YoloinOhio Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 Iโm excited. But really know nothing about UGA because I rarely ย watch the sec. Other than they are reining national champs and smoked lsu yesterday. Any scouting reports? Quote

Bill from NYC Posted December 4, 2022 Author Posted December 4, 2022 Just now, YoloinOhio said: UGA -6.5 I am going to jump on OSU but of course I hope that it goes to 7. ย The UGA QB is a smart guy and is pretty accurate. Your defense scares me a bit but I am pretty sure that your receivers will score touchdowns.ย ย NO OFFENSE, but I think that you have a better shot of winning against them than you did against Alabama 2 years ago. One thing I am sure of.....this Georgia team is not as good as that Bama team. ย I am not trying to blow smoke up your a$@, but I think that Ohio State can and will win the title. ย Good luck! Quote

I mean UGA is the best team in college football over the past 18 months and that conference championship is the best case for a mercy rule I've seen in a while.ย ย That said, SEC guys talk like every SEC team's conference schedule is 8 games against 2019 LSU. OSU is coming off of an embarrassment at home and the coming four weeks of being pooh-poohed as the backdoor in to the playoff with the soft schedule up against the big, bad bulldogs. I think 6.5 is about right with Ohio State having a shot at keeping it close to the end and if they get the ball late...who knows? ย If Ohio State plays loose and aggressive like they're capable of, maybe they don't wilt in a big game this time around. I'll be in if it goes to OSU +7. 1 Quote

EasternOHBillsFan Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 The best thing about the CFP is knowing that Xichigan will lose. I don't expect the Buckeyes to beat UGA, but I KNOW that UGA can beat Xichigan if TCU can't. Quote

Turns out that their defense might be better than last season. ย J.J. McCarthy has talent to air it out, but the Wolverines are a run first team. ย All Michigan does is win with smash mouth football, it's not sexy, but it works. ย When it comes to facing Texas Christian, it's all about stopping Max Duggan and their top receiver, whose name escapes me. ย If Michigan can continue to play to their strengths, they can win. 1 Quote
