Each team will have an argument. The thing that’s going for UGA is we are the hottest team in the country right now, and LSU has lost twice since UGA’s last defeat. I say UGA has as good of an argument as anyone. Adams and Evans has to burn up the phone lines tonight making UGA’s case.

No way that LSU should jump Georgia in the standings. Yeah, I get it, LSU won the SEC title while Georgia was at home, but what does that really mean? Does that mean the Tigers are more worthy than the Dawgs? No. It’s not UGA’s fault that the SEC East is far more difficult to navigate through than is the SEC West. Plus, it’s not as if LSU was awe inspiring in their win over Tennessee. The Bulldogs have done nothing wrong to deserve having their shot at a title taken from them.

The Dawgs have been playing unbelievable football the past six games. LSU has played fair at best. Who is playing better RIGHT NOW….the DAWGS! The reason Florida jumped Michigan last year was because the gators were playing better than Michigan AT THAT TIME!

There is no question that UGA has had a great season but if you don’t qualify to play your conference title how can you possibly make an argument to play for a national title? LSU has the same number of losses but they’re conference champions and played a MUCH tougher schedule than UGA did.

Bottom line is this season points to the need for a playoff more than any other ever has. It works in Div 1-AA.

By jb2golf

The answer to the question of “if UGA deserves a shot at the National Title” is absolutely NO!!! When you lose to a team at home (South Carolina) that finishes 6-6 and you get blown out by a team (Tennessee) that has 4 losses themselves.

BUT!!!

The absolutely insane system that we currently have in place says that YES, they should be moved up to #2 and be in the BCS title game. The same stupid voters that kept inching the Dawgs up in the polls and put 2 teams with identical records (LSU & Va. Tech) down to #6 & #7 should have their voting priviledges taken away. There is no way that LSU should move up and jump over 2 teams that were ahead of them in the polls and did not even play this week! The voters screwed this one up long before the crazy events of the last few eeks unfolded!

This proves once and for all that there should be major alterations made to this inadequste BCS system with some sort of playoff system put in place even if it’s just a “Plus 1” game as has been talken about!

LSU will go to the title game. One must only look back to last year to see Florida move from fourth leaping over an idle Michigan who did not win their conference. LSU should go. They won the conference title. Who cares that they lost two weeks ago, it doesn’t matter. They are 11-2 and SEC champions. We are 10-2 and, well, not SEC champions. How can we play for the national championship when we didn’t even win the conference? It totally stinks that Ainge chose tonight to emulate Reggie Ball, but he did, B*d!

Seriously, is this the best form of logic you Dawg fans can come up with in lobbying for the BCS title game?

‘Cuz we’re the Dawgs! GOOO DAWGS SIC EM!!!!11!11

Sorry UGA, you need to win your conference to be considered. So LSU’s lost last week is the reason why they shouldn’t go? You mean their 2nd loss that gave them the same record as you? Their second loss in triple overtime? Let’s see: You got MANHANDLED by Tennessee and a very bad South Carolina team in regulation. How on Earth can you say you’re the better team?

CUZ WERE THE DAWGS GO DAWGS SIC EM!!! WOOOOO

Please get a clue. We already learned last year that the BCS title game is reserved for conference champions. The voters realized that after Oklahoma and Nebraska got blown out in their respective title games, and that’s why UF jumped over Michigan last year.

Listen Dawgs, take your Rose Bowl matchup with USC and like it. It will be a far better bowl game than the title game, and will probably serve as an impetus to do away with the BCS altogether.

So let that be your legacy. You were the team that made the BCS fall. And everyone will be forever grateful.

If the decision is based on a team winning the conference championship, do you select OU or LSU? If you go by record, what about Hawaii? You can’t give it to LSU because they lost just a few days ago. They didn’t take care of their business. Georgia has one of the longest winning streaks which included UF, AU, GT, UK, and Troy. I know UGA will get screwed by the voters. UGA deserves the shot. Why does Ohio State get a shot again? They have played no one and UF dominated that sorry team last year. 2 loses in the SEC is an undefeated season in any other conference. LSU just lost a few weeks ago! OU is better than LSU.

Yes, UGA should be play for the national title. Here’s why. I know a argument can be made that LSU should jump UGA because they won the SEC Championship Game. But if you’re going to let LSU to the national title game because they won SEC title game then you have to make the same argument for VT and OK who won there conference title games. Yes I know that Ohio State only have 1 lose but everybody is punishing UGA for not making it to there conference title game but niether did Ohio State. I know that don’t have one but why jump LSU to BCS title game and not VT and OK if you’re putting weight on winning conference championships. Remember, Kansas only have one lose as well and Hawaii is undefeated.

I know this is a mess but again there is no way you jump LSU to BCS title game and leave out VT and OK because they won there conference title as well. So if you fans defend LSU to go to the national game. Then it ahould be LSU vs VT. Or why not OK because they beat the #1 team in the nation for the conference championship. You fans and experts can argue this all you want but fact the remains that UGA moved up when teams ahead of them lost, I don’t see why that should change because of conference championships. So here it is everone and live with it. OHIO STATE VS GEORGIA for national title, that final!!!

There would be a playoff if not for the networks and the media. The minute the top two teams started losing they started pulling for a #7 team to move to 2. What kind of bull is that.

I’m a GA partisan. But I think the winner of the SEC, LSU, deserves the NC game more (w/ their 2 losses both in OT). Somewhat unfair, so I think our consolation prize should be the Rose Bowl. I don’t mind being jumped by LSU, but please no Orange v VT, a rematch, or a Sugar v HI. Whatever, Go Dogs!

Yes they deserve to be number 2, I know, I know we did not win the Sec, Tenn beat us but you know what we are playing the best right now. I don’t care what any one says, you don’t have to win your conference. Ok. didn’t win but played, you don’t have to win you conference in basketball, college or pro, baseball, or football, I don’t know if we will play for the title but we should we were number 4 we should move up. But if we don’t go I hope we can avoid a letdown in the bowl game we go to.

