What: 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship, Division 1, Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS)
When: Monday, 1-8-2018, 8:15 Eastern Standard Time
Where: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta GA, TV and Radio: ESPN (yeah I know)
Who: #1 Ranked SEC Champion Georgia Bulldogs (13-1), Coach Kirby Smart, versus The #4 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (12-1), Coach Nick Saban. Saban is looking to tie coach Bear Bryant's record 6 national titles.
Why: Why not? I heard the President is attending the game
Let’s see.....
UCF played Maine, Memphis, Cincinnati, East Carolina, Austin Peay, Connecticut, and Temple.
Need I say more?
Great pick.
ROLL TIDE!!!
“Bama has had so many injuries. It’s amazing they made it this far.”
You aren’t kidding. I just turned 47 years old and I have never seen so many injuries in one year.
If Bama wins tomorrow night this will be, IMO, Saban’s best coaching job.
Roll Tide!
Been very cold down here for several ays, just now getting back up above freezing for a two-three hours on Sunday afternoon. Local schools are expecting freezing rain in the morning tomorrow.
Bad day for Trump to be in town - I’d prefer he stay in DC for this one.
Interesting that Atlanta Falcons had a superbowl team at the beginning of 2017, and a national championship game for one of the local major GA teams (GA Tech and GA) in Jan for the 2017 season.
We got a lot back against Clemson. Some guys are healthy now, particularly Minkah Fitzpatrick being 100%. Those guys were freaking ferocious against Clemson.
We're gonna need some offense to keep up with GA.
Roll Tide! My daughter us a junior there.
At least they're picking the Good Guys this time. LOL. I think Trump is a Saban fan.
Hope its a good game with a little defense
Hook ‘em
Go jo-ja
Alabama played Mercer. Your point?
Only one team finished the season undefeated *and* they beat the team that beat BOTH Alabama and Georgia. They should be #1. Case closed.
I have no idea as to the outcome.
GO DAWGS!
Scott Frost is an unbelievable coach. Nebraska will be worth watching next year.
Oregon slaughtered Florida State with Frost calling the plays. He left for UCF and was not with Oregon for the championship game against Ohio. Oregon was nothing without Scott even with Mariota.
PAC12 sucked this year, but we’ll be back. My bet’s on Georgia to eek out the win.
Thank you. I’ll be here! GO DAWGS
Alabama and Georgia are evenly matched. They should play three games over three weeks to determine the winner. Turnovers might decide tomorrow’s game.
I’ll be on plane from Chicago to LA.
UCF isn’t #1 because of strength of schedule.
UGA fired Mark Richt because even though he had the highest winning percentage of any coach in UGA history he failed to deliver a national championship. We’ll see if their latest investment pays off tonight.
GO, DAWGS!
