Marshall had a very good game against UGA, including this catch.

re: Rivals is now charging high school athletes $499 for evaluation & ranking consideration

It's pretty obvious that between HS and the portal, talent eval has gotten bigger than most college teams can handle. I wouldn't be surprised if On3 has a goal of selling their eval to programs.

At this point, I'm not as sold on Buster Faulkner as some seem to be, but if his greatness is assumed where does that leave Brent Key?

The penalty statistic I like to look at is opponent penalties. Statistically they should tend toward the mean for every team. If, after a suitable sample size, a team's opponents are given significantly more or less than average lattitude by the officials it raises questions. If it happens over the course of multiple seasons, it raises serious questions.

My bad. For some reason I assumed you were a UGA fan flying an alter flag. But, it verifies my point that the Neyland noise level presents more of a standard home field effect than an inordinate advantage.

They have no choice; they have to pick conference winners, including G-6. It doesn't matter where they are ranked; they automatically move over higher-ranked teams.
The problem with SOS inequality is much deeper than just conference winners and the G6. SOS is so poorly considered that it skews the entire set of playoff rankings, which in turn skews the brackets, first round byes, etc.. Given the minimal level of inter-conference matchups between top teams, and the inability (or unwillingness) to attempt/include an accurate SOS weighting, the fairest method would probably be to take the top 16 and randomly assign the brackets. That of course will never happen because they want to influence outcomes.
The SEC is so incompetent they don't even have a standard for how to report player status. Some schools report everyone that's out as out. Others just assume that you know some are out and don't list them. Like everything done under Sankey, it's inconsistent and poorly organized.

I think folks are putting a lot of faith in the Neyland atmosphere, and it is a very loud stadium even for day games. But it's not overwhelming by any means. Georgia has won there 10 times in the last 25 years.

Sad for these kids. If I had a kid in college, I'd tell them if you find yourself needing a fentanyl test strip, best to just go home and call it a day.
I just realized that Oklahoma added two more class of 2022 transfer DL to their roster on September 4th, who were slipped in under a last minute Oklahoma judge's restraining order against the 5 for 5 rule. It just goes to prove that someone is playing a dangerous game with the courts, picking and choosing who gets to play based on virtually meaningless criteria that were chosen after the courts had ruled in favor of the class of 2022 plaintiffs. At this point it raises questions about what's happening behind the scenes.

Looks like he may play. The report of dislocation appears to be wrong
If so, I'm sure Oklahoma fans are relieved. That seemed like it could have been a serious problem for their defense going forward. I think their most experienced ILB, Lewis, is already out.

How much of "Oklahoma's Defense Is Legit" comes from his efforts?
I won't claim to know the answer, but Stone and Jackson are the starting DT's. Without Stone, their interior DL group looks light on experienced depth to me. Stone has played the most snaps (119) of that group. Jackson has played 110 snaps and the top two backups are in the 30-40 range. After that they have about 3 guys with negligible game experience or stats. That entire group was light on returning experience anyway and of their current interior DL, Stone also had the most snaps during the 2025 season.
How many starting OL will you be missing this week? I know it's the coach's job to keep a decent depth chart, but your OL luck has been bad for a while now.

That’s not what I wrote at all.
Of course not. If you explicitly stated the implications of everything you posted, you'd be openly admitting that you're not a Georgia fan. Plausible deniability is the number one rule for message board trolls. The problem is that once they accumulate a body of work, the deniability is no longer plausible. That's why most trolls eventually go away and new ones pop up in their place.

“But they do play cupcakes” is the system that I want ended, FOR EVERY TEAM, not just UGA.
I can’t make it any more clear than that.
Oh, you've made it clear that you want UGA to give our rivals a schedule and revenue and recruiting advantage. That's why you're here on a UGA message board criticizing UGA for doing what everyone else does. The fact that you now have to play stupid and insist that this post isn't about UGA is the hallmark of a troll.
quote:
I don’t want anybody playing cupcakes.
But they do play cupcakes. Every SEC team plays 2 of them this season. You want Georgia to choose the course that reduces our odds of success. Either you understand that or you're too stupid to understand it. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you're not that stupid.

No. You don’t understand at all.
Please explain how you don't want what you just said you want.

what does it benefit us to play 10 P4 schools when nobody else is doing it?
We already play 10. Every SEC school plays 10, plus two cupcakes in most years. Apparently the OP wants UGA to play 11 per year, or maybe 12 based on what he says in this thread. This is one way you can identify prospective message board trolls; they're virtually always in favor of whatever choice is worst for their "favorite" team.
