There is a difference between making mistakes and ND forcing turnovers. Gunner didn’t throw bad passes for picks. ND forced the turnovers, ND pressured Gunner and ran him down. ND was insanely fast and aggressive
@@SuperSparrow45Gunner played great! This game was won thru ND dominating Georgia OL. But, Gunner is gonna be a problem for the SEC next year. Go Irish ☘️
@@likecakeyeah I’m pretty sure no one fears Gunner. Is he better than Beck? Sure. But he’s short and film is being created on him. He’s fast but not that fast. The rest of the SEC is catching up to Bama and Georgia.
@@MaymeBlue-tz8qw i’m not sure. Stockton is fast enough to run against SEC teams. We’ll see. Notre Dame’s defense is elite. Defense travels and Defense wins championships. But you better be able to find some offense somewhere when you need it.
Agreed the 2 back to back running into the kicker was absolutely killing. I was yelling at the tv to get that guy out of the game. And Bryce Young lined up offsides. 3 penalties by one guy......not good.
Not sure I agree they had 10. But they should have had 20. Blatant block in the back on the kick return not called. Two roughing the kicker calls that were called running into the kicker. Give me a break. Granted, I am not saying refs cst Georgia the game. Notre Dame deserved to win, but the refs definitely hurt Georgia's chances.
Gunner Stockton is a gamer. I see why he's a 5star talent. He played a good game just under pressure a lot. Great win by my Fighting Irish. Miami here we come. Go Irish 🍀
Stockton was terrible, he was a good high school player. Georgia will lose 5 games next year with Stockton as QB. He doesn’t pass the eye test. Can’t read defenses and Frazier and all running back should hit transfer portal. Georgia offense sucks. Clemson offense is better than UGA. Another mediocre Fromm QB. Sorry Pollack defense can’t keep carrying the team.

Notre Dame under Marcus Freeman is EASILY the best Notre Dame since Lou Holtz. And his team PLAYS alot like Holtz's Notre Dame team did. Big, Physical and run the damn ball. The difference is this ND team has some studs in the Defensive backfield too. Imagine if Benjamin Morrison (who may have been the best corner in the country) was still healthy? Man, Love Marcus Freeman and so proud of this ND squad. Playing their hearts out even with all the injuries.
@@ThreadAndCircuses1the qb wasn’t the problem Stockton did great, it has to do with our wr not being able to catch, bell dropped a huge catch that could’ve left to td and then on top of that a big flag that led to us being pushed back to 30and big offsides penalty when we had a chance to get them off field, gunner stocks was definitely not to blame
Benjamin Morrison WAS the number 1 rated corner in the country, and Rylie Mills was second team all American. If they were full healthy, I’d pick them to win the whole dang thing. Their defense and heck even their head coach - absolute DUDES and will only help getting more 5 star types. ND will likely lose to Ohio State if they beat PSU, but with the playoff format they earned their spot and respect. That coach is going to cause problems for A LOT of people if they keep getting more and more of the athletes they’re getting and I’m sure ND is going to pay him all the money in the world to keep him from leaving
@@dvbagnasco yes for sure- Ryan Clark’s kid too who’s getting the most PT at the moment, but they could be an absolute freight train next yr with all their guys coming back and a Quinn Ewers or someone like that getting a little NIL cash along with more top tier talent at receiver. Basically a team that could make it all the way to the championship with almost all of their guys coming back WITH some improvements on offense, it’s a team that could go in to next year being ranked Number 1, which is wild. Right now they’re playing with house money a little bit. Next yr, expectations and hype is going to be insane
I’m sorry, but this was NOT a game decided by the absence of a starting qb, when the opponent’s defense was missing 4-5 starters. This was NOT a game decided on penalties when your opponent had double the amount of penalties. This was NOT a game decided on ONE play when the opponent won by 13. Notre Dame was simply the better team. Defense wins championships.
@@jimk7882Those turnovers were forced by great defensive play. Those turnovers weren’t a horrible pass or a fumble from bad hands. That was a defensive line & secondary blowing up skill players in the backfield.

