This has to be one of the most amazing seasons in college football history. Could you imagine what a playoff would be like. Why is no one mentioning UGA in the BCS title picture? With the way this season is unfolding, something that seemed a litle far fetched a few weeks ago, is sudddenly a very real possibility. Question…would it really benefit UGA to play in the SEC title game now that LSU has already lost??

Yes, UGA will move up in the BCS standings if they defeat GT this weekend. However, even if Tennessee loses, sending UGA to the SECCG and even if UGA beats LSU in that game, it still won’t be enough to get them to the BCS title simply because LSU will not be ranked #1 when they play. It will not give the Dawgs the boost in the BCS they need to get into the top 2.(Even IF all of this happens too: Kansas losing to Missouri, Missouri losing to OU in the Big 12 CG, and WVU losing to UCONN)

The only thing the Dawgs had going for them as far as getting to the BCS title game was having LSU ranked #1 when they played and defeated them for an SEC title.(along with all of the other scenarios above happening) With LSU’s loss to ARK, UGA has no chance of going to the BCS title game. So can we please stop now with all of these UGA/BCS title game hype articles and focus on the GT game? Thanks.

Good news is the Dawgs are still in good position for a bid to the Sugar, Orange, or Capital One Bowls. UGA must first take care of business against Georgia Tech. Go Dawgs!!!

The winner of the Kansas and Missouri game is gonna lose to Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship. If that happens That would leave West Virginia and Ohio State at #1 and #2, ang UGA at #3. If UGA can get to the SEC championship and West Virginia slips up against UConn or Pitt, We could see UGA and Ohio St. in the title game. Would’nt be funny to see Ohio State get rolled by 2 SEC teams 2 years in a row. lol

Wow. I agree that this has been a wacky season. I wanted LSU to win because I wanted an SEC team to represent. The only way the Dogs get to the SEC championship is if KY backdoors UT (yes, I meant the pun). The way the Dogs have played down the stretch, with the exception of a sub-par performance by Stafford at Kentucky, the Dogs are equal with just about anyone in the country. If Tennesee chokes tomorrow you never know where the chips may fall. Either way, I am already psyched about next year and the amount of talent UGA has returning. No learning curve next year.

What this loss means is that the Dawgs better be 100% ready for Tech tomorrow. If a 7-4 Arkansas team can go to Baton Rouge and beat a 10-1 LSU team, then you better believe that a 7-4 GT can beat a 9-2 Georgia team in Atlanta if the Dawgs aren’t completely focused on this game. Finish the Drill, go 10-2, and the rewards will follow. If that cautionary tale isn’t enough, the Texas A&M’s win over Texas is more proof that anything can happen this season.

On another note, I really like the East winner’s chance against LSU. They looked like one tired, beat-up (and now demoralized) football team against Arkansas. Their run defense has been pounded for more than 200 yards the past two weeks. It would take a tremendous coaching job by that staff to get them up for the SEC championship game next Saturday.

Sure beating Tech is first. Missouri will beat Kansas, Uconn really wants Virginia, Ky will easily handle the vols at home. No I am not reaching for the BCS tilte game, it can happen. LSU losing takes some glamour off the SEC championship game, however, LSU not being ranked number one will not mean a lot to voters and polls, they had already lost those points when they dropped from number one before. Ga will get a great BCS game regardless and if nothing else, look at the possibilities for next years team…..Scarey that anyone might be close to touching them.

What this loss means is even if Tn wins saturday and next week over LSU in the seccg, then GA will still go to the BCS. Had LSU not lost this game, if Tn won tomorrow and beat LSU next week, then we would have been left out of the BCS b/c three teams can’t go from one conference. This way, if Tn beats LSU we will still go because we will be ranked higher and only have two losses versus their three. Buttttt, we HAVE to beat Tech first or none of this matters. Go dawgs!

To Hell with Les Miles & LSU. He will fit in well at MI. GA gained nothing by LSU losing. LSU has been beatable all yr. Miles has been toting at least 2 Horseshoes all year. The only way it would have helped was to have played LSU at #1. All I want to do is beat Tech, which is not going to be easy. I could care less who plays in the SEC Championship Game. As for Ohio St., Kansas, Mo., & especially W.VA, let them play an ACC or SEC Schedule all yr. & see what happens. But, give Nutt credit. He kept them in the game & won. If Arkansas thinks they can do better, go hire someone else, maybe Lou Saban or Steve Spurrier. Neither one are very committed when they are not winning and don’t mind leving a rogram, high & dry.

