Peach: Pitt/Wake-MSU Ole Miss
I no longer think it is possible for us to end up in the Peach. Either Cinci is in the playoff, or they lose and we are in and Houston goes to the Fiesta.
Now for chaos:
Georgia, Iowa, Baylor, Oregon, Houston all win.
Georgia, ND, Baylor...then who? Oregon? Alabama? Iowa? What if Utah wins?
My have times have changed. We went from competing and winning National Championships to being happy and content with winning the Fiesta Bowl and finishing in 3rd place. Now I see what they're talking about when they speak of the blind sheep fan base.
10%+ of the starting lineups are likely to sit out. And you can’t gauge anything from them because the other team may be treating it like the meaningless game that it is, see Georgia vs Cincinnati last year.
Credit to the coaches and team for going 11-1. It’s not easy. But, losing the one game we had to have and doing it because our offensive coaches didn’t make a qb change quick enough and our defensive coaches stubbornly tried to make the 3 man front work leaves me with the same frustration we’ve had for far too long