The fact that Pollack doesn’t have a job at espn and Desmond Howard does blows my mind. I miss seeing his analysis frequently just subscribed. Great game uga. Glad ND could get one back after the two heartbreakers we lost in the home and home.
I love you guys, but let’s be honest about this game. ND’s defense whupped GA’s ass all night. They made GA’s offensive line look worse than pedestrian. Talk all you like about how GA lost this game, but that’s just terribly disingenuous.
At least half of those 10 penalties were questionable. 2 or 3 were outright incorrect. The play they called illegal motion on Faison on the 4th down that was complete, was absolutely 100% incorrect according to the rules. You do NOT have to reset before the snap you just can't be moving forward. That could have been a major game changer.
Freemand and the entire team have earned their swag. Twelve wins in a row after climbing out of a humbling defeat. They have developed their ability to play as a team, and they take strength in it.

I was yelling at the tv on the first drive like I did all year. Bobo is so bad. Even McElroy was calling the run up the middle when Etienne fumbled. I called it too. So predictable. If Kirby cant get over firing his buddy, our offense is gonna be bad again next year- no matter who's playing QB. So sick of Bobo I cant stand it.
@@robertmcreynolds3747 Georgia isn't good. One of the worst run offenses in the SEC, tons of ints, most dropped balls in the nation. What made you think their offense was any good this year? They were just bad. Can't fault their defense in the game. Held ND to 9 points when they had to drive the field. ND's pass defense and offense is pretty mid to bad. Ohio St is going to blow the doors off ND, if ND makes it that far.
Why can Kirby never get a Jeremiah smith, or a ryan Williams, or a Marvin Harrison, or jameson Williams. Like the last elite receiver that can make any play a touchdown was probably aj green
The Notre Dame defense held Georgia to 60 rushing yards. They held Georgia to 0-3 on 4th downs and 2-12 on 3rd downs. That combined with Jeter going 3-3 on FG's was the difference in the game. What's amazing is that the Notre Dame defense is doing this without key players like Morrison, Botelho, Mills, Traore, and Cross is playing injured. CRAZY!!!! They have too many weapons on offense too. Faison, Greathouse, Evans, Price, Love, Leonard, and Harrison returning kickoffs. Congratulations to Xavier Watts and Rylie Mills for their All American selections (Watts first team all american). GO IRISH!!!
I love Pollack’s show usually, but this wasn’t a national show, it was two UGA fans talking 90% of the time about UGA. This was a UGA show. It should have been 90% ND talk.
I’ve never in my life used an emoji, because I’m a grown azz man, who served in multiple wars & raised a family. Go back to your basement little child.
I doubt it. Georgia fans have hated their offense all year. It was mostly the same problems they've had all year. Can't catch and can't run block. The stats are there to prove this. They've just been bad all year.
I love how Brent is bringing up ND and their bowl game Ls and even inferring to big game Ls says “we were talking” and pollack wants no part of it. YOU were saying! Pollack was a believer for most of the season and Brent was hating. It’s obviously still tough for Brent to swallow. Haha It’ll get better Brent! One day at a time hahahha
Notre Dame defense dominated. 9 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 2 forced fumbles. Georgia defense 1 tackle for loss, 1 sack. Georgia was outplayed and out coached. Imagine how bad it would have been if the game was played in South Bend at 18 degrees.
This dude had the audacity to stare Nick Saban in the face and say that UGA is the standard in college football now. I still get a laugh seeing Saban in his seat at Gameday now.
You mean cuz Georgia had just won 2 straight Natty?. Or was 44-3 over the previous 3 seasons? Uh, that was the new standard bro. Bama hadn't won one since UGA won 2. ESPN got rid of Sam Ponder too because her faith. Saban was the greatest recruiter ever. He quit cuz he couldn't stockpile al the talent anymore or be the dictator. Gameday is unwatchable. David Pollack is a class act and way better human being than Saban will ever be. But you are here watching his show and bashing him. I feel sorry for you.
