers helmet while a good part of the force on the hit is actually shoulder to shoulder. It is similar to a play the gagger fans keep trying to claim was targeting in our game in the end zone. Neither are targeting. This is also the same type of hit the gaggers put on Marvin Harrison Jr in the game against Ohio State last year that they are adamant was not targeting.

However, on the hit by #17 on King, he CLEARLY looks straight at the ground and makes initial contact with the top (otherwise known as the crown) of his helmet right into the bottom of Kings facemask which nearly comes off King's head before he then hits King's chest and then the ball. If you know anything about physics it is obviously about as textbook of a targeting call as there is.

Too many here have Georgia PTSD. This game was Calle evenly. Texas has played 2 games against current Top 25 teams. Georgia twice and lost both times. They should be between 10-12 in the CFP rankings.

Some people have no rooting interest and just enjoy watching the games. Some people think every call go against their team. Some people are level headed and can see when certain calls are being overlooked for one team and not the other.

Then there’s the viewpoint that everything is right in the world and anyone complaining about calls is dead wrong because they aren’t a rational person.

I could’ve responded to countless posts that you’ve made “root4gt”, but at some point you have to quit bending over for the opposition and realize that the officials can, and have made recent games a nonlevel playing field.

Not all Tech fans are irrational, in fact most aren’t. But I will say that the one(s) that constantly beat the drum of saying the rest of us can’t see what’s really happening is unbecoming to the said one(s).

You never go against an SEC team when the college football playoff is on the line!

Ha! Playoff?

Fandom has that effect. We saw plenty of objective observers come down on the side of targeting for King, though. We’ll see if they come out in any such force here. I doubt it. This one was vicious, but obviously reviewed and cleared

I hateee Uga, but that was 1000% targeting on Texas.

 

[JoJaTeck]

By rule - it wasn't

Please read the rules that define targeting. Just like the Efford hit wasn’t targeting a couple games ago, this one wasn’t either. Crown of the helmet. This is the reason why the one against King should’ve been an ejection.