A third criticism is that a team can fail to win its conference championship, but still play in the BCS championship game. This happened in the 2001 and 2003 seasons. In 2001 Nebraska played Miami (Florida), after losing to Colorado and knocked out of the Big 12 Conference Championship game. In 2003 Oklahoma played LSU despite losing to Kansas State 35-7 in the Big 12 Conference

Those who trumpet the BCS game say “Every game is a playoff game” OK let’s see if that statement holds water!!! We lost in 2nd week of Sept. and 1st week of October and have run the table since against a daunting schedule, that when at first glance after the TN game looked insurmountable. Dawgs beat “Superman” and Spanked a very good Auburn team. They beat one of the teams that beat LSU, and beat em’ in regulation. Go figure!

BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - When not having a conference champion participating in the BCS National Championship Game, the BCS will have the following conference champions serve as host teams: Rose Bowl - Big Ten and Pac- 10; FedEx Orange Bowl - ACC; Allstate Sugar Bowl - SEC; Tostitos Fiesta Bowl - Big 12.

The BCS is set up to accept NON-Conference champions in the big game.

If the rules need to be changed that only conference champions can win…then every conference should have a championship game.

If the SEC didn’t have a championship game…no one would be sreaming that LSU was a better team.

OSU isn’t going to be punished for not having a confernce championship….

being ranked where we are would seem to indicate that prior to today, the voters reached a consensus stating that we are a better team than lsu and thus deserved the higher ranking.

Is it based solely on their present ranking. LSU deserves it no more than OU. Nebraska played in the title game as a non-conference champion. ESPN wants to screw the SEC again.

Those holding calls on Pitt and the no call on the hold the next play. As someone else already said teams win national championships in basketball all the time without winning their conference tournament. Look at basball. You have teams that win the World Series that get in as wild cards. Are you saying their Titles should be taken away because they didn’t win their division. UGA took care of business down the stretch. They are the hottest team and will destroy OSU. If UGA is passed by anyone that will be a total scam. I will be very disappointed if the team stands by and allows us to be left out of the NC.

Actually, if you would look at the BCS LSU would have to jump 3 teams ahead of them (VT, Kansas, and UGA) to get to the title game. VT would have to jump 2. I’m not sure that’s happened before. I know UF jumped Michigan last year, but I think they only had to jump one team, not 2 or 3. I know it’still possible to happen though.

Tech fan here.

UGA has as much “right” to this as any other team. As much as it pains me, it wouldn’t be wrong if UGA played for the BCS. My guess is that LSU will jump, but who knows.

So, don’t flame me. I’m saying that because of the screwy system, why not send UGA?

You have to admit though, this really firms up the anti-BCS pro-playoff viewpoint.

One case for LSU is that they did beat VT. So, they did have to get throuh a team that is going to end up - probalby - right behind them in the final ranking.

Do I think LSU will jump us? Yes. One point I would like to make. The only argument against us is that we didn’t make the SECCG, but we had the same conference record as LSU. Quite simply, the record that was good enough to win the West outright was only good enough for a tie in the East. We just happened to lose to a team that was better than either of the two teams LSU lost to and we ended up tied with the team that beat us at the end of the regular season. So, saying that LSU deserves to go more than us because they won the SECCG isn’t as strong when you think that their record may not have been good enough in the east either.

Florida barely jumped michigan by .03 last year and jumped the team just above them. LSU would need more than .05 to jump UGA…would be a record for the BCS but it may happen. But LSU was handed the SEC championship, lost just last week, and lost two games since UGA lost one. If any team deserves the jump it is OU, but they would have to gain 0.20 to jump UGA.

Georgia not being able to go for the championship for a lost 2 months ago is as bad as some teams being tossed for a lost from this week or last. LSU, UGA, nor OSU deserve to go for the championship, they didn’t win critical games.

OSU played ONE team in the top 25 and LOST? Is that right? Do they have ZERO top 25 wins? If that’s true it should be LSU-GA for the title. That’s the ONE game that settles controversy

“When you lose to a team at home (South Carolina) that finishes 6-6 and you get blown out by a team (Tennessee) that has 4 losses themselves.” OSU’s scenario is more bleak than that if they zero top 25 wins. See the theme?

Why should, say, Ohio State or UGA or anyone else be ranked ahead of the team that “took on all comers” and beat every single one of them? Ohio State lost to Illinois. UGA lost to Tennessee and SOUTH CAROLINA.

Dawgs, it looks like you are going have the treatment Auburn received in 2004,NC title game. The news media kept us out of the game because of The Citadel on our schedule, now UGA will be skipped over for not winning your division and the SEC. It will be Ohio State-LSU.

We can’t depend on TN for nothing. We needed them lose one of there last two games and they won when they should have lost. Ok, so we don’t go to the SEC title game. Then we needed them to beat LSU because you figure TN is now a team of destiny with all these close wins. The football God’s were looking down on TN. So I just figure TN would slam LSU. So they lose to LSU to create this mess. Thanks a lot TN, you’ve been pain to UGA all season. We will punish you next season at Athens for all this headache you’ve caused us.

Hunker down you pollsters and do the right thing- DO NOT reward Les Miles’ grandstanding in front of you and his uninpressive at best 7 point win over a 3 loss Tennessee team by moving them from #7 to #2. UGA moved to the back of the 2 loss line when they lost to Tennessee, and they worked themselves back up the hard way by winning out.

Fact- Records since UGA’s loss to Tennessee: UGA 6-0 LSU 5-2

There is already a BCS precedent for a team playing in the NC game without winning their conference title. Oklahoma and Nebraska have done so. The BCS rules are what they are, if people don’t like them then change them, but you can’t change them during the season. UGA deserves a NC shot because under the current BCS rules they should qualify. If UGA is not selected, how on earth could LSU be selected? Why not Oklahoma or Kansas or Va Tech. There has to be some logic to the system or there is no system. I agree there is a stronger argument that UGA should play in the NC game than Ohio State being there. Go Dawgs!!

