Look, if it comes down to Bennett having to win the game for UGA then I agree they will lose. But this Georgia team is clearly built on defense and a solid running game and if they're going to beat Alabama they will win on those 2 aspects.

Idk who the Dogs are but the DAWGS are a really really good team.
To be fair, she didn’t expect much regarding masks but does not feel it will go well in indy
That’s tough
Look, you keep making my point. Alabama has the best offense in the country. They will key on stopping UGA’s run game. They are going to force Bennett to win the game.
My point the entire time is that he’s not good enough to do that. You agree? LOL
BTW - we have a lot on Bama +2.5 in the title game. Fade away.
If any team in the country potentially could beat Alabama it would be Georgia. They are the only team that doesn't have the talent disparity at almost all positions but Bama is better at some key positions.
Not saying that I would pick Georgia to win but if they can force some turnovers, break a couple of big plays on offense, and not give away points they have a decent chance.

OK I agree that if UGA is absolutely forced to throw the ball with Bennett then they are in trouble. But I think the UGA defense and OL will play much better in this game and the Dawgs will be able to run the ball enough.
Good point but beating Bama in a mid-season regular season game is a different thing than beating them in a national championship game.
If Bama blows out UGA (very likely), then college football will have officially jumped the shark for me.
I mean, it's the same **** year after year. Different player names, same results.
The CFP has destroyed college football, and the Wild West approach to NIL and college football free agency is going to make sure it stays destroyed.

I guess. In the BCS era, we would’ve seen Alabama and Michigan square off to see Alabama humiliate the Wolverines. We live in a world where some states/schools care more about winning football games than almost anything else. Players were and are getting paid. Haves had way more than have nots and still do.
We are watching the greatest college football coach doing work year after year. He tames all of the egos of his staff members and the players in his locker room. He and his coaching team have checkmate their opponents before the most of the games even start. They see the finished product of the player better than anybody.
Is it fair? Nothing is fair. Is it right? There’s no morality in the world of wins and losses.
My issue is not Saban. He is who he is and in a lot of ways, you're right - Alabama would be dominating no matter what.
But what today proved to me is that there's no chance at diversifying the college football landscape to wider than the regular cast of characters. If Clemson truly drops off, there's no one replacing them. Ohio State has the ability to come back, but Michigan and Penn State aren't joining the club.
The pie is getting smaller and smaller.
The college football landscape could be diversified, expanded, and leveled but even with that certain schools would dominate, in or out of the rules.
They aren't going to do it though because right now those schools at the top of the pile drive the TV money and the TV money drives the whole game. Far to many schools would rather accept permanent second class status than risk losing the tens of millions that the system feeds them each year.
It’s just about devotion and money. Football is a regional sport because some states’ high schools and universities care more about it than most other things. Teams can compete quickly if they want to spend the money on coaches and recruiting good players. Cinci was a body bag team in the early 2000s. Now they have a respectable program with a playoff appearance.
The issue is that public funding for higher education is dwindling, so there are constant fights about the money sports teams get relative to academic departments in most schools. Schools like LSU have chosen football over academics while they let classrooms get dilapidated and build state of the art athletics facilities. COVID has only worsened these issues.
How the hell is Bama an underdog?
Books think it’s hard to beat a team twice.
They were never in danger, it showed pretty quickly. They couldn't do jack **** on O. They got their ass whipped up front on both sides of the ball, period.
Yep, they could've blown them the **** out had they wanted to. Cincy had a great year, but they don't have NFL players all over the field.
I wasn't giving the games focused viewing yesterday and may have missed it, but it didn't look like Smart had an assistant yanking the HC by the pants to keep him off the field. Did Smart get some feedback on that behavior since the last UGA/UA CFP game? That 2018 MNC game was kinda ridiculous with the dude routinely yanking Smart by the waistline.

Totally agree…almost. For me Bama is SAME player, different name (except QB).
Those were two of the most boring semi final games I’ve ever watched. Honestly, outside of a couple games, this bowl season has been complete ****.
Welcome to the future of college football.
Bama’s OL was the difference last time. I was surprised at their performance.
