I don’t think it’s fully understood outside of the Tuscaloosa/University of Alabama community how much Saban and his wife do when it comes to charitable efforts. After the April 27, 2011 tornado happened, they built 13 homes to equal the amount of championships we’d won up to that point. Ever since then, whenever Alabama wins a championship, a new house is built. That being said, I can understand why certain fan bases don’t like him; I just don’t happen to agree. I cannot wait to see the gift that Saban gives Tank Bigsby for Christmas. 4 hours ago, Bastet said: I'm used to putting up with Oklahoma coaches I don't like personally since I'm just a peripheral fan due to family ties, but to have one of these dudes at USC?

Peace 47 December 2, 2021 Share December 2, 2021 I haven’t been a particular fan of Brian Kelly ever since that Notre Dame student was killed in that hydraulic lift accident on a windy day while filming the football team practicing (although I know it was a confluence of bad decisions, not just Kelly’s, that led to the accident). My father also told me that Kelly had been reprimanded in the past for abusive talk to players, but I don’t know if that is accurate. I get that Kelly had to leave when he did for recruiting purposes, but it just sits badly to leave the existing team when, if they were holding onto any slim chance to be selected for the playoffs, it probably just went up in smoke with his decision. I saw that his covertly recorded address to the Notre Dame team is making the rounds on Twitter, and I get why people are roasting him for that. It was so perfunctory and without really any personal touches at all about their season(s) together, life lessons about taking on new opportunities, respect for the institution, etc. Maybe the school wanted him in and out of there quickly since he doesn’t work there anymore, but it just seemed like he was done with the lot of them and using the “best for my family” shield to avoid addressing anything real. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12545-college-football/page/50/#findComment-7151688

If the Bulldogs were to fall to 5th place, IMO, it would be due to losing 73-0 or something like that, coupled with Michigan, Cincinnati, and Oklahoma State shutting out their combination with the same or similar margin. I doubt the Bulldogs would fall out since the committee would view their performance as not needing to give it their all (especially since it's against Alabama). BTW, the Tide only has a 98% chance to reach the playoff with a win, which was a bit surprising.

Anyway, it seems obvious to me that the committee will choose Alabama, Michigan, Georgia, and Cincinnati (even though it will kiiiiiillllllllllll them to have to include that last team) and probably order them that way (even though I'd argue that the top two should be Michigan and Cincinnati since I don't the think the SEC is as strong this year as usual). The only other order I could foresee is Michigan, Alabama, Cincinnati, and Georgia. They'll be angling for an Alabama/Georgia rematch in the final (which I would give just about anything to prevent), so they'll go with one of those two orders since there's no way they won't have an SEC team as #1 or #2.

I'm stunned that Georgia's offense wasn't better than that, but maybe they haven't faced a tough defensive line this season. I haven't watched their games, but as I stated earlier, I really thought they were firing on all cylinders (before last night) and that they were going to run all over us given the pre-game hype! I expected that Saban would have a really good game plan, but it's up to the players to execute it. Aside from a few mistakes, they looked more cohesive in this game. Again, not to make excuses, but I think the injuries to some of Bama's key players really affected them in some of those games, and our guys made some "mental errors" along the way, and that never helps. After watching last night's game, I'm thinking that the players who stepped in for the injured ones got their shit together and the team seemed to gel better than what we've seen. I say this for any team that has to fill slots due to injuries. It's tough to replace certain guys, and it takes time and practice to get them up to speed. I don't want to see a rematch either, just like I didn't want a rematch of us and LSU years ago, but we'll see where the chips fall and go from there. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12545-college-football/page/50/#findComment-7155899
Carey December 5, 2021 Share December 5, 2021 (edited) Well, ESPN is revealing them in reverse. There is no drama this year, but history is now official. Actually, the drama is Bama vs UM for the top spot Playoff seeds (Alabama vs. Cincinnati & Michigan vs Georgia). Notre Dame & Ohio State finished 5th and 6th, respectively. Probably became all but official the second Cincy was revealed as 4th Edited December 5, 2021 by Carey Playoff Matchups 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12545-college-football/page/50/#findComment-7156067
Carey December 5, 2021 Share December 5, 2021 On Sunday, December 5th, 2021 at 12:27 PM EST, the eighth College Football Playoff has been set. Alabama, back to a familiar spot, will “host” Cincinnati in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Eve, while Michigan will “host” Georgia in the Orange Bowl on the same date. No kickoff times yet, but I guess the Orange Bowl precede the Cotton Bowl 3 weeks from Friday as of this post. Alabama regains its outright record in terms of CFB Playoff appearances (after Clemson tied them in 2019). Georgia, the second ever SEC team to participate in the playoff, is making their second appearance. Michigan & Cincinnati are the 12th and 13th different team participating in the College Football Playoff since its inception in 2014. Michigan is the third Big 10 team participating, while Cincinnati is the first Group of Five team as mentioned several times everywhere. As a result of that, College Football has its sixth different conference representation. Naturally, Cincinnati was a part of a Big 6 conference when the Big East was a big deal prior to early in the last decade when the Big East split to the ACC, the AAC, and the New College Hoops Big East. As for the other four New Years Six bowl games, including the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl, those are slated to be announced around 2:30 PT EST. I’m guessing the Rose Bowl is all but set with Utah vs Ohio State. Pittsburgh likely Peach Bowl Bound since the Orange Bowl is a semi final this year. Ole Miss should or could be Sugar Bowl Bound, and maybe Baylor to the Fiesta Bowl. Everything else will be disclosed by the end of the weekend. That includes the rest of the rankings and the complete 42 or so bowl games. Finally, Bryce Young's win next Saturday the Heisman announcement for the 2021 winner will occur on Saturday, December 11th, 2021. That is 30 days before the National Championship on Monday January 11, 2022 on ESPN 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12545-college-football/page/50/#findComment-7156089
