In the rush of last week I neglected to send out the Mumme Poll, so here’s the end of season, Championship Week edition, for your voting enjoyment.
For this week’s bonus question, take a guess at which newly appointed SEC head coach will be the first to leave their program. I’ve got money riding on Golding, who many are claiming to be the “OIe Miss Kirby Smart”. I guess they didn’t notice the drop off in production when Kirby left and Golding inherited the defense, did they?
The shellacking in Sanford really left an impression on y’all, with Georgia rising to the top of the heap and Texas taking the biggest fall.
Dropping Out: Louisville (22), Michigan (19), South Florida (15)
Regarding the bonus question for this week, your responses are as follows:
Play in SECCG, Lose and Host a First Round – 3%
Play in SECCG, Win, and Get a First Round Bye – 44%
Skip the SECCG Win, and Get a Bye for SECCG and a Bye as a Top 4 CFP Team – 55%
Leave your comments for this scenario in the Roundtable posted earlier!
I can hear Edith saying it over and over again as Manning was coming under pressure all Saturday night. Anyway, here’s this week’s Mumme Poll, for your voting pleasure.
Couldn’t even get a full 25 this week, granted, it was a short turnaround (sorry guys).
As far as the bonus question went, the vast majority of voters saw Georgia running the table the rest of the season:
Georgia’s Record for the Remainder of the Season:
3-0: 85%
2-1 – 15%
1-2 and 0-3: 0%
Kirby’s on the mother, as we like to say around here, at least in the minds of many of our voters.
Sorry, scamps, been a busy week in the McDonough household.
First, here’s a great Victory Highlight…my favorite is around the 3:40 mark. Run through a wall if you have one nearby.
Also, here’s your Week 11 Mumme Poll for your voting pleasure…
Apologies again for missing this last week, but here’s the Week 10 results:
How’d we compare to the first CFP rankings?
The top four are pretty close, except for our skepticism around TAMU’s ability to finish out, as we placed them fifth. We gave Oregon a home field advantage while moving the Red Raiders into the 9th spot, and it looks like we have more love for our ACC brethren by including Tech and Virginia in the top 12. We ranked Texas and Oklahoma as definite first two out, though Virginia would be on the outside looking in since the #1 seems to be the cut for the highest ranked Group of 5 team coming in, which we gave to Memphis at #16.
We matched on Tennessee, maybe only because we want our win over the Vowels to remain relevant in the long run.
As for your choices on who was most likely to get snubbed, we laughingly picked Auburn as the most likely at 25% of the vote, because, after all, they are hypothetically better than most of the field, except for the refs.
Your other top snubs were:
Guess I should’ve added Oklahoma into the voting, since they are likely one of the first two out along with Utah (you all only saw them as a 5.6% chance to be deemed a “snub”).
Let’s see how the rest of the season plays out….lots of football left.
Hand to God, I totally forgot about posting the result of Week 9 last week. Apologies for that, though most of you saw Alabama and A&M as the eventual SECCG matchup, so there’s that.
This week’s bonus question is trying to think about which fan base will be crying the hardest on Tuesday night when the first CFP 12 are announced.
Vote today! MASH HERE
Go Dawgs!
You can’t have slow starts if you’re not playing, I guess, so nothing to be infuriated about here this morning except maybe to see Alabama squeak out another one against Cackalacky and for Texas to pull out a come-from-behind miracle in Starkvegas (note: Texas now has two overtime wins against SEC teams who have one combined conference win).
Hopefully everyone’s blood pressure recovered this week with the bye week.
Vote today (or tomorrow): MASH HERE
Polls close Monday at midnight.
Screw you, Carson Beck! I keed, I keed…but seriously, screw you, Mario Cristobal!
Dropping from the poll: UNLV (23), Texas (23), Utah (21), USC (18), Memphis (15)
Let’s just say no one here was impressed with a double overtime victory in Lexington, Texass. Lincoln Riley keeps doing Lincoln Riley things, and Memphis saw the glass slipper fall off at the hands of an interim head coach (Chris Mortenson’s son) and a fiesty UAB team. Utah lost the holy war, and Dopey Dan finally tasted defeat in Las Vegas. Sad.
Imagine if you could take Iowa’s defense and merge it with an offense with a pulse? Could Ferentz come to Athens and help us make a super team? Tulane is getting hot just as rumors and wishes are circulating for Sumrall to come to the Plains or possibly Hogtown.
How LSU hangs on here, that’s beyond me. Anyway, looks like they’re ready to get back on track with a drone show in Baton Rouge:
Maybe Kelly can land in Chapel Hill next year with a fresh start and a new accent?
It could happen, per our poll, the majority (70+%) of you seeing Freeze as the next to get the axe, followed in a close 2nd and 3rd by Stoops and Kelly.
People are getting the axe, which means it’s Jimmy Sexton season for renegotiating contracts. Georgia popped back into the Top 5 in the national polls, but let’s see where our resident Refugees place them in this week’s Mumme Poll.
But first, here’s this. People wonder what the two of them were discussing after the game.
Kiffin was probably asking him about how to supermax his contract in Oxford to stay out of Hogtown, if you ask me.
Also, did you know that Hal Mumme is still coaching?
Looks like he should be on a painting in a chapel somwhere.
Voting ends tomorrow at noon.
