What Other Message Boards Are Saying (UGA Post Playoff Rankings Edition)

lol counter every fact. What Fact? They aren't facts they are opinions. I ask for a link, so that they can prove it is a fact, and they can't provide it and that's my fault for not believing them? If you make an allegation, burden is on you to prove it not for me to disprove it. The other opinion's aren't facts either. "Crowd noise will affect GA more than UT" isn't a fact because it hasn't happened yet. "There is more pressure on Georgia than UT" is also an opinion.

I told you I'm here for discussion. Of course some of my opinions aren't going to be compatible with your opinions. Do you not want discussion and different opinions here?
It's been said on just about every rankings show for the past couple of weeks. You obviously haven't paid attention to anything. Believe what you want and just be wrong. I dgaf

Uga needs the win now than UT based on the models. UT has a much better shot at still making the playoffs with a loss than uga does. It's based on actual numbers not feelings.

I think the “more pressure on UGA to win” is due to the fact that your SOS hasn’t been as tough as ours. That’s how I interpret it. Listen us UT fans are confident and UGA fans should be as well. I have no idea how tomorrow will go but from the outside looking in, this sets up up to be very competitive.

The consensus on several neutral boards is that we are going to lose a close one. Everyone is doubting (most think we will beat spread though).
 
Playing on the road in front of 92K+ will be an issue. However, the effects should be somewhat lessened due to how our offense operates. Will we commit more penalties than Georgia? Absolutely, we already do. Will we need to minimize penalties as much as possible to keep from giving up cheap first downs and getting in 3rd and long? Absolutely.

I keep hearing in all of these Georgia reaction videos a constant theme of "now you have to play somebody" or "at least play someone away from home." Umm, we've played Bama. And we played LSU in Baton Rouge. Compare that schedule to Georgia's. Georgia has played a terrible schedule. The only reason they are ranked as high as they are is they are getting credit for week 8 Oregon, which CLEARLY not the same team as week 1 Oregon.

Yeah, I'd feel much better about this game if it were in Neyland. But it's not. But I have zero worries about our guys focus and being able to handle the atmosphere. Not because Georgia is an easy place to play, it most certainly is not. But these guys don't flinch.

Georgia doesn't sack the QB. We don't give up a ton of sacks. Georgia has some weak spots in their secondary. We've run the ball every bit as well as Georgia against a tougher schedule. They are without their best OLB. If we keep Bennett from scrambling for first downs on 3rd and 9 and can slow down those tight ends somewhat we win.

In fact, I'll say this. If we get 150 yards rushing, we win. Keep their defense honest and it's ball game, because Stetson Bennett cannot beat us in a shootout.

Sure I get that and I'm not even denying that. But I also made some points on why there is also pressure on Tennessee players for this game. Calling either fact is kinda a stretch, they are opinions on who has more pressure on them. I think it's about equal. The only way it would be a fact is if you went around asked every Georgia and Tennessee player and they answered truthfully. Something that isn't going to happen.

I think Ga has played in some big games the last few years and is at home. So I think they will cope with the pressure fairly well. We have 5 or 6 super seniors that I don’t think will be rattled either. I hope both teams are on their A game and may the best team win .
 
Hey dumbazzdawg, go listen to smart in the nsfw thread….does he sound like he feels pressure?

It's gonna be a good one. Good luck to ya'll as well
 
our defense uses hand signals too so idk why some people here are saying it will affect us but not you.
It probably has something to do with the fact that it is a lot easier to communicate with hand signals with about 35 seconds to do so. It's not so easy when that time period is more like 7 to 10 seconds, and when you screw up the result is Hyatt dancing in the end zone after yet ANOTHER touchdown reception.

fair enough and good point. We'll see tomorrow

You have ignored several Facts SOR & SOS for one. That does not seem to bother you because it does not fit your argument.
You ignored the fact that you are several players down for this game and filled it in with a player that is a top 5 supposedly pick 2 years from now. Even though his stats were built around a DL that was all NFL last year. He has not pulled those numbers because of the missing supporting cast.
This year your OL is not as strong as last years plus injuries.
Who are the key players for GA in this game? Your DC is gone from last year?
Just stick your head in the door after the game.

What are you talking about? You guys have a better SOR & SOS than us, I've said that multiple times now. How many times do you want me to repeat it?

In regards to what? Nolan, Milton and AD Mitchell are out this game and Jalen Carter is back for this game. He's been injured and only played 2 full games this year, no **** he doesn't have the same numbers as last year lol


"this year your OL is not as strong as last years plus injuries."

