I know that AJC reporters are slanted toward the SEC, but are you kidding? Four teams in the top 10? Are you forgetting the fact that UGA was thoroughly beaten and only took the lead from a team that lost to a Div 1-AA school with :45 to go? You’re telling me that’s better than losing to the number 4 team in the country (Notre Dame) and coming back from 17 down at the half to a major rival school?

Do you sell what you’re smoking?

I agree that ND might have had a bit of bandwagon coming into the season. But, seriously, UGA can’t be the number 10 team in the country when they almost lost to Colorado.

Yes, I’m a GT fan, but I don’t think they should be in the top 10. Although, if they’re still and one by the time they get through Clemson, you should probably plan on seein GT in Jacksonville drinking Dr. Pepper. Of course, that’s a HUGE if and I’ll be at the third annual Geek Bowl to cheer them on.

Kevin,….part of what makes a team Top 10 worthy, is being able to come from behind, and find a way to win. Almost every team has a “close-call” game, but what matters, is the final score at the end. Now, Georgia was definitely complacent and took the Buffs lightly,but Georgia did what they needed to do…win! Regardless of what your response may be,..regardless of how many “almosts and ifs” you use,…regardless of how much you hate Georgia,…at the end of the day-Georgia is still undefeated and in the Top 10!!….Go Dawgs!!!

Wow Tony, the Dawgs are a mighty 4-0 vs. opposing teams that have gone 6-13 so far this season (this is including their next opponent Ole Miss in the wins/losses). If I went ahead and threw UT, Vandy and Miss State in that mix (the three games they have after Ole Miss) it looks even worse. I have to admit though, with that cupcake schedule - I’d have them number 10 too, heck make it number 1. So far the Dawgs have been tested by a team that lost to a 1-AA school… good luck UGA, you’ll need it.

here are some thoughts: 1) Notre Dame is getting by off of losing to a great team last year (they haven’t beaten a good team for a while) 2) UGA might lose some games this year, but it is silly to criticize them for scheduling Colorado who has a history of solid teams. Are they down this year, sure, but that cupcake theory would work way better if the game had only been scheduled last Monday. 3)GT will not beat a good team this year. The ACC is actually worse than the Big East this year. Good news for Tech is Reggie has finally used up his 4 years.

Do not want to sound overly optimistic, but CU was not a bad ball club. Based upon the following:

A- Difficult offense to learn, CU players are grasping.

B- Good coach-he did wonders @ Boise.

However, we must consider the following:

A- Defense does not adjust quickly enough(AU,WVU- last year); B-How good is the OL-depth, quality, etc.; C-Spurrier/Richt have both stated they were not that impressed with “big arms”. Maybe Stafford will require a longer adjustment period than originally thought. Once he gets the “reads down” and develops the ability to put “touch” on the ball-he will be tremendous.

MR, is a great offensive coordinator/qb coach(track record), but he may have become “seduced” by MS’s arm, and considered the other qualities as secondary.

Not sure how good Georgia is, but the best bet is to follow MR’s lead, he has one heck of a track record. Never bet against a winner.

Personally, more concerned about the OL, than anything else!!!!

For starters I am a UGA fan and yes, maybe we are a little over rated at the moment. But who would do you suggest putting ahead of us? No one has looked very good early in the season. The teams that should be ahead of Georgia are. If we lose, we will drop. All this ridiculous posturing every time someone comes on and tries to bash the dawgs is ridiculous. I don’t know any UGA fans that believe we should be a contender for the national championship. However, if things start to click, there is a chance we can compete for the conference.

And for all this crap about scheduling nobodies, all I have to say is everyone does it. Why don’t you ask Tech about Troy and Samford?

Fact is most teams play crappy teams every year. The only difference is that most teams don’t have to go out of conference to play them. SEC teams schedule their easy games outside the conference because all of the games in conference are so tough.

And by the way. Colorado was a pretty tough team when we put them on the schedule. They went to the Big 12 championship almost every year. And i think they’ve just finally started putting things together and will begin playing much better. Hawkins is going to do a good job with them.

The state of Georgia and their fans. First off, didn’t you learn last year what WVU can do against the best the SEC has to offer let alone others in the SEC?

The fact you have Florida and Michigan ranked ahead of us is a joke. 11 straight wins and 5 straight games scoring on our first possession.

It’s fair to say WVU has the best offense in the country led by the best player Steve Slaton. You seen what we and Slaton can do when the lights go on.. all the still no respect.

Barnhardt is a joke! or stupid or forgetful.

