    They did get unlucky that Florida sucked and LSU was kinda average this year.  They scheduled 2 normally very good P5 teams.

    With Clemson flailing the ACC became the worst conf by far this year.

    their SOS was 55 for a reason

    SOS per Sagarin

    Texas #4

    Washington #5

    Alabama #12

    Michigan #56

    FSU #61

    Georgia #46

    Ohio St. #36

    Oregon #25

    (can't list this without acknowledging Sagarin still has Oregon #2, Penn St. #5, Washington #9 and FSU #10)

    We’re good no matter what happens tonight. We’re in. Bama might need a FSU loss, or maybe an ugly win. Hell, the committee might just outright put Bama in over FSU but it won’t be at our expense.

    Just a dirty Sooner trolling.

     

     

    I think SMU is going to be happy with the Sonny Dykes-for-Rhett Lashlee trade.

     

    That was a situation where Texas beat OU, who beat Texas Tech, who beat Texas. The computers were a HUGE part of it, as well as some coaches choosing to put Texas several spots lower than they probably deserved. OU cashed in all their style points down the stretch and beat Tceh by 70 points or so.

    Leach gave up in the 4th and let his former coach run all over him.  He then followed the screw job to Texas with his ballot in the coaches' poll  I don't understand why so many Surly denizens loved that asshole.

    Yeah. Look, you cant chalk that Louisville performance up to just FSU's defense. Their players were constantly self tackling with plenty of grass in front of them. They couldn't catch. They constantly ran out of bounds for no reason, even when they could have gotten a first down. And of course their QB was... uh ... special. That was just historically bad offensive football. 

    Yeah.  We couldn't believe the UL players running out of bounds in the 3rd and 4th quarters 2 yards short of a first down.  Just NO effort.  And I bet UL wished they had a Case McCoy or Tyrone Swoopes last night!

    Not so sure, I thought Georgia looked pretty pedestrian yesterday.  I honestly haven't watched them play much this year, so maybe the last couple weeks are a byproduct of some of the injuries or just bad days.  That said, I'm certainly enjoying the desperation coming out of Georgia right now.  I guess it's Kirby's job to fight to the end, but the optics are delightfully pathetic.   

    Alabama was just hungrier.

    And it was only 27-24.  UGA did have their top 2 receivers (and difference makers) limping on the field and their #3 receiver out as well as a starting offensive lineman.  But UGA knows they are out.  Kirby is just doing his coach speak.

    Its a game of inches.  UGA had a FG bounce off an upright.  UGA had a hand on a fumble, but Alabama managed to get in a grab it, leading to an Alabama FG.  Alabama got credit for a catch that wasn't on a 4th and 4 that lead to an Alabama TD.

    If any of those 3 close things go the other way, its OT or UGA wins.  I do think Kirby's offensive play calling after the first drive (where they walked down the field) was pretty weak.  Alabama has been burned on deep balls this season and UGA almost never tried, despite two Alabama corners being out.

    The same can be said for the PAC12 in my opinion.  A few were ranked high to start the season.  Nobody in the Pac 12 played anybody in OOC play and they won all of them giving way more of them lofty rankings than deserved. (Oregon Beat Tech by 1 score and probably should've lost that game). Then they just played each other with those lofty rankings and made it look like they were good.  I said it earlier in this thread but I think we will find out in the playoff that the Pac12 were frauds this year.  

     

    Edit: Utah barely slid by a bad Baylor team too. 

    Well they beat teams like TCU, Baylor, Wisconsin, etc. that weren't nearly as good as they were expected to be.  Not sure Oregon's win over Tech isn't their best ooc win.

    My disagreement rests with the Oregon argument. I understand an undefeated UW is a 100% lock over Texas; but how is Oregon, as Pac-12 champion, not a lock over Texas? They've already been ranked ahead of Texas week after week and their title game win would be drastically better than Texas'.

    I guess he argues that 1 in a million chance is better than 0 in a million.  Its kind of irrelevant.
