SoFFacet Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 1 hour ago, Peter said: I don't know who is going to win and what you say is certainly possible (as well as a big Canes win). Nevertheless, I was at the game in South Bend last year. ND took an early lead. The Canes came back and should have won. In the end, ND won in a close game. This year's game is not in South Bend, but is here in Miami. I can tell you that the fans have not been as excited about this team since the early 2000's when the program was elite. I fully expect a huge and loud Miami crowd (there also will be ND fans as there always are around the country). In addition to it being a home game for UM, this year's team is better than the one that almost beat ND last year in South Bend. Again, I will be there as a UM fan. I don't know who will win, but I really got to believe that, going into the game, UM has has at least as much of a chance to beat ND as the other way around. We shall see. ND has obviously improved significantly over last year as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I am very nervous about the Auburn game as a UGA fan. I am not sure why but I have a worse feeling about this game than the Bama game. This game this week against auburn is like the Bills game against the Jets. That game that shows you are not the same ole team. I hope Kirby has a good game plan and the team is focused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am NOT saying that you shouldn't be confident mind you. I'm just wondering why. I guess because this has been the game UGA would drop under Richt. UGA has had top talent for years, 4 and 5 star recruits coming in and guys all over the NFL. The problem has been the talent hasn’t translated to a title shot. Dawgs were close in 2012 when they almost beat Bama in the SEC title game. Everyone knew that was the title game. ND was a joke. I think if Kirby can get the Dawgs to the SEC title game undefeated it’s a new era for UGA football. The Dawgs maybe have the two best backs in all the country. Chubb is a beast. He will have a nice pro career. Thinking maybe Ray Rice...Michel on the other hand is going to be a dynamic pro. If either one was the focused back they would be leading college football in yards by a good bit most likely. They both have ridiculous yards per carry stats. i am coming up to Buffalo this weekend. Looking forward to watching the games 716 sports bar. Hear it’s awesome. Hopefully they will play some SEC football for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually it works out for them; as long as they don't lose twice in Nov they are gauranteed a playoff spot. Looks like it's Bama, OU, Clemson and Miami for now, thought Wisconsin should replace Clemson if they run the table. Also gets interesting if the Canes lose to Georgia.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 They would be a great team, the chances of some 32 ranked team winning would be negligible. Too few teams would make everyone cry who didn't get in plus the more teams means more money so this is inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everybody who wants to expand the playoffs to include more teams, nobody has yet to explain how adding even more crappier teams would make it better. Or back to the original bowl format with traditional conference bowl commitments. For all the whining, there was a definitive national champ almost every year under the old system. That one year it would have been great to have a Washington/Miami game but otherwise it was always settled on the field from my recollection. Seems like there have been even more controversies since the BCS thing started. Edited November 13, 2017 by KD in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everybody who wants to expand the playoffs to include more teams, nobody has yet to explain how adding even more crappier teams would make it better. Four is perfect. Given the disparity of competition between the different conferences you'll see a lot of undefeated teams seeded #1 or 2 be dominated in the semifinals by a team from a better conference with a loss in the future. That gives you the best shot of pitting the two best teams in the league against each other for the championship while preserving the importance of the regular season.

Peter Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) There always is a chance of a controversy, but isn't it more likely that the top team in the country will be one of the top "ranked" teams and will be in the playoff (than the previous system)?