When the Dawgs put the buffs on the schedule they did know that the buffs were about to be put on probation and lose scholorships. We will see how good the Dawgs are when the Mighty Vols come to Athens and beat the Dawgs down. I see the Dawgs losing to The Vols, the Tigers, and the Gators and the Tech game is a toss up, if Reggie Ball and Chan get lost on the way to the stadium and someone from the stands comes in to play QB the Bees will certainly destroy the Dawgs but as is toss up. Tony, you are such a homer. Go Vols!!

First off Spanky, if coming from behind is a quality to judge a ranked team, ND came from 17 back to better competition than UGA. I’m not hating on UGA. I think you guys are probable the 2nd best team on schedule this year, maybe 3rd behind ND and VT. I think you’re a legitimate perennial top 15 team. But, I don’t think you are in the top 10. Of course I don’t think there should be any polls before October anyway.

Now, for all this schedule jaw jacking, all of you (Tech and UGA) are wasting your breath (and fingers). We both schedule lightweights as everyone else does. However, for the past couple of years, GT has had a tougher out of conference schedule, which is partly due to UGA being ranked so high. In fact, before the season started, ESPN reported GT as having the nations #2 toughest schedule, even with the light weights.

To my fellow Techies, following on Big B, Colorado is a very respectable scheduled game. BUT, a top 10 team should have beaten a team that lost to a div 1-AA by about 45, not at :45. In fact, I will bet money ND would have won that game by 40.

UGA is the most overrated team in the country. They showed it in the Sugar Bowl last year to. As a West Virginia fan I expected a tough game but it ended up being 28-0 before the coin toss hit the ground.

I am so sick of the West Virginia crap!! Yes they beat UGA in the Sugar Bowl….by a mere 3 points. You act like West Virginia thoroughly dominated Georgia. After the Dawgs finally woke from their slumber in the second quarter they outscored the Mountaineers 35-10 the rest of the way. So shut up with your West Virginia crap!! If they played a half way decent schedule, (that is more than one decent opponent) then maybe they would be respected as a contender.

I think folks are afraid to rank them any higher because then they would be giving them a trip to the NC game just for beating Louisville.

I watched some of West Virginia against E. Carolina and I was less than impressed. If they played an SEC schedule, they would have at least 2 losses and that is being conservative.

Georgia does not deserve the top ten until they have beaten a quality proven opponent. That is not to say that South Carolina and Colorado may prove to be much better teams by the end of the season. But we will have to wait until the Tennessee game before placing an accurate ranking on Georgia.

Mr. Sugar Bowl Champs (aka probably another Tech Fan) - I guess LSU, Tennessee, Georgia Tech & South Carolina are all Cream Puffs. After WVU built their mighty 28-0 lead, they were outscored 35-10 the rest of the way. Hardly a dominant performance. Dawgs simply got caught napping expecting West Virginia to be a bunch of cream puffs. If they had played 9 more times the Dawgs would have won all 9.

Even if UGA goes 13-0 the best they’ll likely do is 4th in the final poll. They’ll be behind USC, Ohio State/Michigan winner, and W.Va./Louisville winner. There’s no need in worrying about polls. Just win as many games as you can and forget about it.

Additionally saying Georgia could beat WVU 9 out of 10 times is hilarious. WVU would score enough in two of the ten games to beat you the other 7 times. And that’s a fact. I wish we did play an SEC schedule. Look what we did to their champ last year when we were freshmen. Now were sophomores and much, much better.

Well I guess everyone is jumping off the UGA bandwagon after our terrible game saturday. If you people knew anything about sports you would realize that almost every year about the 3rd or 4th week of college football is usually called upset saturday. Look arount the nation all the top teams struggled to win , but they won, you see real winners might struggle early , but usually find a way to win the game, like UGA, VT, FLA, USC, ND, OSU, WV, Michigan, Louisville all of whom had subpar games against much lessor competition on saturday. As far as Matt Stafford goes , I guess he could throw the ball and then run out and try to help the reciever catch it, or run along side the running back and block for him or help him hang on to the ball, he is only one man, maybe he needs to take a little zip off the ball or maybe the recievers need to learn how to catch it,you know, they are playing at the collegiate level. I think Joe C came in and did an outstanding job, he was as cool as a seasoned vet would have been, but I dont think it’s time to send Stafford to the bench b/c of 1 game , especially when it wasn’t really all his fault. The bottom line is we weren’t ready to play, on offense, defense, special teams or coaching, so we need to lighten up a little on Stafford, he’s gonna be just fine.

