Can KY beat UT? Absolutely, especially if TN plays like they did against Vandy. Truth be told, TN beat the snot our of UGA earlier. Anoter truth is that UGA isn’t nearly the same team today. UGA would win by two touchdowns if they played again, but that’s water under the bridge. UT has a habit of playing their best when it matters most, while stinking up the joint when it’s just another game. Giving up 59 points to FL, getting pile drived b Bama and losing bad to Cal does not make for good expectations. UT is clearly the 4th best team in the SEC, but the record is what it is. Against ARK, TN could put 9 in the box and not worry about the pass. KY has a much more balance offense and that is where TN has the biggest problems. When they can’t defend JUST the pass or JUST the run, UT falls apart like a cheap model airplane. But just because I want KY to win so badly, TN will probably pull a performance like they did against UGA. Gawd, I hate Tennessee……much worse than I do FL and equally as much as Tech.

The 22 loss streak to tN ends this weekend. You can count all the stats and history, all of which has no bearing on this game. KY is a good football team that ran into the hottest team in the SEC and maybe the nation last week. UGA’s defense is HUGE, despite their fans insistance to the opposite. TN is a very average football team that is squeaking by the likes of SC and Vandy. Get ready for the Vowels crying in the streets. I love it when Neyland is quiet as a church after a game. Their fans look like their IQ when their mouths drop open and expose all 4 teeth.

I hope the Cats will play 60 minutes of well executed ball. If they do - they win. But if the Vols win they deserve the trip to Atlanta. We (Dawgs) had our chances and blew it against SC and Tenn.

Dave, that is the most ridiculous thing I have heard. There is only one way to determine who is the better team and that is to actually play each other. We did and UT pounded GA. Why would you now say that GA would win a rematch? I heard the same garbage after TN won last year in Athens. You got your rematch and we won again. Sorry, but that’s the way it is. If UT beats KY this week they deserve to go play LSU. If they don’t then GA deserves to go. Please don’t just be another delusional fan.

AtlantaVol, I’m not denying that you won by a large margin back then. On that day, you were the better team and UGA never showed up. But UGA is a different team now. The media aknowledges it, the polls acknowledge it and especially FL and Bamma aknowledges it. By your logic, you would still pick Stanford over SoCal, Colorado over Oklahoma and every other instance where a top 10 team lost to an unranked tean. You were better then….but you’re not better now. UGA played one bad game, against TN. No one denys that. But TN has been flat blown out in it’s 3 x losses and two of them, UGA beat. South Carolina drug UT up and down the field in the second half. Does 503 yeards of offense for South Carolina sound about right? A brain cramp in the OT cost them the game. UGA killed itself in the early part of the season. Now, we’re killing the opposition. You’ll probably beat KY and then get slaughtered by LSU in the title game. UGA will head to the Sugar Bowl and UT will once again land in the Chic-fil-a Bowl or any other bowl that will take a 4 x loss team. You know why? UGA is a much better team than TN at this point in the season…and everyone knows it.

To all you Bama fans out there. I know how you must feel. Its tough to take a loss like that. I remember when we lost to….wait a minute…we’ve never lost to a team like that, ever. I mean we’ve lost to Vandy, we’ve lost to Tech, but never to a Sun Belt Conference team. That’s horrible. That’s pathetic. That’s embarrassing.

You paid 4 million for 6-6? Now that’s funny, I don’t care who you are.

You can’t buy your way out of mediocrity Bama.

Saban also lost to UAB at home while at LSU. His winning percentage is less than Ray Goff’s. Look it up. Good investment Bama.

Ut is actually better today than they were when they gave up 1 TD against UGA (one other at garbage time)Also, do you rget that UT drug SC up and down the field in the first half of that game. True SC came back and ran all over TN. but then again UGA could NOT, I repeat UGA COULD NOT come back on UT like SC did.Also UT has lost last to Bama several games ago. UGA lost several games ago to UT. I think its fair to say that both UT and UGA have improved.I would not bet the house on LSU if they do in fact play TN in the SECCG.

I get a kick out the SEC and teams like UT. Everyone in the world knows that in college football, ANY team can win on ANY day. I bet if UT was to play Bama again and at UT, they would win. I think I remember that UT was hurting for a win to keep their coach when UG came to town and they played like they had never played before this year or have since. I would probably “bet the house” that UG could beat UT if they played again even at UT. They are playing the better football right now.

Looking forward to the Clemson game this weekend…hopefully we can make Spurrier throw his visor around (something I believe UG had a hard time doing) after they can’t stop Spiller and Davis.

Its not my fault that you paid 35 million dollars for a coach whose winning percentage is less that Ray Goff’s so don’t get mad at me.