I have no idea if this OL is better than last year but 3 of the 5 guys were here last year and we don't have any starters injured so idk what you're talking about with that.

Key players are probably Stetson Bennett, Jalen Carter, and Mykel Williams. Stetson is obvious. Jalen Carter for penetration and Mykel cause we need someone to hold the edge with nolan out. DC is Muschamp who was co-DC last year but Kirby also has a say, this is his defense after all.

I'll be here after the game regardless of who wins. Will you?

Dude if we are still here after this decade of misery then there is nothing your little team can do Saturday to drive us away! This fan base doesn’t quit!
It will be more fun to celebrate after we win though!
 
My thought is that GA will use the Old Fake Injury Approach.
oh yeah. i have a feeling that will definitely happen
If GA does it, it tells me all I need to know that they are not worthy of the high ranking.
If Georgia wins, your opinion of them won't really matter
Nope.

GA would need to beat AL(assuming it's Bama) to insure a playoff spot if they blatantly flop against us.

11-1 Vols > 12-1 Mutts to the CFP committee if you have to repeatedly flop against us.
A couple flops would probably be overlooked. Anything like Ole'Miss did last year would probably cost you as a 1 loss team.

Georgia would have to beat Bama regardless to get into the playoffs. 12-1 Bama would be in over 12-1 Georgia and Tennessee might also get in over Georgia anyways unless Georgia blows out UT(doubtful) so the flopping changes nothing. It also depends on how the rest of the other top teams do.

You answered the last question but not my other questions. When did I deny SOS or SOR? What Georgia injuries did I ignore? What did you mean by plus injuries on the OL?

Consider after all the conferences have played out, there are only 3 undefeated conference Champs.
Say Big10-Ohio St, ACC-Clemson, SEC-GA
(typing "GA" made me throw up in my mouth btw)

That's 3 teams in.

Many people think TN is almost a lock to trump the Big12/Pac12 11-1/12-1 conference Champs, and other prominent 11-1/12-1 contenders off the strength of their schedule.

Most people are only considering that within the context of GA being undefeated and already in the CFP.

Now let's consider undefeated 12-0 GA loses to 11-1 AL in the SECCG. Suddenly the three playoff locks are

Ohio St, Clemson, and AL.

As long as GA doesn't get blown out against AL they're still in. However if GA loses decisively against Bama(2 score) and blatantly flopped against TN, there's a chance TN sneaks past them.

I added to this to my other comment but I think you guys would get in over GA anyways unless GA blows out UT(unlikely). Plus there is the chance that TCU goes undefeated so they might prevent any 2nd SEC team from entering the playoffs.

That would suck.

Hopefully, TCU would somehow pull Clemson in the 1st round, as I believe they'd beat Clemson. Won't happen, they'd be 4th playing Oh St/SEC Champ, while Clemson would be 3rd and get the 2nd seed.

Regardless, TCU would probably get castigated by most 1 loss fan bases as the lucky pretender that cost their "legitimate" team a spot in the playoff.

Clemson is the biggest pretender out of all the contenders IMHO. I absolutely can't stand ND, but I'm hoping they pull off the upset tomorrow.

Back to what matters - UT vs Mutts!!

What happens if we manage to knock the mighty midget Bennett out of the game or severely hinder him?
Is your backup mobile? Do you try and execute the same gameplan from the pocket? Who is your backup?

If you make us turn to Milton we know it hurts, but we're not in total despair. We probably still take the same amount of shots down the field just to make you respect his cannon even if he's not connecting much.
What changes are the manageable 2nd&3rd downs. We're probably doing more QB designed runs, TE screens, & HB counters off the read option.
Then, as long as we can keep you spread out, we might loosen up and try his accuracy throwing more quick WR outs to the far hashmarks like we do with Hooker.

Carson Beck is the backup and honestly he has looked great in his minutes this year. It's honestly at the point where if Stetson looks like crap, I wouldn't mind Beck getting looks(not this game unless Stetsons hurt). He's got a great arm and can be mobile. He's greatly improved with going through the progressions and decision makings and will be the starter next year. Here's some video of him vs Vandy for some progressions and mobility.


and here is his deep ball

This is Joe Milton's last year right or does he have 1 more year left? I'm curious to see how we defend Hooker's mobility. I imagine we have a QB spy at the beginning of the game and see how that goes
