Really? I can see the committee going OU-Ohio State or OU-Oregon if those are undefeated just to screw the sec

You might have missed what is called "the first paragraph" where i mentioned I am rooting for UGA
What is Georgia's path to the title? I don't see it.

And believe me, I wish I did. I really like Richt and hope he wins it all this year.
But looking at the polls I think he won't get a shot. Look who is ahead of 1-loss Georgia...Lots of undefeated teams and only a few of them play each other. So by December first the polls could plausibly look like...
-undefeated Bama
-undefeated Oregon/Stanford winner
-undefeated FSU/Clemson winner
-undefeated Ohio State
-undefeated Louisville
-undefeated Oklahoma
And after champ week that list won't change that much (minus Alabama presumably losing to GA)
I know all the talk about upsets always happen, but is Ohio State or Oregon losing? Wouldn't the committee vote an undefeated Louisville or OU over a 1-loss Georgia? What if FSU beats Clemson? Will a 1-loss Clemson be budged out by the 1-loss Georgia team they beat?
It just seems like this of all ayers is a time that a 1-loss SEC Champ game winner will get left out and we are stuck with a big-something snooze fest.

Disagree.
There's a team that tried exactly this. Dallas after the 2011 title. I'm a Mavs fans, and I agreed with Cuban at the time that it was the smart thing to do. Cuban had to make a decision: do you sign back nearly everyone from the finals team including free agents that are commanding more salaries than ever, and do you commit yourself to a full roster for the next four or five years, Even as the new bargaining agreement and salary cap were put in place?
do you start trading off everyone, and try to land a big fish for the future. Well, they did not get Darren Williams, they did not get Dwight Howard, it sure looks like they are not getting Chris Paul, and I doubt they get Howard again. In the meantime they fell to eighth in the West and ninth in the west. Was it worth it?
I don't really fault Cuban because the financial reality is a big one, but I think every Dallas fan would have said just re-sign Tyson, and re-sign Terry, and re-sign Kidd, and berea, and just let them see if they can repeat.
Hindsight is 20/20, but I doubt Dallas gets a big fish this summer, so they have another year or even two, before they have all the salary cap space. And in the meantime, Dirk is getting older.

Since 1979 every of the 34 NBA finals have featured at least one of the above players.
I love the NBA, but you have to admit, this is a superstar league. Probably because only five guys can play the time, so any superstar can take over.
Take out '90, '94, '95, you go to just six players in 31 NBA finals.
That's just unreal.

You are forgetting the plague known as SCOTT BROOKS
As a mavs fan Brooks gifted us 2 wins in the 2011 series.

Kawhi will not be a Spur much longer. New contract for a new team in a few years

As a Mavs fan 2011 was awesome. Three games decided by 3 Pts or less. Other three games had less than 6 Pts apart in the 4th quarter

D Wade will be traded by 2016. Too old.
re: Is this Bill Simmons' last night working for ESPN?
Posted by subwaysteven on 6/20/13 at 11:45 pm to battscave
Update... Simmons just Started talking about LeBron, and he said "well let me just tell you what I think about the decision", likely to say something Controversial about the ESPN special.
And then… The video and audio feed went black.
ESPN Conspiracy theories: go!

I say that more from his Portland days. He had an okay roster, but got to what, four straight Western Conference finals? And two NBA finals?
