The SEC Forum at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Bama is like UNC in bouncy ball.  Theyll be ready.  This season they've shown lack of focus more than anything.  Focus can suddenly alter.  I expect it will.  UNC has for years played out of focus but come tourney time? Lasers.... 

Kicking a "down" bama team is premature.  

OT or a half dozen wouldn't surprise me one bit.  

I think the line is reasonable, but even so it projects Bama would win 1 time in 3.  I expect a close contest, probably low scoring.  I hope Dan Lanning has the LBs and safeties coming on blitzes often.

UGA is my second favorite SEC team.

For now.

Don't screw this up.  

Was doing a cursory review of both teams. 

Guess who scored the most "legit" (not trash time) points on UGA?  My boys... 17 of them.  How?

Bama has capacity to dial up snaps.  Will they? If they do and it's efficient (read: =points), will this impact another discussion here?

I dont think this offers Bama any decisive advantage, but... I do think it's worth observing and considering.  If for no other reason it's the UGA defense they've got to plan for not the UGA O... which is an obvious statement, I guess... but used as a building block to scheme the game means Bama will want to play fast O and keep their D on field more where they match better, and in hopes to keep UGA D off balance as much as possible. 

I'm thinking this game a 14-28/21-35 affair, which accidentally resembles the Vegas line.  There is a TD of overlap in my figuring. That isn't a lot.  And, we may as well say it- it's the NCG.. either this one or the next one in Jan. 

We had an Auburn grad as a coach and for a bit they had a UGA grad as a coach.  Then they turned water hoses on us.

Anyway, hopefully the Dawgs play a good game.  They had zero penalties against Tech.  The conspiracy types think the zebras will make calls favorable to the Tide.

Yep. The Red Elephant Club slips bags of money to the refs before every game. if you listen to the Auburn folks the refs stole the game from them even though Alabama had almost three times as much penalty yardage and the most Alabama had the whole year.

Penalties,  hence bama was out of their comfort zone the entire game.  The final regulation scoring drive had two pushoffs and two significant holding on bama that went uncalled.  If you're fine with that just say so... it doesn't matter now, anyway... or is it "what difference does it make now?" The mantra? 

Its not just bama. However they keep the dream alive with their cash cow.  I watched UT playing South Alabama with sec refs and it was bad in UTs favor... the penalties weren't lopsided by final tally, but the calls in crucial places went UTs way even though they didn't need them at all... the same way they do with Bama in every game they play, especially when they need it. 

It's not only rivals of bama complaining.  There is literal articles written about wagering where it's suggested the officials team be announced prior to game time so wagerers can adjust accordingly.  The SEC is out of control.  They are by far the worse of collegiate officials.  If they were bad all around? Okay... but it's plainly obvious a quarter in where the officials stand.  Its played and its old.  It's also pretty apparent it's related to money and post season payout. 

It almost makes me long for the old "old" system where teams were final ranked at the end of season and bowls were basically expo games.  UGA clearly had the best season.  Bama and UM is right behind them (regardless of level of competition) and yeah cincy deserves some love.  But for the love of the game, let them play without advantages. Bama should have lost to Auburn, and I hate both equally.  It was calls on the field that led to what the bama clan considers heroics by their QB.  

Damn. Bama is just making UGA look silly now. I would not have thought Bama would be kicking their ass so hard. And I really wanted UGa to win. I’m tired of Bama. How could they look so average against LSU and Auburn, get beat by a mediocre A&M, then just dominate Georgia?
