Hi Guest, we are working on updating the site servers and software. We're also 'forcing' everyone to read and agree to our site privacy policy and terms of service. There are no significant changes to either of these but the terms page does clarify a few things that are mostly in the legalese. You can just click the checkbox for both and continue using the site as usual! We'll update you more on the site upgrades VERY soon! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS for supporting the site and being an active participant!
I dunno. Georgia isn't Auburn or Tennessee. And we've already beaten them. I don't see how losing to Texas (which already has one of the biggest egos in college football, BTW) is a good thing for the SEC and consideration of strength of schedule. We argue that the SEC is the toughest conference to play in. I'd like to see that play out in the post-season.
Wait, that's what you took from my post, that games don't mean anything?
Goodness...
I don't know you, but like most any stranger, I'd wager I played more years of football than you did. Probably more than anyone you know.
But that doesn't matter as that wasn't my point - my point was that the peripherals matter. Do you really think Utah was the better team in 2008? Or that OU was the better team in 2014? When a team (UGA, in this case) in on the cusp of potentially playing for a national championship and that is taken from them, they generally don't prepare as diligently as they would if a championship was on the line. Do you REALLY think CFU was better than Auburn last year? That Texas is REALLY better than UGA this year? That UTAH was better than Alabama in 2008?
I'd argue that if you don't understand this, you never played sports at a highly competitive level. Once the opportunity to win it all is gone, it's difficult to remain focused. That's human nature.
So yeah, for the record, I played football for a minute or two.
After tonight, the #3, 4, 5, 7, & 8 teams all lose their bowls... Screw an 8-team playoff, Time to go back to the BCS
Hate to say it, but unless it’s part of the CFP, the sugar bowl has basically become a consolation game for the SEC against the Big 12. And in that setting, the Big 12 is probably going to dominate this bowl tie-in for years to come.

Refs just messed that up royally. If this was a close game this would be more of a controversy later.
I see lots of disagreeing.
But my point of view is that this Georgia is the 2013/14 Bama post kick 6. Had the world at your fingertips then lost in a horribly demoralizing way.
Congrats, a bowl game you give no craps about.
