Quote HistoryQuoted:
I think Bama @ Georgia comes down to Georgia's receivers vs. the Tide's DB. If the Dawgs get open and Lambert hits them early that will open up the run later. Ole Miss gave Bama's DBs fits. If the Tide shuts down the run, Georgia is in trouble. Monk It sounds strange but that may be the key to the win.....Bama will most likely load the box with an extra guy to shut down Chubb. This will leave man coverage and if your receivers can make plays then the O will have success. Or where you thinking more along the lines that they'll be able to shut down the run with just four on the line? |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Last year I was very high on Melvin Gordon. He was a difference maker who won games and averaged 195 all purpose yard a game. I really thought he deserved a shot at the Heisman. I mention him because through 4 games, Christian Kirk, A&Ms true freshman WR, is averaging 200 per game and you could argue he was the difference maker in both the Arizona State and Arkansas games. Kid is amazing. I hated when they decided to settle for a field goal try on that last drive in the forth quarter. With the weapons at WR and the way the offense was moving the ball, I would have at least tried to score......that and I new our kicker would blow it. |

I spent an awful lot of time laughing at texas and their kicking woes last week and this week. I think I'm now a Buddhist, because there's no way karma wasn't involved in Bertolet missing that kick.

Bama has a great D line but they will not be able to shut down Georgia's run game with just four on the line. Georgia's OL is pretty solid and Chubb doesn't need a huge gap to get yards. If Bama sells out and loads the box to stop the run then we'll see just how bad Bama's pass D really is because Georgia has solid targets to throw to. Just sayin'. I'm hoping that Georgia's D can play well and we don't get into a shootout with Alabama. I'm still not confident enough in Georgia to win toe-to-toe. If Georgia can score early and slow Henry down enough to make Alabama throw it then Georgia's defense is good enough to get stops and create turnovers. I think this game goes one of two ways: Alabama wins a close game OR Georgia wins a not-close game. |

As good as Bama's D line can be, I don't think they can shut down Chubb and Michel without help. If Lambert and the receiving corps, TE's included, can open up the passing game, then Nick and Sony will be able to run. Bama has to win this or they are done in the West. Saban will have them fired up. It should be a hell of game. Monk |

Agreed Bama needs this game to stay relevant on many levels. Not just in the West...but in the big picture in SEC play and future recruiting. If Bama begins to unravel it could have much longer term consequences than just this season.

Lots of talent, lots of potential. Too thin on defense, offensive play calling is retarded. The team I watched last night drops at least one game in October, and another game or two before the end of the season.

That's all coachable. Our LB are piss-poor at shedding blocks and filling gaps. I worry that is a personnel issue more than it is a coaching issue. |

BTW - out of all the people posting in here: What school did you attend and when did you graduate and what was your degree? LSU '89, BSEE I think I've told all of this in these threads before (maybe even in this thread/this year), but I only completed one of my degrees where I actually started it. 
Undergrad, started at the University of Alabama (first two years) but finished at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB); BS in CJ and Psychology, 1994. Graduate, part 1, started at Auburn but finished at Auburn Montgomery (AUM); MBA, 1999. Graduate, part 2, UAB School of Public Health; MPH (Master of Public Health, Maternal and Child Health), 2002. Then I started working on a PhD in Public Administration (joint Auburn/AUM program) but had barely begun when I found out we were finally expecting our first child (after years of trying) and took "a break" from school... a break from which I have not yet returned.  May never go back and get that PhD now, to be honest, it really wouldn't make much difference in my career path at this point.

A loss would hurt SEC play but wont hurt recruiting...........many of the players on the field are first time starters, and many recruits want to get onto the field quick. Saban is an excellent recruiter, so I'm not worried much about long range recruiting..........or the team unraveling.
As for UGA, they are a solid, well coached team and have quite a few weapons, but I think Bama will be fired up for it............and a few players who were injured or weren't able to play will be back, namely Bo Scarborough.........I look for him and Kenyan Drake to get plenty of time in the slot. It should be a great game, and possibly a defensive battle when all is said and done Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'd rather be doing normal new years stuff than watching football. Actually they don't even rotate. The 2 semi final playoff games are on New Years Eve 8 out of the next 11 years the contract is signed for. The decision to do that had to do with some of the bowl games that already had guarantees to always be played on New Years Day. And your right, it will hurt viewership. https://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa/college-football-playoff-schedule.php |

Notre Dame's win against GT doesn't look too impressive anymore after what Duke did to GT this past weekend. GT isn't the same team as last year. They also struggled with UVA (1-3), and their win at home against Texas means nothing because Texas is a doormat. Clemson's best win is Louisville (1-3). Louisville's gone through what...three QBs already this season? Also, I'm pretty sure Dabo's gonna get Deshaun Watson killed pretty soon...and when he goes down Clemson's fucked. Yeah this game should be interesting to watch. I can't call it right now. |

LOL, I can't believe some of you think Clemson is a slouch team.
Last year they beat several good teams and STOMPED OU 40-6 in their bowl game. In 2013 they only lost two games beating a LOT of good teams and then beat the amazing Ohio State Buckeyes in their bowl game They are not an over rated team. Clemson is a legit team. Sure they've had both up and down years but basically calling them a slouch team is
EDIT: By the way, this "slouch" team that is over rated opened their 2012 season by beating the Mighty SEC Auburn Tigers....and then closed the season out with a bowl game where they beat the Mighty SEC LSU Tigers. Yup, definitely an overrated team

