Coach Rab Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 @Stoney At least 2 more. They beat Bama 14-6 in the greatest rematch ever played and they knock off Auburn one of the years they win the SEC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about NC State’s QBs? Philip Rivers, Russell Wilson, Ryan Finley, Mike Glennon, Jacoby Brissett. That’s a pretty darn solid group of QBs. @MavGrad99 pick two of them and put’em on LSU, how many Nattys y’all win? It’s a very curious list to say the least. Arkansas was gonna be on the list regardless, but UGA not on there is a head-scratcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s done as a calculation based on where those players were drafted. Some Georgia RBs dropped in the draft due to injuries etc. However, I agree... UGA May have had the best collection of RBs as far as college productivity and wow factor than any school in the country. Bama produced some machines, but nothing like the game changers UGA put out there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WETSU Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 How do we feel about the playoff committee? Not about the number of teams, but about how they are selected. Let’s just assume 4 teams is the number we are stuck with. Would you rather it be a committee selecting the teams, or a computer formula like the BCS selecting the teams, or possibly another method. I know we have talked about this a lot, but it’s usually a debate about the number of teams or automatic bids, we rarely (maybe I missed it) have discussed what we thought about just selecting 4 like we currently have.

DB2point0 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 The bcs was good, better than a playoff committee. I say go to 8 teams. Use the old bcs bowls as playoff games. P5 conf champs get auto bids, then the next 3 highest ranked teams. Use the bcs rank to seed. 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4,5 in bcs bowls. Then have two semifinals and the finals. Go to 14 team split conferences with 9 conf games, 3 ooc games with no fcs games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4 team playoff when there are 5 conferences leaves one out, possibly two with human bias. 8 allows winning your conference to mean something (guaranteed berth) then 3 at large. It would also give a team like Georgia, who felt they deserved a shot, to actually prove themselves. It would also give a fair shot to the G5 teams. As it sits now, there is absolutely no shot for them. You can argue they can schedule tougher opponents, etc....... won’t matter. A committee will never give them a shot, especially when the committee is comprised mainly of folks who represent P5 schools. Now if it strictly is limited to 4 teams..... yes go back to the BCS rankings to rank the top 25. Then take your highest ranked conference champions. Your conference games should matter.

I know the argument for 8. I am strictly talking about 4 teams. So you think conference championship is mandatory then take the 4 highest of that group. I can get behind that.

I go back and forth on this. I'm not a big fan of the committee, so I would choose the BCS formula, but I still thought there were flaws in that. If we stick with the committee, I think they would have to expand to 6-8 teams, but if it's just 4 teams I'd go with the BCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the BCS was created to be free of bias from humans... but it created a bias towards larger conferences. So then they go to this mess... and all or did was create a bias towards larger conferences... I think both items work if you expand this thing to 8-16 and include conference champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WETSU Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Florida finished last season with only 3 losses, and destroyed Michigan in their bowl game. It was a very solid season for their first year under a new HC. I agree they are a littl too high, but based off what they have returning and how they finished last season, it’s hard to put them much farther back than about 10-12 imo. 8 is a tad high though I agree. I’d say 12 is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirtFalcon Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I think Texas will be better than LSU and Notre Dame .... Penn State is better than #14 .... Florida is not a top 10 team .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
