ESPN’s FPI now projecting Georgia to lose multiple games in 2024
Thanks for the laugh. I needed it. "Alabama off from a strong road win over Wisconsin". Really? That was a "big" win. The same Alabama that may had lost to USF if the game stopped in the 3rd quarter?
Georgia beats Alabama and Ole Miss by double digits. Texas is my co cern.
Texas gets a strong win over a very over rated Mich and jumps to number 1. Meanwhile, Alabama which struggled for 3 quarters to a unranked team stays number 3. Not convinced whoever is in charge at ESPN can determine their own gender, much less the top 25.
I think it was the Jacksonville State coach when asked if they would entertain a game against Alabama. "For a million plus, sure, we'll let smash us around."
I don't know about a conspiracy theory. But I do believe had Georgia won, FSU would be in the 4th spot no questions asked. But with the loss came the Alabama or Texas question for the CFP pick. I believe they chose to take the easier (or so they thought) choice and take both AL and TX.
What was potentially sensitive content about Meeks statement? Because he referred to God? Other than that I didn't see it.
I wonder if Beck is returning then. According to reports Beck was getting a lot of attention from the NFL, so I figured he would go leaving the QB to Vandagriff or Gunner.
Glad he got his degree and the best to him. He deserves success, but I hope not to see him on another SEC team.
I agree completely. Unfortunately after the TCU blowout last year, the committee was more about optics. And to be honest, I think the current FSU with their backup QB (remember they had to use the 3rd string against Louisville) would have given Michigan a run for their money. If the rankings mean anything. Washington and Texas are the top 2 teams and the winner of that game will be Champs (leaning toward Texas as the favorite).
Yes, Alabama will blow out Michigan and make for a better final game. But FSU earned the shot.
A lot of chatter about Mike Bobo, Carson Beck and the offense production (or lack of). And I don't deny it, but GA hasn't been an offensive powerhouse the last few years. The defense worries me. Allowing Auburn 20 and UAB 21?!? Other teams may put up 40 plus if our defense doesn't tighten up. So even if we have a 38 point game, we still lose. Yes, I am spoiled from the past 2 years, but I want to see better defense. I don't want to see a lane open up the middle time and time again.
Most teams not trying to build stats, would play other players to give them experience and not make the game more lopsided. If UGA does this to UT Martin, you better believe the hate comments will fly. However Smart wouldn't stoop that low.
That is what I figured as well. With the new rules that a 3rd QB took away another on the roster, I figured Jake knew from the start he wouldn't be back up.
Figure the same fate for Stetson as well. Especially after his last performance.
No guarantees of the future. But it seems a quick million through NIL may seem better than a future 2.5m a year in the NFL, which is only a possibility. Staying with a team seems to give a better option with the draft. But that is no guarantee. However with new talent coming, I saw 2023 as a year AD could rise to the top for UGA and possibly be a late first rounder next year. Changing teams may drop him a couple rounds which will cost him big in salary.
Not always the case, as Justin Fields did pretty good. And Bo Nix or JT Daniels may have never fared better either way.
TCU was just outmatched and out played. And UGA last night was on fire and probably would have made hash of any contender. But should TCU been in the top 4? No! They had a great season and should have went to a bowl game to end the season on a winning note. But then again, they show up and fight their tails off to beat a pretty good Michigan team. Michigan should have won and then Georgia could have embarrassed them..again.
Without OL Warren McClendon, TE Darnell Washington and OLB Chaz Chambliss, Georgia finds itself on the worry list as well. It is all about "next man up", but after a tough couple title games, both teams are a little beat up.
Agree that spell check butchers the correct spelling. But way to many people misspell or misuse boarder/border, breaks/brakes, there/their/they're, etc
Not going to happen, but too bad he couldn't played an SEC schedule while say Missouri played their Big12 schedule. Missouri would like that I'm sure. They would probably have a 9 game win season. Which probably is the most wins TCU would have playing an SEC schedule.
They aren't weak, but they aren't SEC championship caliber either.
Personally I did feel better about the Michigan game last year. But Georgia playing the game they are capable of should easily defeat the Buckeyes. But they can't loss their edge with mistakes. And if the joke is the refs are in the Tide's corner, the looking blindly at OSU by the refs are too obvious.
