re: Duke beating Uva.
Posted by DawginSC on 12/6/25 at 8:20 pm to theballguy
It’s bad for Bama. If Duke wins, both JMU and Tulane get auto bids. While the committee would like to take ND and Bama as the last two picks, they might take Miami if Duke loses so the ACC isn’t left out. That means either Bama or ND stays home.

I still give team talent a lot of weight in the playoffs. I’m not sold that Indiana Has enough.
Bama fans need to cheer for UVA I think. If Duke wins, the acc champ won’t be ranked high enough to get a spot. Both Tulane and JMU will be ranked ahead of them.
That will encourage the committee to rank Miami high enough too get a wild card so the ACC isn’t left out entirely.
If UVA is in then the playoff committee would likely take ND and Bama and leave Miami out.

re: Not sure Bama is as good as Miami or Notre Dame.

"good" is a hard term to define.
Bama is more proven than either Miami or ND. Bama has wins over UGA, Vandy and Mizzou as ranked opponents. Two of those are in the top 15.
Miami's only win over a ranked opponent was ND.
ND's only win over a ranked opponent was USC (who's not in the top 15).
The reality is when you get down to teams like this on the bubble, they all have warts. None of them (if Bama loses to UGA today) really deserve a playoff slot. So in my mind it doesn't really matter who gets it.

No.
Bama was 10-2 in the regular season, not 9-3 like Texas.
If they lose to UGA they'll be 10-3.
10-3 is not 9-3.

Dude, ya'll lost. STFU.
People need to recognize that college football is different now with the 12 team playoff.
The individual games played in the regular season don't mean much on their own. All that matters is getting into the playoff field.
UGA is not going to be as dominant as Bama was at their peak.
But UGA is going to be in the playoff 8 times in every 10 year stretch as long as Smart is there. They'll be consistently in the mix. The only other team I think will be like that is Ohio State.

Never seen Kirby put a game away, his only flaw...
UGA literally won a NC game by the score of 65-7.
Kirby might not do it often, but he does beat the crap out of teams on occasion. Even in big games.

Well, maybe bama.

He is a good OC.
He's not a great OC.
His playcalling is a bit on the "meh" side. Many UGA fans can guess (correctly) what his next call might be.
But he comes up with solid gameplans and can adjust decently at the half. He also develops talent solidly.
He's not going to come up with a call to take advantage of a defensive weakness or come up with a scheme so a less talented offense can walk over a more talented defense. But he'll have a plan that will wear an opponent down and allow a team's talent to win over lesser opponents.
He's good. He's not an offensive genius.

re: How many of UGA’s 7 losses in the last 8 games are due to Kirby’s gameday coaching?
Posted by DawginSC on 12/6/25 at 12:15 pm to BamaBravesPackers
In general the head coach makes the call to "go for it" or "run a fake". The actual play comes from the playcaller/coordinator (and Kirby is not the offensive or defensive play caller for UGA)
Most of the time I'm not upset with Kirby's call to go for it on 4th for example. I'm more upset with the play that gets called in those scenarios.
It all comes back to him because it's his staff... but the actual playcall likely isn't his in these scenarios.

re: President Trump wants to rename American football

How about we just leave things named the way they were.
Call american football football.
Call the gulf of mexico that.
Call french toast that.
And quit renaming anything to "trump". We're honest to god ending up with this scenario in real life.

At that point it’s just an “invitational” not a real playoff.
No, it's the same as any playoff where the "wildcards" are chosen by a committee. The last few teams in and out are always interchangeably unimportant.
True for the NCC basketball tournament as much as football.

We Longhorns are 3-2 against bowl eligible teams
The problem is that means you lost to a non-bowl eligible team.
That's worth 2-3 losses to a bowl eligible opponent.

Yeah, the FL loss was horrible, and the OT win against KY my be even worse, optically. With that said, TX would destroy SMU and Tulane. I know the stupid rules, but sacrificial lambs getting a shot over a team that went into Ohio State and almost beating the defending national champion is kinda ridiculous Tulane gets in after getting destroyed by Ole Miss and UTSA and squeaking by South Alabama because they have an automatic bid due to being the tallest midget? That just doesn't make sense..
In reality there are only about 6-8 teams each season that really deserve a playoff shot. I'm not all that worked up about who gets the "bubble" slots. All of those teams had opportunities to not put themselves in the situation where they are on the bubble.
I'm fine with a 1-loss team from a crappy conference getting a shot instead of a 3-loss team from a good conference. Neither really "deserves" the spot, so giving the little guy his moment in the sun is fine with me.
re: I haven't heard this mentioned much in the CFP chaos. Who is out if Bama and BYU both win

Georgia would be out.
What makes them a playoff contender if they are obviously worse than one of the participants?
Home loss and neutral site loss to the same team in the same season = no bueno.
Just speaking hypotheticals and potential gibberish that could come out of Yurachek’s mouth.
Except UGA beat Ole Miss head to head... so Ole Miss would then be out, right?
Especially since they also lost their coach.

The precedent was set a year ago when the ACC runner up was not punished for losing their CCG, despite their horrible SOR
The ACC runner up dropped below a Big 10 team who didn't play in their conference championship game (Indiana).
You're just mad that they didn't ALSO drop below Bama.
quote:
What happens if there's upsets in every single conference championship game?...hmmm
The answer is the same as this question.
Two conference champions from the ACC and below conferences will take a spot. Really doesn't matter who those teams are.
Both Big 10 teams are in, win or lose.
So the only games where the underdog could be out with a loss are the Big 12 and SEC.

Overall team talent.
Even with them working the portal, the had 36 blue chip recruits on their roster this year.
South Carolina had 39
Auburn had 46
Tennessee had 47
OU had 49
UF had 52
Texas had 58
A&M had 62
LSU had 62
Bama had 64
UGA had 70
Talent isn't the only thing needed to win a title... but it sure helps make it a lot easier.