Does Georgia deserve a shot? No. But neither does any two loss team. Since no one seriously thinks Hawaii (if they beat Washington, which I think they won’t) or Kansas deserves a shot, we are going to have a two loss team playing. No one was able to beat LSU in less than 3 OTs. They smashed VT, and while their win over TN wasn’t impressive, it was more impressive than Georgia’s game with the Vols. The voters shouldn’t have dropped LSU below VT and GA last week, and they ought to correct that stupidity. LSU goes.

Dawgtime, did you read my post? I’m not angry, and my opinion is as relevant as any fan’s (UGA or otherwise).

I don’t think it SHOULD matter about the conference championship, but I think it WILL matter.

GT stunk this year (and for a while). We’ll see what direction the program is heading (and, yes, it can get better).

That said, UGA is playing great football right now. They got through their in-state rivalry game with no problem, unlike some of the other highly touted teams, and have had huge momentum for the 2nd half of the season.

172 overtimes versus Kentucky put Tenn into the SEC and probably and hurt UGAs chances for the NC. Plain and simple.

But, why am I commenting? Because I agree with the rest of you dogs that if UGA doesn’t go to the NC, then the system is broken. But, if they do, and conference champions with 2 losses don’t get in, I think others will have a valid argument.

If UGA gets in, you guys just get it done on the field and it won’t matter.

If not, then you need to be lobbying heavily for a playoff, because all of you guys seem to think that UGA could win out right now, and certainly your current streak supports that.

Now, tell me again my opinion doesn’t matter.

Let the stupid uga and stupid tech fans and let’s all start talking about the real need for a playoff of some sort.

The points were about 100 difference between LSU and UGA. If the point system puts LSU or USC over UGA then they should go, but if not, Georgia has earned the shot at the Crystal Ball because the “system” says they have earned it!

I went to UGA - was a Redcoat for 5 years (during the Donnan era) - but I’ve always been a firm believer that a team that does not win it’s conference should not play in the BCS NC, even if they are ranked #1 or #2. It’s always unfair unless you’re that team that’s ranked there but didn’t win your conference.

However, UGA ARE technically SEC Eastern Division Co-Champions. They get a trophy and everything. They just didn’t represent the East in the SEC Championship. Therefore they didn’t win their conference and therefore I don’t believe they should play for the NC.

If Georgia DOES wind up playing for the NC, I will be both extremely excited and extremely disappointed. Excited that Georgia gets a chance at the big one, but disappointed that the BCS system is a sham that let a team that didn’t win it’s conference in.

In other words, I won’t say no if it’s offered, but I believe that LSU deserves to play Ohio State more than Georgia. I’d much rather see Georgia vs. USC in the Rose (allowing Florida vs. Illinois in another bowl) but I don’t think that will happen either.

GA needs to lobby that they beat Fla, Auburn (in a rout) and Kty much worse than LSU did (Lsu lost to Kty) Because LSU is arguing they only lost OT games-never mind all the points they gave up doing so.

Instead, Oklahoma could have won it as a one loss team had they beaten USC that year. The BCS showed LSU 100 points behind UGA and USC behind LSU. If the points put UGA in the game, then they earned it! It has been noted more than once on national t.v. in the last 2 weeks that UGA is a good as anyone in the country RIGHT NOW!

If Notre Dame was sitting at number 4, Lou Holtz would be lisping an entire different tone about how N.D. would naturally deserve to play for the N.C. Who made the rule that a conference winner automatically leaps over a higher ranked team. LSU is ranked behind VT, Kansas, and Ga. If anyone leaps it should be VT, not a team that lost thier last game of the season at home but also looked less than a number # in the conference championship game tonight. Finally, why did the voters rank Ga. # 4 knowing they were not going to win the conference?

Georgia has already beat Virginia Tech in 2007. LSU has Lost 2 of its Last 7 Games. LSU beat a vols’ team who has Already Lost 4 Games Already and is going to be ranked about Number 20 before their annual bowl loss under Phillip Fulmer who has Lost both of his last SEC Championship Games – during which he has also Lost 6 of his Last 9 Bowl Games – for a Post Season Record of Phillip Fulmer in his Last 11 Post Season Games of 3 – 8.

Missouri is going to take a huge tumble because Losses at this time of the Year, are Playoff Games. Kansas’ best win all year long is over No. 38 BCS Oklahoma State, who Georgia also battered this year.

Oklahoma is Number 9 in the BCS and they will move up, but their best win other than over Missouri – who is going to take a big tumble today in the Polls – is over No. 20 BCS Ranked Texas. Texas has had their worst football team this season in Eight (8) Seasons running now. By a long shot. So, who has Oklahoma beat besides this one paper Tiger – Missouri ? No one. But, their Freshman Quarterback Sam Bradford leads the Nation in Passing Efficiency Rating – not Tim Tebow.

Both Oklahoma and Nebraska have both played in the BCS National Championship Game when neither were even the Big XII Champion that year. Georgia is Co-Champion on The SEC East – The Nation’s Top Rated Conference. Georgia beat Top 10 Florida and beat Auburn in the BCS Top 25, and come in to this final weekend ranked the Number 4 Team in the Nation by a long shot over No. 5 Kansas 11-1.

Ohio State, whose best win is over No. 17 BCS Ranked Wisconsin as Ohio State’s Only Win all Year Long against Any Team Ranked in the BCS Top 25 today. How that qualifies them to be in the BCS Mythical Pick Two (2) National Championship Game and NOT Georgia who beat both Top 10 Florida and Top 25 Auburn is beyond me personally.

The BCS system fails today more than it ever has in the past, all in this one year because as I see it – Ohio State is being willed into the Title Game having beat 1 BCS Top 25 Ranked Team No. 17 Wisconsin who beat NO BCS Top 25 team themselves all year.

Junk.

I have no idea how the BCS thinks it can sort this out.

They cannot. The BCS has failed so many years, and this is the straw to break the camel’s back. It makes no sense to put Ohio State in the BCS Mythical NC Game with their season obviously far worse than UGA’s.