I had tickets in the Colorado section (upper level). The fans around me were classy and their team played good enough to beat a top 10 team. Coaching and play calls were not bad. Many of their fans were fatalistic all through the game, but with their record so far, who could blame them. They will turn their program around —- it’s just a matter of when. UGA was sloppy against Colorado and LSU deserves to be ranked ahead of us.

I wanted to see Stafford cut loose and it didn’t happen. I wanted to see the running backs bust a long one and it didn’t happen. I wanted to see the defense return a couple for scores and it didn’t happen. We won, and for the second day in a row I can barely talk.

After being away from Athens for 10 years, I barely recognized UGA (and I didn’t stay around long enough to get a good view of the campus). My son stood next to Hairy Dawg and my daughter got her picture with some cheerleaders. Both kids rang the chapel bell. We spent a small fortune on UGA clothing.

So what if the game was close — I apologize for nothing. I’ll remember it as a great game and a win. Go Dawgs.

For all you WVU fans. You guys were sweating as much as the players on the field until that fake punt sealed the deal. You know it, I know and the American people know it. Well fought game you beat us by a field goal and 3 yards. Good win for you. You have a tremendously talented backfield that ANY TEAM in the country would wish for. Slaton, if he stays healthy will win the Heisman trophy one day, if not this year,no doubt.

For you ND fans. Don’t talk about coming back from 17 points. You beat a team that for the last two years has gone 1-10 in October and November and has gone 5-6 each of the past two seassons. Yep that sounds like a tough team to me. Sounds more like a Kentucky, South Carolina or Vanderbuilt of the Big Ten to me. I was suprised that you guys didn’t get voted #1 after that game Saturday.

lbsmash31 - read the fine print… I called Sugar Bowl Champs the Tech Fan. I am sorry I didn’t realize that Slaton and White or whatever their names were second or third string. Thank you for correcting me. If Georgia had taken you guys seriously it would have been a much different result. Any way they didn’t so congratulations you guys won the game. But 3 points an a$$ whipping does not make. If WV had dominated so much then why were they so afraid to punt the ball back to the Dawgs at the end of the game. The fake punt was the only way they could win because I guess their 5th string defense wasn’t going to stop the Dawgs offense.

Man I wish that all the Dawgs had to do is beat Louisville to go to the National Championship game. Instead the Dawgs will have to go through Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, Tech and LSU (or Auburn again) to have any hope. I think that if they ran the table against that slate that they would have no problem jumping over the Louisville/West Virginia winner. I do not expect them to go unbeaten against that schedule, but if they do who cares if they don’t get to play in the BS national championship game.

With the exception of going to Jacksonville, the Dawgs are rarely beaten when they leave the state of Georgia these days. Mark Richt is something like 20-2 in opposing teams stadiums including the following:

3-0 in Columbia (South Carolina) 3-0 in Knoxville (Tennessee) 1-1 in Auburn 1-0 in Tuscaloosa (Alabama) 1-0 in Fayetteville (Arkansas) 0-1 in Baton Rouge (LSU) 1-0 in Clemson 3-0 at Tech 3-0 in Nashville (Vandy) 2-0 in Lexington (Kentucky) 1-0 in Starkeville (MSU) 1-0 in Oxford (Ole Miss)

You have to be pretty special to beat a Mark Richt coached Bulldog team on your home field. LSU in 2003 17-10 winners over Georgia in Baton Rouge go on to win BCS National Championship. Auburn in 2004 24-6 winners over Georgia in Auburn go on to complete 13-0 season as arguably the best team in the country.

If all Georgia had to do was beat Louisville to go to the National Championship… guess what.

They’d be playing in the Peach Bowl come bowl time. Georgia couldn’t beat Louisville if their life depended on it.

PS.. I wasn’t referring to GT fans. The GT fans I’ve met down here are smart, funny, educated and don’t live in trailers, have auto insurance, can say the word important… (it’s not imported)

The only reason that WVU gets any respect is because of their measely three-point victory over an unmotivated UGA in the Sugar Bowl. Without that win do you really think that WVU is in the top ten right now? Do you really think that anyone would be talking about their football team other than being a potential fly-in-the-ointment?

To all who will be griping when Georgia beats Louisville in whatever years they have scheduled them. Please remember that Georgia added them to the schedule during a time when everyone thought Louisville was the best thing since sliced bread!

Instead of obsessing about the Bulldawgs, it seems to me like Tech fans should be more worried about the upcoming opponent that dropped 51 points on them last year. But of course that would force them to have to deal with reality.

