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!

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).

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.

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.)

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.

I read a lot of blogs here and post very little. Every once in awhile I get a little tired of reading certain posts and like to ring in. Most recently, I’ve noticed the Tennessee faithful hanging out here posting scores, sticking their heads out of fat Phil’s a**, living in their own little dream world, etc. Let me post a couple of scores for you, answer a few questions, and bring a little “reality check” to the conversation:

UT 20 UF 59 UGA 14 UT 35 UGA 42 UF 30

Would UGA beat UF today? Probably but not definite (UF, like UGA, is playing as good as anybody these days) Would UT beat UF today? NO WAY! Would UT beat UGA today? NO WAY!

Which is the best team in the SEC right now? The Dawgs! (UF would be a close contender then LSU and Auburn. The only surety is that it’s NOT the Vols.)

Now, the UT fans are riding into the SEC championship with two previous wins that depended on two missed field goals (one that hit the goal post and one that got blocked in OT) against two of the “lesser thans” of the SEC.

Finally, they’re in the SECCG, should be happy, and yet somehow the Vols faithful continue to come in here posting the UT/UGA score. I was going to ask someone to wake them up but I get the feeling LSU will do that this weekend.

Vol fans: Maybe the fact that you know the truth today is what drives you to come in here and post today. Either way, you’re more than welcome for us defeating UF (something you couldn’t do). Great job of backing in. Now, in return, please give us the honor of hanging around here for another couple of years.

As far as UGA and the bowl game…the Rose doesn’t want an SEC team…period! We all know why. UGA will be in the Fiesta vs Oklahoma.

Mudpie…I hear ya man…But the ENVY of so many people on this blog is a joke!!!!

Let me put an end to it!!!!

If WVU and MIZZOU lose…UGA WILL play Ohio St. for the NC!!!!

If only Mizzou loses….UGA WILL be #3 and be the ROSE BOWL’S first pick and play USC

If Mizzou and WVU play in the NCG…UGA will play in the ORANGE or FIESTA

You CAN play in the NCG w/o winning your confrence..OKLAHOMA did that in 2003

Florida CANNOT make it to a BCS bowl b/c the SEC can only have 2 teams..The SEC champ is one and UGA who is 8 spots higher, beat Fla, and has one less loss will be the SEC AT-LARGE

All of you JEALOUS haters need to get a life and go to your own team’s blogs to talk about your seasons and your bowl prospects! TEND to your own knitting!!!

Besides if any of you haters and naysayers are true SEC fans you should root for GEORGIA to make and win the NCG or beat USC in the ROSE!!

Great point, Reality Check! The Rose Bowl is not going to put their beloved Pac-10 in a position to lose. They had much rather take a weaker team in order to make USC look good. Heck, the Rose might take Hawaii with their selection just to put a team on the field that USC can beat.

It doesn’t matter what bowl the dawgs go to—-they will beat any team in the country right now. If there was a playoff, UGA could easily beat missouri or west virginia, two overrated teams from weak conferences. The dawgs are the class of the country.

I’m amazed by the Tech losers on this blog putting down the Dawgs. I know you all we’re likely picked on in high school by Dawg fans, but please put the keyboard down and channel your chip-on-the-shoulder angst toward improving your own football fortunes. If you haven’t noticed, your football program is in the crapper. Seriously, it’s a joke of a program and it’s sad to see. It’dd be nice if you could hold up your end of things and not be such an embarrassment to the state. And before you resort to your typical sorry retorts, let me just say that the most powerful people in this state (business and political) are UGA alums. You’re on the outside looking in, but truth be told, we’re not interested in letting you in because most of you lack the social skills that true business and political leaders possess. Anyhow, GO DAWGS!

