Looking at the BCS standings, Virginia Tech and LSU are extremely close to the Dawgs, and they both play in conference title games. Unfortunately, even if WVU and Mizz lose on Saturday, I think either LSU or VT would pass the idle Dawgs with a victory…Let’s hope for the Rose Bowl and for our 2009 schedule to somehow get a LOT easier!

You meant Ohio State would play the Big Twelve champion in the Big One under your first scenario. LSU could pass Georgia if the Tigers demolish UT in the SEC championship game. Otherwise, the situation is still highly unpredictable.

I don’t think UGA would play for the National Championship under any circumstances. I would think that if a two loss team went, it would be one that won its conference and they would jump UGA in the polls(LSU, USC or OU).

Grant, UGA’s schedule this year wasn’t exactly bruising. UGA played three teams ranked in this week’s AP Poll. Somehow I’m sure that proves how tough the SEC is though.

Unbelieavable, Expect the Rose to cut a deal for USC-Ohio State. Give credit to the SEC, ACC and Big 12 for playing championship games while the Big 11 and PAC 10 save themselves for a clear path to the NC. Ohio State has already won the state of Ohio championship, might as well squeeze them into the big picture. Give Richt credit for finding a way for his team not to play uptight. Games like last night would have been a nailbiter to the end otherwise.

There’s a lot of “ifs and buts” in all of these scenarios. However, it seems to be a stretch to think that LSU, in the current BCS poll, would jump from 7th past the Dawgs. In that manner of thinking, several teams could jump UGA and Ohio St. because they’re finished. I don’t believe in that. It’s like the old way of thinking, a starter can’t lose his job because he gets hurt. UGA will do just fine in this bowl season. And there are a lot of folks out there that know that Ga. has a strong traveling contingent. So be it Pasadena, Tempe, or Miami, OR, (I almost forgot) New Orleans, the Red and Black will show up. Go Dawgs !!!!

All the scenarios are great for Dawg fans…I don’t expect WV to lose to 4-7 Pitt, so GA probably won’t see New Orleans in January 2008. The most natural match-up would be SEC vs. ACC in Miami, which would be fun. Short of going to the NC, a great game would be Georgia against OK in the Fiesta. Still, it would be great to see the Dawgs in the Rose Bowl, since it’s been more than 60 years since we last appeared there.

To all Tech fans. You must have the most pathetic fan base and pathetic stadium I have ever seen. It has been a few years since I was last at your high school stadium for a game. I can’t believe how little yellow I saw at the game yesterday. The game was a good one but was so boring because the Tech fans are so quiet. Is it always like that? How does it feel to know you will never have a program like UGA?

While it is nice to speculate on the possibility of meeting Ohio State in New Orleans for that beautiful Crystal Football, I think that anywhere the Dawgs end up is just as sweet. 6 games ago all of us were staring in disbelief at the dismantling of our team by Tennessee, and just wondering if the Dawgs would even win 6 or 7 games — to come from that and be 10-2 and even have a sniff of the NC game is an amazing accomplishment

My hat is off to Mark Richt, mike Bobo, and Willie martinez for a great job. When I think of what this team has done and everyone we have coming back - THE SKY IS THE LIMIT NEXT YEAR.

I would not be shocked to see the Dawgs sitting at pre-season #1.

I would love to see Georgia play USC in the Rose Bowl. Both teams are hot right now and it would be a great game. I don’t want to see Georgia go to the Orange Bowl and play Virginia Tech again. Didn’t Georgia play them in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl last year ? I’m a little sick of seeing Georgia play ACC teams in bowl games, so it would be a nice change for Georgia to play USC.

Steve,

How is your Georiga State degree?

Secondly, if all you worry about in life is a college football program, then your fat a* self of yours has a serious problem that needs to get checked.

I don’t mind Tech losing to Georgia..at all. Our institution is not based on having a great “footbawl” program. Yes, we have good teams, but will probably never be great.. Oh well, we won a national title in ‘90…When was UGA’s last national title run?

Please do not try to bark at our stadium now. Bobby Dodd stadium is rich in tradition, and my grandfather was an All-American for the national title team back in the day.. Don’t you sit back behind your keyboard make those asinine comments. You’re a dolt….

