Yeah, I'd take anything.  Their running game is a concern, and their second freshman QB can throw pretty well and he's had a lot of PT now.  I figure maybe the Dawgs can pull one out in the fourth.  Tech's last game was a week ago so they've had a couple days to prepare and rest up.

Tech's last 4 wins were in Athens oddly enough.  They have not won in ATL since 1999.  Key would love to knock the Dawgs out of the playoffs.

I'm hoping for an upset in Iowa City tomorrow night

I posted in the SEC site before last week about several upset potential games,  I got one right, Auburn over A&M. I didn't even mention Bama-OU.

It was a concentrated upset Saturday in the SEC.

Possible Upsets this weekend that would shake the tree

What exactly to do with Texas? If it doesn’t win this week is extremely fascinating. It probably does win, and even if the résumé ends up a little soft, it’s not like there’s a lot out there to jump them.

Texas is a 5.5 point favorite I see, so they "should" win about 2 out of 3, or so.  I "think" the Dawgs might prefer A&M.

The UGA line has dropped to 18, still too high.

Could Oregon withstand back to back 59-0 losses, where they play like Wisconsin did in the 2014 BTCG?

I think so, but it might cost them a couple of seeds

1982 - 42 years ago someone had an idea that one day could be a reality.
