OTHER GAMES

I hope these first four games are not all blowouts except ours. The playoff naysayers will be screaming loudly about reducing it back to 4 teams.

I think (sometimes) this is unlikely. I think you will see and effort to rely on the strength of the schedule or some such wich will be resited by every conference not SEC. The only thing that will significantly change this is a complete remake ie them v us SEC v Big or a system like soccer top 64 and everyone else, worst 6 teamd drop out, best 6 teams drop in.

Crazy but remember that an undefeated Texas team was cosen by one percent against USC in 2006 despite a night win against tOSU and Vince (not a Heisman) Young. Merit should matter but in College Football pedigree is too important.
 
Indiana looks pretty bad. ND could beat Georgia. Georgia has been beat up hard this year. Every team is degrading over time, and I think that favors us in these playoffs.
 
ND looked SEC ready last night. I think they will handle a banged-up Georgia. Irish are really good. Their running back breaking a 98-yard TD run was impressive. That RB may be the fastest I've seen this year.

This is a "classic" Notre Dame team. Big strong brutish linemen (some with difficult to pronounce names). Speed on the edges that only looks slower due to the black shoes.

Not so fast. Beating Indiana by 10 isn't a very good yardstick. I suspect it will be a "field goal" game with UGa having the better kicker.

Love was the 100m Missouri state champion in HS. That dude has serious speed - and, he’s strong and athletic, too. Stiff arms that IU back to the ground like it was cool. And has leaped over tacklers all season. Reminds me a bit of Adrian Peterson’s once in a generation athletic talent.

14 point swing. Missed the TE open for a td on fourth and then a horrible pass for a pick 6. SMU definitely appears to have more speed overall.

He was getting serious pressure but these two teams seem relatively equal. Looked like the tight end could have caught that. Cold hands?
 
The ball was behind the TE allowing the d-back to make the play. If the qb gets it out front the TE walks in. The SMU qb has floated some passes today.
