Top of the heap

Pretty succinct summary of the CFP race from Bill Connelly ($$):

… The top of the College Football Playoff rankings consists of four unbeaten teams (Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, TCU), then two teams that have lost only to top-ranked Georgia (Tennessee and Oregon).

As resumés go, that one’s pretty stout.

Statistical snapshot going into Week 11

UGA has allowed 17 TDs in their last 21 regular season games. The next best team has allowed 36 during that span.

And think about how many of those seventeen have come in garbage time.

Georgia is the only school in the SEC to have more Interceptions than passing touchdowns allowed.
They also allow the fewest/lowest
•Yards per Attempt- 5.7
•Passing TDs- 5
•Pass Rating- 104.2 pic.twitter.com/T0EZYusTqy

In the SEC, Georgia is allowing the fewest Sacks (7) and TFLs (33). They have the highest 3rd down conversion rate (52.8%), 4th down conversion rate (88.9%), and red zone conversion rate (98.04%).

You know, this team looks pretty good.  I need to stop reading so many Tennessee social media accounts, I guess.

“And guess which dogs are barking first?”

Interesting comment from Kirby Smart on radio show on coaches debating whether to use flea-flicker to Terry Godwin on 1st offensive snap vs. Mississippi State in 2017. "We had somebody on the staff that was scared, didn't want to do it." Play went for a TD. pic.twitter.com/MBPMRq8ykm