It doesn’t matter what LSU does next week. If the SEC champion is not in the BCS championship game, they have to go to the Sugar Bowl. Pittsburg as no chance against WV. If Mizzou wins in the Big 12, it will be them and WV. OSU goes to the Rose. If Mizzou loses, then we have a shot at the Rose because OSU goes to the BCS Championship. So, we will probably play BC in the Orange or Oklahoma in the Fiesta.

The Rose Bowl is a dream come true; the granddaddy of all Bowls! If we get picked for it we will have to bring our A++ game and play 250%. Three and outs and 6 punts like we played against tech will result in a worse whipping than UT gave us, and the whole world will see it. Matt Stafford has to be on target to open the running lanes for Brown and Moreno. The defense can not play soft or USC will pick them apart. This USC team is not the want-to-be football team coached by the Ol Ballcoach up the road, but a team will put up a lot of points and run us out of town on a rail in a heartbeat. Dawg nation do you think we are man enough to hang with these guys?

Doug, guess you shouldn’t have lost three games… soon to be four. Can’t see TN going to the BCS with four loses when a very hot UGA team (would you seriously want to play us this weekend?) will have 2 and be ranked #4 in the polls. TN goes to the Outback, maybe, on a good day. Citrus takes the Gators who killed TN. Maybe Peach for the Vols otherwise.

Would love to see the Dawgs in the Rose Bowl play USC. Maybe we can make up for the smack-down that California put on the Vols this year and avenge the SEC out west.

Actually “Tony, did you take a hard hit this week”, the BCS takes in an entire win-loss record… not just the division win-loss… so being the SEC Winner with three losses wouldn’t move them above a 2 loss Georgia. You’re a chump for even thinking it.

I forgot to mention that Illinois has to be ranked at least 12th to be considered for the BCS, so it is very unlikely that they can go to the Rose. Also, as a Dawg fan, I want to congratulate UT and their fans. Ya’ll could have folded the tent after the Cal, UF and Alabama games but didn’t. You run the table and fought hard to pull out some great wins. Good luck next week against LSU. What division or conference was tougher top tp bottom than the SEC East this year?

What I find wrong with some of the above comments is, if OU beats Mizz, then NO team above Georgia would have won a conference in the sense of a conference championship game, ie, The SEC game, The ACC game, The Big 12 game…no one. Not WV, not Ohio St., so what’s so difficult to believe that UGA could go to the NC game. They tied for a conference div. championship…so what.?? It’s ALWAYS been when you lose that either helps you or screws you at the end of the year. In the age of mega bucks $$$$$ in the NCAA and $$$$ that colleges want, I can’t imagine why ALL conferences don’t create a conference championship game..which, by the way, may ease some of the complaining about the BCS process. BCS ain’t going away. So have the NCAA adjust their way of thinking to aleviate the doubt.

After nearly 50 years of following SEC football, I can say with confidence that year in and year out Georgia fans are the most self-delusional. Yes, the team is playing better overall than earlier in the season, but are any of you actually paying attention to these games? At least your coach can see reality. Richt admitted on his show today that Georgia was very lucky to beat a [mediocre] GaTech team. What if those plays in the endzone had gone the other way, as they often would given the luck factor in football? What if Vandy had not fumbled inside their ten late in the game? Georgia is no better than at least 2 dozen teams out there on any given Saturday. Oh, and I can already hear the howling predictions of next year’s national championship coming to Athens, along with a Heisman for Stafford (I would rather have at least 4 other qb’s in the SEC this year). Get real. Georgia will not win even the SEC east next year. Florida will.

By Average Joe

Georgia would never play in the title game—a two-loss team that didn’t even make it’s conference championship game, let alone win it’s conference? Oklahoma would jump Ga. if they beat the #1 team in the country—again. LSU would probably jump Ga. if they batter Tennessee.

Is West Virginia really going to lose to Pittsburgh, though? I don’t think so.

Although a West Virginia-Missouri title game doesn’t sound sexy, I like the fact that there is some new blood at the top. They’re as deserving as anyone else, if they both win out.

