Georgia was overrated this year.

 

It looked that way, yesterday, but maybe LSU is just a juggernaut.

 

Would you put Oregon, Florida, Wisconsin or anyone else ahead of them in the final poll?

 

I will admit the 5-10 teams are pretty bunched up.

First, I have to say, I hate Ohio State, but they got ripped off by that call. The guy clearly caught the ball, took 3 steps and fumbled. They called a fumble on the play, but the play was overruled. Horrible call.

 

Second, this Clemson organization deserves plenty of Kudos.

 

LSU looks unstoppable.

 

My Domers had a nice bowl win.

 

Memphis gave Penn State a scare but blew it near the end with a bad interception.

 

Kudos to LA Tech for upsetting and shutting out Miami.

 

Stillsome nice games to go:

 

ALA-MICH

 

ORE-WIS

 

BAY-GA

 

MN-AUB

 

LSU-CLEM

Assuming Georgia holds on tonight, here's how I see the final rankings:

 

1. LSU (Clemson, if they pull an upset) 15-0

2. Clemson (LSU, if they lose) 14-1

3. Ohio St. 13-1

4. Georgia 12-2

5. Oregon 12-2

6. Oklahoma 12-2

7. Florida 11-2

8. Penn St. 11-2

9. Alabama 11-2

10. Notre Dame 11-2

11. Minnesota 11-2

12. Baylor 11-3

13. Iowa 10-3

14. Auburn 9-4

15. Navy 10-2/Utah 11-3

Our domers had a nice bowl win vs a team that had no business being on the field with them. 10-2 and only losses are to ranked teams and you stuff them in the camping world bowl with an unranked opponent. F U bowl committee

That loss to Michigan killed us.

 

We keep playing the hardest opponent real close but lose, then lose a game we should win.

 

I'm not sure we'll ever get back on top with all the academic restrictions we have these days.

Of course my boss hasn't told us yet.

 

I'm happy though. Far and away the right move. When you pour your heart and soul into everything you do and live your life to the fullest, things like this don't really impact you. I know I did that for this job, so I can look back and be proud of the work I did, even if I never got the chance to be the lead videographer, as I would've been this year

I have a friend who worked for the USC football team during their national title years. He even had a ring or two that he'd wear once in a while. It made me extremely jealous that my chosen colleges were not football powerhouses (though Richmond did have a decent FCS team for a few years).

I wanted to go to a school that was a football/sports powerhouse. One of my final 3 was Ohio State. But I couldn't turn my back on the team I grew up rooting for, even if they weren't as good as they once we're. I firmly believe that I wouldn't have had an opportunity to work in my favorite sport if I ended up at Ohio State, so I'm perfectly happy with my decision. I've been contemplating pursuing a career in sports but accounting is far more lucrative and much safer, so I guess this helps me make my decision

I've had some friends that have done marketing and accounting for some of the MLB teams. They didn't stay very long.

Yeah I can understand why. I only went to 4 road games last year and it took me a few days to recover from the red eyes home, and most times we had practice the following day. It's worth pointing out that football is the shortest season of all the sports, and I'm 21 and in perfect health. The guy that hired me left a few months later because he was burned out. He was in his late 20s. He came back to a game the next fall and had lost like 50 pounds. They say if you want to work in sports, do it when you're young.
