College Football 2023-2024

No.

Defense travels

Cool, so you lose 14-10. You probably still think I Formation Power run is the way to go on Offense. Game has changed.

No, I think a dominant defense can win championships.

Not unless it’s as dominant as UGA in ‘21 and even then, they lost to Bama in the SEC title game.

 

[Omar]

I'm wide awake, thanks. Don't see it our there this year, every year is different. If talking about UW offense, yeah nice, no D so will all be relative.

That’s why I said you need to be good situationally on 3rd Down & the RZ. However, without an explosive Offense, you have no chance.

Sure, ok

 

[Omar]

Sure, ok

Yeah, ignore the data, that’s smart. Tell me how many of the champs in playoff era had a shutdown D with a mediocre offense:

2014: Ohio St- no
2015: Bama- yes
2016 Clemson- No
2017 Bama- no
2018 Clemson- no
2019 LSU- hell no
2020 Bama- hell no
2021- UGA- Yes
2022 UGA- No

But keep living in the past

 

[AEW Champion]

Compared to who? There isn't a far and above team or 2 this year

Georgia and Oregon are clearly the two best teams in the nation.

No one in the Big Ten has a dominant defense.

UGA starting to look it

Oregon, Alabama, Georgia all seem much better. To answer my own question, it appears it’s a no because there isn’t a 4th team to put in there.

Georgia and Oregon are clearly the two best teams in the nation.

I actually agree with this today. Oregon is a well oiled machine and have been on a mission since losing a close one at Washington.

 

[AEW Champion]

Horrible loss alert: Auburn down 17-7 to NMSU heading into the 4th quarter on SECN.

Jerry Kill is a great coach. He’s never been at an easy place to win, but he’s been a winner at every stop.

I can understand the reasoning, but the measuring stick game occurred and when it was time for Oregon to prove it, Washington won. To me, Washington is the superior team.

Oregon was the better team that day — easily outgained UW by 125 yards. Lanning lost the game with dumb decisions on 4th downs. Oregon will avenge that loss if and when they meet again on a neutral field in Vegas.

End of the day, other than GA, those other 2 had the chance to run table and failed. That's the reality of 4 team playoff. All remedied next year and can decide the top 12 on the field finally

First of all, both have to get by Oregon State. Second, I don’t think either one of them wants to face Arizona in Vegas.

Oregon gets the leg up in that. Gets them on the short week after UW and at home. UW has to win in Corvallis, which I think they do, but much tougher

Oregon State will be out for blood tonight and next week against two longtime rivals who are leaving them twisting in the wind after this year.

I respect what Arizona has done for sure, but they’re not the same if you get them away from Tucson. Oregon would certainly be fine against them if it were to come to that.

 

[AEW Champion]

Fraudulent Iowa escapes by their chinny chin chin again over fellow Big Ten West lump of poop Illinois, 15-13.

 

[AEW Champion]

Jordan Travis just got carted off after badly injuring his lower left leg while down 13-0 to North Alabama.

 

[cjb5656]

Might not have to think about FSU anymore. Down 13-0 and Travis looking to have sustained a major injury.

 

[Wildcat97]

FSU losing 13-0 to N Alabama and now seemingly lost Travis for year.

 

[Wildcat97]

Now it is if someone from UW and Oregon survives the next couple weeks, and if not, Bama if they win SEC title. If all of those end up losing, guessing it looks to the Game loser, if close or GA if they lose SEC title game

 

[Hammerdrill]

For the casual fan it won’t. The fans that actually follow football see how overrated both teams are.

lol, it will be the most watched game this season, maybe ever. Lots of fans want the cheaters to go down. Remind me again what team you root for?

 

[brian1227]

FSU losing 13-0 to N Alabama and now seemingly lost Travis for year.

Playoffs are over for FSU.

 

[SWGA Fan]

The UGA DBs, including Kelee Ringo, did not impress against tOSU.

Then, WHY did they shut OSU down, even prior to when your all world WR going down in the third quarter?

 

[SWGA Fan]

I wonder if it’s kosher for a Power 5 commissioner to move from one conference to another. Jim Phillips was Northwestern AD from 2008 to 2021 before becoming ACC’s new commissioner. He’s highly respected, knows the league well, and would probably be a great choice.

It’s true, it’s true. Trust me …

Think about this. I would think that it would be HIGHLY unlikely, that a new commissioner would come from any OTHER conference, other than from one in the Power Five. If not, it would be like a minor league coach being promoted to a major league team manager.

 

[cjb5656]

Shut OSU down? Stroud had a monster passing day.

 

[SWGA Fan]

Playoffs are over for FSU.

SOOO, you don't think that FSU would not have another potential QB1 waiting in the wings? Were UGA's QB1 to go down. They have two others prepared to step in, in Vandergriff and the kid from Rabun Co.
