    And he only got the one playoff team right because that’s where he played ball.  It’s damn near impossible to not get at least 2/4 every year without even trying.

    I don't think anyone had TCU, but nearly everyone of note had two of UGA/Mich/Ohio ST. 

    And the three he missed weren't even close. It wasn't like he had USC or Tenn.

    We had OU in Norman scheduled, but the SEC asked us to cancel it due to the impending expansion. So we had to replace them with another program that had an opening on that date and Ball State was apparently available. 
     
    It does suck. We played Clempson in Charlotte last year and Oregon in Atlanta this year. This is in addition to the GT rivalry and the UF game in Jax every year. 

    This is kind of the point. No true road games. They aren't going into Clemson or going up to Oregon. Florida is in a neutral site but I'll give them that because it's always been like that at least as long as I can remember. Bama does the same stuff.

    OU was scheduled as a road game. We play Tech in a true road game every other year. It is an in-state rivalry and a tradition for both schools. The Clemson and Oregon games were against highly ranked opponents away from home. You can't just ignore those. 

    We played at ND in 2017 and have road games at Texas, Ohio St, FSU, UCLA, Clemson and others on the schedule in the future.  https://ugawire.usatoday.com/lists/georgia-football-schedule-with-future-nonconference-opponents/

    The programs you should be questioning are Alabama, which has played one nonconf road game in the past 12 years, Aub, Tenn and LSU, which have 4 nonconf openings every year and no neutral site SEC games like UGA and UF do. They should be playing two P5 nonconf teams and a nonconf H&H every year.

    How is the possible or allowed.  Sec sets themselves up so much, I can’t wait for out of conference games vs a&m kingsville when they tell us to schedule like this….  🙄

    Had great seats for the 2019 Sugar Bowl, right in the Georgia section. They were insufferable douche waffles for about 20 minutes until they realized the Longhorns came to hit them right in the face. Then they were sufferable douche waffles for the rest of the game.

    Go fuck yourselves, Georgia. 

    Go Frogs.

    Surly indeed! 😁

    The geographic or cultural similarities are they have the LA market and BIG wants that market. 

    Just counterproductive and disingenuous that they would leave the P-12 for the B!G. That's sad. They are literally the heart of the P-12 and are leaving everyone else high and dry for a league that wins national titles in the major sports as often as there is snow in LA. At least the Texas/OU move makes sense geographically and culturally.

    i think we are going to find that georgia and florida are the schools "most like us"

    athens is/was very much like austin in the 60s-90s

    gainesville not so much, but after vandy, florida has the best academics, and georgia not far behind

    lots of grads from both that have acumen and game in their chosen industries

    if this was lord satan, or a chip kelly year 1 story, i might reconsider

    might

    I wouldn’t be surprised if UGA struggles in LA. When’s the last time they left the Southeast?

    Last year in the playoff, we had OB in Miami then Indy. Does Miami really count as the SE? 

    Play Mizzou every other year as well. 

    Rose Bowl and ND in 2017.

    hey stetson....

     

    remember when you snapped the ball with 15 seconds left on the play clock.????

     

    might end up being relevant.... 

    Said the same in the stadium to my friends. He actually snapped it on first down with 37 seconds on the play clock. Not sure our staff cared. We just wanted to score, but with two TOs and more than a minute left inside the 10, you 100% let the clock run down.

    Hell of a drive from Bennett. Dude was nails on that drive.

    He does that, man. He and our team are mediocre for long stretches at times, then all of the sudden are absolutely perfect for 4-5 minutes of game time and it is all over. Should've been telling Stetson his entire career we are behind by 20 in the fourth. He would've won three Heisman's.

    I read some rumor that he wanted more PAC schools than just USC/UCLA and the BIG presidents said no and now he's pissed. Wonder if there's truth to that.

    It is lame they are adopting UCLA and SC. That's just not cool. I hope somehow it gets reversed, as there are no geographic or cultural similarities at all.

    So, basically like every game we’ve played for the last 10 years? Ok. 

    Yeah, they definitely show bias toward Aub/Ala regularly. Tenn got calls under Fulmer for one particular year for whatever reason (2004). Besides that, it is mostly inconsistency and individual officiating crews that tend to like or dislike certain coaches. It seems to have gotten better lately as the money has increased and our new Head of Officials is a Harvard grad from Jersey, but in the 90s and early 2000s and before that, it was a good ole boy shitshow.

