Is David Pierce still the coach at Texas?

That will be peak transfer portal era football if he plays the last game of one season for Texas against Ohio State and the first game of the following season for Ohio State against Texas. After starting his career at Ohio State.

So can the CFP change the way the conference champs are seeded after the first year, or do we need to see another year of this for shits and giggles?

I’ll be rooting for Georgia SC Dawg and I’m not trying to flame. I do think experience matters though at QB. Having said that, the Georgia D could very well overwhelm ND and Stockton only needs to game manage and piece together three drives or so. I do feel there will be some drop off in QB play, even though Beck was inconsistent at times.

Not a Georgia fan so I don’t know what Stockton has to offer outside of pretty good mobility. The loss of Beck and their punter may be too much to overcome.

ND has a good defense and I expect it will be tough to score much on them. But don’t sell the Georgia defense short. They definitely have the horses to shut down the ND run game and get after Leonard. Anyone expecting ND to push around Georgia doesn’t watch much football.

As for Texas getting past Oregon or Ohio State, they’ll likely need the best game from Ewers since week two and the pass rush can’t go dormant like it did in the second half against Clemson. Even then it might be a coin flip.

I doubt they line up the SEC and Big 10 teams up in the same bracket. Texas and Ohio State will shift around d to ensure they wouldn’t play Georgia or Oregon until the title game.

Texas doesn’t have the quarterback or kicking game to win it. And they probably wrecked Georgia’s chance to win it by knocking out Beck and their punter.
It may finally be Phil Knight’s year.