UGA & Ohio State for the whole en-chee-lada?……sure, why not? As the craziest college FB season ever, why not have an upset of WVA by lowly Pitt be the cherry on the sundae, and the other half of the equation of OU beating Mizzou won’t even be an upset, the smart money boys in Vegas will have the Sooners a slight favorite. Realistically, WVA will stomp Pitt, and UGA will get what they deserve, a BCS bid, doesn’t matter where, #4 in the final BCS standings, and by rule they get a bid at #4. Go Dawgs, what a great year! And yes, the schedule is tough in 2008, but this is a terrific team with a bunch of good young players that will have a great chance to bring a national cham-peen-ship to Athens in ‘08 or ‘09.

Also, the fact Auburn went undefeated in 2004 and didn’t get a shot at the NC is the biggest injustice of the BCS era, hands down. (‘04 Auburn was better than ‘03 LSU and ‘06 Florida.)

Someone was incorrect in an earlier post. The Big 12, SEC, & ACC have a conference championship to determine their champ. The PAC 10 has a round robin where everybody plays everybody. This makes it clear who the champ is based on head to head during the regular season. Sometimes they still have ties, but head to head is the first tiebreaker. The NCAA only allows a conference championship to be held if their are 12 teams in the Conference. The Big Ten doesn’t want anyone else but Notre Dame and that aint happening with that NBC contract all by themself.

Doug,

Do yourself a favor and do not pretend that Tennessee is a better team than Georgia. We both know that they are not. With that said, you guys sure smacked us in the mouth and that loss ended up being the turning around point of our season.

LSU is over-rated. Tennessee will give them hell because they can pass and can run a little. Their D isn’t terrible either. LSU is garbage on offense. If this year has taught us anything its that.

Oh and Dawg fans… If tennesee wins our strength of schedule component goes up and that would help us a little. No way lsu jumps from 7th to ahead of UGA regardless of what happens.

I’m really tired of hearing how good LSU is. The media has declared it so, despite their play on the field. They’ve barely won a number of games, sneaking by UF and Aub. I’d love to be playing them right now so that one of the hottest teams in the country, UGA, could demonstrate why the SEC is tougher and better than most conferences. At some point this year, 5 of 6 SEC East teams were in the top 15. That’s good.

At one time the ACC had 7 teams in the top 20, the SEC had 5 or 6. I dont think any team should be allowed to be in the BCS bowl games unless they make it to their Championship game. If they dont have a Championship game like some do, then they should win their division. For that reason, I dont see why all the talk about UGA. They could not get to their Championship game. Yes, they had a good season, no..I dont think their a top 10 team…Maybe 11 to 15. You have to win your conference or make it to your Championship game. I also feel as if the rankings should not change regardless of the outcome of your Championship game. The rankings should end on 11/25 of each year. IF we want to find out who the best is…Have a playoff system, till then, it is just the same as always. Neverless, good job at UGA and your coaching staff this year, you do deserve a good bowl. For us at tech, we want a coach who can put excitment back into what we once had in our football program. Good luck UGA fans for your team.

NIETHER LSU nor VATECH can jump the DAWGS NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS

Vatech is .47 points behind Georgia and Two Spots Lsu is .64 points behind Georgia and 3 spots!!

If MIZZOU loses Georgia will be #3 and VaTech would have to climb over Kansas, Mizzou, and Georgia…Lsu would have to jump all of those PLUS Vatech….NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!

If UGA wants to be a lock for the ROSE BOWL we would need TENN to win the SECCG because that would keep ILLINOIS out of BCS Contention b/c they would be outside the top 15!

I’m a lifelong Dawg, but Georgia has no right to play in a national championship if it doesn’t win its conference. I’m sick of teams that lose their conference playing in the NC. That said, if LSU beats Tenn. (and I don’t think they will) they should move ahead of Georgia in the polls and be the team selected for the title game, if such a position becomes open. Why does anyone think Georgia moves ahead of Oklahoma, a two loss team, if it wins its conference? A great bowl game should be a reward, but a national championship just wasn’t meant to be for Georgia this year.