Conference play getting underway in earnest. Who would have thought OSU and Indiana would both be undefeated at this point? Possible upset in the making? Indiana has more total points scored than OSU, but a much softer defense. The best scoring defense in the B!G might surprise you - Northwestern, 35 points allowed through 4 games (one ranked opponent so far). Only three teams have allowed fewer points than the Wildcats. Two big games in B!G West this week - undefeated Iowa at 3-1 Wisconsin and Minnesota at Northwestern. What? How can Minnesota at Northwestern be a big game? Minnesota is 3-1, doesn't suck, and was in the conference race up to the end of the season last year. Northwestern is having one of their occasional Really Good years, and is currently 4-0. I guess Nebraska-Illinois is important, if the Huskers intend to get their stuff together and challenge for leadership in the division, but they don't look good so far.
 We'll see. Football season is getting exciting!

Southern University has set up the Devon Gales Fund in an effort to provide financial assistance to the Gales family for medical expenses.
To donate to the official Devon Gales Fund, you can visit the Devon Gales Fund webpage. Alternatively, funds can be mailed to the following address: Southern University System Foundation c/o Devon Gales Fund PO Box 9562 Baton Rouge, LA 70813 Gales, a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, suffered a severe spinal injury in Saturday’s game against the Georgia Bulldogs. He was stabilized and then transported to Athens Regional Medical Center. On Sunday, surgery was performed to stabilize several fractures in his neck. Southern later said in a statement that Devon Gales “continues to have movement in his upper body and remains in good spirits” and that he will “remain at Athens Regional Medical Center until further notice.” The UGA staff and players have been providing support and assistance in this time of need. UGA even flew Gales’ parents from Baton Rouge to Atlanta at the school’s expense, and then they were driven to Athens by members of the Bulldogs’ staff. “We’re trying to cover him up with as much love as we can, and let him know that we care, let him know that we’re here to help,” Richt told DawgNation.com. “We’re just gonna continue to pray, and I know the Bulldog nation is behind him as well. There may come a time where there may be some needs. Not exactly sure yet. But it does come to that I’m going to be calling all Dawgs to get involved and to help out.” Richt did call for the Bulldog nation to help out last night on Twitter.

Yup, definitely an overrated team When I refer to Clemson as a little overrated I guess I'm really talking in terms of within the ACC. Heard one of the tv dudes say if Clemson loses to ND this weekend the ACC is basically out of the playoffs, which I obviously don't agree with. In terms of nationally, they've definitely proven that they're a legit team under Dabo, which actually kind of shocks me to say. Clemson is the better team on paper but hasn't played as near as tough of teams as ND so far. This game is so close that the Mirage in Vegas currently has the line at Notre Dame -1 while the Wynn across the street has Clemson at -1 You don't see that often. |

LOL, I can't believe some of you think Clemson is a slouch team. Last year they beat several good teams and STOMPED OU 40-6 in their bowl game. In 2013 they only lost two games beating a LOT of good teams and then beat the amazing Ohio State Buckeyes in their bowl game They are not an over rated team. Clemson is a legit team.

Yup, definitely an overrated team I'm not saying they're a pushover, but at the same time I haven't seen a game of theirs that made me think they're a borderline top-10 team. Are they deserving of their ranking? I don't know, and the games I've seen them play lead to me to say that it's likely not the case they're as good as their ranking. You seem fairly convinced they're anything but overrated, (and again, I haven't seen every game they've played...) so point out the games they've played THIS YEAR that support that opinion. |

Every team I've watched this year has a lot of things to fix and players to grow. There really isn't more than maybe two teams in the top 25 that don't need to fix some things and really don't look like the caliber of teams from years past. |

Let me help
Their last game they held Louisville to 19 yards on 28 carries. They rank # 17 in the nation only allowing 2.92 yards per carry. Their pass defense has only allowed a 43% completion rate and has 5 interceptions vs 1 TD allowed. The 43% completion rate is #1 in the nation. Their defense has only allowed a 19.57% 3rd down conversion rate. 9 of 46. This is one of the top 10 defenses in the nation right now. Their offense isn't bad either as their QB has completed 74% of his passes so far and they average about 4-1/2 yards per carry. |

The one game they've played against a (now 1-3) P5 team they almost lost, even while shutting them down on the ground. Also, the defense didn't lose Chad Morris.
My point is, and was, that it's a little overly dramatic to say they're clearly a top-10 team, and any thoughts to the contrary means Clemson is being called a slouch. No, they're clearly not a slouch, but let's not act like they've beaten Michigan State, Georgia, and Utah the last three weeks, either. ND is heading into a tough environment against a pretty good team, no question. How good, really, is either team at this point? |

I wasn't going to post until after Texas played again because I wasn't sure I could post anything without talking about the refs but I needed to post this one.
http://www.kansascity.com/sports/college/sec/university-of-missouri/article36990114.html Junior quarterback Maty Mauk won’t start for Missouri on Saturday against South Carolina. Mizzou announced Tuesday that Mauk and junior offensive lineman Malik Cuellar had been suspended “for disciplinary reasons related to violation of team policies,” according to a release from the athletic department.
Both Mauk and Cuellar will miss at least the South Carolina game, which kicks off at 11 a.m. at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, “and their status going forward will be evaluated after the game,” according to the release. The suspensions are not related to a legal matter, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. |
