UGA is the second best team in the nation- it's that simple. OU, w/o zebras, are nothing. tOSU lost to Purdue in dramatic fashion. Clemson and Bama are big boy undefeated teams.
the real bitch here is ND, who polishes their nails on their chest as if they've earned anything with that schedule... When is the last time ND had two games back to back of decent opponents? They are nothing more than a mid major- period. Anyone in the top ten would take them down- conspicuously, UCF is on that list- also undefeated.
as i said earlier, OU had every first down in the first quarter awarded to them, and they still couldn't deliver. so, the ref's turned up the heat. Once Texas was beginning to attempt high risk plays, OU genuinely started to look good.. who wouldn't if they synthetically do what their D (or O for that matter) couldn't which is the primary goal of a first half: take your opponent out of their game plan and rhythm? they can tip their scumbag brims at the zebras for that- the ZEBRAS took UTa out of the game, not the sooners.
UGA made stooopid mistakes. there were three plays in that game where their D effed the dog. only three. how many major goofs did any other team have on D today? ... i betcha a helluva lot more than three- but they weren't playing Bama, so... they roll...
Pitt never had a chance, and still left it all on the field. I've got nothing but respect for NW. tOSU, when they want to, can play as good as anyone but Bama. I'd wager they would knock a good passage right through Clemson if the opportunity presented itself- but they still lost to Purdue. Pur-Due.
straight up- UGA had their chance. they lost.
tOSU was suffering some weird ailment when they lost to Purdue- and Purdue played with MASSIVE heart that game and I was proud of them while not even being a fan of their 'middle of a corn field campus stack of nerds'... (that was harsh, i actually admire Purdue).
OU has benefited from ref's all season. the refs of the 12 are ATROCIOUS- and I PRAY they don't get the big dance. They should be sitting on the sidelines in Idaho or Montana or something... I used to think Stoops had some secret HDD full of data that would send anyone even remotely related to bowl selection to hell bypass jail- but he's gone... I don't know how they continue to screw the field.
That leaves one team- glaringly- who didn't play today- sitting atop all others as if they're 'really something'....
y'all ought to stop worrying about UGA... as good as they are they had their chance and now they're a two loss team... it's ND that is casing the congestion in traffic, just like that ass hole you pass every morning heading to work who is so oblivious of anyone else on the planet that he rides in the left lane taking selfies and posting images of his breakfast half way out of his head on his facebook page that is bereft of 'friends' to begin with AS IF he thinks the entire world looks at him every day just dying to know 'how he's feeeeeling'... seriously... EFFF the Irish.
