A soar throat and sore arm doing the tomahawk racist shit every time Georgia scored. It was sickening to see middle age white men in chief feathered head dresses tomahawking. Go on back to DeSatan land, where white folk rule and women are owned.

Their decision to elevate Alabama over FSU will still have to be played on the field, but I hardly think Alabama will fare as badly as FSU Monday night.

nothing that would have warranted being in CFP.

Next year, more teams are in playoff. I feel a bit sorry for Georgia not getting in after a great season, and I’m a GA Tech fan.

The Orange was the worst, by far, but with so many top players not playing because of the transfer portal or the NFL draft, post season bowl games just aren't what they use to be.
Big money and commercialism is destroying college football. Is college basketball next on the chopping block?

Witness: This disintegration of the once-proud PAC 12 conference.

but I suspect in about 5 years I will only be watching high school. College football is already very hard to watch and about a couple more years and basketball will be the same.

Money, money, money.

I think it is a royal shame that the Pac 12 is gone.

QB Jordan Travis, his backup who decided to transfer before the game, it’s top running back, either of its top receivers, its starting tight end or multiple defensive starters. Georgia probably would have won if those players had played, but we can’t draw any conclusions about FSU from this game. Just like we can’t draw any conclusions about Ohio State losing yesterday after its QB transferred before the bowl game and it’s best player decided he didn’t want to play the game.

What we can conclude is that the current incarnation of college football is broken. These players get a free education, some get paid to play, and then they leave the team because the rules allow that.

But FSU players quit prior to the game instead.

I have zero sympathy for them.

But just saying that Ohio State players did the same, as have the players of many other schools.
