CFP Rankings

Meh. You just had a total clunker. Just happened to be against a team that played their best game of the year. (They had their clunker vs Kentucky)

If you can at least get in the CFP, there won’t be any team you aren’t capable of beating. And you could get on a run. Likewise, you’re capable of losing to damn near all of them too.

I'll feel better if we play well against UTjr. Here is what the Insiders are saying - not making excuses - everyone has injuries - just pointing this out to anyone who wants to understand why we aren't what we have been the last 3 years:

- Beck has lost confidence and regressed severely. Being touted as a Heisman favorite and no. 1 draft pick + NIL with cars and high profile Internet girlfriend did him no favors.

- Decimated by injuries at RB and OL, plus absolute regression at OL play when healthy, will also add to Beck's problems as he thinks he has to do too much. Just found out that Cash Jones, a PWO who is RB2/3 is now in a boot. We will have nothing but true freshman RBs against UTjr, unless ETN can play.

WTH was Kirby thinking by bringing in USC's DB coach? Yes, he can recruit; no, he can't situationally coach a lick. Replacing the guy who is now HC at Syracuse with this guy was a bad misstep that should be remedied quickly after the season.

- We miss Muschamp. Sure, he's there all week planning, but he's at the Vanderbilt games on the weekends. Schumann is a good DC, but Muschamp is the guy who could make the changes mid-game. May be the best D mind in the game, and we don't get him at the game.

We lead the country in dropped passes, and our pass catchers can't catch a cold. It doesn't help that Beck had Bowers and McConkey as security blankets, both top-30 in the NFL, having great years.

- DL decimated in the Clemson game, just getting back. They will be fine but it's taking a while.

All that said, all but a dozen teams would be glad to have our talent. Let's see if the coaches can do their job and get it turned around.

LOL ... may be some truth there. I am not a Bobo hater ... he did a great job last year. I don't think he forgot how to coach in a year. That said, I am not adverse to trying to someone else that might be a little more dynamic in their play calling. Old Monken sure showed be can coach in CFB and NFL.

worse... because this is year 3 of the guy y'all said was the answer for your program.. Texas at least knew when to part ways when they knew it had a dud..

Times have sure changed since then. With the transfer portal a coach can turn things around in 1 season. See Lane Kiffin. See Indiana. With a revamped O line and healty receivers and a new OC next year things will look a lot different.

How do you know IU is a good team? They haven't played a team that is ranked. You have no idea what they will do when they suddenly get punched in the nose by a bunch of guys faster and bigger than them. That's one reason SOS is relevant.

I can answer for you -- they aren't that good. They will be like getting a bye if a top team faces them in the CFP. They had 12 yards total or something crazy like that against Michigan in the 2nd half.

They will get steamrolled when they play a top team

I expect @Illustrious Potentate to have his fire Kirby Smart thread up very soon

Nah. That was the worst performance I’ve seen in a while, but I’m gonna give him a shot to fire his buddy that’s OC before I fire those back up.

Plus despite a game where there was not one positive, somehow they still control their own playoff destiny

We will see how the rest of the season goes. Maybe we can start a Fire the Coach thread together

How is Georgia getting in over a team that just beat them 28-10 better?

How does Texas get in over a team that beat them by 15 points in their house? That's not how it works when there are many variables, and they look at the body of work. There are a lot of teams where this is going to happen.

- H2H - Ole Miss by a longshot
- Bad loss - OM loses to Ky
- Best wins - UGA with wins over Clemson, Texas, and UTjr / OM just with UGA

FWIW, if it came down to UGA and OM, I'd be embarrassed if they went with UGA. But, if UGA wins out, they are in and then it's between OM, Texas if they lose to ATM, UTjr. I thnk OM gets in instead of those 2.

I would also say a lot depends on how UGA looks in the next 3 games. Even if we win, but struggle, that will be a problem in those types of comparisons.

Because UGA lost again. They don't have the same number of losses so that's not an apple to apples comparison.

Georgia has not beaten Tennessee yet. I'm comparing rankings right now.

So wins Georgia and South Carolina (honestly I think they are better than Clemson)

Losses Ole Miss has the bad loss to Kentucky but Georgia beat Kentucky 13-12 so not like they were blown out. Georgia doesn't have a loss to a bad team.

First, this discussion only makes sense if UGA beats UTjr. If we lose to UTjr we are out of the CFP. So you have to assume that if you want to discuss UGA getting in over OM.

UGA and OM have or will have the same number of losses - 2. If either gets to 3, they are out.

It makes no sense to lock into today to make these comparisons, IMO. For example, UGA is out of the CFP today. I am not worried about that at all because if we beat UTjr and GaTech, there is no doubt we are in. With an SOS of 1, more better wins than anyone else, and 2 good losses, there isn't a chance we get left out.

My original comment was a reply to someone insinuating that the BCS rankings for THIS WEEK were somehow better than the committee. With that, you cannot use future games.

The BCS would have UGA in over Ole Miss right now after they just loss to them 28-10. Their resumes aren't nearly different enough to overlook that bad of a H2H beating with today's info. That is why I replied that I liked the committee's version better

To be fair if texas had Alabama and Ole Miss on their schedule then we are probably talking about a 3 loss texas team. Instead they played Miss. St. and Florida.
 
Penn state is getting a lot of shit for their ranking. Does Texas really have a better resume?

Sec is a mess. Like I said Texas wins the next 4 games and they are a 2 seed. Lose 1 of the next 3 and they maybe out of the playoffs. Too many moving parts to get wound up on this shit right now
