    The bearcats are clawing away. This one might come down to the wire.

    I have to say that I was expecting JT Daniels to carve up the Cincinnati defense, but the Bearcats are playing very well on defense.

    Cinn defense has been great but feels like they a weary dam are trying to hold off a flood.

    UGA defense has come up big in second half.

    UGA eliminated turnovers and was able to come back.

    Even though I picked Georgia in the contest, I hated to see Cincinnati loose that one, and the safety in the end zone was a double dose for the Bearcats.

    great game. Georgia’s db’s play leaving his man and breaking up the pass on 4th down was a game saver for the Bulldogs.

    I really needed Georgia to win. I just couldn't take another UCF type situation.

    My favorite part of the game was all the closeups of Mrs. Fickell and Mrs. Freeman. Stunning blue eyes. Who won? ;)

    In the end UGA defense was just too good, Cincinnati defense was also very good, but it was the Georgia defense just stuffing the Cincinnati offense that was the key.

    Ok here's how I see this one starting. Alabama is tied or behind at the end of the first quarter. After that it will all depend on how Alabama's offense is playing. If they are clicking Notre Dame is in trouble, if they are not Alabama is in trouble. Notre Dame's defense is better than Alabama's.

    Auburn clawed back into the Citrus Bowl but after coming up short on a 4th down QB sneak, NW scored and now holds a 28-13 lead. The only anxiety left for NW fans is if an NFL team will poach Fitzgerald.

    Well it is close now. I am expecting a 3 - 4 TD win by Alabama. Our pass defense gave up over 400 yds to the Clemson backup, and the Alabama WR group is better than Clemson and Mac Jones is much better than that Clemson backup.
