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.
I see Georgia, two teams that have lost to Georgia, and three teams that have not yet had the opportunity to lose to Georgia.

Well the last time Michigan lost a game, I think we had something to do with it.

I was kinda pulling for Coach Lanning and the Ducks after week one, but since their qb started running his mouth again I hope we get another shot and blow up the scoreboard, or at least Bo Pic-6.

You can do both. I’m pulling for Coach Lanning in everything except for games against Georgia and recruiting against Georgia. Bo Nix can keep running his mouth as long as he’s throwing touchdowns and setting up a playoff game that Georgia won’t have to sweat in.

If it happens, and if we win, how many other quarterbacks would hold the distinction of losing to the same team five times as a starter?

I signed-up for logic thinking it would be about critical decision making. After two weeks of nothing but those crazy math like symbols I dropped it.

I was in that class but had no choice but finish it out. I still have nightmares thinking about it. In fact, I’m pretty sure my smoking habit really took off that quarter, or it could also be b/c the hot chick next to me hated it so much we would roll our eyes at the nonsense and sneak out early to smoke. Lol

That’s a great question. I’m also intrigued by the possibility of Tennessee becoming the only member of the “Beaten By Stetson Bennett IV Times Club.”

Georgia has topped 2 top-6 teams, and has the 45th ranked schedule or something.
It’s a shame we can’t get a bump for playing Georgia 3 times a week.

Clearly we need to invite 8 more teams that UGA can beat soundly. This 4-team format just doesn’t work.

I think the expansion is good, but in one way, it seems kinda useless. It’s just delaying the inevitable. Just a few more games that UGA has to win to get to the NCG. It’s kinda like what I use to say about basketball; Why play 4 quarters and end up 110 to 108? Just play 2 minutes and let it end at 10 to 8.

My conclusion is that the team doesn’t give a shit about anyone’s “inner Munson.”

On a separate note, “strength of schedule” ought to be heavily weighed by the toughest games. Playing Ball State and Bama for instance is tougher than playing Louisville and FSU. Two ok teams is two chances for a loss, yes, but not if you are a contender while that single game vs. Bama would be a far bigger deal.

2nd week of CFP is basically preseason rankings since we are 5 games weeks from seeing the real deal shake out, but would love the CFP to show the current vote gap between us and the other teams, but naaah we ain’t ever getting that kind of transparency. This is because of the CFP committee’s sole existence:
To manufacture an image of 4 teams’ parity in order to maximize TV & Media rights $$s.
