Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I don't understand why the runner is fully allowed to lower his head into hits but the defender isn't allowed to do the same. The way targeting is ruled, the offensive player's safety is placed entirely in the hands of the defender.

I still remember the goalline play against Alabama a few years back when Daniel Bituli was ejected for targeting... on a play where the hit occurred about a foot and a half off the grass. An offensive player dives headfirst, and somehow the defender is expected to adjust to that in real time? Come on now.
 
Sooo is this good for us or bad? Texas could barely beat uga when they played their worst game and half of it with a backup. Does Texas fall enough to impact our seeding?
In a world where the committee actually follows their previously established guidelines and precedents, yes. But sadly we don’t live in that world. So they’ll replace UGA as the 6th seed and we’ll stay at the 8 and go to OSU.
 
I know it can’t work out this way but they really should separate each SEC team into their own bracket in the playoffs.

Everyone knows it’s the best overall conference and if they did separate them, I’d guarantee 3/4 of the semifinal spots would be SEC.
