Yeah and the SEC sucked last year. Georgia's rushing offense was mediocre, one better than the year before.
Based upon what? Not winning the championship? I mean, just how bad was Auburn that they finished 13th in the SEC and had a 1-7 record in a conference that sucked?

Yes Auburn was 1-7 in conference. Our offense was so bad the defense could stack the box yet Auburn ran for 4.7 ypc.
Again, Georgia's rushing offense mostly ineffective

This is the least amount of hype I can remember for Georgia going into a season in years. I like it.

You're the one that said the SEC was weak last year. I asked you "Based on what"?
I'm guessing you missed that when you locked on my second observation?
ETA
BTW, the SEC had 7 teams finish in the top 25.
4 finished in the top 10. 7 in the top 15.

I dont care. A team with Georgia's talent should be able to run better. I am sure mediocre Missouri is in that list only because they could run the ball. More than likely that's all they could do.

I think I might have LSU, Ole Miss and Oklahoma with a better chance to make the playoff than Bama though those teams are probably pretty close.

In all fairness the SEC has been pretty bad in the playoffs the last 3 seasons:
Our SEC Champion hasn't won a single playoff game the last 3 seasons.
The SEC is only 5 - 9 in playoff games the past 3 seasons. One of the wins was against a group of 6 team.
The SEC teams are 0 - 4 against the Big 10 the past 3 seasons in the playoff with 3 of the games the SEC team wasn't even competitive.

Dawg, you really bringing up rankings in a playoff system? Come on. You are doing exactly what lesser conferences and teams use to do with that stuff. Rankings don’t mean squat in a playoff system. In the Final Four there was 1 SEC team, 1 ACC team, and 2 BIG - and this after the SEC had 5 out of 12 teams picked.
If you don’t see by now that ESPN is blowing smoke up you SEC guys backside with preseason rankings so you’ll buy the hype and prop up numbers is on you. The SEC under NIL is a shell of what it was. You know that and I know that. The minute it took your team 8 overtimes to beat my unranked team we all knew the game had changed.
I actually believe UGA is the only SEC team capable of a Natty this year because of Gunner and defense. The rest of the SEC is has become offense happy and can’t stop anyone. And running the ball has also been lost in the SEC. I’m a ACC and SEC hybrid fan but I’m objective and we all see the dominance is over. This year won’t be much different because you can’t cheat defense and coaching.

Texas hyped? No way …

Just missed a 3rd straight playoff last year. Made it when it was the top 4 teams in. Your irrational hatred is borderline neurotic,
I sincerely hope your life improves you poor bastard.

I think both will make the CFP. Bama has the next best chance
The SEC Media picked Bama I think 6 or 7th in the conference. You have them 3rd. Why? What do you as a Dog fan see in this Bama team others do not?
For the first time in over twenty years, I have little expectations for this team. I see 7or 8 wins. That does not put them in the CFP.
Only way for Bama to make Playoff is if one of there QB’s becomes the next iteration of Collegiate Tua and one or two of our 5 star running backs bring back the 200 yards per game Bama machine. In addition, we’d need our finger polishing 5 star wide receiver to act like a 5 star. I do believe our Defense will be stout and might by season end be great.
A lot of ifs here but we’ll soon see.

Phil Steele has Texas strength of schedule at #1, ESPN has it at #3. It'll be tough to make the playoff. But I think they will.
Meanwhile, Notre Dame's schedule ranks 56th. This should be considered by the committee, but it's not.
There is literal clear example from 8 months ago that your claim is false.
ND was way ahead of Bama and Oklahoma in power ratings last season. ND would’ve been favored against either by 5.5 on a neutral field according to FanDuel. ND finished way ahead in SP+ / FEI / F+ / Vegas power ratings. And also ironically Phil Steele’s power ratings too, since you’re citing him for his SOS.
ND was better than both of them, and the only reason ND wasn’t in the CFP was literally because of SOS, because (believe it or not…) the committee factored it in / “considered” it. Even though it was a deviation of their official protocol, which is “best” rather than “most deserving”. SECCG participant Alabama lost to 5-7 ACC Florida State, (and eventually lost to Indiana by 35) yet made it.
But keep up this false narrative / SEC victim card. It’ll play well on this message board. Enjoy your upvotes while this post inevitably gets downvoted to oblivion, because feelings matter more than facts on here.

There are all kinds of reasons that a team might lose games. It doesn't mean an entire league is trash.
quote:This is true, but again, that is not indicative of a league as a whole. People could make the argument that the league is so strong that we beat up on each other and limp into the playoffs injured and worn out. A strong league taxes not only the body, but the mind as well.
The SEC teams are 0 - 4 against the Big 10 the past 3 seasons in the playoff with 3 of the games the SEC team wasn't even competitive.

Absolutely. Do the rankings play a large role in who makes or does not make the playoffs in the first place?
quote:It certainly made a difference to Notre Dame and a host of other teams that finished ranked 12 and lower.
Rankings don’t mean squat in a playoff system.

in the last two seasons Texas has played at Ohio St., at Michigan, at Bama, at Florida, at Cotton Bowl Red river Shoot out, at Georgia, etc. Going to Neyland is going to be more like "Welcome to the side show".

I think the UAA woke up greatly after last year.
So I doubt it. They found a way to keep our basketball coach and made him one the highest paid coaches in the nation...

Now Tech is good? Every year we beat them people talk about how weak they are. Vols do that though. You score 70 on Kent State and try to "put the SEC on notice". What I notice is:
44-41
9 in a row
1998
44-41
9 in a row
1998
