I really think Georgia is the 2nd or 3rd best team in the country.
They obviously aren't getting in, but thats what I think

Probably falls
Bama, Clemson, Notre Dame, Oklahoma

Georgia will probably face Ohio State as #5 and #6. That'll be a good game.

Unless they have one of those two face UCF.

With UCF and teams in those Conferences, they should just be honest and tell them they cannot get in the Final Four and make some other championship up for them. Because there's no way, undefeated two seasons in a row. I mean yeah they could get stomped but there's nothing they can do to prove it if they were good enough.

Ohio State would play Washington in the Rose Bowl as the B10 champ if they don’t make the final 4. Assuming OU gets in and UGA doesn’t, UGA goes to Sugar Bowl and Texas goes to the Fiesta Bowl as B12 runner up. UCF plays one of those two as an at-large.

Bill Snyder retires.
That will help Les Miles at KU in recruiting...gives him a chance to get some of the better players in Ks/Mz area.
Gonna be interesting to watch.
If he can get some of the better players in the state,that will help KU tremendously.

I watched Georgia 3 times this year.
LSU, UK and Bama....
I do not think they are even a shadow of last year's team nor do I see them as top 5 overall.
Mainly because the OL/RB isn't as strong/physical.
Fromm is growing into a stud for sure and they will be good (top 10) yearly as long as they have a QB.
I really like Fromm as a prospect and young man.

But that LSU game was UGLY.
LSU is pretty bad on offense and just walked all over Georgia.

I think far too many folks are gauging a flat Bama team as a measuring stick.
Bama was in before the game and the game was essentially as home game for all the marbles for UGA.

UT/UGA should be quite good. Looking forward to that one.
UT might actually have more talent but far less identity. maturity or consistency.

UCF vs LSU is super intruiging.
ALL offense versus ALL defense.
Styles make fights and this one is interesting on every level.
If UCF scores on LSU they will do something Georgia couldn't... but win that game and they almost certainly get in next year if they go undefeated again.
At some point they are gonna get a cumulative credit nod!

Definitely an interesting hire. I’m curious to see if he’ll stick to his 3 yards and a cloud of dust offensive philosophy or if he’ll hire someone to run a B12 type scheme.

I figured Texas would be going to the Fiesta Bowl and I like the match up of LSU v UT from a regional big school standpoint. UCF and UGA would be a good game as well. Ranking wise it makes more sense that way too. #5 v #8 and #11 vs #15, but I digress.

Is K St hiring Snyder son?

Word was he was only going to retire if they gave him the job but did not know if that was true or not.

Committee picks all the NY6 games.
I think it is a great lineup.
They had some conf tie-ins and such plus they weren't going to put LSU in at home in the Sugar Bowl or versus SEC foe.
UT/GA is a match up of the lowest versus highest seed. But great match up overall of Blue Bloods.
UCF/LSU is the offense versus defense match up that everyone loves. 3 loss battle-tested LSU team versus undefeated best of G5 only hours down the highway.

I still want 8 team playoff but this is a great lineup IMHO.

I heard they want Clemson D.C. Brent Venebles...he played and coached there.
Venables son plays for Clemson and he swears he's not leaving.
He wouldn't take the Texas Tech job offered by his former college roommate.

I think the leader in KST race is Seth Littrell.

And no, I don't think Snyder's son is anywhere near the job.

Seth Littrell would be solid.

He was a fave of Tech fans too but I wasn't as high on him for a few reasons.
1. He has never won a Bowl game as HC.
2. He is an OU guy who will always have his eyes on that job.

Tech hired an unknown from UtahSt and the fan base nearly revolted but with dust partially settling he seems a good fit.

It’s not bad, I agree, minus the UF/Mich game. UT should’ve had the right to the Fiesta Bowl as the next highest ranked B12 team since OU is playoff bound. UT/LSU is still a good matchup of blue blood teams and is more even ranking wise. UGA/Mich would be another big matchup with a blue blood SEC team not named Florida (they’ve played like 3 times over the last couple of years) and again makes more sense ranking wise. Despite not wanting to send the same team to the same bowl two years in a row, UCF/UF would pack the stadium and become a de facto “top dog” game for in-state bragging rights. I’m gonna watch all the games regardless but I like this lineup better. But I don’t make the decisions lol

I think so too and Yost the OC has folks pretty hyped up but Tech did lose a highly recruited kid to USC when it fired KK... and now he is gonna be coached by KK it appears.

KK's issue was he basically only recruited QBs and let everyone else recruit other kids then gave a meh kinda close.
His laser focus on QB hurt the team's overall depth.
