Traditionally I would agree, but not this year. We'll agree to disagree. Don't have time to post more this morning.

THIS season B1G east and not even close. SEC west was Bama and everyone else. Someone has to NOT lose when two teams play.

Had to look up Gordo, Alabama. Not much over in that part of the state. I'll see what I can find out about him. Looks like the school is 4A out of 7. They play a couple Tuscaloosa and Birmingham area teams. Max Preps has him listed at 6'2" 190, so pretty solid size. His arm looks strong and accurate, although he has a bit of a wind-up. Love to get him.

A viable power 5 option, with a staff he likes, close to home. For a Texas kid, that is huge. We'll never know for sure, but the coaching change may have just provided the perfect opportunity to make the change. Best of luck to him either way. We need a transfer that can play next season.

Tell him to come be our Aidan Hutchinson!

I watched every second of the game, with several Bama and Georgia fans. One guy played for Bama on their 92 national championship team. Another played for Georgia. Hence me saying your opinion of their teams is much higher than theirs. It's all good fun man.

Like I've said, it's what I would like to happen, not what I think the committee will do. I don't have a vote.

After the first quarter, they were outscored 41-14. That's getting smoked. Something happened, because both teams completely changed how they were playing. With Saban, that can be adjustments. If Georgia looks fantastic in a rematch, I have some other thoughts.

Easy. ACC is really weak this season. I'm honestly not really that excited about this year's playoff. I think it will be Bama, Michigan, Georgia, and Cinci, in spite of what I would like. But I promise, you are giving Bama and Georgia MUCH more praise than their fans I know are. Both fan bases are very disappointed in their teams. Just trying to make this fun.

I absolutely can. Their best win is either Kentucky or a very weak Clemson team. Not something to hang your hat on. Then they get smoked in their final game against their only highly ranked opponent this season. Not a good look, and I actually kinda like Georgia and their fans.

So you agree. Kinda figured you would. Ha! Do I think the committee will? No I do not.

My wife said the same thing. Her exact words were, "Those aren't freaking basketballs, they're footballs! Throw them!!"

So assuming Michigan closes it out, who does everyone have in the playoff? I can't put Georgia in when they were just embarrassed by an Alabama team that severely struggled against a bad Auburn team last week. They proved today they can't compete with #2, so how can they claim to be the best? My four: #1 Michigan #2 Alabama #3 Cinci #4 Notre Dame

Interesting. Apply pressure and Brice falls apart.

That's the thing; either Georgia was way inflated, or they are laying down. This Bama team isn't that good. Their fans willingly admit that fact, and they NEVER admit anything but vast superiority.

So Georgia brings no pressure AND lets the only Bama receiver that can hurt you deep run by two db's. Hmmm.

Agree. When Auburn brought pressure, they dominated Bama's offense. Same thing for Georgia in the first quarter. Brice doesn't handle pressure well. No clue why you would sit back and let him find a wide open receiver.

If Georgia, Michigan, and Houston win, you could have Georgia/OSU and Michigan/ND in the semifinals. I would laugh watching heads explode if two B1G teams played for the title.

Hate is probably a bit strong. Really annoyed is better. They have great tradition, teams, and passionate fans. However, the fans can really wear your down. MSU fans act like they should be in the playoffs every year. And when they are a letdown as usual, they scream SEC. Never had a problem until I moved hear 21 years ago. Every time I try to get behind Bama, some d bag runs their mouth. Those people are everywhere, so it's in stereo. I have some great Bama friends, so I'm always happy for them, and being an IU football fan is very non-threatening and good for business!

Deal! I'll take it. Thanks for throwing the SEC haters a bone.

Come on man! Not one SEC team?! Give me LSU, UK, or Texas once they join at least. Just having fun with you.

I'm sure Bama would like that too!

That would be the easiest route. Make Texas and Oklahoma protected rivals. Still think they'll need to add a conference game.

Riley definitely wanted a less challenging path. There was some discussion of quads when the announcement was made, but nothing definitive. If they stay with 2 divisions, not only will they need to realign, but they'll also need to add a 9th conference game if they want to protect some rivalries. Not sure they want to take away 1 automatic win from half the conference by adding an additional conference game.

Coach O didn't "live" in Baton Rouge. He lived in Mandeville in a gated community called the Sanctuary. He and his ex lived two streets from my sister and her family. Baton Rouge is a hot, moist dump. Most of the state is the same. BK will have his primary residence somewhere else.
