So, the big question is…..Can UT beat Georgia?
- Thread starter Poultrygeist
- Start date
I still take Georgia in that matchup. UT is really coming on strong, but when UGA is “up” for a game this season they’ve looked unstoppable on both sides of the ball. They’ll be up for UT.
I think GA controls the clock with ball possession to keep TN offense off the field to win this game.
I think all the elites have taken a step back this year. Talent is beginning to be come more spread out due to nil and transfers. Georgia last year would beat Georgia this year by 3 touchdowns. Same for Alabama
I think that the SEC and NCAA Playoff committee are about to have some very difficult scenarios. If UGA, UT, and Bama all end up with one loss, who will they take? UT could beat UGA and lose to Bama in the SECC game. UGA could beat UT and lose to Bama in the SECC game. If the winner of the east UGA/UT win the SECC game, then it is a little easier as they should come be undefeated and then the committee has to decide if they want to take a one loss SEC runner up over what's left out there. (Michigan, Ohio State, Clemson. etc.) This could be a real mess. UT is certainly exciting and a big story this year but their rise could make some decisions kind of difficult. There's a lot of football left to be played and injuries happen. If Hooker goes down, then all bets are off. Us or Kentucky could knock them out of the discussion. We'll just have to see how it plays out. Gooo Gamecocks!!
On a given day if the game is played at UT...Just like Bama...are they better than either NO...
UT winning in Knoxville before 100K plus fans vs Bama, and beating UGA in front of 95K screaming against them is two very different scenarios. UT can score, can they stop a fairly potent UGA offense? UGA gets my nod in Sanford Stadium!!
They do have momentum, but I feel like uga is better than Bama this year again, and the game is at uga. I wouldn't put much money on it, but I think uga wins.
Crap, this is akin to picking yer favorite east division redneck!
Pick yer poisonCrap, this is akin to picking yer favorite east division redneck!
Whoever can get us the highest finish in the SEC. We have yet to play UT so purely mathematically, we want UGA to beat UT and we beat UT. Stupid reasoning because we aren’t that good or lucky. That will be a big game for them. Let’s win what we can and get a warm weather bowl game!?
All we really need to happen:
-Cocks win their final 4 conference games
-UGa lose to Tennessee & KY
-Tennessee lose to KY
COCKS WIN THE EAST!!
-Cocks win their final 4 conference games
-UGa lose to Tennessee & KY
-Tennessee lose to KY
COCKS WIN THE EAST!!
Stop my beating heart
Simple, isn't it?
if we have 2 losses and uga has 2 losses, they still beat us
I think there is 0% chance they take 3 SEC teams. So Id say the 2 division winners are in. They’d both have 12 wins vs 11 also. Id say especially if UGA is the third team who didnt win their division. The committee and fans dont want yet another Bama/Georgia/Clemson playoff
The way I see it, UGa owes us 1 or 2 "sneaking in the backdoor" to win the East deals, seeing how 2011 & 2012 played out.
Not if there's a 4 or 3 way tie like I described. It would then go to best East record, which we'd have over them. Has to be the scenario I described.
All I can say for certain about them is that they aren't as stout as last year.
Tenn. will be able to score with anyone most games. Off games happen...but that offense has proven for over 20 years that it is a force to be reckoned with in collegiate football. Tenn. will also be able to score bunches in short amount of time...so always have a chance. That said...I don't think most defenses can match up to the talent and system GA has in place. They have 3 all Pro (NFL) tight ends on their roster right now. Matchup nightmare.