No Brandon, the NCAA has not passed a rule requiring a team to win their conference in order to go to the BCS Title game. Which mean that Kansas could lose a close game to Missouri tomorrow night, and if Missouri losese to OU in the Big 12 CG, then a one-loss Kansas team could still go to the BCS title game.

Yes,it might have been better for us to knock off lsu in the sec champ game, but not really.. To keep the dream alive we have to have Wv lose and the winner of the Miss/KU game lose to OK in big 12 title game. Regardless of where LSu is ranked (1st or 6th) it does not matter. The only way (in this dream) for us not to rise to number 2, is for KU to lose to Miss, but only drop 1 or 2 spots. Then the win over LSU might not be enough for a 2 loss Ga team to jump a one loss KU team. Fun to think about!. AS FOR THOSE WANTING A PLAYOFF!. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE RIGHT NOW! If we had a 6 or 8 team playoff, the LSU/ARK Game and the KU/Miss game would pretty much mean nothing. GO Dawgs! Go Kats.. You can not deny, we are as good as anybody in the country right now!

I really don’t understand the BCS rankings. Does strength of schedule count? If so, Kansas hasn’t played anyone. Call me crazy, but, I don’t see any time out there that is better than Georgia right now. LSU is a joke. Their offense is terrible and the defense is average. If the coaches really want to see the best two teams, they will vote for the dawgs, regardless of the BCS.

first off this is a reach even now. it will be hard for wvu to lose to who is left on their schedule. everyone is mentioning uconn, but don’t ignore pitt. that game with pitt is a rivalry of all rivalries. regarding uga’s chances for those who said a 2 loss uga team won’t jump kansas, you are dead wrong.. if uga wins out and wins the championship game they will jump kansas at 1 loss. kansas poor sos is used in the computer polls and it will hurt them with the pollstars are well.

what still needs to happen:
wvu must lose 1 game missouri beating kansas or kansas winning has little to do with the uga.. the winner must lose to oklahoma who is assured of the title game even if they lose to okie state due to injuries.
the big 12 teams will knock themselves out, but uga must win against gt and then beat lsu. lsu not be #1 may hurt, but since they are still a top 10 bcs team they will still be considered a quality win and will boost uga’s rankings. That extra win is what is needed to jump over kansas.

this can happen. I don’t think it will, but the last 2 weeks have been great for uga.

Here is what has to happen for Ga to play in the BCS championship game.

First of all…Ga defeats Tech.

Ten loses to KY

West Virginia loses to either uconn or its final game after that.

Mo defeats Kan soundly. The key with this is that Kan is not even a division winner within the Big 12.

OK beats Mo in the big 12 championship game.

Ga defeats LSU in the sec champ game.

The BCS folks are not going to take a 1 loss Kansas team that is not even the div champ over the sec champ Bulldogs. Especially condering Kansas’ lop sided defeat so late in the season.

That is how it can happen.

If Kan beats MO…Ga as sec champs would still have an outside shot if the remainder of the above scenarios hold true and Kan loses soundly to OK in the b12 champ game. A 1 loss div champ might be a little tougher for a 2 loss sec champ to overtake however. So that would put Kansas into the champ game against OSU.

One bit of worry I have though…….check out this scenario….

Ten beats Ky and then beats LSU in the sec champ game.

Ga beats Tech.

Florida beats FSU.

Ten goes to the sugar.

Guess who gets the orange bowl?…

Florida does and Ga would wind up in the cap ital one bowl. I think there is a rule whereby the #3 bcs team is guaranteed a bcs bowl spot however.

Where does LSU go at that point?

The orange bowl may see Florida over Ga as the better draw to Miami. What do you think? I sure hope I would be wrong there.

If there was only a playoff?