@@LeeH-c8g cuz? Sounds just like somebody from Polk County Ga. Feel sorry for David, not me. That stupid homer comment got him laid off and fired from Gameday. That's why you see him on here now recording from his basement. Gameday is way more fun to watch with Pat and Saban on there. Saban may be a lot of things, but there is no comparing David to him.
@@daygon128 Exactly right. No comparing a miserable mean old man to a class act like Pollack. All that hate is gonna burn you up one day bud. Feeling even more sorry for you.
Kelly's recruiting hovered around 15th....the YEAR Freeman came as DC it jumped to top 3. Only problem is that one inexplicable loss*every year. Go Irish 🍀
Its usually a sideline warning when the coach or someone is too close to/on the field, but they don't actually interfere with anything.... Usually no one is actually touching a ref when those warnings happen... this dude practically tackled the ref
SEC apologists just refused to acknowledge how flawed this UGA team was compared to years past. Pollack has always been honest-even about his boys. Even when he knows ND has no chance in certain games😮. Gotta respect it. Go Irish!
ND’s kicker has always been “clutch.” He was just injured (groin) and he struggled with that injury for a stretch. He’s healthy now. Jeter is money when healthy.
It’s a great question whether Gunner did anything to not be QB1 from day 1? Gunner didn’t lose the game, but to me, three years in the system won’t matter as much if Kirby makes a change at OC.
Georgia and Kirby Smart miss Todd Monkin. That’s the truth and you are nothing but a good team. No WR’s, RB’s and can’t stop the run or run the ball. 3:21
On the running game…Etienne had 38 yards on 11 carries, Frazier has 37 on 4. Why wasn’t Nate used more? And while those long throws are exciting, where were the short and intermediate routes?
When did Georgia stop putting the Bone stickers on their helmets? That was one of the cooler traditions in college football. I cant imagine OSU stopping with the buckeye leaf stickers. These playoffs have totally ended the conference champions getting top rankings.
As a Bama fan I have watched UGA closely the last 7-8 years. Kirby has fallen into the same trap that Saban fell into. I've gotta get more explosive on offense. I need a "duel threat', I need to open up the offense. WHY?? What you were doing was working. Kept it simple, took the responsibility off the QB and put in it on the O line. You catered the game to your defense. You kept them off the field and rested. When the defense gets tired you get beat in the secondary, you can't get pressure, you can't react fast enough to get turnovers. Yea, you only won 24-10 but you won. Folks say NIL is leveling things up and it is but these great coaches changing their philosophy is just as responsible. Now, instead of going into games and teams like Bama and UGA and you say they will win if they just play sound football because we are bigger and stronger you are playing a team that is now even because of philosophy.
Notre Dame played clean, mistake-free football and took full advantage of Georgia's mistakes and the opportunities they gave them. Good win for them. Kirby must decide whether he wants to keep dying on Bobo Hill.
Pollack wtf you talking about? You aren't sure if homie was lined up in the neutral zone on the 4th down? Come on man, you played ball, you have eyes 😅
Lifetime Irish fan, but love the dawgs. Everything will be alright. I’ll root for the Dawgs if you root for us right here right now. Dawgs will be back better than ever. Wild ass season, let’s finish this. Go Irish! Go Dawgs!
For once QB wasn’t the problem, Both lines & our Wide Receivers were our problem this game and especially the offensive play calling was absolutely trash.
Letting these marginal teams in the playoffs make for watching half game . The last ND PENN STATE Ii ended it snowed and penn state tore their field goal down with a glorious victory
Can’t believe people are still saying ASU didn’t deserve a bye. The only other 2-loss conference champion team that took Texas to OT is Georgia. Did Georgia not deserve a bye? As a conference champion with multiple ranked wins and a blowout in the BigXII championship game they absolutely earned the bye and they deserve to be considered a top 5 team after all is said and done. That was by far the closest semifinal game. Probably people think Georgia takes that spot (maybe!) but it’s ludicrous to act like this ASU team wasn’t one of the best in the country. Should’ve been in the top 10 since the BYU victory but I guess people forgot that BYU had the head-to-head against SMU.