One last thing: Carter Strickland wrote that Ga. wouldn’t go to the Orange Bowl because “odds are” Va. Tech would be the opponent. Really? “Odds are,” huh? You mean, you lose to the team you’re playing again and “odds are” you’ll beat them the second time around? Interesting logic. What if BC wins the ACC, does Ga. go to the Orange, then? Would we hear the incessant drone of SEC superiority with a BC-Ga. matchup? You do remember what happened the last time the two teams met, don’t you? That would actually be a pretty good matchup, even if I can understand the emotional reaction to having the opportunity to play in the Rose Bowl.

Hey, how’d the ACC do this past weekend against the SEC?

Keep dreaming U(sic)GA! VT will beat BC and that means the orange will not want a rematch of last year. The other bowls have other regional picks. In terms of a second sec team for the BCS, the gators will go because Tebow (Heisman) will sell tickets. He’s so much more skilled and energetic than poor little stafford.
I laugh at you U(sic)GA fans because you are so proud. You say other teams have all the luck…wake up po folks! Have you even watched a game or have you just been too drunk? One U(sic)GA fan hoped that next season would bring an easier schedule. Fat chance as this year the sec was a crap conference. This was your easy year. No chance that U(sic)GA holds onto 4th in the BCS after next weekend. They probably end up in the Outback or Chick-Fil-A bowl.
I also laugh at U(sic)GA fans because every year you are going to the title game!!! I laugh at the “chance” you have this year. The scenario goes like this, “we win and everyone else loses.” Maybe if we dream or drink hard enough we can find a way for Harvard or Vandy to make it to the title game.
Thanks for the laughs. P.S. You should hope your “miracle” of getting to a BCS game doesn’t happen or you will be crying when the pups are slaughtered. Every other team hasn’t had the U(sic)GA luck and those teams are for real. Actually I would love to see Hawaii trample U(sic)GA in a BCS game.

It almost certainly does not matter if even OU, LSU, Va. Tech (or BC) and USC pass us as far as bowl consideration goes. First, if OU passes us, Mizzou will fall back. Plus, none of these winners would be at large teams. USC goes to the Rose, OU goes to the Fiesta, Va.Tech or BC goes to the Orange and LSU would go to the Sugar. That still leaves a vacancy in the Rose if OU beats Mizzou. It still leaves at large teams for the Fiesta, Orange and Sugar. Hawaii is definitely in if they win next week since they are in the Top Twelve. The only at large team that would be close to UGA in the final pole would be Kansas. So we are in…just where is the question.

Did anyone else at the Georgia vs. Georgia Tech game last night notice those horrid interludes between plays, led by “Hometeam” Brandon Leak?

The gimmicks reminded me of the promotional anticks of an Atlanta Knights home game, or perhaps a minor league baseball game in some podunk town.

What’s next? Karaoke contests? Dodgeball? Fans wrestling wearing pneumatic sumo wrestler suits? Frisbee dogs? Maybe some dancers can walk over from the Cheetah and serve as cheerleaders?

Mind you, I am a Georgia fan, but I do respect Georgia Tech, if for no other reason than the fact that I live in Atlanta. But this is disrespectful to Georgia Tech AND Atlanta.

Is what they must resort to in order to fill the stands? It’s shameful, to say the least. I also have to believe that Georgia Tech alums are beside themselves.

If Georgia Tech decides to fire Chan Gailey, they also need to nuke Jennifer Pierce, the wunderkid who cooked this nonsense up. There is no doubt in my mind she hasn’t a clue about NCAA football. Alienating your core fan base violates the basic principals of Marketing 101.

I hope the Georgia Tech program recovers, to at least make this annual game against Georgia an interesting match, and to give them a fighting chance. But I certainly will not visit their junior high school stadium again if we are to be entertained by pizza giveaways every time Tech fails to convert of third down.

Guess this was the only way to keep the insect faithful from running for the North Avenue MARTA station.

I am a Tech fan, but the ACC’s record against the SEC wasn’t 4-2. We lost to the pups and FSU lost to UF yesterday. VaTech lost to LSU and UNC lost USC. Wake and Clemson both won, FSU beat Bama. That’s 4-4. If I’m forgetting a game, someone correct me. However, .500 against the 3rd best conference (behind, to hear their fans say it) the NFC and the AFC ain’t too bad particularly when it’s the sorry old ACC.

