lol we could only wish. Some how Lebby is convince it wasn't hustlers fault. I will say whoever set up his contract needs to be fired. That was unnecessary
keystone cops. More Curley and Larry run this Football program

Georgia looked tired. Their backup quarterback did not play well. I'm surprised Kirby didn't have his team more prepared than that on offense; at least, they did not look prepared for the looks that Notre Dame gave them on defense. It's sad that the best they had to hope for was Beck. They're a team that had a quarterback problem from the beginning.

The question now is. Does the long layoff hurt the bye teams and give a little advantage to the teams that played the week prior assuming they came out healthy.
It hurt weak teams given byes. They could have been eliminated a week earlier

The best QB in the SEC is in Oxford. Glad he's gone after this game.

Brandon Walker: I must say it is interesting that the fall of the SEC’s dominance, the fall of Alabama, and Georgia coming back to normal all happened as soon as every team could start legally paying players.

The SEC is getting beat the way it used to beat people, by being physically pummeled up front. The SEC has become the Big 12.
Yes a physically weak conference. I complained a lot about too much emphasis to passing game and receivers qbs and not the defensive front under leach and Lebby. Seems other conferences got that. We still building wrong places

I don’t think Georgia could score a point against Ohio State
We are seeing the effect of the bigger playoff. Sometimes it’s just hard for teams, especially (paid) college teams, to stay motivated when they know they are in the playoff field.

Sec has been over rated and mediocre most of the season. Big 10 is your premier league now. Portal and nil has evened things out. Notre Dame seemed do finally figured out how to be physical like the big 10. SEC isn't as dominant physically as it once was. Big 10 notre dame a few Deon other conferences figured out big boy football. Great defensive fronts at these schools they used to not have
I do wonder about the effect of big money. SEC has money but they don’t have B1G money.

Said the same thing. At the very least, they could have approached the line less hurried and frazzled and minimized the number of hard counts ND could throw at them.

That’s really where ND clinched this game.
ND clinched when Beck got hurt.

Ped State will beat them, and tOSU will beat both Texas and Ped State by 30.

Worst outcome imaginable for the first playoff, unless you live in the Rust Belt.

ND defense is very good, PSU ND will be a close game, I give ND the edge

They've looked underwhelming on offense most of the year.

It certainly doesn’t help. Although I don’t think any of those 4 games would have turned out differently if the bye teams had played and won a week and a half ago. Ridiculous seeding had a lot to do with it. You had arguably the best 4 teams playing each other in the quarter finals.

Big 10 and a few others from big 12/acc started getting series about defense. Ohio State pen state and notre dame all have pretty stout defensive front seven. They didn't have that like the sec when the sec went on their dominant run. Sec wouldn't let anyone score. Now it's the sec that has trouble scoring. I think sec focused too much on high scoring offenses while big ten maintained tough physical ball. Paying off now. Notre Dame has figured that out with coach freeman
