If OSU makes it over OU, then that will prove there's a Big 10(!4) homerism in college football instead of the alleged SEC homerism.
Should Georgia be in the CFP? Yes. Will Georgia be in the CFP? No. This is the season that, like 2011 before, forces a change to the way college football crowns a national champion. In three to four years the NY6 will be the NY8 and will become the first round of an 8-team playoff. That's the only way to respect the bowl system while having a playoff. Georgia is clearly one of the top four teams in the country. However, two losses make them ineligible for the CFP under the current system. It's going to be Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame (sigh), and Oklahoma. Ohio State is an outlier, but their blowout loss to an unranked team should disqualify them.
I grew up in Mobile, and we pronounce it: puh-cahn (the "n" is almost silent). There's no set Southern dialect, just a generalized softening of consonants, slower cadence, and varying degrees of drawl. I had the great misfortune of being stationed up in Fort Drum, NY for a time and was often told, "you don't sound like you're from Alabama." When I'd ask if they knew anyone from Mobile, they'd tell me they knew someone from Birmingham or Atlanta or Nashville or some other city. I'd then ask them why they didn't have any trouble accepting different dialects from people from NYC when those people live only a few miles apart, but they find it unbelieveable that I'd sound different from someone who lived hundreds of miles from me. All of this is to say that I reject your assertion that I must say, "pee-can" if I'm from the South. My accent is Alabama Gulf Coast, not North Georgia, and I refuse to talk about cans containing urine.
This is a truly shocking revelation. Who knew that Alabama had a basketball team?
The Hugh Freeze thing was utter BS.
Mississippi State over LSU was the biggest shocker.
Barring some sort of injury, this weekend should end the Sims-Coker debate. When Coker was out there he looked unready. Sims looked steady and confident even after the INT and the brief sidelining.
Not sure I agree. It's only week #3. Lots of football to be played.
Ugly. Ugly, ugly, ugly. At least I think we can say that Blake Sims has earned the starter spot. He's scrappy and has made the plays.
Geez, people. How about counting the number of rings all your supposedly-better running backs have? What's surprising is that Eddy Lacy isn't on here.
Vanderbilt. It combines the best elements of classic and modern. Florida's is the worst.