NO one is “scared of Tennessee.” Good grief! Reading all of these vols fans blogging on here one would think that they lost to UK! Why the sour grapes? Is UGA really that much in their collective heads? Apparently so. I suppose it’s that highest-in-the-SEC ranking that’s the bee in their bonnets. Why don’t the vols fans blog onto the Knoxville paper and crow and thump their chests as they should. After all, your team is playing in Atlanta. Did they win pretty? Heck not even close: I was in the Knoxville area visiting in-laws this weekend and their talk shows said as much. Be happy and enjoy the ride dudes. Nobody thought you’d be where you are now after the pasting by ‘Bama. No one thought UGA would rebound like they have after the Knoxville fiasco. Actually had the Dawgs just taken care of business against a vastly inferior South Carolina team, they’d be in the SECC game so that one actually stings a bit more to me. The UT game? The Dawgs appeared to be sleep-walking (at least a dozen Vols fans have made that comment to me—who went to the game). At least they used it for motivation. If the Dawgs were a bad team, they’d just have tanked after a loss like that. They didn’t.

As for the “suck, huh?” comment above: no neighbor, be assured that being ranked number 4 in the nation does NOT suck. The Dawgs are sitting pretty. After the UT loss, UGA beat FLA, AU, and Tech. Those are our historical rivals. No raining on that parade!

If I were a Vols fan, I believe I’d worry more about LSU than UGA. After all, the Big Orange is a 7.5 point underdog. Will their good luck continue?

How does it feel to have the self-proclaimed better team sitting at home watching your rival playing for YOUR self-proclaimed championship. If you team was so talented, wouldn’t they have beaten UT? I never claim Tennessee is any better than an average team this year, but that average team beat UGA…and is ahead of UGA in the standings so it is what it is. You should thank UT for hurting Thomas Brown so the the coaches were forced to use Knowshon. Otherwise you would have lost at least 2 more games.

NW Ga Dawg,

Just responding to the ridiculous notion that UGA is somehow more deserving of playing for the SEC CG than the vols. TN is an average team….in an even more average SEC division. Everyone forgets that UGA was lucky to beat Vandy…just like TN.

I for one think a TN vs UGA rematch would be close with TN taking a good lead in the first half and then UGA coming back in the second.

atlvol07,

A small minority may infer that UT sucks but I’d say that most UGA fans do not hold that opinion. You on the other hand seem to be inferring that against UGA. UGA is a very good ball team. Not great yet, but getting there. Why don’t you treat yourself to something that will cheer you up? UGA has had a very memorable season in which they beat all their old-time rivals. Is that what ails you; that the Dawg’s still a great year even though they lost to UT? Sure it’d have been nice to win in Knoxville, but that’s the way it goes in college football. Bet you wish your guys would’ve beaten ‘Bama and Florida too huh? They didn’t.

BTW, UT didn’t “hurt” Thomas Brown. Thomas had a previous injury that was aggravated in Knoxville. Also UT isn’t “ahead of UGA in the standings.” They are tied (co-Champions); however UT holds the tie-breaker due to their win in October. Even today’s Chattanooga newspaper shows UGA at the top and UT right below them in the SEC standings. And UGA fans don’t have to defend the Dawgs being talented. Do you really think they aren’t? If not, that not-so-talented team has a better record than your Vols and sports a much higher ranking.

Again, try to enjoy the SECCG and pull for your Vols to win over LSU. I’d say that LSU will be a bit tougher than UK was. Oh, wait a minute! UK beat LSU, so I guess that means UT will destroy LSU!

Meanwhile, we Dawg fans are VERY pleased—no matter what any Vols fan wants to throw up.

Go Dawgs!!

Tennessee will lose four straight (at least)or Georgia team (and program) beginning in 2008. UT is not even being considered by ANY of the top players targeted by Georgia! Check Georgia’s roster of top talent that almost totally returns intact for 2008. Only threat to Georgia is Florida!! Fulmer has two years remaining at UT (at the most) before announcing his retirement), and Ainge is gone! Who ‘ya gonna start, Crompton?! LMAO!! UT’s upsets of the year over UGA in 2004 and 2007 will be a distant memory soon enough. Only 2006 was legit.

This will be a tough road for Georgia to get down. The team I worry most about passing Georgia is Virginia Tech. If VT wins, their win plus the tragedy earlier in the year will create a feel good story that the bowls and press may not want to pass on.

