ffldrew 3,234 Posted August 8 Auburn 2020 schedule goes to move the Georgia game to October and get away from finishing season UGA/Cupcake/BAMA - so new schedule comes out and its Cupcake/LSU/Bama. Not sure that "improves" anything - it might be worse playing LSU week before Iron Bowl instead of cupcake. Still playing GA away and Bama away. I thought they were working to flip that so it would be split on location. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yogibear 87 Posted August 9 Here's how I expect the Top 25 teams to finish, and what their records will be after the regular season: (Note: I'm leaving out conference championship games because this is only based on the regular season): 1. Alabama (12-0) 2. Clemson (12-0) 3. Georgia (12-0) 4. Oklahoma (12-0) 5. Texas (11-1; Only loss is to Oklahoma) 6. Ohio State (12-0) 7. Notre Dame (11-1; Only loss is to Georgia) 8. LSU (10-2; Losses to Texas, Alabama) 9. Oregon (12-0) 10. Florida (10-2; Losses to LSU, Georgia) 11. Michigan (10-2: Losses to Notre Dame, Ohio State) 12. Washington (11-1; Only loss is to Oregon) 13. Texas A&M (8-4; Losses to Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, LSU) 14. Utah (11-1; Only loss is to Washington) 15. Central Florida (12-0) 16. Penn State (10-2; Losses to Michigan, Ohio State) 17. Auburn (6-6; Losses to Oregon, Texas A&M, Florida, LSU, Georgia, Alabama) 18. Iowa (10-2; Losses to Michigan State, Penn State) 19. Wisconsin (9-3; Losses to Michigan, Ohio State, Iowa) 20. Mississippi State (8-4; Losses to Auburn, Texas A&M, LSU, Alabama) 21. Michigan State (8-4; Losses to Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State, Michigan) 22. Virginia Tech (11-1; Only loss is to Notre Dame) 23. Iowa State (9-3; Losses to Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas) 24. Nebraska (9-3; Losses to Ohio State, Wisconsin, Iowa) 25. Stanford (8-4; Losses to Central Florida, Oregon, Washington, Notre Dame) Yes, I believe Auburn will go 6-6 because they have toughest schedule of anyone in college football, but I still see them getting a bowl game because of it. And that means the SEC Championship Game will be between Georgia and Alabama with Alabama, and yes, I have those two in the college football playoff as well. The other 2 I have in are Clemson and Oklahoma. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't begin to fathom a large group of people congregating right there in that little square as the masses begin to come in to start their day.

That makes sense for you since you have a pass and it doesn't cost you extra. That's probably the case for a decent amount of Miami/Florida fans too. I've been to gameday once and it was a cool experience to see in person. I even made my way up to the front row but we weren't THAT close to the stage anyway. The little side prop field where Rinaldi and gang do a couple of features was cool. It was more interactive during the commercials. When they were live on air most people were just watching on the big screens they have setup. I'm a little surprised they aren't using the castle for the set for the space.

I imagine if they did it on the castle stage you wouldn’t be able to see the castle up close, which is probably the only reason they are doing this.
