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.

      Well sure, but if you're in NC, you would get them through a basic cable package.  And if you're not in the local area, then the cost would be fair because it's comparable to needing to go to a bar to watch every week. I'll also put it this way... Of all the subscriptions I have to pay for these days (and it's way too many), it's really one of only two that I feel are a fair price that I don't mind paying, the rest are all way too high. Side note... the other is for AMC's A-List, by far the best deal in entertainment (at least if you love the movie theater experience like myself).  $20 a month and can see up to 4 movies a week, 2 movies a month and you're making money on it compared to buying them individually.  I passed my break even point for the year in June, so will get 6+ months of "free" movies through the end of the year.

      The NFL averages 2.2 million viewers per PRESEASON game, the HOF game had 6.9 million viewers. The NBA Finals averaged 10.3 million viewers for the Finals and 4.5 million across the playoffs overall. They aren't even comparable, the NFL makes twice as much money a year as the NBA does, of course the TV packages are going to be very different.  Also, tons of fans will watch as many NFL games as possible (mainly because of Fantasy), but not a whole lot of them are going to be watching random NBA games every single night, at least not in comparison to with the NFL.