BTW: if 70 wins in 7 years is mediocre then I’m loving it.

The last time you came to Athens it was 31-0 at half. Do you think Saban will be able to improve on that? I bet you paid 35 million just so it would be 21-0.

Dave, that logic won’t fly. All I heard from my Dawg friends after last year’s UT win was that it was a fluke. Now all I’m hearing after you have beaten FL & Auburn is that it was a fluke again. The polls and your opinion are only subjective. The only objective way to determine the better team is on the field and UT beat the Dawgs badly. You might have a point if we won by a field goal with a minute to go but there was no doubt who was the better team that day. And there are no do-overs. UT fans would love to play FL and Cal again now that we have won 7 of our last 8 and improved since those games. AND it would be nice to get an obviously injured Tebow.

Correction Gen Neyland. Dawgs will tie UT for first in SEC East(unless UT loses this weekend) but will lose head to head tiebreaker to determine who advances to ATL. For all the vitrol I am certain that every team in the country, save for KS & Hawaii, can look back and play the what if regarding particular games during the season. That’s what makes college football so great. Every game is a playoff game and you better come prepared to play whether it’s USC, UF, LSU, OSU or ND, Duke, App State,& UL-Monroe. You look at the world through orange colored glasses. I through Red colored. Hard to imagine as a Dawg fan, and doubt any true Dawg fan would believe that UGA would beat Bama, UF and Aub in the same year and sit here having to pull for KY to decide who goes to ATL. (I did predict at the first of the year that KY would come into play deciding who would, but never would have envisioned this scenario). Good luck at KY, but don’t beleive just because UT has beaten KY 22 straight years that your gonna go up there and roll your helmet on the field and get a W. If you are honest you would rewind to last year and know that UT was extremely fortunate to escape the Cats at home!

I enjoy GA fans having to depend, cheer, and hope for another team to beat TN since their team could not. That is what it boils down to. If GA could have beaten SC or TN, they would not be in this position. And if TN could have beaten FL or Bama, they would not be in this position.

If memory serves correct, it took GA a final FG to beat Vandy this season (which afterwards they celebrated on the logo like the won the NC) so I think TN’s game against Vandy is not too bad then. Like GA, a win is a win.

By Stats Nerd (but not a Bug)

Winning % of “elite” SEC coaches:

Urban Meyer: UF, .811, Overall .821

Mark Richt: Georgia/overall .787

Phillip Fulmer: Tenn./overall .767

Steve Spurrier: UF, SC .771, ovl .745

Les Miles: LSU, .865, overall .698

Nick Saban: UA, LSU, .720, ovrll .672

Tommy Tuberville: AU, .772, ovl .660

Some of these coaches have yet to coach 100 games (Meyer, Richt, Miles) so it’s hard to evaluate them against coaches who have had a lot more time to either win or lose, but this gives an interesting insight into who has actually done what in the SEC without regard to reputation or hype.

Looking at these numbers, it can be argued that Spurrier and Fulmer have had very similar careers and are coaching equals (.771, .767 winning percentages, respectively), despite a disparity in reputation and hype. That’s if you assume that Spurrier’s well of talent at Florida (exceptional) and S.C. (good), combined, roughly equal Fulmer’s talent at Tennessee (usually very good, some years exceptional).

You can also argue that Tuberville has had a superior career to Nick Saban at this point once you compare their records at like programs (Saban at LSU and UA, TT at AU), despite what seems to be a difference in their reputations (largely media created). Although Richt (13-1 in ‘02), Saban (13-1 in ‘03), Spurrier (12-1 in ‘96) and Meyer (13-1 in ‘06) have come close, only Tuberville (13-0 in ‘04) and Fulmer (13-0 in ‘97) can claim a perfect season as an SEC coach (Meyer ran the table with Utah in ‘04 playing a MWC schedule).

It could also be argued that the great situation Les Miles stepped into was created largely by Saban’s success at LSU. The problem with that analysis is that history is full of coaches stepping into great situations and quickly running a great program into the ground and, if anything, LSU has become consistently better under Miles.

Meyer and Miles have great SEC records and Meyer has a great record of winning wherever he coaches, but neither has much time in the conference so the jury is still out.

Richt is now in his 7th year in the conference (and as a head coach) and seems to be on a similar track as Fulmer and Spurrier, i.e. a coach who is building a consistent winner that contends for conference titles and BCS bowl berths on a regular basis. While Georgia is a traditional conference (and, in certain eras, national) power, the Bulldogs had gone 19 years without a conference title when Richt was hired in ‘01, with several losing seasons in the interim.

