wrong again
Was I? Tell me where? Where was I wrong Mr. “Navy is terrible at college football predictions ?” I am curious what I got wrong?
Did you predict Penn State would win Big Ten Championship Didn’t you? Well, you were WRONG. Did you predict Notre Dame would win last year? Yup, you were WRONG again. I’ve lost count of how often you’ve been wrong at predicting college football outcomes; it’s like a clockwise recycling.

Honestly I’d rather be the 5th seed than the 1. I’m not saying Oregon isn’t going to try…but I wouldn’t expect the same intensity as they showed vs OSU or what PSU will show. The 5th seed is almost a bye to the semifinals while the 1 seed gets you Ohio State or Tennessee in the quarters.

I didn’t predict Penn State would win? Read my post dude. I said I think there’s a chance they win simply because Oregon isn’t motivated.” Saying there’s a chance” isn’t picking them to win. Jesus man. Quit the obsession.

I mean, if you watched the game last night, Oregon is simply too good. I don’t understand why you think otherwise.

Simple fact is you mocked my 12 team playoff picks and I hit it perfectly just like I did last years championship game and semis and bowl games. So keep on hating. I’m doing just fine :D

Penn State has a sneaky tough path to final 4. It’s not as easy as everyone thinks. I think SMU is the kind of team that can upset them and Boise will be playing close to home and if they can almost beat Oregon they can certainly beat Penn State.

ND-Georgia potential Sugar Bowl is a monster. I think Georgia wins but it will be tight just like all Georgia games this year. Could end up a 16-13 type game. That’s assuming ND beats Indiana which could be close given the weather.

Texas has the easiest path. Ready for that Texas-Oregon final 4. Also would be cool to get old school Rose Bowl with Oregon-OSU although I think Tennessee may upset OSU.

The playoff is set, with SMU in and Alabama eliminated. I knew this would happen.

I guarantee that Indiana/Notre Dame is not beating Georgia.

SMU and Penn State are pretty even, so whoever win that game will play Boise State.

Texas>C;lemson


Ohio State>Tennessee If Ryan Day loses, he will be fired.

Anyone else think next year they tweak it a bit and say the conference champs get auto bid but not that 4 of them have to get a 1st round bye?

Boise is #9
Arizona St is #12

(Clemson is #16)


#3 Texas, #4 PSU don't get a byes

They will likely do that. Maybe even guarantee them a top 8 seed so they get home game but no bye. Two years it’s likely to move to 14 teams so that means the SEC and Big 10 champ get the bye and you go from there.

The portal and NIL made this 12 team playoff thing work.

There’s real parity now. No one wants to sit for four years at Bama being a backup anymore. They’ll transfer out and go make a difference (and $).

My predictions for playoff (which will probably be way wrong):
Round 1:
Texas 37, Clemson 17
Tennessee 20, Ohio State 17
Penn State 30, SMU 27
Notre Dame 27, Indiana 20

Quarterfinals:
Texas 45, Arizona State 38
Oregon 31, Tennessee 24
Boise State 26, Penn State 20
Notre Dame 24, Georgia 21

Semis
Oregon 37, Texas 33
Notre Dame 28, Boise State 19

Championship
Oregon 34, Notre Dame 24

Isn’t that what you said when I made my playoff picks last year? How’d that turn out?

Seriously it’s just for fun. Not wagering on it (well maybe on a couple games). I do like what Nick Saban said today about Notre Dame that they are the team that Georgia least wants to play in this whole tournament. They match up terrible with ND. So we’ll see.

No one is beating Georgia We saw that in the Texas game. They couldn’t beat Georgia without Beck. Injured Beck came back in and finished the game with a game-winning touchdown in overtime

twice

I think Oregon can. Their offense reminds me of Ole Miss.

I attended a few Georgia games this year and they’re damn good

Regular Beck played like ass, and injured Beck did nothing but hand the ball off using the only arm he could lift.

The reason why he’s not the same player as last year is because of the terrible receivers and offensive coordinators. Beck led the Bulldogs to a comeback victory multiple times by himself when they were trailing big. You haven’t watched many Georgia games like I have, so you don’t know what you’re talking about. So I suggest you stop talking and worry about Clemson game vs Texas. I wager on Texas to cover the spread and points.




Did Georgia defeat Clemson decisively earlier this season? Did Beck play well in that game? That’s what I thought. 34-3

Anyway Beck’s injury could impact the Bulldogs chances of winning the playoff game. I’ll change my vote if i know more about Beck’s injury and how long it will keep him out. Georgia’s defense is still strong enough to carry the team to win , just like they did against the Texas last weekend.

This is not Georgia 2021 or 2022. Hell it’s not Georgia 2023. They’re still a good team but let’s not sit here and pretend they’re this dominant SEC force that wrecks everyone. Two weeks ago they were dominated by an average ACC team for 3 quarters. Their defense is also hit or miss. Florida was running all over them and wohld have beat them if Lagway didn’t get hurt. Then we wouldn’t even be talking Georgia right now.

Can they win it all? Sure they can. There’s no dominant team in this tournament. Even Oregon isn’t invincible as Wisconsin and Boise proved. But if I had a ticket on Georgia, I’d be worried about their inconsistency because there’s been plenty of that over the last 5-6 weeks.

I'm sorry to hear about your penis. At least, I'm assuming that's the reason, because otherwise your random lashing out makes little sense.

Back on topic: I've seen enough of Beck to know his problem isn't his receivers. He gets in his own head. When things are good, he can be great. When they're not, he can shrink and snowball it. He is talented but he just doesn't have "it."

And I'm not worried about Clemson because why should I be? They shouldn't even be here. Last game was already gravy, so playing again is gravy on top of cheese curds and fries type of gravy. I'll just enjoy the football.

Carson Beck is a pretty good football player, and pretending he's not is a disservice to his game.

Is he a top five pick to me? No, but someone may make him one anyway.

If Beck doesn’t play in the playoffs, Oregon or Texas will likely win it all, with Boise State close behind.

If Beck plays, Georgia will win it all.

It seems like the rumors are that Belichick has agreed to become the coach of North Carolina, but I couldn’t find any evidence to support this claim. So stay tuned .

Pretty good defines it…just like Georgia is a “pretty good” team. I think too many people want to compare Georgia to the 2021, 2022 and even 2023 teams but the bottom line is they are far from it. Not to say they can’t win the championship…this is not a strong playoff field…. but there are flaws on their team. Just watch the Georgia Tech, Ole Miss and Florida games all in the last month and they become clear as day what those are. Some are with Beck.
