We would easily be 10-2. I dont think Clemson could have stopped Fitz though so it might have been close.
It?s not the destination that irritates me as much as the matchup. We needed a somewhat offensively challenged team to compete with our team that has lost its whole staff almost and our qb.
Michigan fits that bill.
Instead we get a high octane offense that is a terrible matchup for us on paper in our current state.
I think the SEC has us taking one for the conference as they probably figured we were going to lose to anybody that played well and I think USC might get beat by Louisville as well so here we are
10-2. UGA and Clemson L's.
Yeah, Lamar is gonna score about 18 TDs on us. Just accept it now and focus on next year.Quote:

Swap Georgia and Clemson with any other East team and BYU and they're probably in the playoffs.
LSU cost Auburn. Not Clemson. Beat LSU- they're in.Quote:

State had over 500 yards of offense and 27 1st downs in the OLe MIss game.Quote:

Could you imagine if a Kentucky or mizzou had beaten a playoff contender by 31 points because that’s what Iowa did. Playing good non-conference games didn’t hurt auburn and Ohio st until they lost other games that compounded it, and winning a big non-conference game clearly gives you a nice boost (clempson still sits at #1 with easily the worst loss of any of the CFP teams @ 4-8 Syracuse partly because they played and beat auburn out of conference, and as pointed out above Ohio st playing and beating Oklahoma last year is probably the main reason they got in over Penn St).
so if you play a shit schedule, you either have to go undefeated (see Wisconsin) to get in or you’ll need a lot of help from
Other teams losing, but if you play a tough schedule, you usually get a mulligan so long as you’ve played and beaten some high quality teams. It’s that once you get past your mulligan that the strength of schedule diminishes in importance.
USC goes 5-7 with our schedule. They don't beat TXAM on the road nor U.K. At home. They probably split the Arkansas and la tech games since on the road vs at home. Latech was jacked to host an sec team in MSU. I really don't see them beating anyone in the west especially Arkansas on the road.Quote:
