ATHENS — The first College Football Playoff rankings have dropped, adding further debate going into Saturday’s game between No. Georgia Georgia and No. 1 Tennessee.

We must have been reading 2 different articles - I didn’t see anything here about 2014 teams or any of the previous seasons. This is about this season and these specific teams. No one said Clemson wasn’t a good program but to think they are what they have been in the past or that the ACC has quality is not facing the facts of the 2022 season. Again, UGA can settle this Saturday but either way - GO DAWGS
A bunch of panty-waisted college administrators are college football “experts”? Give me a break! We could put together a committee just from those that comment on this DN blog and be just as qualified to establish a legitimate college football ranking.
That being said, I couldn’t be happier being third! We went into the playoffs last year in the same position and Kirby played that card perfectly. Kirby relishes being the hunter. Let the committee continue to ensure that’s the case!
Okay, they said what put Tennessee over UGA (2 Quality wins). So, what put OSU over UGA? What was their big quality win? LOL...What a joke these people are.
It doesn't matter much. I know Kirby is ecstatic and Heupel's Vols are completely lost. They haven't experienced this level of success and hype in decades. They aren't prepared for the pressure. They will be straight-lining Rat Poison for 5 full days before they enter the Junkyard Dawg Pen and the boys will be drooling and hungry when they arrive. LOL
I thought UGA would stomp a mud hole in their chest, Saturday, to the tune of 54-27. NOW, I don't think they will score 27 points. Maybe, 16 points would be more in line with the times. LOL
DawgFans should care less. will change in a few days, anyways. It will be nice to say we beat the #1 ranked team in the country.
"It will be nice to say we beat the #1 ranked team in the country."
Exactly right, my Friend.
Here's a scenario for ya...
IN THE EAST: UT beats UGA in OT. Loses to South Carolina in Columbia in week 12. UGA and UT both finish the season at 11-1. UT gets the SECCG Bid based on head-to-head tiebreaker.
IN THE WEST: LSU beats BAMA by a TD and owns the West tiebreaker. LSU wins out and represents the West in the SECCG.
SECCG MATCHUP: TENN (11-1) vs LSU (10-2) ------------LSU wins in OT
That would give the SEC a two loss champion. A two loss runner-up and a one loss East Co-Champion. Who goes to the CFP? UGA and LSU? The same scenario can be drawn up using Ole MISS rather than LSU.
GREAT FOOTBALL SEASON!!!
PISS-POOR CFP COMMITTEE: Inconsistencies scar this CFP Committee's logic. Logic??? LOL There really is none. The Committee's directive, is to ensure OSU or MICH or both, make it to the CFP. UGA & BAMA are old news and the powers-that-be (ESPN) have been directed to skew the coverage.
Sounds familiar doesn't it? Media, responsible for reporting and analyzing, actually putting their thumb on the scales, to influence an outcome. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBR and PBS have been doing this since we went to a 24 hour news cycle. ESPN is trying to effect an outcome that appeals to their audience.
How, in God's name, is Clemson ranked that high? Where is their quality win? Michigan is laying claim to Penn ST. What is OSU hanging their hat on?
If we go to a 12 team playoff...as long as they use humans to decide, the decisions are bound to be biased and fallible. It will only be 3 times as absurd as it is now. LOL Under that scheme, Texas could actually make the CFP.