Not getting personal, but the results on the field dictate Searls, Coley, and maybe Bobo get fired this off-season. Also, the absence of Muschamp is very noticeable. Our DBs were awful at playing the ball all year.
You guys want to look ahead and crown Ohio state champions. Fine, I can look ahead too. What happens when Ohio state gets bullied? ND just bullied the bully.
It's ticky tacky, but unless I miscounted, Notre Dame has only 8 consecutive wins over racked teams... but they also have multiple losses to unranked teams in the same time period.
@@donotrobme9295 GEORGIA shouldn't have gotten the bye. Since UGA wasn't the 12th seed, it proves the corruption of the CFP and unreasonable SEC bias. The SEC hasn't been the best in football over the past 2 seasons, and now its 4-team playoff era success has a qualifier.
Ohio State has looked the strongest BUT we don’t hand people the national championship anymore. Ohio State lost to Oregon, lost to Michigan, and almost lost to Nebraska. If they don’t show up, they will lose. We have definitively arrived at the top 4 teams playing their best at the end of the season. If Ohio State doesn’t play like they have been, they will lose. That’s up to them but to crown them national champs right now is very foolish. They have to show up. And we won’t know that until the game is played.

If Kirby cant get over firing his buddy, our offense is gonna be bad again next year- no matter who's playing QB. So sick of Bobo I cant stand it.
Actually Al Golden tuned you up
@@tomas746 Actually even with our crappy O coord UGA outgained Golden ND. Tuned.
@@LeeH-c8gAl Golden is the d coordinator genius. Anyways go hang that on your wall. “Outshined ND while getting our sh*t pushed in”’
KILLING
I loved the heavyweight battle up front.
Non-traditional media is a great thing. Would much rather listen to guys like Pollack than the hacks at ESPN.
This fool said he didn’t know if they were in the neutral zone or not🤦🏾♂️😂😂
Keep doubting NOTRE DAME. WE'RE GOOD !!!
Let's see if you're good enough to beat Ohio State 🫣
@@brucetaylor7871 well we know that UGA isn't.
@@brucetaylor7871we got to beat Penn state first can’t think about OSU yet
@@robertmcreynolds3747 Georgia isn't good. One of the worst run offenses in the SEC, tons of ints, most dropped balls in the nation. What made you think their offense was any good this year? They were just bad. Can't fault their defense in the game. Held ND to 9 points when they had to drive the field.
ND's pass defense and offense is pretty mid to bad. Ohio St is going to blow the doors off ND, if ND makes it that far.
Great show.
Morning Happy Safe New Year 🎉Congratulations 🎈 on your PodCast
The SEC is getting exposed by this new format!
P4 OOC
ACC - 12-19
Big 12 - 7-12
B1G - 14-12
SEC - 20-10
The top SEC teams are getting exposed. The SEC as a conference is still doing work.
Good show!
Why can Kirby never get a Jeremiah smith, or a ryan Williams, or a Marvin Harrison, or jameson Williams. Like the last elite receiver that can make any play a touchdown was probably aj green
Mitch Jeter finally getting healthy making his field goals
The Notre Dame defense held Georgia to 60 rushing yards. They held Georgia to 0-3 on 4th downs and 2-12 on 3rd downs. That combined with Jeter going 3-3 on FG's was the difference in the game. What's amazing is that the Notre Dame defense is doing this without key players like Morrison, Botelho, Mills, Traore, and Cross is playing injured. CRAZY!!!! They have too many weapons on offense too. Faison, Greathouse, Evans, Price, Love, Leonard, and Harrison returning kickoffs. Congratulations to Xavier Watts and Rylie Mills for their All American selections (Watts first team all american). GO IRISH!!!
I love Pollack’s show usually, but this wasn’t a national show, it was two UGA fans talking 90% of the time about UGA. This was a UGA show. It should have been 90% ND talk.
My GM asked me 2 send u this!?
