TOPIC: National Championship

National Championship

#1 3 years, 5 months ago
The stars are aligning for an Oklahoma-Florida national championship game. I really would like to see Alabama win it all, but I just don't see them stopping Florida. I don't think they have the offensive firepower to hang with the Gators, and playing good D against Florida means holding them to 35 points instead of 50 something. Bama also had what amounts to a cupcake schedule this year, when you consider that Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, and Auburn all fell off the map. It won't be as bad as what Florida's been doing to folks like us and FSU, but I'm not expecting it to be real close either. Florida's defense looks great on paper. They've only had more than 20 scored on them twice all season. Calling it Florida 38 Bama 24.

As for Ok-can't-win-a-BCS-game-lahoma, they've been torching everything in sight lately. Four straight 60+ point games. They DO have a D, but it has been inconsistent. They hold the incredible Mad Scientist Texas Tech offense to 14 points and then turn around and let Oklahoma State score 41 on them.

I think we'll have a shootout on our hands if these two meet up, but Oklahoma won't be able to hang 50 on a Gators D that has only allowed more than 20 points twice. It all depends on which Oklahoma D shows up. If its the D that held Texas Tech to 14, it should be a good night for the Sooners. If its Oklahoma's normal Big 12 D, Florida will score at will and hold Oklahoma to a high-for-most-teams-but-low-for-them type figure.

Calling it: Florida 49, Oklahoma 38

Florida should be the favorite but I like 'Bama's attitude.
Don't count them out.

I hope you're right UGAChemDawg and on paper, I think you're right on.
My concern is 'Bama's D-Line and O-Line. I have a feeling they will handle the Gators easily. I just hope that our \"skilled\" guys can make up the difference. Also, Percy Harvin is is hurt and that will be a huge factor!

The pretty pick is obviously UF but usually Defense and the guys up front on both sides of the ball control the game. For that reasoning, don't count out Bama. They have been going about their business very quietly and imposing their will on everybody making them play the way Bama wants to play the game. Not pretty and flashy but very overpowering.....also don't feel UF likes to be punched in the mouth, they aren't a physical team as much as a finess team (I know, I know, Spikes and Tebow). It will be a very interesting game to say the least.

Plus, Bama is 100% healthy.

I'm sorry, but I've got to pull for the Gators, because I don't think Bama can beat Oklahoma.

We understand your position RxCowboy/RxDawgboy, but we don't want UF to even win a pie eating contest!!

  • NCAA golf and tennis underway at UGA, softball on Friday

    ATHENS — I’m over here in the press box at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex watching the No. 6-seeded Georgia women take on 11th-seeded Texas in the first round of the NCAA Tennis Championships. The Lady Bulldogs won the doubles point, so it’s 1-0 and Georgia is up a set at all six singles positions.

    Georgia Tech’s women’s team played earlier today and lost to No. 9 California 4-0. That ends the Yellow Jackets’ season at 16-12. The men get underway tomorrow.

    Meanwhile, I’ll take this opportunity to catch you up on some other news happening in and around Athens and UGA...

  • UGA golfers hopes to ride wave of good karma through NCAA regionals

    ATHENS — The NCAA Men’s Golf Regional at the UGA Golf Course is underway today and the Bulldogs are feeling good about advancing to the NCAA Championships.

    And why shouldn’t they? There has been a lot of good karma oozing out of the Bulldogs’ clubhouse  at the Boyd Golf Center here lately.

    University of Georgia golfers or alums have been winning tournaments all over the place for the past year or so, including those played right there off their back porch. Two weeks ago Hudson Swafford holed a bunker shot on the 72nd hole and shot a final-round 62 to...

  • Florida influence apparent in managment style of UGA’s Greg McGarity

    ATHENS – There are some nervous coaches around Georgia’s athletic department these days. That tends to happen when the coach of perennial top 10 program abruptly resigns the week after finishing 11th.

    Georgia gymnastics coach Jay Clark offered his resignation shortly after meeting with UGA athletic director Greg McGarity on May 4 and it served as an overture to his staff. Clark had two years remaining on a five-year contract he signed when he succeeded ultra-successful head coach Suzanne Yoculan in 2009.

    The Gym Dogs weren’t awful under Clark, not by a long stretch. But they fell well short of the standards...

  • No. 2 seed Georgia ready again to rock NCAA tennis championships

    ATHENS — For a little while there, the horrifying thought of not being able to play in the NCAA Championships while hosting them entered the minds of the Georgia Bulldogs on Sunday. But just as quickly, the No. 3-ranked and No. 2-seeded Bulldogs put that notion to rest and steamrolled Florida State in singles to advance to this week’s Round of 16.

    Georgia (25-2) lost the doubles point in its second-round match against Florida State on Sunday afternoon. But in the matter of an hour it was clear the Bulldogs weren’t in mid-stumble toward a face plant. The Bulldogs quickly regained...