Congratulations Dawgs on closing out in great fashion and pinning #7 on the hated Jackets. Coach Richt and his assistants deserve a lot of credit for salvaging the season after the terrible half at UT. You deserve all the credit and GREAT JOB!

Honest respect to all the Jackets who played their hearts out last night with the exception of the couple of players trying to cause injuries at the end. Your fans should be proud of your effort but don’t seem to support you.

Ga Tech, whatever your problems may be financially or with other support, PLEASE change all the nerdy promotions you do during timeouts. You probably have to do it to fill the seats for your other games, but you do not need to do it for the Georgia game. It hurts your concentration and your momentum. Those things are a little more appropriate at pro games, but never at college games. Spend the timeouts getting your team psyched or playing your band, etc. GEORGIA ARE YOU LISTENING AS WELL, because at crucial times in Sanford, we honor someone or acknowledge things that should be done pre-game or only at half-time. Thank God we don’t do the kinds of things I witnessed yesterday at Grant Field, but we could do less as well.

Where we go bowling will be interesting, but I think we will travel well. I hope we get the best opponent to get that exposure. This team doesn’t want to duck anyone.

Hopefully the SEC will represent itself well. I am not whining because we had our chance and blew it. UT and LSU deserve to play for the championship. However, in my opinion only, the current two best teams in the SEC are Georgia and Florida.

Dawgs are playing well now and if the selective memory switch would eliminate the SC game, losing to the Sec Champs wouldn’t be so bad! Just enjoy it, and no, you’re not going to the Rose Bowl. Barnhardt thought Tenn would lose to Ky like a 1000 others (me included). Rose Bowl, whew!

Georgia will finish ranked in the top 4, Tennessee will be lucky to finish ranked 25th.

Any of the BCS bowls sound great! After the UT game, I thought the season was going to be a complete disaster.

I do believe that you should have to win your conference to play for the NC (unless you are in one of the conferences where you can tie for CC).

USC in the Rose Bowl would a tough test.

All Georgia fans should be lobbying or pursuading coaches and contributors to lobby for the Rose Bowl. I am a 1977 grad of UGA and my family lived in Southern California for three years. Two of the three years we attended the Rose Bowl Parade. It is an amazing spectacle!!!! The atmosphere is nonpareil. The years that we attended were years when Michigan played Washington, and then Wisconsin played USC. I sat in the stands wistfully thinking just how awesome it would be to see the Redcoat Band marching down Colorado Avenue. Fans are encouraged to assist in working on the floats which is amazing. There are so many different things to see and do - the beaches, the mountains, or the desert - all within less than two hours from Pasadena. I can guarantee that no other bowl comes close to the festivities of the Rose Bowl.

The really negative comments about GT are not classy. It makes Georgia stronger when Tech is strong. I miss the good old days when the game really meant something, and the two teams matched closer. It is pathetic that Tech alumni do not support their school better. If they are as wealthy as they all claim to be, it would seem their money could at least put Tech fans in the stadium. I respect Georgia Tech, but their fans are the absolute worst in the nation; I do not think Georgia fans are as loyal and classy as they should be either.

Tony, I can see a way for UGA to end up in the Sugar Bowl. If WVA and Mizz both lose Saturday, Ohio State moves to #1 and if (sadly) we get passed over for #2, a strong SEC Championship Game by LSU “may” jump them up to #2. This probably has about as much chance of happening as us playing in the NC game, but if it did the Sugar would very likely get us. Of course, the Rose would get first dibs since Ohio State would be #1 and the Rose would get first choice to replace them.

As I see it right now, we could go ANYWHERE BCS, or worst case Cap One if the sky fell. Best Bet from me: Orange Bowl. If Mizz loses, and the Rose passes on us to take Illinois, then that’s their mistake. It’s not like there preserving the Big Ten - Pac 10 matchup between conference champs - so if they were smart they would match us up with USC just to take this rare opportunity to do something different. We’ll see.

People saying UGA can’t go to the NC because they didn’t win their conference have a short memory. Nebraska did the same thing in 2001. Oklahoma lost the Big 12 championship in 2003 and still went to the NC.