As for the WVU fans, the reason we can’t take you seriously is that too many of you keep talking about how you “dominated” UGA in the Sugar Bowl. Last time I checked it was a three-point win in a game where BOTH teams gave up more than 500 yards of offense. A great win in a great game - but hardly the total domination that your deluded minds remember. National respect for WVU will come as your team continues to earn it on the field - one great season with a big bowl win is not enough. If they continue to take care of business they’ll get their chance to prove themselves again.

Hey WVU Fanatic….Last time I checked the only times that the Dawgs have been soundly beaten (i.e. by more than 7 points) during the Mark Richt Era would be as follows: 2001 - 24-10 against Florida. 2003 SEC Championship Game against LSU 34-13. 2004 24-6 against Auburn. Just 3 times in 69 games. The Dawgs are 56-13 (55-9 away from Alltel Stadium) during the Mark Richt Era.

I know you Vol fans and Gator fans love to live in the past but give me a freakin break. When is the last time you made any noise in college football? I know gaytors you beat Georgia but it got you nowhere so shut up and watch another sec team win the east. Leak can jump up and down all he wants but he is such a puss and will choke in the big games (Tennesse does not count, they are a joke).

True that the Poodles and the Irish are overrated this year but the main difference between the two are that the Poodles don’t have near the heart that the Irish have. If they were down by 17 they would just roll over and start licking their balls! Very few teams could have come back from that deficeit and there is no way Georgia would have beaten Mich. State last Sat nite. Any of the top 5 teams would have had a tough time. We’ll wait and see how the season pans out for both teams but I’d be willing to bet that you’ll se the Irish in a BCS game and the Poodles in the Toliet Bowl!

Its always amusing to see Techies running their mouths. The difference between UGA and Tech is this. UGA was able to come back and win even when they played poorly. Tech would have quit at halftime of that game just like they did against Va Tech and Utah last year. UGA has three QB’s on their team better than Reggie and it will show at the end of the year. You would hope Tech fans would be more concerned about reboudning from their embarrassment last year and trying to beat Va Tech.

Georgia would have never allowed 37 points to a slow Big Ten Team like Mich. State… Plus you obviously know nothing about college football. The Dawgs fought back from thirteen down on Saturday, nearly overcame a 28 point deficit in the Sugar Bowl last year. They have two of the greatest comebacks in bowl history. I guess Notre Dame showed their big hearts two weeks ago against the Big Blue. Hey, next time Notre Dame wants to come south maybe they should play the real team from Georgia.

Well…

As an Irish fan (even through the dark and cold of Bob Davies. It always makes me nervous whenever he does commentating for an Irish game.), I’m very glad we got out of September 3-1.

Exposed.

I like that term. Exposed. With both positive and negative connotations.

Exposed on defense and special teams? Yup. Exposed for not playing all sixty minutes of the game? Yup.

Exposed for never slowing up?

In the Michigan State game, yup.

In the Georgia Tech game, yup.

The term “Fighting Irish” is not simply a cute moniker. The press is not impressed by the “comeback win” against Michigan State, as they love to show how Michigan State self-destructs almost every year. The Irish fight to win, and fight against negative press every year. Basically, Weiss and company have two opponents to beat, and impress.

Exposed for having the ability to turn Chicken Salad fron chicken feces?

Absolutely.

Let’s talk about impressing as well. If you check out stats on espn.com for Heisman frontrunners, Troy Smith still leads the pack. I’m trying to figure all of this out. If memory serves, he has a higher completion percentage than Quinn, and a lower INT total for the season. In total passing yards, Quinn has surpassed him by at least 150+ total yards. Quinn also has 3 more TD passes. I guess when you falter to Michigan, the Heisman people just even things out, huh?

Screw it. Give it to Slayton, as far as I’m concerned.

Jsonic, was that actually giving Notre Dame some respect? Or just another chance to slam UGA? :)

Hey, UGA. I have massive amounts of respect for your program, your players, and your coaching staff. That being said, Stafford may be a true freshman, but “Babyface” Cox came in and basically saved your butts just as the tomb was about to be sealed. I don’t see that as a win, so much as 80,000 between the hedges breathing a huge sigh of relief. I would be very cautious about pointing fingers at Tech’s program until y’all make some adjustments as well. (Hint: Your starting QB should have six letters total in his name.)

Insomuch as a BCS berth for the Irish?

We’ll run ours until November when the true test of USC at Trojan Stadium appears.

National champions? Probably not this year.

Please understand, these are players Weiss inherited from Willingham. It won’t truly be Charlie’s team until 2-3 years from now.

But, we do have a Clausen…

And, maybe, just maybe…

We’ll have a King as well.

God bless and keep Irish football.

*I went to school in Morgantown and have never seen anything like the rednecks, backward, slow, uneducated stuck in the 50’s people like I see everyday in Georgia.