    We also hated the SWC refs. I suspect we will also hate the SEC refs. So I am not anticipating the situation changing any.

    Yes, you will 100% hate SEC refs. Though it will not be much different from the calls you didn't get vs Alabama two weeks ago from Big XII refs. 

    That said, the league tends to benefit the teams that bring in the most money, so if Texas starts making NY6 bowls and playoffs, you will benefit from some calls and scheduling as well.

    You act like Deloss was the only swinging big dick.  I can assure you from Donnie Duncan to Joe Castiglione, OU was at least an equal in all these talks between the two schools.  OU and Texas hate eachother in Dallas but when it comes to big boy negotiations there was always a very high level of respect.  And there’s the rub, aggy and corn aggy never had and never will have that respect.  
     

    Texas obviously gets too much hate but they get most of the money too…that’s life.  

    Who is corn aggy?

    I have to admit. I predicted, privately, that Bama was going to win. I didn't think Georgia's schedule this year really proved the hype that they were the best team in the country with an all-time defense.  I also didn't think Stetson Bennett could lead a team to a championship.  I thought Georgia was exposed for who they really were in the SEC championship game.  I still think, position-by-position, on paper, Bama is a better team than Georgia.  If they play at full strength, I think Bama wins the game 8/10 times.  Losing both of their top receivers really hurt them.  Young threw like 57 times; Bennett had 26 attempts, I think.  Tells you a lot about their respective game plans.  Bill O'Brien was a liability for Bama.

    All in all, an entertaining season and an entertaining championship game.  I'm happy for Georgia.  Long time coming for them.  We know the feeling.

    Thank you for the kind words. It has been an enjoyable week. 

     

    A lot of guys have said similar things about our schedule and belonging in the playoff after the SECCG loss, but that is how the system works now. I will also say we played Clempson (#3), Ark (#8), Aub (#18), UK (#10), Mich (#2) and UAT (#1). Ark and Aub each played UAT extremely tough. It is however, our fault that each of the ranked teams we beat dropped after we beat them ...

    As far as the playoff bid after losing the SECCG, the purpose of the formula is to find the four best teams. Period. This is how UAT keeps getting in without winning it's own division. UGA was unequivocally one of the four best. We knew that going into the SECCG, and the coaching staff planned ahead to the NCG knowing we'd wipe the floor with either Cincy or Mich. The rematch is the one that would count, so we used the first game to play vanilla and see how UAT attacked. 

    You saw Monday we brought a lot more pressure on BY who, for the most part, couldn't handle it. 

     

    As far as injures, we had several guys who started the season opener out of the game and guys like Pickens just coming back from off season ACL surgery. We were far from healthy. The fumble return for a TD and the fumble call on Bennett's incompletion is a 14-point swing.

    Agreed. Bama passed that test and beat the #1 bestest team in America in early December. Bama's reward? Hey, you have to do it again in early January! It was bullshit when it happened to LSU (vs Bama) and it was bullshit when it happened to Florida State (vs Florida). As long as only four teams get in, two shouldn't come from the same conference. The problem is Bama probably steamrolls Cincy, Michigan, Baylor or whoever else you would've put in there. Therefore, the answer is the playoff needs to be expanded yesterday.

    That's what happens when you lose to A&M. 

    At least UGA won its division and went 12-0 in the regular season. UAT has two natties won in season in which they didn't win their own division. 

    That said, we definitely need an 8- or 12-team playoff.

    I posted this in the Sugar thread back when this happened, but when I saw this live on tv I *almost* got in my car to drive to NO and offer to suit up…and I’m a class of ‘02 Poke who had no skin in the game.  What an awesome game that was, as I recall the Georgia trolls posting here ahead of time. 

    They weren't UGA fans. We have rivals like tech, Aub and Fla that send guys like that out to ruin our rep and piss off opponents. But you are doing something when your rivals hate you that much and are that insecure.

    or maybe expand it to 32 teams with 2 16 team leagues and 8 four team pods.  7 from each league make the playoffs with the winner of each league playing for the NCAA championship.

    Let's expand to 32 so SEC teams can annihilate more non-SEC teams on the way to the final. Oh yeah, and Clempson. Though I think they are done. Dabo jumped the shark.