Far worse.

Against a stinky Strength of Schedule.

It is not even a Top 50 SOS for Ohio State, and they get to play for the NC having beat only Wisconsin as the only team the BCS itself ranks in their Top 25 even and them barely and for Wisconsin beating not 1 team in the BCS Top 25.

LSU played a weak Strength of Schedule as well. The manner in which The SEC choose the vols and loser in 8 of his last 11 post season games Fulmer instead of Coach Richt and UGA, who would have beat LSU clearly, is a travesty because it is supposed to be a game to help The Top SEC Team in the BCS jump up. Playing now Number 20 Fulmer’s vols is not the claim to that when Virginia Tech (who both Georgia and LSU have beat in 2007 already) beat Boston College who is ranked considerably ahead of the vols. And, Virginia Tech was already ranked ahead of LSU.

Folks arguing for LSU have the realize is that Virginia Tech will play in the BCS MNC Game before they do because VT already was ahead of LSU and played a better Opponent higher ranked than LSU and beat them better as well.

Florida already in the Top 10 who Georgia beat this year too, also is moving up.

If Georgia played Ohio State, we would kick their butts again – as Ohio State is 0-8 in all their Bowl Games All-Time against The SEC including to Georgia.

If Georgia played Virginia Tech, we would kick their butts again – as Georgia already beat Virginia Tech in 2007.

If Georgia played Missouri or Kansas, we would kick their butts too.

If Georgia had played LSU, we would have kicked their butts tonight too – just as the vols should have.

Who is going to play in the BCS Mythical Damn Pick Two (2) National Championship Game this season ? It doesn’t matter what this failed BCS system does, it will be the wrong choice once again.

And, if Nebraska and Oklahoma can play for the BCS NC Game – both of them without winning their Big XII Championship either – why in the Hell Can’t Georgia ?

I love it! People all up in arms about who deserves to be in the championship game (like it really matters all that much when you stop and think about it).

I am a Georgia fan, but it would not bother me one bit if they are not in the championship game. We still get to go to a BCS game.

I am probably the only person on this blog (or on any blog for that matter) that actually likes the BCS. I like it because it keeps college football exciting. I also like the controversy it stirs up.

If you had a playoff, you’d still have controversy, but the playing of the games (especially in the regular season) would be much more boring.

Plus One? Give me a break! Now, you another game to make money and it devalues the bowls.

I like the way the drama unfolds each week the way it does now during the college football season, and this season was one of the best.

Do you think this season would have been nearly as exciting as it was if we had a playoff? Don’t kid yourself. There’s no way! This was easily the best college football season I have ever seen, and I hope it continues into the bowls and the national championship game as well.

OK, so a point can be made that UGA didn’t make it SEC title game but remember everyone, the BCS commitee did not set a rule that you must win your conference championship to make it to the BCS title game. If we don’t make it then we don’t make it. But the BCS knew that UGA wasn’t going to play in SEC title game and still ranked them #4. there is reason why UGA is #4. You don’t rank a team #4 if you’re not going to move them up. Doesn’t make sense.

One final note, UGA beat ranked teams down the stretch. Beat FLA and Auburn in bouble digits when they were playing well and ranked and held KY to 13 points when they have been averaging over 30 all season. It’s about where you are at the end of the season. I don’t see why should change.

Did all the funny bars just close? The GT fans are pouring into the discussion. Who cares what you idiots think? We dominated your sorry team. Oh Hokie fan, we whipped your team last year. The ACC has sucked for a couple of seasons. I wouldn’t brag. If you watched UGA/GT game, we could have scored more. To the delusional fool, shut up and go to sober up. It is about ranking. You can’t justify a 7th ranked team jumping that many teams. If you do that, then USC deserves a shot. What about OU? Why is LSU getting all the nods. They just lost a few days ago to a bad team at home.

For the numerically challenged Ohio State haters out there, Georgia has twice as many losses as OSU. That’s why the Buckeyes get the nod over UGA. That, and the one OSU loss was to a ranked, BCS bound team. How’d the dawgs do against Spurrier? Hey, it took the dawgs overtime to beat a team that Louisiana Monroe rolled in regulation.

The only thing that should matter is if Georgia is one of the two best teams in the country. In my opinion Georgia is definitely one of the best two teams. Georgia was ranked ahead of all other SEC this past week for a reason. So the best team in the SEC got left out of the championship game. LSU and Georgia had the same record before the SEC championship, and Georgia has been playing a lot better than LSU toward the end of the season. If a team that doesn’t win their conference shouldn’t go, they should change the rules to only allow conference champions in the title game. Bottom line- Georgia is one of the two best teams in the country; they should go to the BCS Championship game.

I do think LSU has proven itself by winning the SEC (obviously) and could very well play Ohio State, who has not convinced anyone they deserve a shot for the title (especially SEC fans). However, LSU had multiple wins that were VERY close and their two losses were in the SEC in OT. UGA beats Florida by 12 and Auburn by 25 (convincing) and also has two losses in the SEC. I am certainly not saying UGA is the most logical choice for BCS, but the way the current system is set they should play especially considering they are playing very well right now.

History normally rewards those teams who win late and those who lose late lose out. However, that was pre-conference championship game era. I cannot see UGA at 10-2 and not even making it to the SECCG going before 11-2 LSU who won the SECCG and whose only two losses were in OT. Same LSU team defeated UT in the SECCG —that’s the same UT that defeated UGA. Just not in the cards for UGA IMO.

However, right now, the Dawgs are the second (probably the top) best best in the country. Other non-conf champs have gone to the NC game before. If we get shut out of the NC game and the Rose Bowl, I say screw the Sugar Bowl. I’d rather play in the Fiesta. Still, I’m planning on going to New Orleans.

It is going to come down to match-ups. Who knows, the voters may want to see OSU-UGA.

