December 8, 20241 yr In no world should Texas or Penn State fall behind Notre Dame, who didn't qualify for any championship game since they don't play in a conference, lost to Northern Illinois, and both only lost to playoff teams. The top 2 conference losers shouldn't be heavily penalized for losing in an extra game that others either didn't have to play or didn't qualify for.

We are ranked higher than them right now. Penn St had a trash schedule and will have lost to the only two teams with a pulse they played. Their two losses will also be worse than ours. Both of our losses will be to the #2 team in the country and the SEC champions (one of them in OT). Theirs will be to 2 loss Ohio State and PAc-10 champion #1 Oregon. They also dont have the benefit of the doubt (they are a perennially overrated team) , which is where it is nice to be a helmet school like us. We will be ahead of them.

December 8, 20241 yr Texas will VERY likely be the 5 seed. Worst case scenario is the 6 seed. Then the committee will fuck around with the matchups. I think we will end up with the 5th best conf champ. Yeah, I think they wont have a conference matchup with even even if we didn't play this year.
December 8, 20241 yr So if we're 5, we get a home game against Clemson (assuming they hold on) or we're 6 we get a home game against Alabama. If we're somehow 7, we get Indiana.

December 8, 20241 yr Running QBs can take UGA's vaunted DL out of the equation in a way we can't. Hopefully UGA gets matched up against such a team early.

Just ask Bama when they beat LSU in their second matchup! Or when UGA beat Bama in their second matchup.
December 8, 20241 yr This doesn’t really tell anything but still kind of interesting nonetheless (assumes Oregon and Clemson win): Wins over playoff teams: Georgia*4 Oregon* 3 Ohio state 2 Northern Illinois 1 Bama 1 Ole Miss 1 Michigan 1 Arkansas 1 Vandy 1 Oklahoma 1 Tennessee 1 Texas Tech 1 Cincinnati 1 Louisville 1 South Carolina 1 Playoff teams’ record against fellow playoff teams: Oregon* 3-0 Georgia* 4-1 Boise St* 0-1 Arizona St 0-0 Texas* 0-2 Notre Dame 0-0 Ohio St 2-1 Penn State* 0-2 Tennessee 1-1 Indiana 0-2 Alabama 1-1 Clemson* 0-1 *played 13 games

I suspect there are a couple of teams in the playoffs with a mobile qb that will be kryptonite for Georgia. I don't see any team with a running game or defense that can stop Texas. The playoffs look promising.

The mobile QB helps both the running game and the OL pass pro. we have a guy who stands in basically one spot and they just get to go head hunting.

Imagine if we lost the national championship game like tonight. We clearly have struggled against UGA this year and this helped us diagnose our issues before the playoffs (we are much better off then we were the first time we played them).

We didn't get humiliated but the same fundamental problems on offense are still there. Seven sacks(!!!), no ground game whatsoever, and stupid penalties. We can move the ball in the open field with screens, slants, and floated throws to open space. When we reach the redzone and those options go away we stall as usual.

December 8, 20241 yr I will now add an addendum to what I said before, no way should Texas, Penn State, or SMU be out after losing an extra game that Bama, Notre Dame, and others did not have to play.
December 8, 20241 yr 50 minutes ago, Dr Fear said: 5 would also keep us out of any Georgia rematch until the final, assuming Oregon wins? I think this is a huge reason why Texas ends up 5 and psu ends up 6.

December 8, 20241 yr Five and six looking nice. My concern with SMU is they will put Clemson ahead of them which means Clemson jumps Miami and the three SEC teams, one of which beat them last week. Unless they decide Clemson jumps ASU. 1. Oregon 2. Georgia 3. Boise 4. ASU 5. Texas/ND 6. Texas/ND 7. Ohio St. 8. Tennessee 9. Penn St. 10. Indiana 11. Clemson 12. SMU
