guess espn still doesn't think much about Tech

[UgaBlows]

Do you guys realize that if FSU fails on just one of those fourth downs, they go scoreless in the second half?

And if we hit that early kick and King hits wide open Singleton in the EZ we blow them out?

While I like sneaking up on people, being ranked early and often helps with the new playoff system. After the CCG’s, not being in the top 8 or so will really hurt. Depending on how many conference champions are barely ranked. Let’s say the fifth conference champion and the Big 12 are not ranked. And ND is sitting at 13. If I’m not a Conference winner, I’m getting nervous.

Unless your in the SEC, they will have 4-6 teams in

Anybody who bases his college football bets on a computer ranking has rocks in his head. Obviously, the computer didn't watch the game. Tech just lined up and beat the snot out of them, straight up in the trenches.

Cleaning up your syntax a little.

This is a nice problem to have. All those games we could have won but for one or two plays. And here FSU should have been blown out entirely if not for one or two plays.

We did score a touchdown on that drive...and milked a lot of clock. So maybe it worked in our favor tat we missed that pass.

Given my ‘druthers, I’d like to face (and beat) a 12-0 Clemson squad.
But if we actually get there, I don’t much care who lines up across from us.

Yours is not a bad scenario, but I'm thinking about rankings and the CFP. If we win the conference we're in, obviously. But if we get to the championship game and lose, we want our SoS to be as high as possible to have a chance at being in the top 12. FSU steamrolling everyone else on their schedule helps us in that regard.
Naturally, these are all fantasy scenarios at this point in the season.

Classic Finebaum. I turned it off when this idiot called us a middle of the road team. Even his beloved Saban is giving us respect and this moron still plays BS political games. I’m not sure how he can be taken seriously. His show should just air on one of the political news channels.

It seemed to me like Finebaum's diss was more aimed at FSU than us ("you just got beat by a middling team") in the context of his overall comments. We were just collateral damage. Either way, like everyone says he's just there to entertain by being controversial, just like all the opinion shows nowadays. Anyone taking it seriously is missing the point.

But people do take it seriously. Many miss the point and reiterate the garbage spewed by that Homer.

What?!? Is that satire? That's just absurd. We won 7 last year and lost to Bowling Green. We may be better this year. But haven't proven a thing. It was a nice win, but FSU clearly was not the same team as last year. All this hype is as silly as Colorado's hype after upsetting (what turned out to be a not-good) TCU last year.

Ugh, we are definitely losing to GSU on Saturday... I've been a Tech fan long enough to have seen this movie before.

OK. I am a long-time GT kook, but that’s a bit extreme. I love extreme though.

I think their “bracketology” has a formula that automatically pulls the number one team from each conference at that point in time.

Didn’t know we were playing Southern. Much tougher game that State would have been.

GT now favored by ESPN over Syracuse......go Jackets here's to 4-0

 

[awbuzz]

Let's get to 2-0 first!

Not sure why but it bothers me still to this day that Ga State starting referring to themselves as GSU when Georgia Southern was GSU long before state even had a team.

Apparently this automatically places whichever team is currently in first place in each conference to the top 4 seeds (conference winners). Since we are 1-0 and in sole possession of 1st place in the ACC we get the ACC slot.

I'm sure they use one of their power rankings for the G5 & at large births. Notice the 7 at large are 4 SEC, 2 B1G, ND. First 4 out are 2 more SEC, 1 B1G, 1 ACC. The ACC and Big 12 are going to have difficulty getting a second team in the playoffs with the current media slant towards the P2.

One thing is for certain… we play a MAJOR role in the future of this graphic.

While I am also old enough to remember Southern being GSU, they lost that branding battle to State years ago. They are GaSo now.
