I think the NCAA rule book says “blindside,” but the definition is back towards your own endzone + something other than straight on. Again, I’m going from memory and not trying to be disagreeable.

You very well may be right, I've just never heard that rule.

Blindside is typically from anywhere the person being blocked can't see it coming, regardless of relation to the goal line. Lots of blindside happen when a blocker is running away from his own goal line and the defender is coming across the field.

I know peel back blocks have a criteria where you can't be moving parallel to or toward your own goal line, but that's for a hit below the waist.

Could be I just don't know the rule though. Either way, MM was definitely close to getting a flag but I think the official did the right thing by holstering it.

Considering we lost the SECC and missed the title game in ‘01 I would say the best since ‘98….compounded by our long journey in the wilderness just 4 years ago.

It FEELS as good as 2022 though

I guess you could look at the 01 SEC title game as a playoff game. 1 loss regular season, one win away from a title game.

2 loss regular season...3 wins away from a title game "ugh"

Just give me a dang home playoff game. Gimme the chocolate covered peanut butter balls with a coach on the way out and we baptize them in our hillbilly hellfire.

We agree on the ref making the right call in the situation. 👊

I know some were griping at the beginning of the Vandy game, I didn't get on here, but overall our fans are loyal. I watched Georgia fans filing out against Georgia Tech, and 20 percent Vandy audience for Vandy/Vols in their stadium. Those were huge games, too.

As McGill has said many times, we have the best fans in cfb, and the worst. Both are true.

The committee sure has made it evident that they do not give a RATS ASS about head to head

It is ALL about eye test and recency bias. It's almost like they go out of their way to not anyone credit for actually beating someone.

I think that has to change. A seasons full body of work has to count for something. That includes the crap losses.

It's about corruption...records, schedules and head to head etc etc mean little. They will do what they want and their media sockpuppets will sell it unabashedly.
