Quarterfinal Predictions

Sounds about right.

OSU/Oregon is the only game I'm not feeling a huge lean either way on.

I think the final 4 will be UGA vs PSU and Texas vs OSU/Oregon.

Both Big 10 vs SEC matchups to make the final.

Exactly what the two main conferences wanted coming in to the season.

Texas by 100

The other 3 are coin flips, Boise will run better than people expect vs Penn State (see Oregon week 2)

Works for me

Looks solid. I’d tighten our margin over ND some because of unknown elements of QB play and I’d favor Penn State by a few more.

expect the Quarterfinals to be much more watchable than the opening of the playoffs when we had some teams that were way out of their league.

ASU and Boise are still alive and ready to shite the bed in round 2.

Georgia 24 Notre Dame 16
Texas 34 Arizona State 17
Ohio State 38 Oregon 35
Penn State 27 Boise State 23

Nah, Georgia loses. Ohio State loses and Penn State loses.

T 0-1-1

UGA 24 ND 21
Texas 48 Arizona state 20
Ohio state 31 Oregon 35
Penn state 28 Boise 24

OSU vs Ducks will likely be the best game.

I think Georgia and ND will be a coin flip. Georgia will have not played in a month, trying to shake that rust off on offense with a backup QB is a recipe for disaster. ND is strong on both fronts, and they have a mobile QB (Georgia struggles with those).

UGA doesn't struggle with running QB's. We struggle with mobile QB's who can throw.

Leonard has 2,200 passing yards this season. His highest passing total this season was 229 yards against Stanford. He's cracked 200 yards just 5 times this season.

He's not the kind of QB we usually have issues with.

The most talented defense ND has faced was A&M this year. He had 158 yards passing and 63 yards rushing against them with no TD's in either aspect.

I think UGA's defense is better than A&M's.
