The American League is who you be pulling for in the World Series then. The White Sox and Cleveland Guardians series has two of the lowest payrolls in baseball and the American League favorite to go to the World Series, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, is 26th out of 30 teams in payroll. This just goes to show that good front office management and an eye for talent can trump money.

With the Braves eliminated, I'm gonna root for the Rays since the local Durham Bulls are their triple A affiliate.

Not as many as you'd think. Mayybe ODU at App St, but looks like the worse would be after the game is over. Everything else looks more nuisance impact than anything.
 
GT wins with a last minute comeback TD and a missed short Duke FG attempt that would have tied it! The tornado in GA/SC almost outlasted this game! It lasted at least as long as it.

On to GA/AL next!

The most overrated #1 team in college football history has fallen.

All indicators including my GT buddy who doesn’t root for UGA, say that UGA is by a good margin the best in the country. He thinks AL is also highly overrated and that the bettors giving AL a 2 point advantage are clueless.

Never underestimate Kirby's ability to overthink it when it's Bama in the regular season and lead to having the players be tight.

I've seen enough Alabama games this year to say this game is probably over because Georgia didn't take advantage of the opportunities given. Keelon is going to be hot in the second half probably and my trust in Gunner is shaky if it's a shootout.

Dang that was a, "I'm disrupting the reciever and taking the PI penalty to save a TD" play from the get go and didn't even get flagged in the end. Haha.

Controversial non-pass interference call helps No. 2 Georgia to 20-17 win over No. 6 Alabama

The Bulldogs will be the No. 1 team in the country on Sunday.

I wanted UGA to win, but it’s obvious to just about anyone who’s objective that that was one of the worst, if not THE worst, non-call of DPI in a crucial point late in a big college football game in recent memory!

Now what I’m wondering is whether or not AL will use that as extra motivation to do extra well the rest of the season. Also, should they meet up in the SEC Championship, will UGA be vulnerable to refs subtly evening it up with a bad call against them instead of in favor of them?

Cry more, Go Dawgs! And Tyler Simmons wasn’t offsides. That was the worst non call ever.

Yep, they all tend to about even out in the long run, regardless, as UGA has of course also been the victim of bad calls at turning points in the past like about all college teams.
 
NoSnowATL said:
Yea we don’t talk about all the holding call that never got called. Nice to see Georgia catch a break in Tucy for once. Go Dawgs!

Bah, every team benefits from non-holding calls, however not calling that right there is really, really bad right there in the open.

Not an excuse for Bama losing, just more of a other really black eye on officiating that has already taking hits this year.

Neither one would surprise me. They can say what they want, but I've clearly seen a bad call at one point in the game be paid back later with an equally bad call in the other direction.
 
I admit, I watch very little football live, mostly just highlights and I would not like to see the game bogged down with "penalty" reviews. That said, one penalty that absolutely needs to be called by the booth after the play is facemasks. The amount of helmets being ripped off by the facemask with zero calls in just the highlights Ive seen are crazy. I'm sure its even much worse with what I've not seen.
