Has Lincoln Riley discovered defenses and weight training yet?

If not, not a shot in hell.

What if I told you that there was a very solid team that returned almost it's entire offense, including a senior quarterback, and they're not even on this list.

It's obvious you Georgia fans haven't gotten used to winning yet. It's the middle of February and all Georgia fans want to talk about is football.

the rest of america probably is too. Seeing uga/bama, ohio state, clemson, oklahoma almost every year can get pretty boring.

It will likely come down to Big Ten and SEC again for that second team
Does Bama or UGA or someone else get two losses to knock either one out is the main question

I like what Beamer is trying to put together at USC but I don't think they are quite ready for a playoff run yet.

Wait? Southern Cal?

Ah. Yes. Well. Sure. I absolutely can see them making the CFP to be the designated sacrificial victim. Probably to Ohio State so they can guarantee that one non-SEC team makes the title game.

The sport needs a new team to get good and get in.

I don't think the PAC 12 champ has much of a chance against the SEC most of the time...maybe if USC gets back to where they were under Carrol

Alabama has way too many new variables to be writen into the playoff.

Should be #6 or 7 preseason.

Forced decision, I'd take UGA getting there over Bama. But then again, 90% of these sports writers are usually way off on their predictions. Bama is experiencing tons of turnover. Losing Bryce is a big loss as well. Can't just replace that talent with a new QB. This isn't a knock on Bama b/c they are always solid - even with two losses last season they probably should've gone to the playoff.

USC definitely going next season though.

The rest of CFB got their Cinderella last year and it didn't go very well.

Wait a minute... you're telling me they didn't pick a single Big 12 team after the TCU Georgia game? Shocking!

It's middle of February 2023 and LSU fans still talk ad nauseam about 2019 LSU


But yeah, the current back to back National Champions are overdoing it.