Why not Missouri? I mean, by the logic from some people here, you don’t have to win your conference, right? Why not Mizzou #2 and OSU #1? (no, I’m not serious, but then again…)

VT lost to BC and LSU. BC game was in the rain and VT was the better team for about 59 minutes. Their two losses are to people who will still be in the top 25 tomorrow.

Heck, why not VT/ UGA? That would have been a good Orange bowl (assuming some scenarios that didn’t pan out).

But, I think honestly, if you’re an OSU, Oklahoma, Mizzou, Kansas, LSU, UGA, VT or Hawaii fan, you’ve got at least some claim to be able to play for the NC.

In fact, there’s my 8 team playoff field. Some team would HAVE to win 3 games in a row against teams who are surely 8 of the best teams in D1, right?

It should start next week, and go for two weeks, and then have the NC game after the Jan 1 bowls. Maybe we can all get together and make this happen, and we won’t all have to sit on blogs like this arguing the impossible.

People have been playing this ‘win your conference’ thing to the point that it’s clear the ‘voters’ - whoever they are - are gonna put OSU (who as was mentioned above didn’t play didly all season…against an LSU team that’s played lucky pretty much all season - in fact Miles is just now saying that his team has overcome obstacles all season - well, the biggest obstacle has been his lame-a* coaching.

So I say, so be it. Let those two play each other in NO sometime in January and let Georgia play USC in the Rose Bowl. People keep saying we’re the two hottest teams so why not let The Granddaddy of the Bowl Games promote a UGA/USC game as the true National Championship game.

It took a lot of luck and a couple of very questionable calls to beat GT. With LSU’s victory, with any justice, they would leap over UGA and play in the championship. However, it really should be VA Tech who should leap into the game against Ohio State. Why??? VA Techs two losses were to highly ranked teams - LSU and BC (Who they avenged tonight). LSU’s two loses were to teams who ended the season unranked - Arkasas and Kentucky. Though, head to head, LSU beat VA Tech in Baton Rouge

Eith way, both LSU and VA Tech are more worthy of making it to the national championship game.

UGA = Good team, deserving of the Orange Bowl. But not a great team.

With the talent on board, next year could be the year to actually earn it.

You are damn right the dawgs deserve a chance. LSU had their chance twice and blew it and what makes them think they deserve to jump over VA. Tech, Kansas, or UGA, (because they are LSU??? give me a break) If they wanted to go the the BCS they should have taken care of business on the field. Plus they have been barely winning all year and I think they are overrated and if they played UGA right now we would beat them by at least two touchdowns. Coach Richt is right you don’t have to run your conference as a prerequisite to playing in the BCS title game. Also, the BCS set a precendent for this when the matched OU (who lost the Big 12 title game) against LSU in the 2003 title game. It is our turn, so get over it you UGA haters!

Yes - and so does LSU. The team that doesn’t deserve it is Ohio State, who was terrible this year but played a bunch of teams that were (incredibly) worse. Georgia v. LSU in the title game would be the best game — a real national championship. Right now the question is “who gets to cremate OSU for the title?”

Why is everyone on this TN killed UGA in thing? That was like what, 2 months ago? It’s not how you get beat early in the season but how you finish the season and that’s what the BCS commitee wants to see. Remember, USC lost to Stanford when they were heavily favored and now people are talking about them playing for the title. But again, that was earlier in the season.

When UGA lost to TN, or I’m sorry, got killed by TN as everyone likes to say. They had 3 freshmens starting on the offensive line and several freshmens on the defensive side but they grew up and got better and UGA went on role from there. You people don’t think the BCS commitee don’t look at that. They want the best two teams who are playing well down the stretch. That’s called logic not sense. The BCS system is not sense, it’s logic, and logic says tht UGA plays Ohio State for the national title. Sense says LSU vs Ohio State but this system is about logic. So live with it.

But LSU loses 2 times late in the year. not the dogs fau;t. they lose to kentucky even in overtime the same kentucky team we beat IN regulation by 11. lsu beat fla. by 4 we beat them by 12, they beat auburn by 6 we win by 25, they beat ole miss by 17, we beat ole miss by 28, they beat ala. by 7 we win by 3 so by calculations we have just as much or more, since the dogs margin of victory is larger, to be in the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP game as LSU or V T or USC or KANSAS etc.