Atlvol07,

Just seeing your 9:33 post right after posting. Hey man, I for one do not hold that the Dawgs are more deserving to go to the SECCG. That is ridiculous and I’ll go on record for saying that. We don’t get mulligans in college football. That’s the way it works. Like I’ve said to other Dawg bretheren: when they had a chance, they didn’t knock on SC’s and UT’s doors! I too think if UGA/UT squared off it’d be a close battle. Much more like the games prior to ‘07 and ‘06 (that said, I don’t think a UGA rematch with SC would even be much of a game—that’s what gripes me the most).

Just stating that if I were a Vols fan, I couldn’t care less what UGA thought. You’re there. The Vols are going to have a real task on their hands Sat. Can they do it? Of course they can but will they? I for one also want to see UT win it’s bowl game this year against whomever. ESPN, etc. have been taking our conference to task over the last few seasons due to our losing half the bowls. Tell them to TCB.

As for some of these other Vols fans, they could and should take a page from General Neyland’s playbook. He represents his team very well and is a very regular poster (much more regular than me). He is also highly respected amongst the UGA bloggers—at least the more sensible amongst us.

Go Dawgs!

I cannot believe an idiot Vol fan posted that their loss to Florida was a fluke. Troy put up a bigger fight than UT did against UF! Wait until 2008 when both Florida and Georgia paste the Vollies (no Eric Ainge to bail them out!) If LSU comes to play, ole UT will end up in the Peach Bowl!! Florida is a lock for Citrus or Outback, and Auburn will get the other spot!

Tennessee will lose four straight (at least)to a superior Georgia team (and program) beginning in 2008. UT is not even being considered by ANY of the top players targeted by Georgia! Check Georgia’s roster of top talent that almost totally returns intact for 2008 including yet another Top 5 recruiting class. No more youthful O-line issues either! Only threat to Georgia is Florida!! Fulmer has two years remaining at UT (at the most) before announcing his retirement), and Ainge is gone! Who ‘ya gonna start, Crompton?! LMAO!! UT’s upsets of the year over UGA in 2004 and 2007 will be a distant memory soon enough. Only 2006 was legit.

Chuck UGA,

Fulmer is likely to get a contract extension according to today’s Chattanooga Times so he’ll be around for more than the 2 years. Let’s give him a bit of credit…he seems to get his team up when most count them out. If UT were to “lose 4 in a row” and come into Athens, I for one don’t want to see that. Remember the ‘04 UT game in Athens when the Dawgs had DESTROYED Saban’s LSU the week before? UT was a 15 point ‘dog coming into Sanford. Sure it was a colossal upset and the Dawgs were a botched TD pass as the clock expired—but UT got the win. Of course the Dawgs went on to have another great year, but they flat overlooked the Vols to their own detriment.

Hey Everyone,

I graduated from WVU and now live in ATL, it’s great to see how into people get regarding their college football teams. Couple of things I noticed:

To TECH fans, you have to understand that college football is a way of life for alot of people. Saying it’s just a game only contributes to your ignorance. CF equtes to tradition, family, friends, experience and memories. To all UGA fans, football is really the only thing they have to live for.

To UGA fans, trying to name call TECH fans as nerds also proves your ignorance. Those “nerds” are probably making more money than we’ll ever make, so belittling their social status really doesn’t do any good.

To all UGA and TECH fans, WVU pretty much owned both of your teams. Everyone saying “if WVU looses to Pitt”, are you guys for real? Keep dreaming about your NC bid, that time will never come.

Obviously in your 50 uyears of watching football you should have figured that good bounces happen to good teams… they have always seemed o happen to usc, florida, etc. UGA can play with anyone in the country this year. also, YOU WOULD TAKE 3 OTHER QB’S IN THE SEC? MY GOD WHO? Maybe…. Tebow, but his passing is below par with Stafford. Plus, as of now, Stafford is much more prepared for the pros than Tebow.

