I'm trying to do the mental gymnastics to get Oregon back in the playoff hunt.
Really though, I've been unsold on this coaching crew since day 1. Hoping for them to unleash their metric fuck at Washington next week to at least carry some form of consistency even if it means a 3-9 season. If we don't beat Washington I hope they win the national title. Would be nice for the league.
Also, I like what Hoke has brought in some ways. The personnel just isn't there. The change seems a year late. Couple that with no QB dev and a new OC… Yeah.
Bright spot is that the Eugene Kid backup true freshman came in and led an 85 yard TD drive in his sleep tonight.

We may never recover from this seven point loss
That score was not indicative of how Michigan dominated the game.
Yeah, really bad. Guess they practice that the end of practice every Thursday. The guys knew what to do, just didn't do it. College football in a nutshell. UGA football in particular.
How not to defend a hail mary. I am not even sure you can call that luck. Just terrible defense.
This picture is fantastic.
And this picture from UGA wide receiver Reggie Wilkerson is interesting. Don't think he's played at all this year, but maybe the older members of the team like him haven't bought into what Kirby is selling.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Morning after and I still think Louisville got jobbed on the road by ACC refs. Is what it is though.
I think I'm more pissed at my dumb fellow tech fans.
Hey we played Miami pretty much even if you don't count spotting them 14 and take out the penalities!
Except you know the turnovers and penalities count, and that's on us.
Smh

To be fair that is what the ESPN announce team was saying over and over and over.

Clemson jumped up to 3rd in coaches poll Louisville drops to 8th

Seems legit. UM coulda been 3rd, but apparently we don't have a FG kicker. So I respect that.
Clemson didn't jump Michigan in coaches poll, they were ranked 4 last week

Think Michigan should be ranked above Clemson, no reason for them to jump us, Michigan has looked better, with more wins over ranked teams...

So surprised to see MSU unranked for the first time in forever, but it's also a Dickensian masterpiece to the eyes.

Colorado ranked, what a time to be alive.
USC got two points in the Coach's poll. Clay Helton has a vote.

Miami, Washington, Colorado and Nebraska have combined for 1 loss. Truly it is 1992 again.
and that 1 loss was to a top 5 team
I'm okay with this.

Fork 'em, Sparky!
It is batshit insane. I am loving this year. I am hoping we go into Wisconsin 7-0, with attrition, that puts us around 8th or so. Hot damn!

Ohio state corners didn't allow any completions against them. Team as a whole only allowed 3 completions, 0 in the second half.
That's great, too bad George Teague didn't have a kid who could play Safety at Alabama and wreck the Hurricane's again....

Turns out relying on transfers isn't a good strategy
Eh, we had a couple of drops.
Rutgers has no qb, and our only wr that can actually play was lost for the season last week.
Don't get me wrong you guys are good, but Flood completely fucked up the WR/TE situation for Rutgers, so that Ahmir Mitchell will be our No 1 WR by default next year.
It kinda sucks though, we had a decent defensive line (Darius Hamilton) and that will be gone next week.
Heh, "They weren't storming it back in January, though."
Every 18 year old kid thinks they're much better than an equivalently ranked 22 year old kid that has been through 3 full seasons of games and offseason conditioning at the D1 level.
Skiesofwonder
Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
For the record, I believe Tennessee will lose their next two games. Playing sloppily in the first half is going to bite us in the ass eventually, and once again poor play calling at the end of the game is what put us in the situation of needing a Hail Mary in the first place. We aren't going to continue to get those breaks. At some point or another, we are going to have to out couch the oppostion, and I don't think this coaching staff is capable of that.
But with that said, if the Vols do the unthinkable and sweep both A&M and Bama, wouldn't we be deserving of the #1 spot? Because right now the rankings don't seem to be playing out that way. We have now beaten three teams that at one point or another were ranked in the top 25. Yet as of today, we are sitting at the same place in the rankings as we were going into season; #9.
I know in the end it won't matter, if the Vols win out or go 1-1 over the next two weeks and make it to SEC championship game unscathed from there, then a win in Atlanta would in all likelyhood put us into the playoffs. But the AP ranking still rubs me the wrong way when none of teams ahead of us have been penalized for playing down to their competition like we were opening week.
What im trying to say is that if we somehow pull these next two weeks off, we will easily have the most impressive resume of the remaining unbeatens. At that point we better start getting the proper amount of respect for thr guantlet we just conquered, and be placed at the top of the rankings like we deserve. Or else.... shit what do I even care for? The AP is bullshit anyways. Bring on the committee rankings.

I'd watch an FSU/Oregon toilet bowl.
Eh, Adams was damn good. Oregon probably would've made the playoff last year had he stayed healthy. Sad part is that the reliance on transfer showed as the team went to shit without him (see the 31-0 blown lead vs. TCU).
Pretty much this.
Alabama has signed 5 or so OLBs over the last 3 recruiting cycles.
It's nuts.

Some opening lines for this week:
Clemson -17
LSU -1/-2.5
Washington -8.5
USC -4.5 (This smells like Vegas trying to make easy money)
Miami -1.5/-2
Stanford -12/-8.5
CAL! -10
Oklahoma -7/-10
UNC -6.5/-2.5
Notre Dame -2.5/-1
aTm -6.5
Alabama -13
Clemson -17
LSU -1/-2.5
Washington -8.5
USC -4.5 (This smells like Vegas trying to make easy money)
Miami -1.5/-2
Stanford -12/-8.5
CAL! -10
Oklahoma -7/-10
UNC -6.5/-2.5
Notre Dame -2.5/-1
aTm -6.5
Alabama -13
Well, one has left (Adonis Thomas), one is in the rotation (Rashaan Evans), one is a top 10 pick DE/DT (Jonathan Allen) and the other is starting to see more playing time (Christian Miller).
Still leaves Mehki Brown and Ronnie Clark, who I'm not sure where they are at. Nevermind that Ben Davis and Mack Wilson just arrived in the summer. If there's one area, barring injury or transfer, that we probably will be excellent at for the next few years, is LB.
Realizing that Josh Jacobs was a 3 star RB/APB is crazy. I know the opponent level wasn't there the last 2 games, but he's showing outstanding moves from the RB spot.
Ronnie Clark is a back up RB.
How does one even distribute all the playing time? I feel as if kids at Bama have to wait 2 years or so to even get some decent playing time.
Reuben Foster did not see significant playing time until he was a Junior (last year). It's just how it is.
As a fellow Gator, I share in the jealousy.
