Who do you leave out if you want UGA in?

Yeah I fully expect the Superdome to be 80% orange tomorrow.
Washington still beats them.
All of this is becoming dangerous to the sport. Without a thoughtful process, the transfer timing and fluidity has made the bowl games meaningless. If the bowl games are meaningless, what the hell is the point of the season?
They can make the end of year tourny 12 or 16 or 24… whatever…. If they can’t keep the teams together through the bowl season, the purpose of the season begins to make no sense.

I was there during the sugar bowl once. I didn’t go for the game. Wife and I went to bourbon street on game night and had the place to ourselves. One of my most memorable experiences
I’m pretty sure @Duff Man popped some blood vessels making this exact point 24 hours ago.
The point is to sell broadcast rights and advertisements.
s!
Certainly.
And that's always the short-sighted purpose of most mainstream "sports." Problem is when the sole function of the sport shifts to making big money, the underlying product can be devastated. The "sponsors" can just move on to find new content to advertise on, but the sport that got ruined can take a long time to recover. Not a lot of examples for anything this big, but professional beach volleyball comes to mind as an unfortunate example--as someone who grew up playing at South Boulder Rec, watching Stoklos and Smith, Hav'y Dodd, Karch and Kent at the Cervo Gold every year on "my courts." Everything was on the upswing in the 90's. It even had a regular Saturday spot on NBC. From what I've read, the demands of money and advertisers to grow too fast were unsustainable; though, it's a very complicated story, as I recall.

WTF?
Flaming out? Says something when they are playing this as a chance to gain respect and getting beaten up by a P5 team that isn't all that interested in being there.
Wisconsin/LSU is a good game but again with the consideration that LSU has a bunch of guys not playing including the Heisman trophy winner and some prospective draft choices.
Iowa being Iowa. No offense but they have no offense. Did have a solid drive but ended it with a INT in the end zone. So far in one half of football they have a total of 81 yards on offense, an embarrassment.

This game would have so much more fun with Air Force in it. Ohhhh what could have been.
Not gonna lie, I’m happy Liberty is getting their doors blown off, even if by Dan Lanning and Oregon. **** that school
Iowa played 3 ranked teams this year (Penn State, Michigan, and Tennessee) where they’ve gone 0-3 and have been outscored 78-0 (so far).
The B1G West was an absolute joke this year. CU probably wins 8-9 games with their schedule

It's not much different than if we put Georgia up against an 8-4 team from P4 and said that the championship is on the line. The elite P4s are just on another level with the number of future NFL guys starting and having top tier depth.
Yep. Should be 4 highest ranked conference champs with 8 at large bids. A G5 that has an undefeated season with a strong schedule and ends ranked top 10 should and will get in, but top G5 ranked #25 is a joke playing a top 10 P5 team

I’m hoping Committee chooses exactly this given they will likely have to address P2 issue.
Don't dis on Iowa, they beat a bunch of tough opponents like Nebraska, Illinois, Rutgers, Northwestern, Purdue, Michigan State, plus their OOC schedule. They even scored 20 or more 3 times in conference.
Have to give them credit though, they did throw a TD pass in this game. Went to the opposing defense but it was a TD.
They are up to 148 yards of total offense early in the 4th quarter so if they have a really good quarter they can get that average to more than 50 yards per quarter.
Ideal situation, a bunch of Nebraska booster put together a bunch of money and they hire him in stinkoln in a couple years when they fire Rhule. Be the perfect match

LSU DL decided they wanted to eat.
being forced to watch the Iowa offense is a form of cruel and unusual punishment
