Howdy from the Alamo City Sietch family. Here's the live press conference of LSU Tigers Football Coach Brian Kelly:

Welcome to the SEC West, Coach Kelly. Please pick up your mandatory loss to Alabama at the Loss Claims Department. The SEC Week In Review regrets to inform you that you will continue to be portrayed as having an impossible to understand Cajun accent.

More seriously, good on LSU, good on Coach Kelly, hopefully this means no more wasted playoff spots taken up by Notre Dame for a while.

Kelly will be pressured to win at least 1 national championship in Baton Rouge.

Big question is whether LSU will go (10-2) or (11-1) on Kelly's watch ?

OK, I'm gonna throw my picks at the wall and see what sticks.

Sunbelt: Appalachian Louisiana won.
C-USA: UTSA
MAC: Kent State (honestly don't know the teams well on this one) Northern Illinois wins it.
Big 10: Michigan
Big 12: Oklahoma State Baylor holds after 1st & Goal for OK State! Good on ya' Bears!
ACC: Pittsburgh
AAC: Houston upsets Cincinnati Nope, Cincinnati spanked Houston.
Pac 12: Utah (Oregon is overrated.)
SEC: Georgia Uh uh! The reign of Alabama continues...decisively.
Mountain West: San Diego State Nope, Utah state wins.

Edit: BOLD means I got that game call right.

Results are in, and I got 4 outta 10 right! You know, I should work for the government with that win percentage. I'd get to be in charge of some random bureau I know nothing about!

What a day!

Any further gloating by Alabama Fans will be grounds for having a Boot... do something unpleasant to you. I know that the only thing Alabama has is football and the penitentiary, and the Boot will gladly allow that you are marginally competent at both, but gloating will result in ABUSE OF OWNERSHIP AUTHORITY BY THIS GEORGIA FAN. ((just kidding, good game to the Tide)

Lol, given I live in Bama now and Mac Jones is my quarter back, I've been rooting for them. And oh, it was great to see them win. Honestly, Alabama won despite not being able to sustain a drive, don't ask me how.

Ban me!

What really surprised me was that the Georgia defense couldn't keep 'bama out of the end zone.

They couldn't stop big plays, that was their problem. They killed the run, and they could stop them from having sustained drives, but kept giving up huge catches.

 

[bintananth]

Looks like the playoff is going to be Michigan, Cincinnati, Alabama, and Notre Dame unless Georgia only drops to #4.

I doubt the committee is going to pick a 2-loss team over Notre Dame and Georgia is probably getting dropped to #5.

 

[The Whispering Monk]

I expect Notre Dame to get dropped and Georgia to take their place.

 

[Abhorsen]

My guess is that they keep Georgia.

 

[bintananth]

My guess is that they keep Georgia.

It all depends on how far the committee drops Georgia because, as I understand it, they're reluctant to have two teams from the same conference in the playoff.
