Paul Finebaum gives his top-six following Week 13

Paul Finebaum released his new top-six after Week 13. Where is Georgia football?

Following a Week 13 that saw Georgia’s offense struggle in a win over Texas A&M, the SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum released his new top-six teams as we creep closer to the College Football Playoff.

This weekend, the CFP’s top five teams all took care of business, but No. 6 Oregon’s CFP dreams came to an end with a loss to Arizona State.

1) LSU beat Arkansas by almost 40 points, but the Tigers defense managed to allow 20 to Arkansas, which has the nation’s 106th ranked offense.

2) Ohio State looked good again in a win over top-ten Penn State, but Justin Fields did fumble three times.

3) Clemson took a bye week ahead of its game vs South Carolina next weekend.

4) Georgia, No. 4, looked like, well, Georgia. The defense played great as it usually does, but the offense continued to show its inability to find the end zone yet again. The thing is, we can’t blame offensive coordinator James Coley for this one. Jake Fromm missed two, maybe three touchdown passes vs the Aggies. Coley called a game that should have yielded 30+ points. They just need to execute better.

5) Alabama looked fine in a big win over Western Carolina.

6) Oregon went down to Arizona State 31-28.

Finebaum, who said that he thinks Georgia can still win it all, left the Bulldogs in his top-four and seems pretty high on the Dawgs and their style of play.

Utah found its way into the top-six thanks to the Oregon loss.

Here is his new top-six.

ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit ranks Top 6 heading into rivalry week

ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit ranks college football’s Top 6 heading into rivalry week

Kirk Hebrstreit, the ESPN college football analyst, released his latest Top 6 after Week 13 of the season. The longtime College Gameday reporter has the Bulldogs at No. 4 in his rankings, behind the trio of undefeated teams in Clemson, Ohio State and LSU.

But who else is in the Top 6? Well, here you go.

If we’re being honest here, the only ranking of much relevance is Alabama over Utah because the rest are becoming predictable at this point. We know the media is still in love with Alabama, despite losing junior quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, but will that be the case after Auburn?

Time will tell.

Twitter reacts to Georgia football’s win over TAMU

Twitter reacts as Georgia football beat Texas A&M.

Georgia football advanced to 10-1 with a win over Texas A&M on Saturday night.

With that win, Georgia closed out SEC play with a record of 7-1 and looks to advance to an overall 11-1 mark with a win over Georgia Tech on Saturday.

The Bulldogs, who will have a chance to take home the SEC Championship for the second time in three years two weeks from now vs LSU, will enjoy their win over the Aggies before getting back to work for Tech.

The game was not pretty at all. The offense played, well, poorly – aside from Rodrigo Blankenship that is.

But the Georgia strategy, as frustrating and questionable as it may be, has worked.

What’s that strategy, you ask?

Play great defense and just good enough offense.

Here are some social media reactions to the Georgia win:

 

Rodrigo Blankenship is now Georgia football’s all-time leading scorer

UGA K Rodrigo Blankenship is now Georgia football’s all-time leading scorer.

Rodrigo Blankenship is probably the most beloved kicker in the history of Georgia football, maybe even in all of college football.

And on Saturday, which happens to be Senior Day for him, he proved that he is deserving of that title, becoming the school’s all-time leading points scorer.

With his third field goal vs Texas A&M, Blankenship passed former Georgia kicker Blair Walsh for first in school history, and also passed him for second in SEC history.

Hot Rod, with 415, trails only Auburn’s Daniel Carlson, who finished his career with 480 in 2017.

Congratulations to Blankenship.

Respect the Specs.

Georgia football vs TAMU: Halftime report

Georgia football is leading the Texas A&M Aggies at the half.

The Texas A&M Aggies and Georgia Bulldogs just played an ugly half of football.

In a game that bears a striking resemblance to the Dawgs’ victory over Kentucky a few weeks ago, the rain and wind in Athens have played a big role in keeping this contest as a grind out, defensive battle. The Dawgs lead 13-3.

The Dawgs one true good drive was spearheaded by Jake Fromm, who hasn’t had a good game overall but delivered a strike to George Pickens for the only touchdown of the game.

Kicker Rodrigo Blankenship has also cashed in on two field goal attempts-one from 49 yards-to give Georgia its current point total. The Aggies capitalized on an impressive punt return with three points to reach their own total.

Jake Fromm is 4-13 on the contest with 72 yards. D’Andre Swift leads the rushing attack with 75 yards on 13 carries.

If the Dawgs defense continues their dominance and the offense improves as the weather clears up, this should be a cruise to the finish line for UGA.

Georgia vs TAMU: Jake Fromm hits George Pickens for game’s first touchdown

Georgia football QB Jake Fromm hits UGA WR George Pickens for a TD vs Texas A&M.

After an ugly first 20 minutes of football in the Georgia vs Texas A&M game, Jake Fromm and the Bulldogs’ offense were finally able to put together a drive that resulted in a touchdown.

Fromm had struggled all first half until eventually he hit Tyler Simmons on the sideline for a 27 yard gain on a back shoulder pass. The next play, Fromm hit Kearis Jackson on the same play but to the other sideline for a gain of 22.

Next thing we knew, Fromm had the Bulldogs offense in the red zone, where he was able to hit freshman George Pickens for a 16 yard touchdown.

Georgia Tech QB in postgame interview: ‘THWG’

Georgia Tech QB James Graham kicked off the trash talk with UGA football.

Quarterback James Graham and Georgia Tech (3-8) took down NC State (4-7) Thursday night in Atlanta.

For the Yellow Jackets, you’d think they had just won the College Football Playoff after seeing the reactions from the players and fans on social media and in Bobby Dodd Stadium.

But in reality, the Jackets beat a Wolfpack team that came into the game with a 4-6 record.

Next week, Clean Old-Fashioned Hate is resumed for the 114th time when Georgia travels to Atlanta to play Tech.

Despite its 3-8 record, Tech is sounding awfully confident with the Bulldogs looming on the schedule.

Following a 28-26 win over NC State, Tech quarterback James Graham, who did in-fact have a nice game on Thursday, kicked off the trash talk between the Dawgs and Jackets in a postgame interview with FOX5’s Cody Chaffins.

“I’m ready for next week,” Graham said. “We’re going to show the world what’s up and hopefully we’ll get a win next week too.”

When asked what next week is going to mean to him, Graham said:

“THWG. To hell with Georgia.”

 

 

Paul Finebaum thinks Georgia football can win it all

ESPN’s Paul Finebaum believes Georgia football can still win the CFP.

Paul Finebaum, while on the set of SEC Nation which was posted up in Athens today ahead of Georgia’s final SEC game vs Texas A&M, says he believes that the Bulldogs can win the national championship.

“Call me crazy, but I still think Georgia can still win the national championship,” Finebaum said. “I have not understood so many people wanting to write them off. … What are they missing? This is a really good football team and Kirby Smart is doing a little bit of rope-a-dope.”

Georgia still has two more tough ones ahead of it if it wants to even get into the College Football Playoff, but with the way the Dawgs are playing this month, especially on defense, it’s really not that crazy to think they can make another run at the national title.

The Playoff committee has Georgia at No. 4 for a reason.