🫵 R A big 👶
I’ve never in my life used an emoji, because I’m a grown azz man, who served in multiple wars & raised a family. Go back to your basement little child.
That time Pollack declared Georgia was the new kings of college football🤣👍👍👍
Go Irish!!!!!!
I Don’t Know If This Point Was Made , But It Is Actually 12 Straight Wins Total. ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ And Yes, Nine Straight Ranked Wins
Georgia believes in ND now.... Great win. Congrats to the whole program! ☘️☘️☘️☘️
I doubt it. Georgia fans have hated their offense all year. It was mostly the same problems they've had all year. Can't catch and can't run block. The stats are there to prove this. They've just been bad all year.
@JustN0pe3 lol
I love how Brent is bringing up ND and their bowl game Ls and even inferring to big game Ls says “we were talking” and pollack wants no part of it. YOU were saying! Pollack was a believer for most of the season and Brent was hating. It’s obviously still tough for Brent to swallow. Haha It’ll get better Brent! One day at a time hahahha
Haha! I was a believer, but you still have to see it. And we definitely did. Irish controlled it and beat UGA at their own game.
@ haha just messing with ya! Great video! ND by a million vs PSU! The injuries (and now short rest) are going to catch up w/ the Irish eventually imo.
Hi David,❤
May the Lord bless you and your family in 2025
The fact all four teams had almost a month off and lost screams they got put on ice. You can't take that long off and not be rusty.
Notre Dame defense dominated. 9 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 2 forced fumbles. Georgia defense 1 tackle for loss, 1 sack. Georgia was outplayed and out coached. Imagine how bad it would have been if the game was played in South Bend at 18 degrees.
Let’s go. This D is special. Ain’t a team in the SEC can see us.
We undefeated in South Bend
@@barneyyoungjr5988 Back when you were still relevant
@@tomas746 If we weren't relevant, y'all wouldn't be on here seeking validation...
@@barneyyoungjr5988buddy we are chilling. Y’all are doing apologetics for being bad at football. Hope this helps.
This dude had the audacity to stare Nick Saban in the face and say that UGA is the standard in college football now. I still get a laugh seeing Saban in his seat at Gameday now.
You mean cuz Georgia had just won 2 straight Natty?. Or was 44-3 over the previous 3 seasons? Uh, that was the new standard bro. Bama hadn't won one since UGA won 2. ESPN got rid of Sam Ponder too because her faith. Saban was the greatest recruiter ever. He quit cuz he couldn't stockpile al the talent anymore or be the dictator. Gameday is unwatchable. David Pollack is a class act and way better human being than Saban will ever be. But you are here watching his show and bashing him. I feel sorry for you.
@@LeeH-c8g cuz? Sounds just like somebody from Polk County Ga. Feel sorry for David, not me. That stupid homer comment got him laid off and fired from Gameday. That's why you see him on here now recording from his basement. Gameday is way more fun to watch with Pat and Saban on there. Saban may be a lot of things, but there is no comparing David to him.
@@daygon128Exactly right- no comparing that miserable old man to a class act like Pollack. Keep on hating bud. You will drown it one day.
@@daygon128 Exactly right. No comparing a miserable mean old man to a class act like Pollack. All that hate is gonna burn you up one day bud. Feeling even more sorry for you.
Kelly's recruiting hovered around 15th....the YEAR Freeman came as DC it jumped to top 3. Only problem is that one inexplicable loss*every year. Go Irish 🍀
If it happens let it happen early.
If Kelly was the coach last night we get smoked no doubt about it
Goooooo Irish!!!!
Geo. freaked out on the punt play because Freeman is so aggressive.
Ohio State looks unstoppable right now.
If we play them in the natty, we’ll beat them. Go Irish!
@@bencarter8423no you won’t lol
Everyone said the same about georgia
@@kych2008our style is different good luck. This is chess
@@Jay-pd9kc it’s football ain’t nothing different
There is no excuse for a good team to lose to a better team tonight, that QB for the Dogs will be great next season, great win for the Irish
Its usually a sideline warning when the coach or someone is too close to/on the field, but they don't actually interfere with anything.... Usually no one is actually touching a ref when those warnings happen... this dude practically tackled the ref
And they need receivers that can catch the ball. A real legit playmaker!
