Re: Kirby Smart's bye week 'tweak' takes on greater meaning after Ohio State loss
aTm was the most overrated team in the CFPs besides Jimmy Madison. They were 7-1 against the bottom dwellers of the SEC losing convincingly to the ONLY team they faced (Texas) with a winning record…Miami couldn’t even qualify for the All Cupcake Conference finals….just sit down, pick up your red n black pompoms and enjoy the games today…

I think they’re to one dimensional this year but I certainly wouldn’t bet against bama. In fact I took bama and the points. Took U and the points last night as their defense is good enough to cover, but sure didn’t expect them to win. That’s a dangerous team

“NFL teams who had the bye in past years and didn’t play in the wild card…"
This immediately made me think of the 2010 Atlanta Falcons playing Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round…the Falcons were smoked at home by a team that had been playing with their hair on fire leading up to that game.

Fat thumbs, poor eyes and iPhone keyboard makes for many errors. Go pups!

Mississippi won't be going up and down the field like the first game. The Dawgs probably won't score 43 points this time around either, but it won't be needed. Kirby will hold some stuff back if he can, and I believe he will be able to do that. Miami has a much better D than the Rebels.

Indiana beats the pants off of Ohio St. in the physicality dept. Ohio St barely beats a good but not great Texas team, and then again gets out played on the line of scrimmage by Miami who barely beats an over-rated Texas A&M team. No way to gauge any of this IMHO.
The most over-rated team in the country all year has to have been Ohio St.
Ohio St couldn't harass Beck enough to give him happy-feet, which we all know you have to do.
Hopefelly we take care of business tonight and then we get MIami. Defense wins championships! Go Dawgs!

Re: Kirby Smart's bye week 'tweak' takes on greater meaning after Ohio State loss
Before the whole "first round bye agenda" causes too much panic, let's remember that very few had ASU and/or BSU winning, the Dawgs had huge distractions and a new QB, and while it was surprising that Oregon played so poorly, was anyone really going to beat OSU last season? With all that said, the OSU vs Miami game is arguably the one true case of the first round bye being a detriment. I don't think this sample size is enough to prove the first round bye is a trap, but it's good to know the Dawgs are doing their best to maintain some edge and ensure it doesn't factor into tonight's outcome!
