Man, there aren't really any great teams. We can beat anybody. The game you saw UGA play today is the same game they play against everyone from Bama to the midest SEC team you can picture. All over the country it's a lot of close games and inconsistency. It's all part of the ride, I just enjoy it.
Yeah, imagine saying your playoff bound NFL team couldn’t win the Super Bowl because of a few close wins. CFB isn’t quite at that level of parity, but NIL and transfer rules has made it a lot closer to any given Saturday than it used to be.

These being consecutive messages is humorous.
Yeah I didn’t see that or even know it. Oops. When it counted in OT they imposed their will on Miami and made it look they did it all game. Yes I felt stupid after I read that one

I watched the Chiefs (unfortunately) build a dynasty out of looking like shit every week and squeaking out wins.

Will Compton seems like a genuinely great dude. However, his suffering is fantastic content.
Fun fact: If Charlie Weis didn't wait until a few weeks before NSD to offer him, he would've committed to ND on the spot.

Oh yeah, any given Saturday I think we could beat anybody. I just wouldnt take us against the field this year.
I don’t think ND will ever field a team I’d take against the field. Just hard limits to who we can bring in that makes that really hard. But i think Freeman can consistently field teams that are good enough to make the playoffs and put a run together, and you field teams like that often enough then sooner or later odds will break in your favor.

Georgia Tech falls to NC State. Big win for us. Tech's resume is pretty ass and them losing to a team that ND beat by 29 is definitely a big one.

OU clinging to a 9 point lead and Tennessee had a massive drop on 4th and 1.

OU winning would be fairly significant, as they have a lot more likely losses down the stretch with Bama, Missouri and LSU remaining, whereas Tennessee has New Mexico State, Florida and Vandy.

Yeah, obviously Georgia and Virginia are annoying what-ifs but (assuming OU holds) this was a fantastic day for our odds.
Also Louisville. VT's defense imploded in the 2nd half after being up 16-7 at halftime.

Well, Cincy's kicker just whiffed a manageable kick badly.

That makes me feel a little bit better about today....just a little bit.

UT getting that pick was like Rocky throwing that hellacious right hook, giving Drago a nasty cut.

Venabkes is a stupid ass for calling that play if he loses he will get strung up.

Wow, if OU loses this game after having a 9 point lead and the ball with 4 1/2 minutes left....jesus.

Tenn has been pulling these one score comebacks like they were GT!
