Game Thread: Rose Bowl #3 Georgia vs #2Oklahoma, 5PM EST, ESPN

[Chewbaccer]

This has been the longest month of my life waiting for this day. Despite all the trash talk, I expect this to be a nailbiter down to the end.

But I've got the Dawgs coming out on top 42-38

I just think the stage is too big for Georgia not having been there yet plus a true freshman qb vs Baker Mayfield. OU survives and advances.

LOL @ the thought of using the term true freshman to knock a QB after 13 games, especially one who has never shown any signs of cracking under pressure.

We might lose, but it won't be because the moment is too big for Jake Fromm. I can assure you of that.

Congrats to you for making the CFP. However, The Rose Bowl is for the PAC-12 and the B1G to play. This game just doesn't seem right.

What do you call that abomination that was the Cotton Bowl?

Maybe the B1G and the Pac should have teams that make the playoffs on years the Rose Bowl is part of the playoffs?

Can Georgia score that many points on OU and still play defense?

We've been scoring that many pretty much all year while playing defense.

I agree if this becomes a 40+ point shootout OU rolls.

I hear ya. This is one of those years when because of the calendar, the CFP semis are played on New Years Day, the Rose Bowl is hosting one of the games and the B1G and PAC-12 didn't make the cut. A perfect storm. I'm old. I don't like shit changing every year.

How can it be a shootout and one team rolls at the same time? I think out rolling as a blowout, maybe we have different definitions.

This has been the longest month of my life waiting for this day.

The month is less than 11 hours old. Pace Yourself.

UGA needs to put pressure on Mayfield so he's running around and dehydrated by the intermission.
