Mates,

Last bowl game except for the CFP's, Georgia v. Texas in the Sugar Bowl.  Georgia is a 13 1/2 pt favorite.

Who is your pick, with or without the points, and who do you want to win?  

Happy New Year,

There is only one CFB game left.  After watching all of these bowl / CFP games with all of the top teams, I see nothing that tells me we are on the right track without making significant changes.

Nothing.

What I do see is a number of teams that have become resurgent because they did change and adapt.

Seems sort of like when Utah played and beat Alabama under Saban - many years back. Texas came ready to play and Georgia despite the talk don't seem to be into the game.

Georgia and Washington shoulda ran more zone!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, wait, whoops, they did and it didn't work. 

That Sugar Bowl was one of the more enjoyable of the bigtime bowl games this year. I think it also goes to show that there's a lot of variance in college football, and good programs with talented players lead by good coaches can still lose.

UGA just finished a three loss season, including stinging losses to Alabama and to a team they were favored against by two touchdowns. And yet, they're still a team on the rise that had a good season, regardless of the gnashing of teeth that might be going on in Georgia right now. The perspective helps me a little. 

Happy New Year, y'all!

Texas was very emotionally invested in this game. Georgia thought they just had to show up and collect their trophy. Texas needs a few recruiting classes to really be elites their depth is not there. We play Texas in 4 years