What the numbers reveal to me is that there is surprising parity among the elite conference coaches and teams, despite a huge disparity in media coverage, reputation and hype. Some coaches seem to be a lot more interesting and “quotable” than others and thus better able to generate excitement around their programs.

Stat Nerd, Your surmise is on point and reflects the importance of Richt’s maturation (and relegation of O play calling) as a Head Coach. He has begun to get the big picture that it is the slight edges (have fun, black jerseys, Soulja Boy, etc.) that make the difference in W’s and L’s. For all the negative of the UT game the silver lining was that Richt realized what was and is truly important and that is bring back the enthusiasm and fun into what the team does. Every team in the SEC has the talent on any given day to beat another team in this conference. It is the small details or edges that now seperate the teams. Earlier this year one of the networks showed a great example of what 4.3 and 4.4 speed means (seperation) in a 30+ yard downfield pass play and the same could be said for the coaches who tap into the mental edges due to the parity of talent. Richt’s new found personality and leadership has definitely caught the eye of several top tier recruits as well ( and even swaying some who have previously commited to another program- watch for Harmon). Again proof of the little edges and what they can mean.

I’m as big a UGA fan as anyone on here and have no use for the Vols, but all of this talk about LSU rolling over Tennessee in the SECC game is getting kinda old. I’ve always liked LSU (they beat the Gators back when we couldn’t) when they weren’t playing the Dawgs, but they are over-hyped to an annoying degree this year. They’re one play (Auburn) and two inches (4th down play against Florida) from being 8-3 and headed to the Outback Bowl , yet they are regarded as the second coming of the ‘95 Nebraska Cornhuskers. Didn’t they lose to Kentucky not too long ago?

Granted, Tennessee tends to lay an egg outside of Neyland Stadium, but if they get to the title game and play LSU like they did Georgia and Arkansas, they’ll probably win the game or at least make it go down to the wire. The Georgia Dome would be more of a home game for UT than LSU.

What does it say about Georgia when many of its own fans don’t think the team that beat us by three touchdowns in October has even a CHANCE against another conference opponent? With that kind of thinking, Georgia might as well not show up if it gets a chance to play LSU. I don’t buy it. If I’m betting, I’ll take the East team and the points against LSU.

Thanks quaildawg. I agree about Richt’s maturation as a head coach. Turning over the play calling duties is starting to pay dividends for him. He’s now the head coach of the entire team, rather than just the offensive coordinator with the HC title.

Interesting that Steve Spurrier said he was going to pay attention to what the SC defense was doing this week after some recent meltdowns. Spurrier is not known for paying too much attention to that side of the ball. Maybe being the Head Coach / Play Caller has finally caught up to him as well.

Let’s see how much Richt’s maturation appeals to you when Florida returns the favor next year for the classless stunt. Give some credit to the players for the Florida win. I can’t figure Richt out…one week he is p** they are dancing on the field and the next week he promotes it.

Different, and does not matter the opponent (LSU or App State or UL-Monroe) You better come prepared, protect the ball and play with some emotion. I, naturally, disagree that Richt’s “stunt” was “classless”. He never meant for the celebration to be directed AT the Gators (though a player or two did and got penalized as they should) he wanted the team to celebrate as a unit, period. I would suggest you reflect upon Richt’s own words regarding the two events (Vandy and FL) instead of making a drive-by judgement without fully understanding the situations and their differences. (I’m sure this is a futile request as I don’t fully expect to change your biased opinion on the matter) Yeah I expect UF to come loaded for bear and who knows which players will be available, etc. We shall see. Ah but that is next year.

Tyler, give me a break. We beat you handily this year and last. We have the better team. Period. I know you guys are happy that you have beaten FL & Auburn in the same season since what, 1982 or 1984? Congrats, but first that is pitiful that these teams have dominated you like that. Secondly, the local media and some delusional fans are hyping you up way too much. I know how this all goes because I went to GA. I’ve been watching it EVERY year since Herschel left. Get with me next week and we will see where it stands. But you’re giving yourself way too much credit to say we are afraid to play you.

Tyler, read Barnhart’s article “it’s about the championships, Stupid”. Surely, you don’t want to back into a BCS game instead of being in the SEC Championship game. Good luck against the Hawaii/Boise State winner. It can be Richt calling for a “black out” vs. Boise State calling for a “blue out”.

MtnDawg, the recent past is actually 2 butt whippings in a row and 3 of the last 4.

AtlantaVol, Tennessee hasn’t been to a BCS bowl in 6 years. You would sell your banjo to have Tennessee “back into” to a BCS bowl. Good luck in the Outback bowl. God knows you’ll need it. Tennessee routinely embarasses itself and the SEC in bowl games.