People in the SEC should stop complaining about your schedule. Auburn ran the table in 04. It can be done! Florida lost 1 game last year and they were not a gream team! Start winning the games that you play and you will get in the NCG. Don’t lose to UT by 30 points. If you lose big you should not even think about getting a shot a the NCG!

NW GA Dog, I am referring to the next four UGA-UT games. UGA will win the next four or three of the next four at the very least. Richt has a team that resembles those early 1990’s FSU teams. He’ll win the SEC in 2008 and/or 2009. Only thing standing in his way in 2008 is a challenging schedule, but he gets two weeks to prepare for UT! Problem will be LSU and Florida on the road for back-to-back games. Good thing he will field his best team while HC at UGA in 2008.

“Who cares??” That’s a stupid question/statment! This is a UGA blog. Most people who read here support the University of Georgia. Fans from a lot of other schools like to come on here and flame and generally spout off their hatred of UGA. It’s a free country, but to say, “who cares?” So, with that logic (or the lack therof), UGA should just say no thanks to whatever BCS bowl comes calling because they aren’t playing in the SECCG (?). That’s foolish talk and anyone with a pea of intelligence can see that it belies a measure of envy.

There are several ways of considering who is the “best” team: overall record, conference record, poll position, etc. UGA has the same overall record as LSU: the outright winner of the West. UGA has a better overall record than UT and the same record in-conference; however UT happens to have the tie-breaker between the co-Champions, meaning they get to play in the SECCG (congrats to them). Is UGA a better team than UT? Many would say so and it is certainly arguable.

That said, yes it most certainly DOES matter what happens even if a team isn’t playing in the conference title game. Using the logic above, if the eventual SEC Champions don’t play for the National Chammpionship, does it even matter that they won a conference title? “Who cares,” right?

Dear Vol fans

Yes, you beat Georgia in a well played game by the Vols. However, you also had your butts handed to you on a dinner plate 3 times this year. In case that is foreign to you, that’s a 2 touchdown loss to Cal, a 39 point loss to Florida, and a humiliating 24 point loss to Bama.

Oh, by the way, Georgia beat both of the SEC teams that humnbled you and neither game was in Athens. And you have the nerve to chastise Georgia fans? And you have the senior quarterback?

The embarrassment is that a Tennessee team that stumbled home to tie UGA for the SECE lead (and win the tiebreaker) will now play a demorized LSU team that is also stumbling home amid coaching rumors and just may win that one too. Then comes the Sugar Bowl against Hawaii and once again the Vols will make the SEC look overrated with a pitiful performance in your bowl game.

The fact that we’re talking about the THIRD PLACE SEC team playing for a NC tells you everything you need to know about the BCS. The 03’ Oklahoma team didn’t win the big 12 but the Big 12 championship game was their first loss. That left three teams (USC, LSU & OK) with one loss.

Georgia WILL NOT play for a national championship! Georgia DOES NOT PLAY for a NC, this game is reserved for the BIG BOYS. BTW, you don’t want to play USC (you guys can’t even beat the East Coast USC) or Oklahoma. And you definitely don’t want to play West VA…..remember the Sugar Bowl played at the GA Dome?

Actually, Pistol Pete. The halftime score of West Va.-Ga in 2006 Sugar Bowl was 31-21 … and West Va went for broke with a fake punt at the 50 with 2 minutes left in the game.

But you’re right, Georgia couldn’t beat S.C. earlier in the season, but so much has changed since then. You are in a small minority of people who don’t think Georgia would be competitive in a NC game. … And the last time I checked, Georgia is a Big Boy. I think ranked No. 4 constitutes being a “big boy.”

And, sorry, but if Pitt pulls off a miracle and OU handles Missouri, Georgia will be playing for the national title. They didn’t change the system for OU or Nebraska and they’re not going to change it now. I think it’s crappy, but that’s the system we’ve got so we all have to live with it or go watch soccer.

Just the facts … Ohio State vs. SEC in bowl games 0-9 … including two straight losses to South Carolina! Yikes. Those are some scary facts.

nsnstv … please don’t try to hide behind Michigan’s bowl record as proof that the Big 10 is better than the SEC. … And how many Big 10 games were played in snow this year? Oh, wait, none? Huh.