WHY IS OHIO STATE RANKED AHEAD OF UGA? Let’s compare. Ohio State has beaten 4 ranked opponents. Two 21’s a 23 and a 25th ranked team. UGA has also beaten 4 ranked opponents. An 11, a 16, an 18 and a 23rd ranked team. Obviously much stiffer competition. Both UGA losses were to UR opponents and OSU’s was to UR Illinois AND that loss came late in the season which usually carries more negative weight. Seems pretty obvious that UGA has played and beaten much more difficult opponents. I think that UGA should be ranked ahead of THE Ohio State University. OOOOOOPs!!!

Let’s see — the Big Ten dominates the SEC every year in bowl games (check the facts the past 5 years) and yet folks still somehow believe the SEC is superior?

That logic exemplifies why the SEC is the worst conference academically across BCS (source: Newsweek 2007 ranking of National Universities)

Final tip: when comparing strength of schedule, use end-of-year rankings as they are more accurate. E.g., Ohio State lost to a #17 BCS ranked IL team

By AspenDawg

Okay morons, let me spell it out for you one more time.

A: We’re fans. We don’t play, so it would be impossible to “overlook Tech.” Are some of you actually suggesting that we shouldn’t care or know who to pull for on Sat. regarding all the the other games?

B: UGA beats Tech. Uconn beats WVU. Missou beats UK, then loses in Big 12 CG. UGA palys OSU in BCS NC game. SECCG doesn’t matter unless we go, and lose. UK beats UT and UGA wins SECCG, same result. UT beats UK and we don’t go to SECCG, same result. Simple really, and not at all out of the realm of possibilty.

C: UGA beats Tech, UT beats UK. WVU beats UConn. Winner of Missou/UK plays WVU in NC game if they win B12CG. If that team loses, WVU plays OSU, likely putting UGA in Rose vs. USC, since Sugar must take SECCG champ and Rose gets next choice of at-large teams. Or maybe it’s the Orange with first pick, but I think it’s the Rose. You don’t think a Rose bowl matchup of UGA and USC would be attractive? Either way, we’re guaranteed a BCS spot and it won’t be the Sugar, which will be forced to take the LSU/UT winner.

Point being, if UGA beats Tech, WVU REALLY needs to lose to UConn tomorrow, and I will be cheering for that very result. That will give us one more week of having the NC as a possibility. UGA would be 3rd, with one of the 2 teams ahead with a game left to play. It’s not that hard folks.

I agree that any fan should want his/her team to win their conference first, but in this highly unusual season, it may actually be of no advantage, and a possible hinderance, to play for the SEC title in pursuit of the NC. Bizarre? Yes. But factual nonetheless.

no, no, no, no, NO!!!!!!!!!!! For UGA to beat out a 1 loss Kansas team, the Jayhawks can’t lose this week. GA is 5 slots behind them. It would be better if GA closed the gap 1st by moving up this week, then having Kansas drop behind us after losing to OU. If they lose to Mizzou, they won’t fall beyond 4th, right behind OSU who will settle at 3rd and with GA winding up at 5th. Kansas losing to Mizzou actually makes things harder. Pollsters won’t drop a 1 loss 5 slots below a 2 loss unless they have NOWHERE else to put them! Lets hope KU waits a week to lose. Plus, having Kansas at #1 would put an exclamation point on the absurdities of the year.

If Missouri beats Kansas, OK beats Missouri, and Uconn beats WVU, Ohio State would play for the National Title, leaving the Rose Bowl with no Big 10 team. Without Dennis Dixon, Oregon will probably lose one of its last two games. USC is back on track and will beat UCLA putting them in the Rose.

Obviously the Rose Bowl would not pick another Big 10 team to replace Ohio State, thus UGA, ranked 3, is the obvious first pick.

HERE’S WHERE IT GETS VERY INTERESTING What if UGA and UT both win, but Uconn shocks West Virginia.

Georgia plays either Va Tech in the Orange Bowl or USC/Oregon in the Rose Bowl. Most likely national title game is West Virginia vs Ohio State (that’s predicting Oklahoma wins the Big 12). Obviously the Rose Bowl would not pick another Big 10 team to replace Ohio State, thus UGA, ranked 3, is the obvious first pick.

HERE’S WHERE IT GETS VERY INTERESTING What if UGA and UT both win, but Uconn shocks West Virginia. If OU wins Big 12, the Dawgs would be ranked No. 2 WITHOUT even winning their division, much less conference. It could officially end the BCS and force a playoff from the outrage across country (remember when Nebraska went to NC game after losing conference championship game)

Here’s a scenario: the Dogs get stomped by Tenn and lose to South Carolina, then…oh, wait a minute, that actually happened already. News flash: Your team is not national championship material. Better luck next year.

