I certainly have no "Dawg" in this fight nor Sooner for that matter. But since I'm for all things anti-SEC (primarily anti-Alabama) I'll have to pull for the B12 team. It really makes no difference who wins this one, each will just be food for my SC Clemson Tigers. Go Tigers. OK boys, I gotta jump in on this. 'Tude, I luv you like a brother but I will must side with OWC when it comes to UGA. I'm was born and raised in Atlanta and grew up hearing that the only good thing about GA Tech was its proximity to The Varsity! We wore red & black on Saturday, Vince Dooley could do no wrong & the ONLY college football in GA was played between the hedges. Bogey, for you I'm hoping that the all the Alabama defensive players that were hurt during the last half of the season are not back to 100% before the game. If they are still thin on defense, Clemson wins handily. If Alabama is back to full strength, Clemson still has the edge with a superior offense, but it's a toss up - I'm thinking its going to be very close - no more than one possession difference in the final score. UGA vs. OU. Parker and Baker Mayfield played their last high school game against each other in the Alamodome (Lake Travis vs. Smithson Valley - 2012). It was a brawl/very physical game. In those days, Baker ran more than he threw. And when he threw, he had a 6'5" receiver with the last name of Shipley! Parker had more yardage passing, but Lake Travis won the game. Baker kinda had (maybe still does) that cocky Johnny Manzel type attitude, only with less drama. You can get under his skin - the key will be for UGA to keep continuous pressure, keep the pocket closed off and get him frustrated. Final score? I think Mayfield/OU gets 3 touchdowns, but that won't help with UGA's running game and the 4 touchdowns they will score. UGA by 10. Sorry 'Tude, but gotta be a Homer on this one! So UGA vs. Alabama or Clemson. Either way, that game could sell out 3 stadiums! I'm thinking it's going to be Clemson. I believe Clemson has the superior offense. Alabama just doesn't seem to have that stable of NFL type RB's that they "normally" have and their QB just doesn't appear to have the "fire" needed to get the job done. National Champs? too close to call - UGA/Clemson in a toss up

On a more serious note, it appears both OU and UGA coaches will have to deal with off the field problems by their players. OU’s sarting RB had a victims protective order filed against him yesterday and has a Dec 18 court date. Two UGA starters were arrested after the SEC championship game and cited for misdemeanor possession of marijuana. It’s the first offense for one player and the third for the other. The UGA handbook for student athletes calls for dismissal for a third offense and a two game suspension for a first offense.
Both coaches have said they are gathering more information.

Back to smack....
Saw an interesting Tweet comparing SEC/Georgia to B12/OU style of play. B12 is IMAX, SEC/Georgia is Silent Film it said.
Silent Film teams from the SEC have won 10 national championships in the BCS and CFP era. IMAX Big 12 teams have two trophies. But B12 teams have provided some entertaining losses.

Back in the day “gathering more information” would have translated to, “I’ll deal with this after the season is over.” Not sure that applies with Riley or Smart.

For those who want the short version of this thread
‘Tude: them Dawggies ain’t never seen the likes of our offense. Mayfield is gonna dazzle and amaze y’all SEC, SEC, SEC boys. Boomer!
OWC: You Red River boys ain’t never seen the likes of our defense. Water covers 70 per cent of the earth. Our Middle Linebacker covers the rest. Go Dawgs!

Setting aside trash talk for a moment, Mayfield is an exceptional QB. He will be very hard to beat. If I’m Georgia’s coach, I’s Get me some popcorn and watch reruns of the Iowa State game over and over to figure out how to beat Mayfield and the Sooners.

If I’m Georgia’s coach, I’s Get me some popcorn and watch reruns of the Iowa State game over and over to figure out how to beat Mayfield and the Sooners. If I were a betting man, I'd find another game to put my money on. Despite being a huge OU fan, I have no idea how this game will go. Give the two teams 4 weeks to prepare and just about anything could happen. Shoot, OU could totally revamp their defense or Georgia their offense. I do do like the fact that it's a totally neutral venue.

Tude, you need to up your game. I’m finding some good stuff on OU boards, hitch UGA fans have Ben posting on.
OU fan to UGA fan: Do color blind Georgia fans ever accidentally root for Green Bay ?
Curious Georgia fan to OU fan: what is Boomer Sooner ?
OU fan : Cocktaw for “we are gonna kick your butt”

Was at Big 12 Championship and got approved for my Rose Bowl Tickets. I'll be there, but going to have to fly into San Diego. DFW to LAX flights are ridiculous.
My thoughts, OU has the best offense in the country hands down, but we did in 2008 too and the layoff hurt. I'm hoping that Riley keeps em tuned up and ready!