Yeah NSN, let’s see your weak Big 10 come down south and play in 105 degrees-on-the-field, 95% humidity. That would be a treat…yawn.

The national press is reporting that if Missouri and West Virginia both lose and LSU beats Tennessee, the title game would be Ohio State vs LSU. LSU would be the champion of the strongest conference (SEC), and both of their losses were in triple overtime. Also, LSU beat VA Tech by 45 points. There is a prevailing opinion among voters that LSU has the best talent in the nation, and voters have been generous to them. LSU-Ohio State is a game many voters would want to see.

BCS Championship isn’t gonna happen for you, doggies! Enjoy your bowl game where you’ll actually have to play a real team for once, instead of the overrated SEC chumps you faced this year. USC or OU will hang 60 on you, no problem….

Congrats Dawgs!!! We had a GREAT season with a great finish. I’d want to see us in any bowl game,,,,, but not the RB against USC. They are just at another level and we want our bowl/season to end on a High note! Let’s go on and win a big bowl game somewheres. Go UGA ‘08 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mdawg, don’t forget to throw the 2 NC appearences within the last 10 years into your mix. How many for GA? Besides, we’re talking conferences, not specific teams. In addition, I have nothing against the SEC, it’s a good conference, but not superior. If they were, they would be winning NC’s every year. What bugs me though, is the arogance of the GA fans. You’ve done didly squat for 27 years. What are you bragging about…an SEC championship? Who cares outside of the folks who play in the SEC? In fact, there are a lot of fans in the SEC who don’t respect GA. Get a grip.

Well, congrats to UGA on a BCS bowl game, but there are 2 things that UGA fans can’t change about this season no matter what and that is No. 1) They were given their 2nd total beatdown in a row by the VOLS. and No. 2) The VOLS are SEC East Champs and they are not !!! No bowl game or high ranking is going to change either of those things !!! Go Big Orange !!!

Disappointing. I would expect such garbage from a diehard Bulldog Nation fan. But from a sports reporter? UGA in the title game? PLEASE! They didn’t win their conference. They didn’t even win their conference’s eastern division. LSU wins the SEC and has a better record than UGA. AND they beat a team twice that trounced GA. How is UGA ahead of LSU in the BCS. Shame on the voters, and shame on the system. (FYI - I am not an LSU fan.) Ray Rummel Sandy Springs, GA

You Dawgs really want to play USC???Maybe the USC Gamecocks. If that happens, I’m believing the game’s over by halftime. You won’t be playing Tech or Ole Miss or Vandy. This is U. S. C., as in the most talented team this side of New England. The ONLY reason they lost was injuries. They’re gonna be healthy and Pete Carroll will have one whole month to prepare them for Bozo’s gimmicks. All I gotta say Dawgs is, “get ready for the woodshed”!

Thank God everyday that Tebow was hurt. Your team loss to Tennessee who can’t even control Vandy. Congrats on stopping us in our rebuilding year. Maybe in another 20 years you can do it again. I know your proud beating Tech with all that talent they have. I guess that kinda like us owing Florida State. No wait, FSU has as much talent as anybody in the nation THAT IS NOT A BEE.

I am all for Tenn. to win against LSU. Oklahoma winning would be great too. I live in Pittsburgh and NO ONE sees them winning. I would just like to see us move up to number 3 at the end. Then we would be a definate BCS game. Just to throw this out, I hope Kentucky doesnt make any bowls this year. They had the game and lost it 3 times. IDIOTS!

Wow … this board wreaks of jealousy and haters.

UTVol … for the record, UT only won the “right to represent” the East in the SEC title game. UGA and UT are co-champions of the East.

Secondly, people on here squawking about the national media and how LSU would jump over Georgia … LSU will not jump Georgia for ANY scenario. They can’t. Do the math. LSU is already ahead of Georgia in some computer polls so they can’t make up any ground there and they won’t climb four spots. Pollsters may jump one team, but not three. … Besides, most national media I’ve seen think the Dawgs are as good as, if not better than LSU. Too bad LSU won’t get to prove it’s the best team in the conference.