Wait a minute. Who in their right mind would rank Ga. ahead of LSU. LSU will only drop to 5th at worst. Did anyone see what USC did to Az.St.?? USC could jump Ga. this week. If VT beats Va. they too should jump Ga.

A national championship contender does not travel to Knoxville and get beaten like a rented mule, and it does not lose to lowly South Carolina. And the Rose Bowl will have no interest in UGA if no Big 10 team is available as a result of Ohio State’s going to the NC game. Keep dreaming, Doggies.

What’s all this talk about “UGA doesn’t need to play in the SEC championship?” Whatever! Yes, UGA needs to play in the SECC. It gives UGA the chance in a lifetime of being the first 2-loss team to play for an NC. The scenario is not outside the realm of possibility, especially the way this season has been going. Are you kidding? There is no such thing as “impossible” this year. I figured people would have realized that with the opening weekend App State win over Mich or Stanford over USC OR the fact that 6 No. 2 teams have been knocked out of that spot OR the fact that we’ve had 3 different #1s. It’s all up in the air. Have some faith in the dawgs. Pull for Mizzou, KY, and UConn today. And remember this: right now, UGA is considered by the national media as the hottest team in the SEC (maybe the nation, according to Herbstreit) with one of the hottest runningbacks. They are a popular pick for the voters if they win out and other teams (WVU, KS, Mizzou) can’t prove that they really want it. Go Dawgs, Sic ‘em

UGA HAS to win the SEC to have any chance to make it. The loss to Tennessee definitely hurt, but there is no way that you can say that this is the same team that lost to UT. If they don’t get to play in the championship game, then they will probably be jumped by USC, VT or both. What can you do? Beat Tech and be in the BCS at worst. Not bad for a re-building year.

Score 5 more points against “BIGMOUTH” SOS and the chickens and we would be sitting right.

Dog fans,

Lets all hope and pray for a win by Kentucky, Connecticut and Oklahoma (next Saturday). Of course, the Dawgs must do their part and win.

The only bad thing about the Dawgs backdooring their way into the National Title Game would be that I can no longer give Florida Gator fans grief about it. Oops, I sorry I still can. Both of Florida’s are bogus. Georgia’s title in 1980 was the real deal (undisputed).

GO DAWGS!

12 points scored against the Evil Empire. When UGA played South Carolina, they should have kept arrogant a* Spurrier out of their minds. The coaches should have kept the players from commenting on Spurrier at all. He uses mind games and it worked to perfection. This should not have been no more than UGA playing S. Car. Look at where S. Car. is now and look at where we are at now. Spurrier is laughing his a* off knowing he is the reason UGA is not in the title hunt right now. Tennessee put a spanking on us just like we have spanked others in the SEC, but 12 points against SC made my turkey & dressing not so great this year.

I am so tired of the Big Ten teams squirming their way into title games. The Big Ten needs to be forced to play a conference championship game like all the other major conferences.

Georgia would have to run up the score against Tech and have Kentucky beat UT. Then Georgia would have to run up the score against LSU to be considered for the national title game. That would be a long shot but the almost sure thing would be that Georgia will be in one of the four major bowl games. That will happen even if UT or LSU win the SEC championship since UT is ranked too low to be considered a real choice for one of the major bowl games. Rankings matter in the BCS.

gotta love idiot bloggers. here is what an idiot blogger says: oh, those scenarios are nice but we gotta focus on beating tech first.

wake up numbnuts. you are not on the team. you are not a coach.

fans do not need to focus solely on tech because as fans we have zero impact on the outcome of the game.

what a bunch of fools.

please no one else say: that’s nice but we gotta focus on tech.

some of you dawgies are retarded.

One of the reasons why the SEC is so exciting to watch is because there are so many blown coverages and assignments that lead to big plays. Hello…did you watch the LSU-Ark game? The other thing you notice is that the SEC teams are dumber than a bag of rocks. I mean, have you ever seen so many stupid penalties from false starts to personal fouls because of a lack of self-control? Absolutely ridiculous. Arrogance that rises out of ignorance….the SEC!
