Yeah, I’m a GT alum and fan. Our defense is horrible. What does that have to do with anything. I predict the Natty winner will be one of three teams - UGA, Indiana, or Miami and I don’t think anyone else has a chance. Bama would be my 4th right now, but I can see their QB going down the way he runs. I think Bama rolls UGA next week, but I also see UGA as getting better and not distracted by a loss. Kirby will have them ready for the playoffs.

And this is why the SEC may be watching someone else hoist the trophy. The SEC doesn’t have a team in the top 10 for defense. For some reason they went BIG 12 style of football and can’t stop anyone.

It’s being glazed because it’s Northwestern. A mid level football program, first rate educational institution, being very smart with their program. I have no connection to Northwestern but if the opportunity presented itself I’d buy a ticket if in the area just like I would at Tennessee or a big SEC stadium. It’s the experience of it.

You say so far UGA has played a tougher schedule? Please tell me you are joking? I believe UGA is the best team in the country and will win the tournament but as of week 4 they have done nothing except beat a bunch of nobodies. All I want is you guys be consistent. Heck, I have a lot of UGA friends and even they laugh at the polls. At least UGA fans finally get a real game tomorrow they can enjoy.

I think the ref standing underneath the post had the best view.

All I want is a true champion we can all accept without argument. And the playoffs are giving that to us. We haven’t had a real debate about who the champ is in a long time. Instead we argue about who should be 10, 11, and 12.

The old days of old school coaches getting Natties by threatening media outlets did not give us a true champion. It gave us a crap show. My team did it back in the 40’s and 50’s because Bobby Dodd had a lot of power and twisted the media arms no different than ND and the Bear did. Can you imagine being a newspaper editor in the south and voting for Michigan over the Bear. You’d never get access to a southern stadium again.

It was a joke and you guys worship this corruption.

An expanded playoff is played in front of us so can’t be cheated, we all watched Ole Miss beat UGA and Indiana beat Miami. I enjoy the conclusion of the season not being surrounded by argument of who is the Natty. The playoffs solved that.

And I’ve always said the regular season is nothing more than making money and getting better for the playoffs - just like every other sport. I have never been a “regular season is sacrosanct” guy like many if you. When teams like BYU and UCF went undefeated you guys gave them no credit which made your argument about the regular season hilarious. If you really believed the regular season should matter then UCF should have been given the Natty but then you want to bring in other criteria outside of wins which is comical.

Miami lost 2 ACC games and ran thru the playoffs to the Natty game. You guys have some serious bias because Bama and UGA have been dominant. How many SEC playoff losses will it take for some of you to realize that maybe you are being fed a line of crap from ESPN so they can continue to get big ratings from southern fans who buy the rankings BS so they can hype their games.

College football was not unique in anyway because a loss on September 4 ended your season. College football was stupid. They are finally making it a legitimate sport by having a real playoff/. You guys who believe the sport was better when 80% of teams were eliminated by September 20 can just spend your old age whining then. The rest of us are going to love watching December and January football. That a team is 9-3 instead of 11-1 or 12-0 means nothing. And this talk of lower seeded teams having no chance is just dumb. Miami was just the 11 seed and made the Natty over your juggernaut teams. So just stop. No one is buying it. The fans want playoff football when it matters. September games are fun but they are just scrimmages.

You guys who scream the regular season will be devalued are morons. If it was so devalued why did 70,000 plus spend thousands to watch LSU-Ole Miss or Texas-Tenn. You guys say they are devalued yet the customer is telling you differently with their wallet. You say Aubun-Bama won’t mean anything yet the stadium will be packed. Next week UGA plays Bama and that guy will be SOLD OUT yet every person attending knows they will both make the playoffs.

All an expanded playoff does is create more entertainment and better football as UGA-Bama part II in January will be freaking awesome. Just like Ohio State-Texas will be freaking awesome because both teams will be bettter in December than they were in early September.

Of course it’s going to 24. This was a foregone conclusion when the BCS finally ripped the bowl system death grip from the sport.

And everyone loves it and will love it. If some of you don’t for whatever nostalgic reason you have then enjoy hating the sport. But it’s all been exposed as a joke. You guys talked about the rabid SEC fanbases and being over to take over stadiums, etc, etc, and yet within 2 years of being good, the freaking Indiana fanbase took over Mercedes Benz as if they were UGA or Tennessee fans. That proves that it’s all about having good players rather than location or culture. You guys have been smelling your own farts for so long that you don’t realize that everyone farts.