I love it when all you Jawja Inbred-Rednecks have to pull for Kentucky just so the Doggies can play in the SEC game. Newsflash…UT handed UGA its butt on a platter back in October…in much the same fashion they will hand the Mildcats thier’s on Saturday. Here is something else you inbred Jawja fans need to consider. UT wins the SEC and goes to the Sugar Bowl. LSU gets the At-Large BCS bid and the UGA Pups end up in Atlanta on Dec. 30 having a wonderful Chicken-Fil-A time!! LMAO!!

When UT get’s their tooth kicked in this Saturday. We will all celebrate down at the Krispy Kreme in honor of Ole Phat Phil. The most under-achieving coaching staff in the SEC. They have all that money and all those top notch facilities and national recruiting we keep hearing about, and can’t win shi*. Phat Phil is mediocre at best Cutcliff saved his job last year however, Ainge has peaked at second rate. UT fans leave during the second quarter if they are getting beat , Ive seen it for years. A bunch of wannabe’s

TN will beat UK Saturday. Kentucky lost to USC, UGA and Miss.St. and guess what? UT beat each of those teams. UT holds a huge mental advantage over UK and Fulmer know what Joker Phillips and Randy Sanders will try on offense before they know it. Jawga fans are dreaming, hoping and praying, break out the voodoo all you want dawggies, it won’t work. UGA shoulda wore the black jerseys in Knoxville, that way the tire marks wouldn’t have been so noticable! Vols 35 UGAg 14, HAAAAAA!!

Dawg fans, deep breath!!! Repeat, we could score a TD against Steve Superior! Not! Feel better, now say we trailed Vols 28 to NOTHING -NOTHING-NOTHING! Now you can go back to talking about LSU , while ignoring the Trade School. A loss to Tech would send you to __Bowl! La-Monroe would be good pick! They beat Bamer, which Vols that slayed you couldn’t beat. GET REAL!!!

3volpaul and other Vol Fans on this blog,

Me thinks you had better worry about Ole Kentucky rather than insulting Georgia because Kentucky will be out for you. Now as for us and GT the team is only focused on Tech right now because they realize that is the only thing that they control.

BTW if Tennessee takes care of business against Kentucky and goes to the SEC CG then I believe they will give LSU all that they can handle as I believe the East is stronger than the West. But as a Dawg fan I won’t be pulling for you in either game but I will be pulling for you in your bowl game.

Go Dawgs

Lot of crap flying around up there. The fact of the matter is you only get one shot at your eastern division opponents. We blew it against UT and SC. Didn’t get off the bus in Knoxville. Didn’t game plan worth a damn against SC. If UT beats KY then more power to you guys you earned it. If KY beats you then we earned our trip to the dome. Here’s to the second happening. As for a re-match? This is the SEC baby anything can happen and this dog wouldn’t bet money on it either way. That’s just the facts and life in the SEC.

DB Cooper, Cutcliff saved Phat Phil’s job last year? Beg your pardon he might have helped but look no closer than the Bulldog’s for saving his job. Two years running now. They are the biggest wins in UT history this millenium. That’s what they have to be “proud” about. That’s their program now. So while that 35-14 hurt put us up to #6/#7 in the country they get to be an underdog to KY this weekend.

IF UT gets to the SECCG then they will give LSU all they can handle. That would be a given. IF firing on all cylinders UT might even roll LSU. Lot of talent at UT right now as it should be. 22 year win streak though and the Cats not being your typical Cats will be a tough game.

gdawginkalamazoo, GA is TN’s 2 biggest wins this millenium? While I know some GA fans have an inflated ego, I would not kid yourself. Are these big wins, yes. But the biggest, I would beg to differ. I would say Michigan (01), Miami (03), Texas A&M (04), Cal (06), FL (04), FL (01) would all stand out more than beating GA. Cut has helped Fulmer tremendously….just look at our offense compared to where it was under Randy Sanders.
Yes, you have one less loss than us so you are expected to be ranked higher so not sure what your point is. I love some of the justification from Dawg fans about TN from Fulmer is lucky, Ainge is not that good, to GA would beat TN this year if they played them again. Like my coach used to say, execuses are like blank, everyone has them and they stink. Bragging rights against another team comes down to head to head matchups.

Georgia fans are the best. My two favorite phrases from a UGA fan: #1 We are going to win it all this year. #2 Wait until next year.

I just can’t wait until next year when UT extends their streak to 3 years in a row. I wonder if we will put 50 on UGA in Athens next year. Oh thats right UGA fans, I forgot about #2 “Wait until next year”.