How would LSU jump Va Tech? LSU would jump Va Tech because we slaughtered them at the beginning of the season. We also lost our two games in triple overtime, not during regulation play. Georgia can’t say that. We’re also the only team that was ranked #1 or #2 that lost to a ranked team (UK). You know if UGA wasn’t in this position, you’d all be saying no team should play for the National title if they didn’t win their own conference so stop whining and agree with what we all agree with - every conference should have 2 divisions so every conference would have a conference championship game. What’s truly not fair is the conferences that don’t have two divisions play less games. As for the Arkansas game, we had a TD stolen from us when Arkansas wanted to take a time out but the whistle was blown clearly after the ball had been snapped by LSU. Then in tonight’s game against Tennessee, the most blatant non-call was when a Tennessee player took his helmet off on the field after a play. Where was the flag? LSU is the most penalized team in the nation. Coincidence? If you watched all their games, you’d no that’s not the case. The case is very similar to what happened to Tennessee againts UK in OT last week. Lsu, like Tennessee last week, has consistently had conradictory calls against them that affected the game. Concerning Tennessee, which is it? Can a flag be thrown at the end of an OT period or not? It can’t be both ways yet is it and sadly, the S.E.C. “stands behind their officials” who obviously might be better off coaching Little League. Luckily for LSU (and Tennessee last week), many times you win in spite of the officials. It’s a shame you not only have to play the other team but the officials as well. Bottom line is whoever ends up #1 and #2 will play for the National Championship. I hope LSU is one of them because I am from Baton Rouge and have bled purple and gold since I started going to the gamesin the early 60’s. I also graduated from a university in Georgia and gave birth to two children in Georgia so Georgia is home to me too. My oldest son who was born in Baton Rouge was murdered in Georgia in 1992 and I have two graddaughters that lie there now. I love the time I spend there and I’m not going to toss insults at Georgia because things don’t go the way I want them to go. The reason I’d really love to see LSU in New Orleans playing for the National Championship again this year is because Skip Bertman is retiring and he’s our connection for regular priced lower level tickets. LSU also played one of the toughest schedules in the country and out of 9 games in a row, 6 were to ranked teams and 4 of those games were in a row. Whether you want to admit it not, we have a valid case to jump. We didn’t stop you from being in tonight’s game and no, your opinion that our division is “easier” than yours is just that - an opinion. We still played most of the same teams as you and as I said, we didn’t lose either of our losses during regulation play. It took triple OT for both along with some help from the officials. Yes, we could have played well enough to been ahead by so much that nothing the officials could have done would have made a difference but the bottom line is almost every team in the S.E.C. has major, well-deserved issues with the S.E.C. officials and it’s not right nor is it fair that calls or non-calls made by the officials should affect the outcome of any game, no matter how close. You don’t like it when you have a TD called back because a flag is thrown because of a so called ineligible receiver when that receiver is really an eligible one so don’t say we’re whining when it happens to us. That’s stealing 6 points from a team no matter how close the game is or isn’t. Last year, after the S.E.C.game AND the National Championship, many sports reporters and coaches stated that LSU was the best team in the S.E.C. but Florida won the National Championship so f we were the best team in the S.E.C., we were better than the National Champs. We could have made an argument that it should have been LSU playing Florida in Atlanta instead of Arkansas last year. What’s the use of having divisions if you’re going to consider the overall S.E.C. record before you consider the division record? We were tied with Arkansas in our division and had beat them so it seems logic would follow that we’d play Florida in Atlanta but it didn’t play out in the logical way. If LSU jumps to #2, it will be your turn to feel logic didn’t play the way it should. GEAUX TIGERS! But if Georgia somehow makes it to the title game, I will be pulling for them. I am loyal to my team first but also to my conference - the S.E.C.- the best and toughest conference in the country. We all know that what we say over and over is true - No other team from any other conference could play the S.E.C. teams every year and survive very long. A few years of playing in the S.E.C. and they’d be rolling over screaming “Uncle”!!!

How can LSU jump Georgia in the BCS rankings? Going into this current week Georgia was ranked #4 and LSU #7. When the rankings were made, the voters and the computers knew that LSU and Tennessee would be playing for the SEC Championship, not Georgia. But they still ranked Georgia as the better team at that point. The BCS rankings showed Georgia as the better team, despite the fact that they couldn’t win or play in the SEC title game. Why in the hell would LSU all of a sudden jump Georgia NOW after winning the SEC title game if it was already deemed that Georgia was the better team?????

The BCS is supposed to give greater consideration to a team’s performance during the latter part of the season. Over the course of the whole season, LSU is +1 over GA with respect to common opponents (LSU +57, GA +56), a statistical dead heat. However, during the last half of the season, Georgia is + 36 over common opponents (GA +36, LSU 0). Georgia clearly came on much stronger during the last half of the season and deserves to be in the championship game. Is the memory of the voters so short that they cannot recall that LSU lost to Arkansas in the last last game of the regular season? They didn’t storm into the title game as a dominant team; they schlepped into it as a loser.

The most important thing in college football that NOONE HERE IS TALKING ABOUT IS MONEY. Remember this folks: we have no playoff system now because of IMAGINED LOSS OF REVENUE. With this in mind, one component that should be kept in the back of peoples minds (including coaches and sportswriters) is the amount of cash that can be made off of the National Championship game. How much money can be made off commercials, how much merchandise can be sold leading up to, during and after the game, HOW BIG IS THE POINT SHARE GOING TO BE FOR FOX THIS YEAR? Let me tell you one thing noone can dispute: offense fills the seats, keeps the viewers in their chairs and keeps the annnouncers nattering on and on. Anyone here see LSU play tonight and think that’s going to happen is delusional. Their starting QB is injured, Dorsey is injured, i could go on forever but frankly, i couldn’t care less about the Bayou Bengals. Thank God computers comprise only 33% of the vote. Noone jumps 5 spots over an idle team. Georgia was put at #4 for a reason, AFTER THE VOTERS, COMPUTERS AND COACHES KNEW THEY WERE NOT PLAYING IN THEIR CONFERENCE TITLE GAME. They won’t penalize Georgia for their questionable voting practices when it matters the most. Remember this, LSU LOST 7 days ago. Dir!!! Think people!! This vote will be split, and THE DAWGS WILL COME OUT ON TOP. One final point: The third highest profitable football team in the country is Georgia. Everyone, and i mean EVERYONE else in the National Title discussion, is not even in the top 5. $45 million profit last year and growing. Big money will be leaving swiss bank accounts tonight folks. Call it what you want, but fair is fair. Every other sport that uses rankings moves up the next team in line.

We are next.

Yes, Georgia should be playing for a National Championship. In this crazy season….why not??? Yeap, LSU won the SEC Championship, but they got not one, but TWO chances at being the #1 team in the nation. They blew both chances. So, why not let Georgia play? Ohio State? Are they any more deserving of being the #1 team? What teams have they played? Georgia has played a far tougher schedule than OSU, but all the so called “experts” want to talk about is how OSU will slide into the #1 spot. Also, yes I am aware Georgia did not win their division or the SEC Crown. But until they put a rule in saying that you must win your conference that argument should be null and void. Georgia should not be punished simply because of tie breakers. They were put in the #4 spot for a reason….the voters can see how good this Georgia team is. That is why they were placed ahead of LSU, VT and USC. #1 and #2 lose. Everybody gets to move up 2 notches. Everyone else seems to have gotten their shot at being #1 and #2, so now, lets let Georgia have their fair shot.

Like some have said, Georgia did not win their SEC division… Tennesee did and they lost to LSU. Of course, Tennesee also defeated Georgia. How can the BCS choose Georgia for the play off game for the whole shabang, when they did not even win a division?

