I almost always pull for the underdog in the national champiomship game unless Clemson or a Carolina team would be playing,so i will be rooting for Georgia to upset Alabama..

But Bama is the underdog!  😁

I know where you are coming from though....I would have Bama as the favorite to win, but there's a reason I am not running a book in Vegas.

I think if Georgia makes the necessary defensive adjustments they can get more pressure on Young and make his life more difficult than they did in the SEC championship.  It's going to be tough though as they have to stop the run and make Young one dimensional and keep a spy on him.

Hope Georgia can do it!

UGA is a 3 point favorite.

Thanks for the heads up ladypanther, how dumb of me,one would think the #1 rated team would be favored over the # 3 rated team.

Serves me right for just assuming and shooting my mouth off before I checked. However,I still plan on rooting for Georgia.

("INDIANAPOLIS — No. 1 Alabama is a 3-point underdog against No. 3 Georgia heading into the College Football Playoff championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium on Monday ")

I think Bama’s game plan should be to intentionally be one dimensional to a degree.  

let the pass setup some running but screw trying to come out and run the football

I'm going to sound like a contrarian here but college football is what MLB used to be (and still might be at times) - the best teams have the biggest payrolls and the top rarely ever changes. How the hell is it even interesting at this point?

Look, Clemson and Ohio St aren’t  in the playoffs this year! Totally different.  And Bama missed that one time too.  Remember!  lol. 

But yeah, you right.   you can pretty much pick some variation of Bama, Clemson, Ohio St, random SEC team, Notre Dame and almost hit it every year.  OU obviously prior to the move and now just lump them into the random one year SEC rotation.

Honestly, I can't really disagree but I'm a football junkie.

In a good year, my Tar Heels will have 3-4 guys looking at getting drafted. Bama has 3-4 guys looking at getting drafted in the 1st ROUND most years.

They may very well do this - it would definitely apply pressure to Georgia's secondary.

With a team as talented as Alabama you are damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I'm die-hard NFL but have never been able to get into college sports, even growing up with (somewhat) local football programs like Nebraska in the 90s and K-State in the 2000s (Snyder and his cupcakes...) as well as KU basketball just down the road. I've tried to get interested but it all feels so fake/pointless and contrived.

Even in the heart of what used to be the voracious KU/MU rivalry I just never got it.

Anyway, this is the college thread so I'm the odd man out. Hopefully it's at least an entertaining game for everyone to watch.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By frankw · Posted

      Right and I think we can have a conversation about that. But even with the scheme he should still be able to muster more than 1.5 sacks right? I mean DJ Johnson played in Evero's scheme too but that didn't stop us from calling him a bust. Scourton didn't seem to have trouble flashing. There can be different things true at one time.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I assume you are quoting my still. If so, I don't know what your argument is since mine was simply showing a play where Bryce scored a TD against the Rams in the playoffs where another poster used a similar still of Herbert's line to defend his poor performance last night. Like I said, Herbert is a better QB but Bryce wins the game last night for the Chargers. It simply is something he does better than Herbert and would play to his strengths. Someone even said earlier Chargers only win 1 or 2 games this year if Bryce was their QB which is so absurdly laughable it wasn't even worth trying to address. I mean this thread is literally called "Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panther's History" so I understand there is no objective arguments to be had here but I found that amusing.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I think his knee would make a good reason to switch to guard IF he returns.  Half don't.  Half of those don't last too long.  The strain on a knee (320lb man) vs speed rushers is more substantial.  So I would keep him if I could on a small contract (he will make $17.5 in 2026 fully guaranteed) and think of him as a possible guard for the post Lewis/Hunt era.  Knee injuries in big men are not invitations to invest in them.
