NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

I'd still say it's a gift things fell like they did to put Cinci at 4....though I'm open to a better word choice if you have one.

Maybe say that they were fortunate their opponent was Cincinnati?

I think that is a less negative way of saying the same thing.

I hear ya but being honest, Saban blows out everybody in that semifinal spot. Your guys are the only team to beat them in that spot with Zeke Elliott. They blow out everybody when Saban has time to prepare. Happened to Sparty, OU, ND, Washington…

Another argument for the playoff expansion!

Too much time between games.

Yep prep time is ridiculous for great coaches like Saban. Should really be 1 week. 2 weeks at most. Only say 2 weeks due to heisman but that can be pushed back until the end of season imo

Absolutely agree. I would prefer an 8 team playoff.

And if they go with 1st round at home of top seed, how fun will that be to watch?

Prep time I'm sure matters....but guessing it's the idea he usually has far better players that helps Saban more in these games.

Yep. They recruit and develop better than just about anyone else. I can’t wait until this son of a bitch wants to finally spend some time with his grand kids haha.

Going to take a few years to see how the new NIL stuff really affects things. Some think it will widen the gap, but I happen to think it won’t because now some will be able to do what they were unwilling to do before when it was illegal.

Agree with this. It’s hard to project but I’m seeing the logic in what you’re saying.

If I was a fan of any team but my own (or Clemson until this season) I'd feel the exact same way. Guy looks like he doesn't age, too.

We are witnessing greatness. He’s clearly the best college football coach of his generation and maybe all time. Much respect for what he’s done.

He getting destroyed. Rightfully so

Just a matter of time until some NIL deals are tied to playing in bowl games I would think

SEC continues to fuck up the big lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Georgia had nothing to play for.. .if we are being honest

Yeah, why would they want to be SEC champs?

Better players with amazing coaching.

Every time they panned they Alabama sideline you see a different former NFL head coach as 1 of Saban’s assistants.

You might sneak up on them if they have a week to prep.

But a month?

Forget about it.

That is taking it a bit too far….

But Alabama definitely had more on the line in that game.
