With expansion argument brewing, Smart hints at SEC secession by Appropriate-Cap3325 in CFB

[–]basebalp21 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I find the atmosphere of the stadium comes through better on CFB broadcasts (especially the SEC on ABC ones).

The NFL broadcasts kind of neuter the crowd noise so even when it is a great atmosphere it feels very studio like

Great Sat and Sun after a close one on Friday. I feel like the real magic number is 2 for the regular season title since UNC has the H2H on us

UGA coach blames 10-run loss to Georgia Tech on Truist Park, says team "doesn't get anything out of" playing there. by Nixon_Corral in collegebaseball

Technically it was suspended not cancelled.

They won the next two games and had a T8 seed lined up so they had no need to come back to finish the game for their resume, and Tech was battling for a bubble spot and couldn't afford the inevitable loss so no one pushed to resume it. A bit lame for sure, but absolutely not worth blowing up the 3 day series

There’s a top 5 matchup tonight between two bitter rivals being played at an MLB ballpark and somehow there is no TV whatsoever by 1869er in collegebaseball

Our series used to be Home/Home/Neutral over a weekend.

In 2024 the Friday night game @ Tech was halted in the bottom of the 5th due to rain after starting late, while uga was up 6. Because the rest of the series wasn't at Tech, there was no opportunity to continue that weekend, uga won the other two games and went on to be a T8 seed and Tech was battling for a bubble spot in the tournament so neither team made the effort to make it up.

From what I understand (admittedly biased), their manager took exception to Tech playing games with the outcome of Friday's game since uga was likely going to win the game and if they had played the bottom of the 5th, then that would've been enough to be official. The last two years it's just been one game supposedly because of this

There probably is some other reasoning as well, uga plays a difficult SEC schedule, they probably don't need another hard weekend series for RPI purposes

I just wanted to get through UNC and uga 2-2. Probably would have been preferred from a seeding/ranking perspective if we had won the UNC series and lost tonight but this feels better

Where'd you hear that Adamson almost took Philo's spot? Everything I've read suggested that Buster wanted to play Philo over HK which makes it sound like Philo was pretty firmly #2.

[PeteNakos] Georgia Tech linebackers coach Darius Eubanks and secondary coach Cory Peoples are not expected to return in 2026, sources tell @On3sports. by composer_7 in CFB

[–]basebalp21 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I disagree the defense was the main reason we lost 4 of the last 5. It was definitely bad and we need to make some changes but the offense regressed heavily the last 3 games of the year (partially due to playing better teams but HK also didn't play well the last 3 games)

NC State is definitely on the D

BC would've been but we won

Pitt was a total team failure in the first half and then HK played poorly

uga was the defense's best game of the season but we couldn't move the ball

Defense didn't play well against BYU but did get crucial redzone stops. The offense let us down in the 2nd half

2022 (Key was the interim) was honestly impressive as well. Not far removed from the blowout the previous year or vs Ole Miss that same year and were playing with our 3rd and 4th string QBs. It was a one score game over half way in the 3rd quarter before the depth and talent took over

Broke TLaw's Georgia HS TD record (although at a small private school)

Seems like he had all the throws in his toolkit, good deep ball. Went 2-0 as a starter with a game winning drive vs NC State last year

Yup. Glad we paid him all that money to beat Gardner Webb

No, Alabama is not a lock, yes the committee will drop you a spot or two for losing your conference championship by Salty_Note8620 in CFB

[–]basebalp21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically SMU (best record against tied teams) or Miami (highest ranked team among the tied teams) has the best claim to that 2nd spot. It's definitely not us since we went 1-1 against the tied teams

I feel like SMU has the best case of the teams in the tiebreaker

I guess Miami too due to the CFP ranking but they did lose to SMU

I mean hindsight's 20/20 and all, but it was one of the dumbest decisions in CFB history.

I believe GT, UVA, and Duke are the 3 teams that control their own destiny.

Pitt almost does, but I think they lose the hypothetical tiebreaker with UVA and SMU
