I didn't watch but from the score it looks like Notre Dame crushed #5 Clemson today.
By the transitive property...
Oops just saw CC's post. Heh. Great minds...
Lots of upsets today. Tough one in Baton Rouge for our household--really want to root against BK.
I'm no fan of BK, and I actually think Saban is a good dude. Nonetheless, there is a bright side to thinking there may only be one SEC team in the CFP. Bama now has two losses; so do the Bayou Bengals. Just need to tag Tennessee and Ole Miss with one more, and all they have left is Georgia.
Of course, I wouldn't put it past the playoff committee to select a two-loss SEC team over one-loss teams from other conferences.
While we were enduring utter humiliation yesterday, I watched the Tennessee-Georgia game; and based on all the games I have watched this season, the Bulldogs appear to be the class of NCAA Division 1 football. Their offense is efficient and can surprise with big chunk plays, while their defense is absolutely lethal. Going into that game yesterday, Tennessee boasted the highest scoring offense in the country, but didn't score a TD until late in the 4th quarter. Georgia completely defused the Hooker-Hyatt connection and made the Vols look inert on offense. The game was not as close as the 27-13 final score makes it look. Tennessee got 3 points off an early fumble and then were held to a second FG for most of the game; and with Georgia up 27-6 late in the 4th quarter, the Vols finally got into the end-zone. The ensuing onside kick failed, and the rest was just garbage time.
If Georgia continues to play at that level, I don't see a team that can beat them.
