Dear lort, Kirby really killed them with that terrible decision to go for it.

The TD that resulted was a backbreaker for Georgia.

Not really. If he punted, Ole Miss would have had the ball at their 25 up 3 with about 7:30. As it was, Ole Miss had the ball at their 25 up 3 with about 5 minutes. It basically cost 2:30 of game time.

You can’t love the fake punt and the aggressive 4th down calls when they work and then hate them when they don’t work. Smart is aggressive. I’d much prefer that approach than what we saw at UNC this year.

8 games?

Yeah.

That’s a sample.

Yeah. There is certainly a very high standard deviation when your sample size is 8.

On the other hand, flip a coin 8 times and calculate how many times you get heads 7 times. Should be about 3 out of 100 - and that is when the odds are equal. The bye teams are theoretically better.

Sure?

OK?

You’ve convinced me.
 
My wife is a UGA grad so I was a little bummed to see my de facto second team lose like that last night, but at least we finally got a good playoff game after some snoozers this round.

It’s also cool to see some fresh names in the semi finals. Miami is the only 1 of the 4 to win a national title in the modern era, and even then their last one was a generation ago. Will be a particularly euphoric moment for whichever team ends up winning it all.

Great win. You should be tickled to death and am happy for you. In also pleased beyond belief that Ohio State went down.

The ACC, however, is still absolute ass. I don’t know how anyone can watch football weekly and have any different conclusion.

ACC gonna win two more bowl games tonight, including unranked SMU beating No. 17 Arizona.

That will raise the ACC post-season record to 8-4 and the SEC is 4-9 (admittedly, that is a VERY deceptive record based on games and opponents).

Other than the CFP ones they mean zero.

Before the CFP, did any bowls outside of the BCS games mean anything?

And before the BCS, did any bowls other than those that happened on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day matter?

Don’t get me wrong. I agree that the transfer portal and coaching changes and NIL has upended the landscape of college football.

But let’s not act like the Pinstripe Bowl or the New Mexico Bowl or the other low-level bowls ever really “meant” anything.

I agree with you . The bowl system has always been a joke.
