Damn

Has anyone seen the O/U?

 

[podsox]

Bama/Sooners over 79.5. Clemson/nd 55.5

Bama/Sooners over 79.5. Clemson/nd 55.5

So they are basically saying Alabama 47 to 33. Gonna be a wild game if they are close.

 

[BoomerNTX]

Last time we played Bama, they were favored by 15. Relevant? Probably not as it was two completely different teams.

texASS scored 48 the 1st time around. I think Bama can match that

...and they didn't want to be there that time. They will want to be there this time.

I'm OK with Oklahoma getting in; however doubt anyone in the country thinks Oklahoma would match up well with Georgia. So what's the criteria; best teams or conference champions?

A combination of both. Georgia would probably be favored over Oklahoma and Notre Dame, but at the same time, there's no real way to justify us getting in over them. To be the best, you've gotta beat the best, and we didn't, better luck next year, and lets roll Texas in the Sugar Bowl.

So do the punters travel with the team? Ours kicks off and FG, so he's traveling

Beat Texas by 50 please

So what's the criteria; best teams or conference champions?

1) conference champion
2) strength of record
3) head to head
4) comparison of results in common opponents

1) UGA didn't meet the first criteria. Of course, neither did Bama last year.
2) UGA had a better SOR than OU
3) No head to head
4) No common opponent

At this point, nobody expects us to win. I’m just going to be happy for the publicity and be pleasantly surprised if we pull a rabbit out of a hat.

Nobody gave OU a chance against them in the Sugar Bowl either.
