Online news article out of Knoxville Sentinel asks: WIll Kirby Smart be next on coach Heupel's outcoached list?
CFP playoff poll only one that could mean something. They decide who is in...ultimately. Lots of hype, predicting, and bloviating about UGA and Vols. The game will decide it. UGA will likely end up a fractional favorite. If they win...UGA will secure the SEC East....IMO. Lose and who knows what the pollsters will do...probably like Bama 5 or 6 and TN will secure the East,...IMO. Depends on the score. I did not realize at the outset of season that TN would be this formidable. However, am convinced a running-on-all-cylinders UGA strike force will carry the day...secure the East and SEC and natty down the road. Seriously.
Tennessee is a good team and that's not fawning. They're beatable no doubt. However, we can't play the game we played against Kent State, We won't have the opportunity at the end like we had to beat Missouri and it sure won't end well if we play like we did in the 3rd quarter against Florida. We will have to play our best in all phases of the game and we have to play clean. We absolutely cannot extend drives for them. Go Dawgs!
Doesn’t matter if we are 1-4 in these 1st ranking…take care if business and you will be #1. Focus on cleaning up the secondary miscues in the 2nd half and get some good pressure on Hooker and we should be fine
Clemson is a better team than Michigan according to my eye-ball test. Bama and Ole Miss are better than Clemson. After OSU gives UM a loss, they will drop and be out of the playoff.
I am actually hoping UGA is ranked #3 on Tuesday. Every bit of motivation matters.
And, MG, don't worry about the peanut gallery.
For everyone fawning over the Vols, they are also lucky not to have two losses on their record. Beating Pitt in overtime is nothing to crow about (should not be considered the same as a regulation win), and were a missed field goal away from losing to Bama. Beating Florida by 5 at home is nothing to write home about either.
I guess we will have to endure a week of MG’s fawning over Tennessee and ongoing critique of SB…..It will all come crashing down Saturday in a wave of reality that the Dawgs are simply a better overall team than the Volunteers. MG and Smokey can be each other’s emotional support animal/human after the beat down in a raucous Sanford Stadium.
No way that stays at 9 points...that's crazy.
Still have the Vols at #1, Ohio State #2, Dawgs #3, Michigan #4 when the CFP rankings comes out on Tuesday. Tennessee has the best resume of the group and is playing the best overall.
It will go down during the week…I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s like 2.5 to 3 point spread
