Disclaimer: I'm an Oregon Ducks fan through and through and definitely rooted for them in the opening season blowout to Georgia.)

Having lived in Atlanta for 12 years, I became a pretty big Georgia Bulldogs fan. Have always rooted for them unless playing the Ducks.

Now, living in Nashville, I've also become somewhat of a Tennessee Vols fan, as well. That makes today's game interesting.

I've ALWAYS hated Alabama. To me, Alabama is the University of Washington of the SEC.

Tennessee has already beaten Alabama this season. I highly doubt they'd do it again in an SEC Championship game. Tennessee and Georgia are in the same division. Hence, today's winner would most likely play Alabama in the SEC Championship.

From a technical standpoint, I'll probably root for Georgia. If they beat Tennessee today, then beat Alabama in the SEC Championship. that makes The Crimson Tide a two-loss team and Tennessee would most likely remain ahead of them, assuming they win out. If Tennessee wins today, then they would most likely face Alabama in the SEC Championship, and (again) I doubt they beat Alabama twice in one season.

It's been many years since #1 faced #2 in the regular season. Should be a great game!!

Georgia will pounce them and make a statement they should be #1 in all the land.

I was born in Atlanta and my father was born and raised in Alabama, therefor my allegiance is to those two schools unless they play my Beavers.

I've said this many times in here.
I still love a lot of Southern food. I love how you can be driving in the country and a farmer sitting on his front porch maybe a thousand feet or more away from the road will wave to you as you drive by. Of course it helps if you are White.
We had family get togethers that were wondrous. Iced tea, fried chicken, potato salad, turnip greens, watermelon and maybe some chocolate cake.
My aunt was a baby sitter for Margaret Mitchell. She got invited to the opening of Gone With the Wind with Clark Gable, Vivian Leigh, etc. After the movie she got invited to a party with the cast. She took her brother, my uncle, with her. That was my aunt Olive and Uncle Clarence.
They had two sisters, my mom and my aunt Carolyn who were denied by my grandfather and had to go live and grow up with my adopted grandmother in Caldwell, Washington near Canada and Idaho even though my aunt Carolyn was the spitting image of my aunt Olive.
There's a lot that my father and I loved about the South but ignorance, stubbornness and racial prejudice are not among them.
My father wanted me to get into engineering at Georgia Tech.
Georgia Tech. and Emory were the only two schools that my dad and I considered enlightened. I do have a cousin who graduated with a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Alabama. She married a Chinese man also with a University of Alabama PhD in Chemical Engineering and they both teach at Princeton. You'd think that her husband would have raised a lot of eyebrows considering that my cousin is blonde but no, he has been welcomed into the family.
I love ham and beans with turnip greens, cornbread and buttermilk. I also love biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast.

My Alabama grandmother made it with lard. Add coffee as the liquid and you have yourself red eye gravy.
We make our sausage gravy with milk and flour which some people call white gravy.
 
One play. TD!!
 
I see blowout city.

BTW, I felt for the Beavs last night.
 
Me thinks a GA win gives the Ducks a better chance to make the playoffs

Theres a part of me that wishes I lived in the south because:

A.) I’d be the smartest person who lived in my neighborhood by a good mile

B.) everything is much cheaper down south and money goes a long ways

Phew!

I laid money down on Georgia -9

Nice.

The top ten rankings may end up looking like this:

1) Georgia
2) Ohio State
3) Michigan
4) TCU
5) Tennessee (could flip-flop with TCU)
6) Oregon
7) USC
8) UCLA
9) LSU
10) Alabama
 
As an aside, that Bama/LSU game was awesome. I love it that Brian Kelly went for the 2-point conversion in OT.....most likely killing the Crimson Tide's playoff chances.
 
If Oregon wins out they will end up 3 I think. OSU/Michigan one is going to lose that game and fall. I think Tennessee will end up 5. That USC/UCLA game is going to be big.

But would a 1 loss BIG10 team fall behind a 1 loss PAC12 team when that PAC12 team was blown like the Ducks were?

Super annoying because Georgia is killing everyone. Tennessee got schooled. I'm going to be SUPER annoyed if a 2 loss LSU jumps us.

If Oregon is the Pac 12 champ and the other was runner up I think so. The Pac has 4 teams in the top 13 or so right now. I think if you come out undefeated in the Pac with the only loss at Georgia, yeah I think hte BIG 10 team falls outside the top 5