And Ohio State fans … stay in Ohio. When you beat a team from the SEC in the bowl season, then you can poke your little chests out. Until then, pipe down and beat Florida’s reject coach.

I can’t get enuff of UGA fitbah but they aren’t ready or deserving of the NC game this year. Despite what Richt says they were lucky to miss the SEC champ’ship. Now they can sit out the last week and cruise into the BCS like the Big 10/11ers. Which is EXACTLY why Miles is going back to Michigan - its just so much easier to get to the BCS from there. Maximum of 2 tuff games each year.

UGA will be ranked pre-season top 5 next year but have a schedule that includes Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama, LSU and then, if they survive, the SEC West winner. Florida was clearly the best team in the nation last year but were lucky to get into the NC game. UGA probably won’t be that lucky.

Setting it straight: Any way you look at it UGA did not win the SEC East. If they did they would be playing this weekend. Instead they are sitting at home waiting for SoCal to jump them in the BCS even after WV and Mizz lose. Won’t that be great?

LSU is way over rate - should have lost four games. Ten E See will beat them in five overtimes because the refs are on the take and as any recruit will tell you Ten E See pays best! Mizou will beat the Okies by ten and then whip the West Virginie Billie Bobs by 17. Billie Bobs played a weak schedule but they do have a decent offense but pitiful defense - final score: Mizou 55 and Billie Bobs 38. Ohio State plodding buckteeth are slower than a hiber -nating Opossum. Another boring but whipping for them by Va Tech - or is that Vo Tech? Final Vo Tech 37 and Ohio plodding buckteeth 10. Jawja Bulldawgs vs. SoCal Blondies - Jawja Bulldawgs will be down at the half 24 to 13 but will wear down and physically whip the Blondies in the final ten minutes to blow them out 46 to 30. Now you know so you don’t even have to waste your time watching the game. Do something useful that you haven’t done in years - like clean your hazardous waste zone you call a bathroom!

Some answers: UGA is ranked higher than Tenn because UGA won more games. Period. UGA tied Tenn for SEC East. UGA early on lost to Tenn, yes, but UGA beat FLA handily and FLA beat Tenn like a rag doll. Cal, an average team at best also beat Tenn like a rug. Tenn has been lucky three times in the last three games. UGA has not been lucky, except perhaps against Vandy. Verdict. Tenn is a very good team but not as good as UGA at this point in the season. As for VT: see the beatdowns by LSU and in theirlast bowl game vs UGA. USC, great team, but somehow lost to Stanford. Whoops. LSU lost at the wrong time of the season. Too bad. Great team.

Reality: The Bulldogs No how, No way deserve a shot at a national title. No. 1 reason is they’ve haven’t played one real powerhouse all year. Heck, they eeked by Alabama & even Vandy; They beat TROY by 10!! The catapult for the program was the win against a down-year Florida: a good win for the Bulldogs, but hardly the stuff that makes national champs. Folks want to tell you that proof of dominance in the SEC is beating other SEC teams which, quite frankly, gets really old. For a national title shot, they need to travel & invite the Ohio State’s (USC - OK - TX) of the world in early in the season. To Wit: In the world of statistics you cannot compare one thing to that same thing. The bulldog need to demonstrate they’re fearless, not just deflect their noncompetitiveness by referring to the supposed “rigors” of the SEC. To the outsider, it always seems Georgia is dancing with its sisters - big deal. The Rose Bowl committee has a vital interest in ensuring they don’t bring in a “blow-out” team. GAs 2007 schedule, in reflection, shows nothing to ensure the ‘Dogs wouldn’t be absolutely embarrased by an top-tier team.

To DG: You are so right on the money. When was the last time UGA played a decent non-conference team early in the season? Boise State doesn’t count either. Go west of the Miss River, dawgs. Get some real experience. Quit playing the Furmans and Troys of the world as your non-conference foes.
