You and me both. Partly because as a UGA fan, I’d rather see FSU in the first round instead of a red hot Oregon team.
UGA’s P5 home night games back to 2009: 2021 South Carolina 2020 #7 Auburn Mississippi State 2019 #7 Notre Dame Mizzou Kentucky 2018 #24 Auburn Vandy 2017 #17 Mississippi State Mizzou 2015 South Carolina Mizzou 2014 #16 Clemson #9 Auburn 2013 Kentucky 2012 Vandy Kentucky Fairly healthy mix of East teams, plus Auburn and some ranked OOC foes. You’re correct Florida is always neutral and Tennessee is usually noon/3:30 (they also haven’t been that good in that time span, so doubt moving those games to night would change much). Does UGA have to play Alabama at night every year for it to be a valid stat?
My point was that UGA’s schedule/resume hasn’t changed since they released the first 2023 CFP rankings last Tuesday, except that they’ve added a top 12 win. So if they didn’t get dinged last week, why would they this week? UGA’s resume has only gotten better since then.
If UGA didn’t get dinged for its resume in the first version of the CFP rankings, why would they get dinged in the second after winning against a top 12 team? If anything they’re probably sliding up to #1.
A 12-1 Bama with wins over UGA, Ole Miss, and LSU would absolutely be in. Might even hop over the Texas team they lost to and an undefeated FSU since their schedule quality seems to be deteriorating.
Oh wow, you’re dumber than I thought lol Playing in a tough/loud environment doesn’t mean the team you’re playing is good. And yes, UGA absolutely gifted Auburn those two fumbles. I’m sure you’ll say Auburn forced them, which is fine, but my point is that that doesn’t have anything to do with Beck and without those fumbles the game likely wouldn’t have been nearly as close. That was basically 14 free points for Auburn. To touch on your “Alabama hasn’t lost in Jordan Hare since 2019” statement”, they’ve only played their once since 2019, which was in 2021, and they came extremely close to losing that game. Closer than UGA did actually.
The fact they Beck was able to go into that environment (first SEC road game as a first year starter btw) and steer UGA to a comeback win after basically gifting Auburn 14 points via fumbles certainly has to be commended. And all he’s done since then is continue to improve, which is exactly what you want a first year starter to do.
Why would Alabama play USC in the Orange Bowl? Did they change bowl tie-ins? It’s always been ACC vs SEC/B10
Or just don’t make the comment at all, especially since it has zero to do with football. Most on here want politics out of sports, but probably don’t have a problem with these politics. Only certain politics that they don’t agree with.
The same Bama fans talking smack about beating UGA in the SECCG must not have celebrated very hard when they beat LSU in the Natty after losing to them in the regular season. That must have been no fun!
Why is everyone wanting UGA to play at Kyle Field? App State said it wasn’t difficult.
Prior to the transition, Auburn was getting Bama and UGA away games flip flopped. UGA and Auburn both got a little screwed by it, UGA lost a home game and Auburn now has Bama/UGA on the same home/away rotation. The SEC did let them remedy that a little by moving UGA to October. Now they get that L out of the way a little sooner.
UGA only has one loss to Auburn under Kirby, so I’m not sure if you can consider them an Achilles heel. If anything, they’re a consistent win for UGA. And while I get your point about UGA’s most likely loss being a west team, that probably speaks more to the weakness of the East more so anything else. Kirby is 10-4 against the West in regular season play. 3 of those were against top 10 teams on the road, so UGA probably lost because those were good teams not because the West has some kind of magic voodoo over Kirby.
I thought the Pod system was basically a no go since they revealed that the two main options being considered/voted on were a 1-7 model or a 3-6 model? Unless of course, you’re confusing the 3 permanent opponents with the pod system. Those are two different, although somewhat similar, models.
Arkansas/A&M makes sense, but when considering it from the perspective of making it work for every team I think Arkansas makes more sense with Mizzou/Texas/Oklahoma. Geography makes Ark/Mizz a no brainer and I suspect that same logic would make Ark/OU a pairing as well. Otherwise you’d give OU a trio of Texas, Mizzou, and then who? A&M? They probably won’t load A&M down with Texas, LSU, and Oklahoma. At the end of they day, if they’re giving each team three permanent opponents, there are plenty of teams that make just as much sense for Arkansas as A&M does. Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Mizzou, Ole Miss, even Mississippi State.
You won’t catch me arguing with you there. I was simply pointing out the importance of the UNC/UVA rivalry within the context of the ACC history and those respective fanbases (since I doubt anyone else really cares).
Saw where? They haven’t even decided if they’re gonna stay at 8 conference games or go to 9 yet. You’re probably thinking about when pods were being discussed and UGA/UF/SCar/UK were grouped together in a pod. This would be completely different from that.
UNC/UVA is the oldest rivalry in the ACC and the oldest in the south depending on if you think it’s them or UGA/Auburn (oldest in the “Deep South”). NC State/Clemson is also a fairly big rivalry, at least from NC State’s POV. They did keep the triangle intact though…..UNC, Duke, and NC State all play one another yearly.
Have to agree with JTF. Would prefer Tennessee, but will probably get South Carolina as the third. Not sure if they’ll keep the LSU/Florida matchup though. LSU has a lot of rivalries that would be hard to pass over. Texas A&M, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Alabama, or maybe even Mississippi State would likely be the pool that LSU’s three will come from. Wouldn’t surprise me for them to keep LSU/UF, but I could also see UF’s three being UGA, Tennessee, and South Carolina. Or my preference, UF/Auburn.
“For UGA’s REGULAR SEASON schedule” Reading is fundamental, Ron
Jalen Carter didn’t decide to return to school in 2022, he just wasn’t eligible to leave. He was only a sophomore this past season.
This is year 3 for Stetson/UGA in Todd Monken’s system, not year 2
The good news for you is Ole Miss fans can easily watch the SEC Championship game from home no matter the host city, since your team isn’t likely to be playing in it
Not sure what Sanford or Bryant-Denny have to do with NCG locations. Don’t think they’ll be hosting title games on campus anytime soon. Also, I have to say, Athens is about as close as you’ll get to Bourbon St in a college town.
@gwhite713 so you’re saying he did in fact beat teams (two to be precise) with fewer than 4 losses. What QB has beaten more teams with 3 losses or less than Bennett? Young has beaten three (UGA, Ole Miss, Cinci). Stroud has beaten two (Utah, Michigan State). Seems like he’s in pretty good company.
I haven’t checked, but I assumed that meant the Big XII didn’t sign a top 30 running back
Okay, so there are 4 teams that have a legitimate shot. Sounds like they have it perfect as is then.
Maybe I need more coffee, but how does expanding to 16 teams help an additional 24 teams? But agree, it really only helps a few more teams. Not like it solves the problem for the majority of CFB. Also disagree, when Spencer says it “gives more teams a shot at a title”. Let’s get real, they might be playing the games but only 2-3 teams have a legitimate shot in any given year. Allowing 16 teams in means you’d have several 9-3 teams making it in. A team with three losses doesn’t deserve the honor of being in the playoff.
