Maybe if they would enable comments on Saturday Road, they wouldn't have to try to push these articles on SDS. I've never understood why this is the only one of their sites where readers can comment.

"The Falcons’ head coaching job is widely considered to be amongst the best open gigs on the market in the NFL." According to who? As a longtime Falcons fan, I can't imagine this position even being in the top half of the NFL. The only benefit to coaching in Atlanta is that you're in arguably the worst division in the league, so you have decent odds of making the playoffs every year.

Cut him some slack, boxster. Trolls like WKU latch on to one idea and don't have the mental capacity to think of anything else.

Let's try again. Doeren is the perfect coach for that classless, irrational fan base. They've suffered from Little Brother Syndrome for so long that they can't separate reality from fantasy. They glom on to any success in football because they know they'll never beat Carolina in any other sport.

Unfortunately, he's going to a program that recruits turnstiles for O lineman. The last half of the year, Drake Maye has been running for his life. I hope Max makes it through the season next year without injury.

There was supposed to be a "5" before "things". Stupid phone.

So is there going to be an insightful "things that will most dictate Georgia's chance to beat Bama" article? Or have the brilliant SDS writers already conceded that the Dawgs are so overwhelmingly the favorite that they don't deserve such consideration?

I agree, but I don't think the CFP committee does. I have this uneasy feeling that they will find a way to put Ohio St in.

Oh good lord, you can do this with any two teams. Did you know that Chattanooga can beat Alabama if Chattanooga plays a perfect game, Milroe throws 4 pick sixes, and Saban morphs into Jeremy Pruitt?

He's an impressive young man. Kudos to him! Mizzou got a good one.

LSU vs UNC would be 98-97 with 1600 yds of combined offense. That would be must see TV.

In every game this year, when I've expected Georgia to roll, it's been close. When I've expected it to be close, they've won hands down. So this game, I fully expect it to be tight. Dawgs are in trouble.

Doeren is 100% correct. State isn't a basketball school. They suck at basketball. Now, if Smith had said they're waiting for wrestling season or bass fishing season...

Oh, I almost forgot. There's also the "Bowers is the only reason UGA beat Auburn." Of course, that one might be true.

Maybe it's aimed at the media, who seem to want to find any excuse to claim UGA isn't worthy. The story seems to repeat itself across all platforms. "Georgia's schedule is weak. The Dawgs struggled against Vandy. And now with Bowers out, it's all going to fall apart. They're no better than #6 in the country." Maybe not everyone is saying it, but I've been reading or hearing some version of the above nearly every day the last two weeks. Meanwhile, these same "experts" are listing Michigan as #1 despite their even weaker schedule and a strong possibility that they have manhandled all of the opponents thanks to illegal scouting.

Yes, he is most certainly right. And it's nothing that anyone that's watched this team the last two years figured out a few weeks ago. So how is this even news? And how do I get a job where I can get paid to state the blatantly obvious?

I don't know. It didn't matter against Auburn. Everyone knew they were going to run it and we couldn't stop them. Maybe the one difference is that Leary isn't as much of a running threat. But I'm just not sold yet that we can stop the run this year when we need to.

Agreed. This is only "news" because Deion has every minute of his life being documented so he can get more media attention. Can you imagine Kirby doing this with McConkey or Bullard? Or for that matter, any other coach in the country? I blame the media for this.

I'm not going to diminish what he's done in Boulder so far. And I don't want to claim that he doesn't care about his players. But from all appearances, all of this stuff Deion is doing sure does make it seem like he only cares about himself and his image.

We all know the reason UT won't beat the Dawgs is because they strategically choose to lose the game. Just like last year.

The "he's surrounded by so much talent" is one of the weakest arguments used. Name a single great QB or RB or WR who was the only good player on their team. Every single Heisman winner, at least over the last couple of decades, was on a team with NFL caliber players. But only Stetson accomplishments are dismissed because of that. I mean, it's fine if you want to hate him because he whipped your team. Just be honest about your reasons.

Yep. Unlike OSU that keeps their starter in throwing TDs when up by 21+ pts, Kirby grinds out the clock in blowouts and Stet stops passing. He doesn't pad his stats and because of that most Heisman voters will ignore him.

I've seen a lot of dirty behavior from Bama players this year. Didn't used to be that way. I'm obviously no fan of Bama, but Saban's players used to have class. Now they're taking extra little shots, like that one play where Dart's head was shoved into the ground, that reminds me of old Auburn and Florida players.

RIP you DGD. Legend!

Herm made it the end zone. I don't see Harsin getting that far.

Auburn's smoldering dumpster fire bursts into a blazing bonfire of glory. Mizzou in the upset. Harsin won't even get the benefit of the Herm Edwards treatment and will be handed his walking papers at midfield by the Assistant Associate Vice Athletic Director.

I agree, Donk. Way too many things can happen. I just think the whole thing with early polls and writers declaring Heisman favorites even before the first snap is ridiculous. But their job is to get clicks, and I get it. I just with that if a writer or a website collectively is going to rank players or teams for whatever purpose, that they use a little logic and consistency. Is that too much to ask?

So let's summarize the general SDS take here. Brice Young is not a Heisman favorite anymore because he lost his elite talent from last year. Stetson Bennett is not a Heisman favorite this year because he has so much elite talent around him that anyone could do that job. Yeah, that makes sense.

I find it amazing how some folks can read ulterior motives. My statement wasn't a dig at Saban. It was a prediction. I don't think Texas can hang with Bama on either side and I expect it will be a rout. If that offends you, so be it.