To bad Georgia didn’t play LSU, I guess (I think they would beat them at this point). Yes Georgia has improved, while LSU has cooled off, but so what? The whole season has to be taken into consideration, not just the last three games of LSU and Georgia.

Actually, morons… the reason Michigan got passed over last year is not because they didn’t win their conference, its because it would have been a rematch of a game that was already played earlier in the season.

You show me in the rules where a team must win their division to play for the National Championship, and then fine… but you can’t show me that rule because it doesn’t exist.

Voters knew that Georgia wasn’t playing for the SEC Championship when they voted them 4th last week… so why would that change in one week?

The simple fact is, no one wants to play Georgia because they’ll get their a*******es handed to them on the national stage.

Here come the if’s…

If Georgia had played Tennessee close then I’d say they deserve to go.

If Georgia had beaten SC like they should have they would likely have beat LSU today and we wouldn’t have this discussion. Georgia, USC, OKLA, or LSU would beat OSU so let’s let Georgia win their bowl game, let LSU beat Ohio State and have the Dogs end up #2. Much better than anyone at UGA could have hoped for. If that happens they’ll be preseason #1 and have a decent chance to end that way.

Some have commented that USC and Georgia are the two hottest teams. I’d like to see that but it looks like the Dogs will be playing someone else.

For those of you that listen to ESPN for ALL of your sports news shame on you (Les Miles blunder, even OSU/LSU prediction already tonight)! ESPN means more lame entertainment than sports these days! Somehow their talent has become more important than the sports they cover! No matter who goes it has been one heck of a college football season! Good luck tomorrow everybody!

What is the deal with all the people saying “IF YOU DIDN’T WIN YOUR CONFERENCE, THEN YOU SHOULDN’T PLAY FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP?” Just a few years ago Oklahoma went to the championship game after losing their conference championship…OSU doesn’t even have to play a conference championship game!!! Every conference should play a championship game if that is the measuring stick for determining whether a team is worthy of playing for the national championship.

UGA didn’t get to play in the SEC Championship game because of the SEC tie-breaker rules. If the rules had stated that upon a tie, the highest rank team went, then UGA would have played LSWho and we all wouldn’t be talking about this right now either LSU or UGA would have proven that it was the better team on the field!

IF YOU GO BY SHEER TALENT AND PROGRESSION OVER THE YEAR, USC VS GEORGIA WOULD BE THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME…TOO BAD UNEQUAL CONFERENCE PLAYING FIELDS AND COMPUTERS WILL PROBABLY LAND THIS AS THE ROSE BOWL TO REMEMBER! WE WILL PROBABLY END UP WITH A BORING NC GAME WITH LSU AND OSU SEEING WHO CAN WIN WITH THE LOWEST AMOUNT OF POINTS SCORED VS A POTENTIAL ROSE BOWL MATCHUP WITH TWO HIGH SCORING AND FAST PACED OFFENSES!

Here are some facts:

LSU (11-2) SEC champions; 6-1 vs Top 25 Oklahoma (11-2) Big 12 champions; 3-0 vs Top 25 Va Tech (11-2) ACC champions; 3-2 vs Top 25 WVU (10-2) Big East champions; 3-1 vs Top 25 OSU (11-1) Big Ten champions; 4-0 vs Top 25 USC (10-2) Pac 10 champions; 3-1 vs Top 25 UGA (10-2) no conference championship ; 4-0 vs Top 25

It is true that UGAs record compares to the other teams, but the fact that they did not even win their own division in their own conference and all these other teams did SHOULD affect them. When two or more teams have comparable records, then you have to go to accomplishments. If you cannot see this, you are a blind homer.

The system should be tweeted some but not changed. First all conf.s should either be split or not so all had to play championship games or not. Second confs should be shuffled so all have 10-12 teams. Teams should have an 80/20 split on conf and non-conf games. Teams should start the season with the ranking they finished with the year before. Bowls should be even vs odd,ie. 1 vs 3 2 vs 4 on down the line unitl all the bowls are filled. with the winner of 1/3 and 2/4 play for the championship. This would be the closest to a play off and still preserve the bowl system and all important money flow.

Wake up folks!! Herbstreet wants LSU because he knows his alma mater would do better against them they way they’re playing now. They would get waxed by the Dawgs, and that embarrassment would be too much to endure. As for “deservability (sic),” it’s the polls, people! It’s about the polls - that’s why you have so many polls, people, groups and computers involved in the BCS Poll… to get it right. And UGA is/was ranked #4 for a reason… the multitude of polls. Conference Championships should not change the polls, because they didn’t in the past (when OK and NEB lost huge and still played for the title - heck, even Florida lost to FSU and got a rematch to win it all, or was it the other way around?). Anyway, you get my drift… Georgia DESERVES to go because they earned it at a time when it mattered most -historically, for over 100 years- AT THE END OF THE SEASON! They are ranked where they should be, when teams above them lose, to move up and play in the big game. Beside that, any team that wallops Florida (with Heisman winner Tebow, and Auburn in back to back weeks absolutely deserves to go. End of story, Period.

The SEC game today proved that LSU has NO business being in the NCG. That was BRUTAL. It was perhaps the worst SEC Championship Game EVER played. If it isn’t Georgia then it should be USC or Oklahoma. LSU looked terrible and Tennessee looked worse. Hopefully voters won’t be enamored with the “big win” today, because it wasn’t much to brag about. It was a low point for SEC football. Oklahoma, Georgia, or USC would have put +40 on either one of those teams today. Heck, Kansas could have won the SEC today.

Listen up Bulldogs fan. This is why you should not be in the National Championship game and LSU should. 1. You did not win your conference title. 2. Tennessee would still be scoring points if the clock happened hit 00:00. 3. The BCS put in a rule two years ago stating that you must win your conference title in order to play for the title. 4. LSU beat VT on the football field by 40 points.

Yes, there should be a playoff. Georgia would be included, but since there is no playoff, it should be LSU/OHIO STATE.

I think that the National Championship game should take the two best teams at the end of the year. This year, the two best teams are:

Ohio State and Georgia.

