U of W first in. Who all you guys rooting for today? Bama fans here? Michigan looks legit. I haven’t watched any Georgia games this year but hoping for good...

Par4QC You may be right, but I liken that to the oblivious guy who says “she cheated on her last boyfriends but won’t cheat on me.” It’s not like these guys are broke and awaiting a big payday. I think it was Caleb Williams who said he makes more off of his NIL than he will make off his entry level NFL contract.

Par4QC Lovie took them there to the '07 SB.

That was the year the Colts beat them? That Chicago team may be the worst team to ever make a Super Bowl.

garyt1957 🤣👍

I was watching. That whole season.

They were 15-3 until the Super Bowl, so they couldn’t have been that bad. The defense was great. Rex Grossman was a turnover machine though. I recall that the game was competitive through 3 quarters. The Colts offensive line was unbelievable. Manning got the MVP but the line deserved it.

Typhoon Wondering what you guys think of these QB’s etc… who are going to go high in the draft opting out of playing a bowl game?

I don't blame them. College football is a business now. The teams don't care about the players and the players don't owe the teams anything. Every man for himself. The rah, rah, days of playing for good ole "Name it" U are long gone and aren't coming back.

The next logical statement is that rivalries really don't mean much anymore. It's just the business end that counts....

Stu1961 Looks like Georgia will finish either #2 or #3 after the final polls. FSU

I don't know. The win over FSU is meaningless. FSU had 16 players opt out. I believe they were down to their 3rd string QB. I would expect the team that loses the national championship game will finish 2nd if it's a close game. One of the other playoff teams is likely 3rd, not that it matters.

Yeah, it was such a let down after a great season and getting porked by the NCAA to have that game. It went from being a game I wanted to watch to a game I couldn’t have cared less about.

I've seen this all over and it's not remotely correct. Between salary and endorsements Purdy is worth between 5 and 6 mil.

rsvman2 I think they should have just forfeited if they weren't going to take their actual team and play the game.

They're not giving up $10 million

garyt1957

johnnydoom They aren’t, but they would. The top 4 teams are very lucky Georgia isn’t in the mix.

Agree, but they're not in the mix so it's unlikely they'll jump more than one team that is, barring some blow outs

garyt1957

Taki27 I understand that the player doesn't want to take a chance they could get hurt, but if you are a scout, doesn’t a player bailing on their team count for something in your evaluation?

Not likely. They understand it's a business decision.

You might not like it but the truth is the truth.

Stu1961 They will finish 5th.
Read the tea leaves again.

You are not going to bump out any top 4 team by beating Roosevelt Jr. High on a Sat. night!! Damn the score or stats!!

edit: may not even get 5th!! 😲

DonM yea I must be thinking of someone else. I thought they were 9-7
My bad

For those of you who are always bitchin' about announcers,
on ESPNNEWS/Skycast you can watch the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl
with NO announcers!
Just the stadium PA and the drone/Skycast camera of the game....kind of weird!