SEC apologists just refused to acknowledge how flawed this UGA team was compared to years past. Pollack has always been honest-even about his boys. Even when he knows ND has no chance in certain games😮. Gotta respect it. Go Irish!
ND’s kicker has always been “clutch.” He was just injured (groin) and he struggled with that injury for a stretch. He’s healthy now. Jeter is money when healthy.
Kirby said in the presser that the SEC doesn't allow the mass substitution. Didn't really matter since we jumped offside
Go DAWGS! Thanks for a fun season! Looking forward to next year already! ❤️🖤
UGA is my favorite SEC team and all class fans... great program
Pollack at 10:50 is spot on!
Gunner definitely wasn’t the problem.
Can't hand over 14 points on a platter to a good team and win smh
It’s a great question whether Gunner did anything to not be QB1 from day 1? Gunner didn’t lose the game, but to me, three years in the system won’t matter as much if Kirby makes a change at OC.
Georgia and Kirby Smart miss Todd Monkin. That’s the truth and you are nothing but a good team. No WR’s, RB’s and can’t stop the run or run the ball. 3:21
Think they might miss Bowers and McConkey more
@Jdawg4955
Bobo would've turned Ladd and Bowers into 6th round picks.
I highly doubt that! But all are entitled to their opinions. Go Dawgs!
@@Jdawg4955
He did it to Beck. Beck is no longer a first round pick in the span of less than a year. May not go until 4th.
Ga might have been surprised at nd ability at line of scrimmage both sides
First time QB starter vs an awesome defense like ND, never works out!!!!
On the running game…Etienne had 38 yards on 11 carries, Frazier has 37 on 4. Why wasn’t Nate used more? And while those long throws are exciting, where were the short and intermediate routes?
Gunner played good…it was the receivers dropping balls
And the left tackle shitting the bed several times
I definately think gunner stockton is your guy moving forward, I think he played a really good game just being thrown into the game
I agree Stockton is gonna be good
Gooooo Irish!!!
Can we finally stop calling UGA a dynasty with those 2 rings! SOMEBODY LIED!
If you listen to Shane Gillis, the Irish are the real dawgs ☘️🐶
UGA is still a strong bully team.. they just met a bigger bully.. these teams always play play pretty close games
Gunner is a stud... Riley may not have made bad decisions and he has better wheels, but Gunner Stockton showed up... he was the better QB
last night
When did Georgia stop putting the Bone stickers on their helmets? That was one of the cooler traditions in college football. I cant imagine OSU stopping with the buckeye leaf stickers. These playoffs have totally ended the conference champions getting top rankings.
Those are marijuana leaf stickers on Ohio's helmets. lol
Kirby smart stopped that as soon as he became head coach about ten years ago
Having a bye is dangerous in other sports like tennis. It gives your upcoming opponent the opportunity to get tuned up and game-ready.
As a Bama fan I have watched UGA closely the last 7-8 years. Kirby has fallen into the same trap that Saban fell into. I've gotta get more explosive on offense. I need a "duel threat', I need to open up the offense. WHY?? What you were doing was working. Kept it simple, took the responsibility off the QB and put in it on the O line. You catered the game to your defense. You kept them off the field and rested. When the defense gets tired you get beat in the secondary, you can't get pressure, you can't react fast enough to get turnovers. Yea, you only won 24-10 but you won.
Folks say NIL is leveling things up and it is but these great coaches changing their philosophy is just as responsible. Now, instead of going into games and teams like Bama and UGA and you say they will win if they just play sound football because we are bigger and stronger you are playing a team that is now even because of philosophy.
Notre Dame played clean, mistake-free football and took full advantage of Georgia's mistakes and the opportunities they gave them. Good win for them. Kirby must decide whether he wants to keep dying on Bobo Hill.
