Saturday vs Sunday

Georgia dominated Bama in the SEC championship game leading wire to wire and leaving no doubt they're one of the best teams in the country. 

Bama is limping their way into the playoffs with one of their worst performances of the year. 

Georgia is firing on all cylinders with an efficient offense and what is now looking like a championship caliber defense. Nobody wants to play Georgia in the CFP.

Oregon beat Washington on the road to finish 11-1 for the regular season. Washington is a tough out at home as this is only their second home loss in the past 27 games. 

The Ducks have been showcasing their depth as they have been dealing with multiple injuries throughout the latter half of the season. 

Missing out on the BIG10 championship game might just be a blessing in disguise, as it gives the Ducks time to heal in preparation for the playoffs.

Washington had a good season and will likely be competing for a playoff spot next year if Demond Williams continues to improve at QB.

Texas Tech and BYU finish 11-1 and head to the Big12 championship game for a rematch.

Texas Tech smoked WVU 49-0 in a game that was no contest right out of the gates. The Red Raiders are heading into the conference championship game firing on all cylinders and look every bit like a national championship contender.

BYU took about 15 mins to find their footing against UFC falling behind 14-0. After that they woke up and outscored UCF 41-7. At game time the Cougar's already knew they were in the Big 12 title game which could have contributed to them coming out flat. They cannot afford to do the same against the Red Raiders.

Georgia wins an ugly rock fight of a game against Georgia Tech. This is truly the embodiment of a rivalry game where we can 'throw away the regular season records'. 

The Bulldogs defense lead the way shutting down the Yellowjackets run game holding them to 69 yards rushing while UGA's offense put up 190 yards on the ground. Georgia only put up 70 yards passing on 11/17 from Gunner Stockton. This is definitely an anomaly compared to the rest of the season. 

Is this a source of concern for Bulldog fans going into the post season? Or do we just chalk it up to a rivalry game where anything can truly happen?

Georgia Tech's ACC title hopes are still alive.

Georgia needs a much better offensive performance in the SEC title game no matter who they are facing.

Ole Miss plays a dominant game to finish off their first 11-1 season and virtually guaranteeing a spot in the playoffs. Trinidad Chambliss was outstanding throwing for 359 and 4TDs, and Kewan Lacy added 143+ yards on the ground and a TD. 

Ole Miss looks like one of the best teams in the country and fully capable of winning a national championship. The question will be if Lane Kiffin will still be in Oxford by the time the national championship trophy is awarded.

Indiana completed the 12-0 regular season in a frigid game at Purdue. The Hoosiers run game put up 355 yards and the defense held the Boilermakers to just 3 points. 

The Hoosiers are waiting to see who they will be facing in the BIG10 title game which they are absolutely capable of winning. 

Star players Elijah Sarratt (WR) and Mikail Kamara (DL) returned. Indiana is getting healthy at the right time and are poised to go on a long run in the playoffs.

Texas finally found a run game. The Longhorns rushed for 170 yards in the second half of the game pulling away from the Aggies. Once Texas took the lead, they did not relinquish it. Each time the Aggies scored to close the gap, the Longhorns responded and stayed in front. 

With 5 mins left in the game the Aggies had a chance to come back, but Marcel Reed was picked off on back to back possession. The Longhorns defense rose to the occasion shutting down any chance the Aggies had for another improbably comeback. 

Regardless of this loss, the Aggies 11-1 record should be enough to guarantee a spot on the playoffs. The Longhorns on the other hand might still be on the outside looking in. We will have to wait and see what the committee decides to do.

Joe Burrow once again has come back from injury and lead the Cincinnati to a critical win over division rival Baltimore, keeping their ever so slim playoff hopes alive.

The Bengals maligned defense was the story of the game combined with the Ravens lack of ball security. The Raven repeatedly turned the ball over in either the plus or minus red zones killing drives, and handing the Bengals the ball in scoring position. 

To the Ravens credit their defense held the bengals to field goals on multiple turnovers keeping the game close at half time. The turnovers however kept coming.

In the second half it appeared Burrow had shaken off the rust and started connecting down field with Chase. Burrow also completed a 29 yard TD strike to Iosivas, and another 14 TD strike to Tanner Hudson who made an impressive one handed catch being guarded by Kyle Hamilton.

The Bengals kept their playoff hopes alive no matter how small the chance is.

The Ravens have a turnover problem, and what is worse, it's coming from their best players in the biggest games against division and playoff rivals.

NFL Week 12 is almost in the books and the true contenders for a playoff spot are starting to emerge. 

The New England Patriots have the best record in the NFL at 10-2 and could easily be 12-0. Will Campbell their star rookie left tackle suffered a knee injury, as of the time of this post we still do not know the severity.

The Los Angles Rams look like the best team in the NFC. Matthew Stafford looks like an MVP candidate and the defense is nasty.

The Chicago Bears are leading the NFC North, and it looks like Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams are starting to figure it out. 

QB Injuries:

Multiple QB's have missed significant time including Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels, Brock Purdy, Aaron Rodgers, CJ Stroud, Kyler Murray, Michael Penix Jr., JJ McCarthy and Jaxson Dart. 

In a QB driven league whoever can stay healthy at that position is likely going to be one of the few teams that can go on a long playoff run.

Shedeur Sanders gets his first start and his first win. There was some good and some bad, namely a 52 yard completion to Isaiah Bond on the run, and then a bad interception to a defense end. Just about what you would expect from a rookie starting QB. 

Sanders popularity and controversial nature overshadowed a dominant defense performance from the Browns who got 10 sacks, lead by Myles Garrett with 4. Garrett is on pace to break the single season sack record and looks utterly unstoppable.

The Raiders have sunk to a new low mustering up only 10 points and Chip Kelly has since been fired. The road back to being a competitive team for the Raiders seems impossibly long. The Browns on the other hand have a championship level defense, and some nice young pieces on offense. 

The real question that is yet to be answered, is who will be the quarterback of the future. It looks like they're going to give Sanders his chance to make his case as he's getting the start next week against the 49ers even though Dillon Gabriel has cleared concussion protocol.
