Auburn wins out, and they're most likely in, no matter what LSU does....
Auburn would need to win out, and have either of these scenarios:
1) LSU loses two SEC games .... not impossible as they still have Bama AND Georgia ....Auburn would then paly in the SEC Championship.......OR
2) LSU wins the SEC West (with 1 or less losses), Auburn wins out and watches the SEC championship AND Notre Dame, the Big 12, and Pac 10 champ all have 2 or more losses....

Coming from a die-hard Auburn fan...we aren't winning out. Our offense is putrid, and the defense is porous. We aren't near as good as outsiders think. Plus, we still have Malzahn roaming the sidelines. That guarantees at least 4 losses. That's what he does.

We will see of UK is real as the season moves on. I was at the FL UK game and I couldn't event tell you want team UK was playing. Florida had no energy at all on both sides of the ball. Honestly the players looked like they were being forced to play and did not want to be there from the first snap. Last night Florida was looking better, but sill has a long way to go.
Anyone can look better playing UT. The reason I say UK is for real is not just because they beat Miss State, it’s how it was done. 28-7? Plus, they did it right after beating UF.

UGA was pretty even with Bama last season. Past that, we are still weak. It was represented stronger than the two prior seasons the Gators played in Atlanta.
Well yeah they were pretty even because both played in the Big One, then halftime came. Beyond UGA though? Rough.

I know I'm late, but a good game last week against Ga Tech. It feels good to open up conference play with a win, especially on the road. Offense started to fire on all cylinders. Very good game for the OL. (hope they keep it up) Good mixture of the run and pass game. Defensively, we shut down Ga Tech's triple option for the 4th year in a row. Also want to point out that 14 of the 21 points they scored was against our 2nd/3rd team defense. The only thing that I can complain about is the fact that Ga Tech fumbled like 10+ times and we were only able to recover the ball once. Other than that, very pleased with the way we played.


In terms of Kelly Bryant transferring, that is his decision, though I don't think it's a smart/mature move and it goes against his character. I think Kelly took it as not starting = not playing, which isn't true. He was still going to play tomorrow. We were going to continue the QB rotation, and we have special packages that are specifically designed for Kelly. If something were to happen to Trevor, (hope he stays healthy, knock on wood) it would be Kelly's game. Don't get me wrong, Chase Brice isn't a bad QB, he just doesn't have any playing experience at the college level. I wish Kelly all the best, but I'm very disappointed in him.


Anyways, excited to be back in the Valley tomorrow! (still not happy about another noon kickoff :mad:) Should be a good game. Syracuse has a pretty good team right now, and we'll be out for revenge. We just need to focus on taking care of business, and hopefully we'll get the win.

Chase Brice won the Georgia State Championship while at Grayson (same school as Wayne Gallman). Chase is also the nephew of coach Mickey Conn....

Anywho, bummer for you peeps Kelly Bryant is leaving, as he was a tougher match-up for Bama .....

Maybe. It’s hard to say. They couldn’t find the end zone last season against Bama.

QBs who “transfer” from Clemson do ok vs Bama.

Yes, I recall. So, mobile or pocket QBs do better against Bama?

My guess is IF (not a certainty anymore) Clemson goes to the Playoff, new cute little starter Twig Boy gets snapped in half...

Hope Trevor ends up okay....didn't think he'd take a tumble that fast....and he didn't play defense...Top 5 defense?

Chase was impressive! Take the win and move on

What a game last night!!! Oh how I would love to be a fly on the wall during half time.

Too many stupid penalties by OSU.. horrible play call by Penn State on the last drive... but.. such an exciting game!!!!

Ohio State should move to the number 2 spot.

I don’t get it. I haven’t Had any time to watch or read much about college football today, but how can Georgia possibly be ahead of Ohio State at this point. I don’t understand this week’s ranking.
I think the reasoning is that they believe in a neutral field UGA would win. I’m not so sure after what I’ve seen of UGA though. They kinda struggled against Tennessee.

Oh this strange world where a 26 point win is a struggle. A number of good teams struggled in games they should have rolled in. Of note to me, both gators and dawgs beat Tennessee by 26.

Ranking within the top 4 doesn’t matter much right now. UGA has a lot of tough games ahead. Potentially four top-15 opponents and us.

Is anyone else excited about how Kentucky is playing?

Heard that....you really need to be pulling for Penn State to win out, and win out impressive

They DID look out of sync a bit....

Georgia could very easily be ranked #1 (again) in the 1st CFP Poll....as their schedule goes @ LSU, BYE Week, Florida in Jacksonville, and @ Kentucky the weekend before the 1st Poll is out

.....and yes to Kentucky......if they make it past A & M next weekend, only Georgia is left in their way to Atlanta