Pollack wtf you talking about? You aren't sure if homie was lined up in the neutral zone on the 4th down? Come on man, you played ball, you have eyes 😅
I didn't think he was off sides thought should have at least been reviewed great play and coaching by Freeman though
We are in crazy times
Lifetime Irish fan, but love the dawgs. Everything will be alright. I’ll root for the Dawgs if you root for us right here right now. Dawgs will be back better than ever. Wild ass season, let’s finish this. Go Irish! Go Dawgs!
Georgia had 141 yds rushing in the SEC championship texas had 31 so Georgia has been able to run the ball in certain games
Goooooo Irish!!!!
#FireBobo
The SEC hasn’t been above everybody else for a couple years now. Probably never be that way again with 12 playoff teams, nil, and the portal.
Im not a Georgia fan but I didn't think the guy was in the neutral zone on that punt play.
LOL ND's kicker is an SC transfer who is arguably the best field goal kicker in the country - he was hurt...
For once QB wasn’t the problem, Both lines & our Wide Receivers were our problem this game and especially the offensive play calling was absolutely trash.
Letting these marginal teams in the playoffs make for watching half game .
The last ND PENN STATE Ii ended it snowed and penn state tore their field goal down with a glorious victory
The roughing the kicker was not warranted on the fisrt punt. He spun off trying to avoid him before contact.
Can’t believe people are still saying ASU didn’t deserve a bye. The only other 2-loss conference champion team that took Texas to OT is Georgia. Did Georgia not deserve a bye?
As a conference champion with multiple ranked wins and a blowout in the BigXII championship game they absolutely earned the bye and they deserve to be considered a top 5 team after all is said and done. That was by far the closest semifinal game. Probably people think Georgia takes that spot (maybe!) but it’s ludicrous to act like this ASU team wasn’t one of the best in the country. Should’ve been in the top 10 since the BYU victory but I guess people forgot that BYU had the head-to-head against SMU.
Georgia needs to practice catching the ball. Lord that is embarrassing
They still scored on that drive
Not getting personal, but the results on the field dictate Searls, Coley, and maybe Bobo get fired this off-season. Also, the absence of Muschamp is very noticeable. Our DBs were awful at playing the ball all year.
Definitely in the neutral zone
I think they had 2 players jump 1 definitely the other looked to me like he jumped too
You guys want to look ahead and crown Ohio state champions. Fine, I can look ahead too. What happens when Ohio state gets bullied? ND just bullied the bully.
If you add Clemson's loss to Texas, all 5 conference winners in the 12-team bracket were eliminated in their first game.
It's ticky tacky, but unless I miscounted, Notre Dame has only 8 consecutive wins over racked teams... but they also have multiple losses to unranked teams in the same time period.
Per the precedent set last season. GEORGIA should have been seeded as low as possible under the CFP rules.
They won the SEC. Auto bye and top 4 seed per rule.
@@dmar191Should have put Clemson over them
@@dmar191 CLEMSON won the ACC and got an auto. GEORGIA should have ranked below and gotten that 12th seed per FSU's snub last season.
So if Georgia was the one seed and notre dame the 12 seed, same result. Who cares
@@donotrobme9295 GEORGIA shouldn't have gotten the bye. Since UGA wasn't the 12th seed, it proves the corruption of the CFP and unreasonable SEC bias.
The SEC hasn't been the best in football over the past 2 seasons, and now its 4-team playoff era success has a qualifier.
Ohio State has looked the strongest BUT we don’t hand people the national championship anymore. Ohio State lost to Oregon, lost to Michigan, and almost lost to Nebraska. If they don’t show up, they will lose. We have definitively arrived at the top 4 teams playing their best at the end of the season. If Ohio State doesn’t play like they have been, they will lose. That’s up to them but to crown them national champs right now is very foolish. They have to show up. And we won’t know that until the game is played.
Yeah, however OSU looks really good. They picked a good time to get hot.
lol that’s for everyone dork lol 😂
UGA got out coached and out played. Pure and simple.
That kicker was holding his leg up for 2 seconds after the ball left his foot.
That was planned