Let me let you in on a secret. If you think people around the country have bad things to say about West Virginia, you should hear what people have to say about Georgia. And you LOST TO WVU. So I guess that makes you worse.

Bottom line, don’t attack the fine state of West Virginia. You need to take a look around your backward state and try to help some of these people out. Come on, be a man step up…. oh and make sure you vote for Sonny. lol He’s a fine representative of your none the less interesting state. By the way, did that moron get his education in Georgia? If so that explains it.*

I think it’s time that you got off your High Horse there….if you think that this state is so backward then why the f$ck do you live here? If Morgantown is such a great place to live then pack up your f$ucking Sh$t and move back there. What’s so great about Morgantown? Do they allow sheep f$cking in public? Is that why you think it’s great? Athens is 100 times the college town that Morgantown is and that will NEVER change.

If you’re going to insult my school, at least get your facts right, jack a*…That would 92,000+. Not 80,000 people in the stands. And since Tech hasn’t beat us in 5 years, that’s 1,2,3,4…5 YEARS! I can point all of the fingers that want. And you sir can go and choke on a dick.

Actually Athens is a pretty solid college town. A town I’m sure someone who refers to sheep having sex has never been to. And, that’s the problem. Most parts of Georgia are surrounded by poverty, classless residents who have never been outside of their area. I’ll add certain parts of Atlanta are ok. However as a whole Georiga is embarassing and the state leaders should be ashamed.

Additionally I live here because of my career.

All that and it still doesn’t change. WVU smoked your butt last year and still hasn’t lost. By year end you Georgia fans will be sitting in your pathetic little trailer with your sister/mother having a cold beer as you call it down here watching WVU win the BCS.

My!

I go from absolutely no rebuttals on this copendium of knowledge and information to charming epithets as to how I should force my alimentary canals into spasm on the male reproductive organ!

Charming.

You simply must forgive my grievous error “Eat it”…I had went on assumption that only 80,000 had made it in. I know Athens is a massive tailgating town, and I wasn’t certain as to how many lay in waste passed out versus the ones coherent enough to go and sober up at the Taco Stand prior to kickoff. My faux pas.

Insomuch as insults, I didn’t figure my comments were slanderous towards your progam in the slightest. Seeing as how you are such a master statistician, could you regurgitate Stafford’s stats on that game against Cox’s for me? I would hate to display my ignorance once more.

I am well versed, sir, in the amount of times Tech has failed to beat UGA. I do not, for one minute, believe that this will be the year that things change. UGA’s program has a wealth of talented depth on the sidelines as opposed to Tech’s reliance on a frequently aggravating QB and a breakout wide reciever. My point, enlightened one, is that besides the close call UGA had this past Saturday by no means clears the waters for the remainder of the schedule. I refuse to drop upcoming team’s names, as it will be retorted with the overwhelming macaw-like answer of “WE’LL BEAT ‘M!”, or something else of that ilk.

Consider me the blind soothsayer.

I won’t say it will happen, but beware the upcoming schedule Dawgs.

If you need it explained in better terms, I can make an allusion to a movie and slightly change the title, if I may be so bold:

“Any Given Saturday”

And yes, football fans, know-it-alls, wise guys, and illiterates, I can also point back to the solid pounding Michigan bestowed to Notre Dame in South Bend.

Beware boastfulness. It can manifest itself in shame come Sunday morning.

Mr. Hick from the Sticks,

I have throughly enjoyed reading your response to Eat It’s post, clearly such an uncuth animal won’t be able to decipher your retort. Perhaps another version is in order, once that only uses words with no more than 2 syllables. I have spend many a fall and winter residing in South Bend myself. I do believe that with Touch Down Jesus on our side it is but a matter of time before we return to the likes of our glorious and storied past.

 I hope that Coach Weis is able to turn the fortunes of this season around and use the emotions of such a monumental come back win from this past Satruday and rally the team to 8 straight victories. From there I would delight in nothing more than our Fighting Irish to meet with none other the West Virginia Mountainers in an BCS match-up. We all know that with God on our side there is no possible scenario that exists in which the team from Morgantown would even stand a chance to become the victor.

God bless and keep Irish football.

I am a big Georgia fan. But offensively the Dawgs don’t look to good right now. I liked what Richt was doing in the third quarter of the Ole Miss game, running the football. It is the smart thing to do when you have a freshman quarterback and a great runningback tandem. If the Dawgs play good defense, are able to control the clock with running game, and who ever is playing quarterback will be able to make clutch throws. The Dawgs will win.
