Georgia does not deserve the Sugar Bowl

There is a risk of that in every game. There is a risk of that in practice. It's not the way a competitor thinks and it wasn't common until very recently (Christian McCaffrey of Stanford). Can you name a projected first round NFL Draft pick who hurt his draft stock from being injured in a bowl game? I've been trying to think of one and can't do it, but if you know of one, I'm open to it.

Yes I can. Both in the last few years.

I don't recall Jake Butt ever being a projected first round draft pick... but I'll take your word for it. Jaylon Smith was drafted 34th? That is just barely outside of the first round. I don't think it cost him too much. There is always a risk in playing this game, but it's definitely not common and like I said, if there was ever a player who should have opted out of playing his bowl game... it was Peyton Manning in the '98 Orange Bowl. The competitor in him, couldn't do it.

You never know. It’s been a cultural shift that makes sense. Suppose he’s not from an extremely wealthy background and has a infant kid? Circumstances make all the difference.

He was projected 2nd round; after his injury he dropped to 5th.

They’re getting the big head just like Bama. They think they automatically belong, when everybody else knows you have to earn your way in. Neither of those teams are better than anyone else and can be beaten anytime. Nothing lasts forever.

Actually, both these teams are better than most in the country. I’m looking forward to watching the game and hope that Baylor beats the hell out of Georgia.

I’m talking about in terms of thinking they should automatically be in.

Cade Mays starting at LT. I’m going to watch him specifically to see how he grades . Just in case he transfers to UT.

Georgia's offense is hard to watch. Kind of like ours at the beginning of the season.

Georgia. - One can make a case for them as the most talented team in the SEC for the past 2 years and nothing to show for it.
