Poor little puppy. I know it is hard to fathom that your expectations that Kirby could replicate what Saban did at Alabama Kirby could do in Athens was just a dream. Reality check or acceptance Kirby had his moment just like Dabo. Sorry it is over. :cheers:

The playoff committee will love a Pitt victory. Pitt wins they will rank Pitt in the top 20 to save face for ND being ranked so high.

I can tell how bad of a team Syracuse is.

They absolutely are better than Bama. No doubt.


Maybe so but so are other teams. The issue has nothing to do with Alabama it has to do with how they are ranked over Miami a team that beat them. But I am sure if both a&m and ND both only had 1 loss, but a&m beat ND aggies fans would not be upset that ND was ranked ahead of them. :rolleyes:

But you went to the Realiquest Bowl and lost. I mean that's like a participation trophy from a Cracker Jack box...that so eone then beat you up and stole.


Who cares as the game had no value win or lose. Just like UGA losing their game in the playoffs. It is still a loss in the end and neither team got a NC. What trophy did UGA get for their loss in the playoffs?

quote:
That's some strong copium.


Actually, the definition is better suited for fans like yourself who cannot accept the reality that their team is a pretender so will quickly deflect by calling another team out to feel better about themselves. And no, why would I be glad about my team losing? But it is what it is, and we could just as easily be 6-4 and still we beat UGA in Athens.

Never change Bammers, never change


I hope UGA fans like yourself never change. You make boards like this entertaining in your attempt to deflect while coping with the short comings of your own team.

re: Utah in a catfight with K state.

Pulling for KSU to see Miami move up and the committee justify keeping ND ahead of them especially with USC going down currently and not a close game. The same USC team that is the only legit win ND has had.

Strange thing to say when you couldn't even make the playoffs and you are a bubble team this year. Are you saying the truly elite teams go to the Realiquest Bowl?


Nothing strange at all. I am a realist that understands the expanded playoffs were for money and not competitive games overall. But if you think getting into a playoff with a G6 team and 6 or 7 teams that really do not have a chance is something to beat your chest at have at it.

I for one am glad about not making it last year as we would not have advanced. The only good win we had was an average UGA team which we saw in the playoffs last year were another pretender like the majority of the field. And if we do not make it this year, so be it.

If you enjoy a participation trophy enjoy and hang the banner. :cheers:

So has UGA. Making the playoffs is not that big of a deal to be honest with the expansion. All it does it add more pretenders which UGA showed last year nothing more. When you get beat by a team with Milroe at QB you are a pretender.

I doubt UGA wins another title this decade.

Not sure what you are referring to other than we have a shot to make it to Atlanta and the playoffs. How many teams in the SEC currently are in that same position?

Committee can do whatever they want. They used that excuse last year to keep us out and they also said they look at wins. This year they are looking at losses instead.

In the end we win we are in. If we do not win who knows how far we would advance anyway.

But now you contradict yourself because the chair of the committee last night said the FSU game was being used for ranking of Alabama. First game of the season.

A loss is a loss.

In the end if we cannot win out including a&m in the SECCG we do not belong in the playoffs.

We play to our ability and we can beat anyone. :cheers:

If we win out we are likely in the SECCG, but that is not guaranteed. If Vandy loses out, Arkansas beats Missouri, and everything else is chalk, we it's A&M vs. Georgia in Atlanta.


It is guaranteed if we win out that we play in the SECCG. The tie breaker is head-to-head and we beat UGA. So we only have to beat Auburn and we will be in Atlanta

To be honest neither Alabama nor OU looked good in that game. Both may get in the playoffs but neither of them will advance far if they play like they did last week. :cheers:

As such, the goal posts will be moved every year unless clear rules are established (e.g., teams playing in conference championship games that are in the top 12 can only be reshuffled within the top 12 but cannot be dropped out of the top 12).


This is what I mean as to be consistent. Set rules in place to avoid this controversy every year. They create a precedence one year and do not follow it the next. Last year they said the CCG would not hurt a team if they lost. So that should have been a new rule in place for this year.

I understand they are human with their own built-in bias but with clear rules/procedures in place the rankings will continue to be bias.

Also would help to eliminate all the other rankings leading up to it. They have no value outside of creating TV ratings but add bias to the committee as a base to start from.
