As of right now:
Rose Bowl: Winner of CCG vs Winner of B1G CCG most likely
Alamo Bowl: Loser of CCG vs Gondo State
Holiday Bowl: Oregon vs someone from the B1G (Looks like possibly the #2 or #3 team but it could be as low as the #5 team)
Foster Farms Bowl: Utah/Wazzu vs someone from the B1G (Looks like the #9 team?)
Sun Bowl: Utah/Wazzu vs someone from the ACC (#3-#6)
Las Vegas Bowl: UCLA vs the MWC #1 or BYU
Cactus Bowl: Cal vs Texas Tech (oh man this would be great)
After that UW, Arizona and Arizona State are all left to accept at large bids.

CBS Sports predicts ND vs. FSU for the Peach Bowl. I can absolutely get behind that.
As much as I think that should be the case, I just don't know if the committee will see it that way. at best this week they'll move up to #11 in the ranking, and jumping seven spots would be a whole lot even for beating #1. I think it's more likely they put OSU, or maybe even Stanford, in in that scenario. It sucks, but I think that's how it would go.

So apparently Les was told he was going to stay after the game today. Thats pretty weak by the AD.
I like the guy, but he needs to improve his SEC record next year for sure.
Id like to see Oklahoma v Alabama in a playoff game, it will be a close one.
Im hoping UNC demolish Clemson now though.
And Im a little disappointed ND are knocked out. If Fuller and Kaizer are playing next year and they get some of their other players back from injury, they will be a pretty good team.

Especially if it's Iowa.
I guess all the coaching moves start now. Hopefully coordinators at schools in CCGs wait to interview, at least. NFL guys saying USC will still pursue Chip, but after the year. Not sure how that would work since they would have no fallback
Oklahoma is getting a lot of mileage off that fluke win at Tennessee. Glad you guys had a good year after a rocky start!
e: Virginia fired Mike London

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Not only that, but looking at the top four, we slaughtered a similar Iowa team less than a year ago (albeit it was a throwaway bowl game), completely dominated Oklahoma for three quarters only to lose a 14 point lead via unnecessary DPI calls, and went punch to punch with Alabama @ Tuscaloosa.
After watching Clemson play South Carolina, is there any doubt that we could hold our own against the top 4 if we played today? I guess that's something to be optimistic about.

Still grumpy about Miles staying our fans are the worst. They want his head when we're losing but then make sure to pressure brass to make him stay.
I hope he gets an extension and an increased buyout. Make sure he can never leave just so the fans live with their dumb decision and mediocrity in the SEC West.

Who was going to be walking through that door to replace him? As long as Saban is in your division, you have no shot anyway.
Jimbo probably said go pound sand - because that's about the only candidate currently in CFB that would be remotely worthy. Unless you were hoping for Kelly to become available out of Philly.

So you wanted to replace a guy who has
1)won you a national championship and taken you to another
2) has lost only 32 games at LSU.
3) currently has the number 2 recruiting class in the country
With who exactly?

I blame the fans for yesterday's loss to Maryland.
Them booing Laviano is what caused the players to lose hope & lead to the game winning touchdown run.
Looking forward to next season with Flood & Hermann.

They'd be stupid to wait, they have to get the jump on securing this year's class.
They're both gone according to a poster let's call him ... "erm" to protect his identity.

Man I'd just want to throw up if UNC makes the CFP going 1-0 in meaningful games they've played all year. They pretty much played the dregs of the ACC minus maybe Duke. Their OOC is a joke even losing to South Carolina. You can basically schedule no one and make it as long as you beat the bad teams in your conference and beat the one good team you play? So why did they keep Baylor out last year then? Dumb dumb dumb. Keep them out.

Yeah can't think of any legitimate reason to include them if they beat Clemson. Just none at all. Sure they have just one loss at the beginning of the season, but their schedule is absolute trash. Their OOC sucked. Their division sucked. 2 FCS teams. Didn't even play FSU.... or even UL. Just suck all around. If they beat Clemson, bump them up to 5 and tell them to try again next year and don't schedule 2 FCS teams to start. Zero preferably.

