Alabama's offensive line is MASSIVE
December 2nd, 2023 at 4:58 PM ^
If Alabama can keep running up the middle like that, Georgia could be in trouble.
December 2nd, 2023 at 4:59 PM ^
Georgia defensive front. Given what we are seeing here I doubt they want to see Michigan.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:00 PM ^
It looks like there is going to be chaos. Bama looks strong
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:01 PM ^
Georgia's got a fight on their hands. Then again they've been a mid first half team all year.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:01 PM ^
We want the "G loss, FSU win, Texas win: 1) Mich 2) Wash 3) Alabama 4) FSU " outcome right? Just trying to double check my rooting interests.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:02 PM ^
I was just wondering the same thing. I don’t want Michigan playing Bama in round 1
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:04 PM ^
I don't think Bama gets in over Texas regardless if if they win this game or not. They literally beat them on their own field.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:01 PM ^
Bama dominating the 2Q
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:02 PM ^
Roll tide, as much as it pains me to say that.
With Texas winning, UM would probably be better off if Georgia wins, just in case the unthinkable happens and UM loses they would have a better chance of "pulling an OSU" and backing into the playoff.
Of course, if UM wins they will be better off if Bama wins as they are almost certainly not as good as Georgia.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:05 PM ^
100% disagree, think UM is as good as anyone in the country this year Georgia included. Particularly if Georgia continues to be somewhat vulnerable on the interior of the defense. Though I do think UM's playcalling needs to be better than it has been in the playoff.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:07 PM ^
If Michigan and FSU win, Bama is not getting in. There is no way the committee, outside of the guy from Kentucky, are going to ignore the head to head tie breaker.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:02 PM ^
Uh oh, Bama scores to go ahead, Georgia is also apparently vulnerable.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:02 PM ^
Bama's Oline is impressive
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:17 PM ^
thats what i thought. not just big, but pretty buff as opposed to dough-boys.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:06 PM ^
There is so much offensive variety and defensive speed & size, on both teams. It’s really impressive.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:08 PM ^
Bama QB is a poor man’s Orji
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:09 PM ^
I honestly thought it was more just a fluke that Georgia Tech had some good success running against Georgia last week but starting to look more like a relative weakness for Georgia in relation to the rest of the machine they have.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:10 PM ^
2 top 25 wins? You mean 2 top 10 wins
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:14 PM ^
They have to show something that will make Georgia and Bama look better. Top 25 works better than Top 10 :)
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:10 PM ^
Is the damn tide starting to roll?
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:11 PM ^
Bama's defense is terrifying right now
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:11 PM ^
3 point false start by Georgia. Wow. Bama with a bit of momentum.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:12 PM ^
Bama seems to have all the momentum.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:12 PM ^
what kind of loony fanbase dresses up in church clothes to go to a football game?
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:13 PM ^
A cult ?
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:19 PM ^
our entire country did that until the '70's and it is kind of cool. don't get me wrong, i like casual, but you look at the old sports photos and the crowd is neat looking
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:22 PM ^
we are also 50 years pass that era
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:26 PM ^
obviously, but it's not a 'cult', it's kind of a cool throwback idea.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
Until the early 60's men wore a suit and tie every day, every where. Ladies wore dresses. There was nothing else...
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:12 PM ^
Doink!!!
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:13 PM ^
I'm probably slow to this, but the story is setting up for another asterisk on Michigan's national championship. If Bama and FSU win, we ought to see:
- M
- UW
- FSU
- Texas
And everybody's going to dismiss the winner because no (current) SEC team.
Edit: Bizarre reaction to this, apparently because some folks don't understand that an asterisk simply denotes a caveat. All I'm describing above is that some folks would consider this national championship less than because of the lack of SEC representation. Not saying it's correct, but reality isn't always correct.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:15 PM ^
What asterisk? Fuck that.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:17 PM ^
You don't remember 1997?
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:17 PM ^
A shared title is not the same as a title with an asterisk. This is silly.
EDIT: Upvote yourself all you want, you know your argument is stupid.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:18 PM ^
What does that have to do with anything? The difference in 97 was the anarchic bowl system back then didn't allow UM to settle it with Nebraska on the field.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:16 PM ^
A natty is a natty, doesn't matter who the hell is in the playoff.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:17 PM ^
And everybody's going to dismiss the winner because no (current) SEC team.
Mr. Sankey, that you?
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:13 PM ^
All 22 starters on the field are future NFL players. It's a good thing Michigan is as good as they are this season.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:15 PM ^
Broadcast crew already starting with the politicking
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:15 PM ^
being candid, this SEC game is good football. i equate it with our game vs. ohio. excellent athletes, well-schemed, playing hard.
rooting for 'bama is tough though. it's like rooting for iraq to beat iran or something like that.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:17 PM ^
If Bama wins there is a good chance UM plays Georgia in the semi finals.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:21 PM ^
Probably need FSU to also lose, but you are correct, that is the danger of UM getting the #1 seed. UM may have to play Bama or GA in the semi-finals. No thanks.
#GoBlue
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
In such a small sample tournament, being the #1 seed isnt always the best spot in the tournament.
#GoBlue
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:24 PM ^
I really think people are overrating Louisville, you are talking about a team that lost to two unranked teams and only win of note is over a bleh ND team. Regardless of who plays QB for FSU I don't think good chance is the right word.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:16 PM ^
Have to say would be very cool to actually see the SEC shut out of the playoff.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:18 PM ^
I worry that if Bama wins close they are going to put both teams in the finals.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:19 PM ^
Nope, zero chance Bama gets in over a Texas team that beat them on their own field. At most there will be only one SEC team in the playoff.
December 2nd, 2023 at 5:27 PM ^
That's the key to figuring out this whole CFP if Bama wins.. Texas defeated Bama at Bama, and now Texas is the 12-1 Big 12 champion. The committee must rank Texas higher in the CFP than Alabama. That's why GA likely doesnt get into the tournament if Alabama wins and FSU wins.