Unlike the championship games and even bowl games, the Heisman and other individual awards as objective. Meaning they aren't necessary based on stats or numbers, but how professionals in the field view the players awarded the trophy. Nothing wrong with that except for certain people that just can't get stats and numbers out of their heads.
As a Georgia fan I was glad Stetson got the recognition, and his story from walk-on to carrying the team to a CFP trophy and possibly 2 is the stuff of Hollywood. A modern day Rudy carried even farther. But I never thought he would win the Heisman. Nor do I see him one day leading an NFL team on the field.
Here is hoping for that 2nd CFP trophy, and for now, that is all that matters.
"Winners epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work."
Didn't see "best" in the description.
My fear is OSU will be tougher than we (UGA) think. They have an opportunity to do something similar to GA last year. Get embarrassed at home (well, it was the Dome for GA), and have a chance to come back in the CFP and not only win it all, but do it by beating the only team that had beaten you before.
Georgia should be able to stop those bucks and easily take care of the MI/TCU winner. But it won't be easy, however, nothing worth having ever is.
Regardless of the outcome of the Michigan and Georgia games, they are still in. But interesting would be if TCU loses. OSU and Alabama would probably be in creating a showdown between the SEC and Big10.
First round should be AL/GA and MI/OSU. With the CFP Championship an SEC .v Big10. Ratings would be through the roof.
Idiots! Only 1 reason they think this, they do not want GA playing in Atlanta.
Don't worry. The CFP Champs will be will be crowned in CA if that makes them feel better.
Agree. Alabama and Ohio State with fingers crossed that 2 - 4 lose their championship game. GA is in either way.
Shocker tonight. With just seconds to go, SC makes a long winning FG.
31 - 30 Gamecocks. Your welcome Alabama, revenge is sweet..lol
When Georgia lost to Alabama last year, they self imploded. Not taken anything from the Tide, but Georgia did not show up. They did in the CFP.
When Georgia did the beat down on Tennessee earlier (I don't care what stat man tries to claim, Georgia went into safe mode the last of the first half and easily could had scored 41 plus but would be given the ball back to much). And while the crowd made a difference, the Volunteers were man handled. And would be again.
If USC wins out and their Conference they would deserve the 4th spot. However if they or TCU gets 1 loss, Tenn would deserve a rematch.
Georgia was penalized more yards than TN (60- 55) and turnovers were the same. GA played time management the second half (and the last drive of the first half).
Unlike you, arm chair analyst, the actual pros have called the game as it was. TN was never a threat in the game and met the first defense they could not score on. Georgia's defense kept Hooker pressured and the receivers defended putting their biggest threat on ice.
I'm not sure if the 2 teams will meet up again this year. But I doubt the outcome would be much different.
I always said Ohio State fans should be thankful to the Florida Gators. Otherwise they would be the most hated team..lol
And to be straight, no team has repeated back to back since the inception of the CFP. So if GA can do that, records would be broke.
If TCU finishes the season undefeated and wins their conference, OSU/MI does the same, and Oregon wins out and finishes with their conference title, with Georgia going undefeated, then I do not see a path in for Tennessee.
I know, big ifs as TCU has a tough couple games and I don't know if it is Divine Intervention or what, but they have been skinning through. Oregon should win out as will OSU and MI, but one will have a late season loss and I know B1G Ten fans will think even the loser should advance. But the loser of that game will not have the schedule strength that Tennessee had.
Didn't think Tennessee should had been #1, but figured let them lose and that would take care of it. I think TCU has lucked into the top 4, but until they lose, keep them there.
Oregon is stronger right now than Tennessee. I guess the final score matters more than the actual competition. Georgia played clock management the last of the first half and all the 2nd half. Otherwise, it could had been easily a 41 - 13 game.
However, if Georgia plays like they did last week, it really doesn't matter the other 3 teams. No one has a chance.
Peach Bowl will be a repeat of the first game of the year for Georgia if Oregon wins the PAC12 w/o another loss. Oregon .v Georgia. Without a path to the SEC Championship game, Tennessee is out.
