The Haters Were Wrong (Again) About College GameDay's Venue Choice | OutKick
The haters are in shambles right now. It's no secret that I've had my fair share of disagreements with College GameDay lately, but this time, they've proven themselves right once more. This Saturday's game between Georgia and Ole Miss is a prime example of why the show's venue choices are often spot-on.
As two top-10 teams, Georgia and Ole Miss delivered an exceptional performance, and you can bet the haters are fuming. I previously discussed the nationwide backlash when ESPN chose an SEC venue over other options (https://www.outkick.com/sports/college-gameday-going-back-sec-again-folks-fuming). But this game has certainly lived up to the hype.
The first half was an offensive extravaganza, with no punts from either team. However, not everyone is impressed, as some are calling for the defensive coordinators' heads.
This game showcased the talent of two renowned coaches in college football: Lane Kiffin and Kirby Smart. They chose to focus on their teams' performance rather than engaging in verbal spats, and the result has been a thrilling spectacle for viewers.
Despite rumors about Kiffin's future in Oxford, he led his team into a challenging environment, and the Rebels rose to the occasion. If they maintain this level of play, Kiffin might not need to leave Mississippi anytime soon.
While Georgia may not be at their peak, they remain a strong top-10 team. An Ole Miss victory on the road against this squad could propel them towards SEC dominance and a potential deep playoff run. Regardless of Kiffin's future, the haters' criticism of the venue choice this weekend has once again proven to be misguided.
