The College Football Playoff spokesman had some nice words about Georgia football, but the SOS numbers are worth a glance:
Comments
Why is there a picture of tech scoring ?
Photos of rare events are valuable.
Not in this case.
It was called back due to illegal block below the waist.
Is there really much difference between #49 SOS , 35 and 38?
Maybe 14,3, and 11? Whad I win?
@Dawg1419 - that's an excellent response! Happy Thanksgiving!
So, not much of a difference in the strength of schedule?
and average of 9
even so its still tech
Good point.
The only way SOS may -- maybe, as in could, not saying it will -- matter, is if UGA somehow lost to Bama
The biggest thing that jumps out in the article is Cincinnati’s SOS ranked at #94, not Georgia or most of the other playoff contenders ranked in the top 30-40 of SOS. Even Oklahoma (who often gets picked on for weak Big 12 schedule) is at 61. That’s a big drop off all the way down to Cincinnati at 94.
yes!
i don’t think Cincinnati should make it over a one loss Oklahoma st. If you look at the sec alone. 5-6 teams could easily be undefeated with Cincinnati’s schedule. 3 or 4 big 10 teams. It really is a joke and it does matter having to play tough team after tough team each and every week. Which they don’t have to do. They’re a good story but they don’t deserve it at all in a 4 team scenario just like UCF didn’t either a few years ago.
as far as Georgia Alabama. Alabama game will be the first team that can match us with speed and depth. The clear advantage is our DL against their OL and the depth that our DL has. If we play mistake free football and the refs don’t get in the way like the national championship game, I think we win by a couple of scores. Our physicality just wears you down. 28-17 Dawgs is my early
SOS seems to be another media tool to create a basis for their subject support. Clempsum was #2. We beat them up, destroyed their quarterback's confidence and several of their frontline players missed games after playing us. Similar with Arky and several others. Those teams were not the same after playing against them Dawgs. Seems like less than a handful of opponents won the week following our game. Teams should get extra SOS points for altering a strong team's season. Rant...
it’s simple - the worst teams have the best SoS cause they don’t play themselves and vice versa with good teams
Speaking of SOS, here is the bottom half of the AAC:
Tulsa - 5-6
Navy - 2-8
Temple - 3-8
Tulane - 2-9
USF - 2-10
Cincy played those 5 teams.
Then there is 2-9 Indiana and 6-5 FCS Murray St.
And we are supposed to be impressed?
27 - 63 combined record of the teams they've beaten this year. Not the most daunting schedule.
There is only one team in the SEC that is not bowl eligible, Vandy. They were very bad early in the year but seem to have gotten better as the season progressed.