It IS possible that UGA could still go to the NC game. Conference championships are not a prerequisite. It doesn’t necessarily make sense, but that’s how college football is set up.

A voter would have to have a real short memory to rank LSU ahead of Georgia after the Tiger lost a. to Kentucky, and b. to an unranked team on their home field in the final regular season game of the year.

As for Virginia Tech ahead of Georgia— did anyone see them blow the BC game just a few weeks ago— on their home field?
And, other than those two, the ACC was just plain mediocre this year.

I think technically UGA could still end up in the Sugar, if WVU and Missouri lose and LSU wins the SEC and voters decide that an 11-2 LSU team that lost both its games in OT is more deserving than the 10-2 Dawgs. Then, the Sugar would be able to pick UGA. Not my preference but it could happen (more likely than the Fiesta, in my opinion).

Go Dawgs!!! Some folks have bashed me for my inability to criticize our staff and for criticiizing those that - IMO - are too quick to judge and bad mouth our team and coaching staff in bad times. I said after the UT debacle that it was a tough time and nobody was taking it harder than the guys that go through two a days and a coaching staff that works day and night and sacrifices time with their families to get our team to perform at the highest level each week. They’re human and mistakes happen. It’s the reason why we get thumped by UT and UT gets thumped by bama and bama loses to ULM. Get over it, realize the coaches and players are just as upset as you are and keep supporting your team. Great to see how the team has grown and gotten better as the season has progressed.

As far as the bowls go, VT and BC are great teams but having played them in recent history, the games don’t excite me. I’d like to see us play in the rose against USC. Anyone who’s afraid of that needs to go root for someone else because these junkyard dawgs fear no one. NC is not realistic because WVU is a great team with a sorry schedule and will get there. I think the BCS needs to allow more teams from one cofrence into the BCS games. Right now only 2 SEC schools are eligible. UF (as much as I hate em) deserves a spot. Tebow (and his crocs) deserve the heisman. Someone tell me if this is possible: LSU or VT jumps over UGA in the BCS so UGA is #5. I know the top 4 are automatic BCS bids, so if we’re #5 could a bowl pick UF over UGA? I know I said they were deserving… just not THAT deserving! Any ways, GO DAWGS, SIC EM!!!! (Also, UK, valiant effort. I felt worse about them not breaking their own streak against UT than them helping us out. I know they could give a ratts azz.)

After letting Kentucky take you to 4 O.T.s, I hardly think you are a better team than UGA.

Right now Illinois is #15 in the BCS so they CANNOT be selected (have to be in top 14)

If Ohio st. goes to NC then that means Georgia will be #3 and NO WAY will the ROSE pass on a #3 UGA team with their first pick!

I really don’t see what the fuss is about Georgia not being able to go to the Rose Bowl. first, the Rose Bowl has first choice in the pecking order of the At-Large teams if OSU goes to the BCS title game. WV of course won’t lose to Pitt at home. So Georgia right now is the top At-Large team in that order and the Rose Bowl picks first.

It doesn’t matter if LSU, Oklahoma or VT wins there conference championship games because they have automatic bids to the BCS anyway. We are talking about the best At-Large teams in the pool. Remember everyone, the BCS has to pick a maximum of 4 At-Large teams outside of the conference champions. Those teams would be Georgia, Kansas, Hawaii, and Mizzou if they lose to OK. Georgia goes first and the Rose Bowl is not going to pass up the opportunity to match USC vs. UGA. Two of the hottest teams in college football right now.

Right now it’s good that Georgia is not playing because they can’t fall. You don’t penalize a team for not playing when the season is over because they can’t play there way back up. they fall only if the committee feels they can win there way back up in the rankings.

Ohio State gets of easy with no conference championship game. If one team has to play that extra game then they all should. LSU has 2 losses, the same as UGA, they were both in 3OT and they should be ahead of UGA and should pass them even with a one point win over Tenn as should Tenn pass them with a win as well. No way should team that didnt even win its conference even be considered for the championship game. BTW, i graduated from UGA.

You should be happy to get whatever bowl you get, I’ve never seen a team rise so much in the standing without having beat anyone….that’s right anyone.