Stanford deserves it more
Look at that schedule! 9 conference games, and 10 win Northwestern on the road and 10 win Notre Dame at home. If they only had one loss they'd easily be #2 in my book.

Sealed his fate when he hired Schottenheimer
I have always felt Georgia is one of the "sleeping giant" programs that some coach can come in and win titles at. Blue blood school, money, good recruits close by. Helps they are in the SECE of course

So who does UGA look at?
Dunno but gonna be hard as shit to get someone to leave a good job to go somewhere where you can be as successful as he was and then get fired after coing 9-3.

Nose how to spell and rede to
You're damn right
SECE is so weird, there's three schools there that should be absolute monsters and all are underperfomring (Tenn, Florida, Uga).
Wow, Les in, Richt out. A day ago, I would have told you the exact opposite was going to happen.
You're not wrong. It's a conference division that has heaps and heaps of talent but always underperforms in execution.
Muschamp is gone, we have a 10-2 regular season with an SEC Championship slot, and a chance for a nice bowl. Our offense sucks and we lost a completely miserable game to FSU, but I'm not necessarily crying over here. We'll likely retain Nussmeier and Collins (hopefully), which means we can focus on getting good recruits. I think the wind's blowing in our favor right now, and if we can just get some kind of good QB situation for next year along with some offensive line, our young receiving and rushing corps should do really well. The question mark will be how much our defense will begin to fall off as muschamp's recruits start leaving, but I think Collins is pretty smart and can fill in the gaps.

Les Mi--- wait a sec...
No idea how to take this news, but this season has been trademark UGA.
Big conference losses do them in every time.
Welp, didn't think this day would come. Thanks to Coach Richt for taking the program to places it hadn't been in 20 years. Now that they've made the decision, they need to make a home run hire. You can't fire a coach with a shot at 10 wins and go out and get a mid-major coach.
Let's see what you got, McGarity. I bet Jeff Schultz and Mark Bradley at the AJC are high fiving themselves right now.

What's worse, ACC Coastal or SEC East?
anyway, relevant championship games:
B1G: Iowa vs Michigan State (basically a quarterfinal)
Pac-12: Stanford vs USC, I wonder if Stanford has an outside shot at the playoff still?
SEC: Alabama vs Florida
ACC: Clemson vs UNC
AAC (for the G5 spot): Houston vs Temple

Andy... It happened.
Same. I think we're ahead of the division right now.
I'm honestly still in shock. Not sure how to feel about this. I feel like the only way you do this is if you've already talked to a coach that you consider a home run hire and you have a verbal agreement from them to come.
I do also like to think Richt was given the option of retiring and he said "you'll have to fire me because I'm not giving up."
I like the idea of us not being okay with 10 wins but not much else to show but that, but the odds of getting worse than that with a replacement are greater than improving on that.
Rutgers AD is out. Flood to follow soon.

Kifkins getting ready to locate a bit further north
Haha I don't even know how I'd handle it if UGA were to get him. It'd be some mental gymnastics to make myself okay with it. Probably how the tOSU fans here made themselves okay with Urban.
This statement makes it sound like they tried to make it more like resigning.
If Richt couldn't win the east this year...
I think once he gets a new situation, a new school, he will be refreshed and able to perform. But he didn't beat a single good team this year.
Now the question is Eason. He can claim that his loyalty was to the school and not the coach, but that is borderline irrational so I don't believe that.

It really isn't, there's so many job openings this year.
Why would they do that? He's a great fit for UGA at GT.
I'm curious what happens with Eason as well. They need to move quickly on a hire and it needs to be one that will utilize his talents.
Good list from Dean Legge of Dawg Post of potential candidates.

I mean, looking at the rest of the SEC East, I would sincerely hope so.