While Georgia has one six in a row, LSU has lost two times in that period, including a loss last week.

LSU is not one of the top two teams at this point-the end of the season.

Just heard a radio interview by one of the voters who put it in perspective. To paraphrase he pointed out that you don’t suddenly vote a previous #7 or #9 team at #2 when only two teams ahead of them lost (in fact they probably wouldn’t even jump ahead of the two teams that lost). Using Georgia and LSU as an example, he stated that when he voted GA ahead of LSU last week it was with the assumption LSU would beat a much lower ranked team in Tennessee. It had nothing to do with the SEC title (which was just another game). And the fact that LSU barely got by Tennessee would in no way justify pushing them to number two. He went on to point out that last weeks votes would have no credibility if we had teams leapfrogging others teams that did not lose today.

Oklahoma lost their championship game and still play for the national championship in 2003. Auburn went undefeated and were SEC champs and did not play for the national championship in 2004. Everybody has reasons why they should play in the big game. All that being said, LSU average opponents rank was 44. Georgia opponents rank was 36. Its going to be close but……I don’t know what the computer is going to say. I hope the person inputing the numbers are not a Vol or a Yellowjacket fan.

Puppy Dawg fans are funny! LSU beat the VOLS with an injured and crippled squad. Meanwhile, the ferocious “dawgs” couldn’t take care of business with their starting line up against the likes of South Carolina in regulation. You couldn’t even make it to the title game and you think you deserve a National Championship ring? Pardon me while I buy a prada purse to carry you precious little bull-dawgs in while I cheer LSU on in the Superdome for yet ANOTHER championship title. HA HA!!!!!!

No way UGA should be in the NC game. The rankings have been screwed up from the beginning. UGA should never have been ranked #4 in the BCS. They are not the best 2 loss team in the country. They are at best 3rd in the SEC. That’s not good enough to be put into the NC game. At the game vs. Tech they looked horribly overrated. Tech played VT and got dominated and UGA got a few lucky breaks and one or two good plays and they win. VT is better than UGA. LSU beat VT early in the season and I mean hammered them. So hmm who’s better, LSU. UGA belongs behind all the 2 loss teams who won their conference. You can’t punish OSU for not playing a conference championship game. That’s how their conference works. It should be OSU vs. LSU. Don’t blame how the BCS will turn out. Blame how the BCS put UGA in a position they never deserved to begin with.

Does Georgia deserve to play for a national championship? That’s a trick question. Hate to break it to all the college football lemmings in this country — including all Dawg fans — but there is NO SUCH THING AS A DIVISION 1 COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAMPION. Never has been, may never be.

Until a playoff system is instituted, which I’m guessing is the day after never, determining a paper football champion has all the validity of judging in such robust sports as figure skating and synchronized swimming. Just because a group of “experts” and/or computer models decides that Team A and Team B are the best 2 in the country and deserve to play for an alleged championship, doesn’t make the title legitimate. It ain’t, no matter how much blather is spouted by those who shill for the sport.

Georgia Southern has won some football championships. So have teams in other NCAA and NAIA divisions. No team has ever won a Division chamnpionship. Not Georgia. Not Alabama. Not Southern Cal. Not Oklahoma. Nobody. Voted No. 1, yes. Big difference than actually winning a championship.

So, who should play in the BS “championship” game? Ohio State? LSU? Georgia? USC? Oklahoma?

If LSU goes to the national title game over Georgia solely because LSU won the conference, Georgia is essentially being punished for losing to better SEC teams than LSU.

The reason Georgia did not win their division and get to the SEC championship game is they lost two conference games. LSU also lost two conference games! The difference is that UGA wound up losing a tiebreaker in their division because one of the two teams they lost to happened to also have only 2 conference losses. If LSU had lost to Auburn instead of Arkansas, they would have missed the SEC title game and Auburn would have gone to Atlanta. If Arkansas had only one other loss, Arkansas would have won the West. If Georgia had lost to Kentucky (like LSU) instead of Tennessee, they would have won their division. Fortunately for LSU, they lost to a worse team in their division than Georgia.

The combined records of the SEC teams Georgia lost to is 9-7. For LSU, it’s 7-9. The total combined records of Georgia’s and LSU’s SEC opponents is an identical 28-36.

I’m not sure Georgia is more deserving. LSU had a great season. But voters need to know what they’re doing when they arbitrarily add rules to the BCS process. The requirement of winning the conference introduces variables that I don’t think people completely understand.

There have been 2 teams go to the championship game before. LSU is definitely not playing as good as Georgia is. LSU started out great but has had a difficult time winning games of late. USC has only beat 2 ranked teams, Ohio St. didnt even play even have to play a conference title game, does that mean they dont deserve to play in the title game either, no!! they move up 2 slots because theyre #3. I dont really think Ohio State, Oklahoma, LSU,and Kansas should play for the BCA Title. Should be #1 Georgia and USC both are the best teams right now in America. But to be fair #3 Ohio St. and #4 Georgia should both move up to those 2 vacant spots. Ive never seen a team on the last week move from #7 to #2 unless five teams above them lost. LSU you had your shot at holding #1 and you failed both times, a loss is a loss, time to move over and give a more derserving team a chance. Go to the Sugar bowl and show why you deserve to be ranked #5 in the country. We did actually tie for the SEC East and you all know that as of right now , there really isnt anyone playing better than Georgia. ESPN can say what they want but they all have different motivations, remember Herbstreet reported LSU’s coach was going to Michigan and Corso said Oregon was the best team in the nation.

The idea that LSU, ranked at #7, could jump 3 strong teams ahead of them (VA Tech, Kansas, and UGA) simply by beating a 14th-ranked, 3-loss, TN team is stunning. Even if, for argument’s sake, you omit UGA from the analysis, VA Tech beat an 11th-ranked Boston College team.

I agree with Coach Richt and those who have said that the voters knew that UGA would not be the SEC Champion when they ranked UGA #4 in the polls. The truth is that UGA has improved dramatically as a team since the beginning of the season.

As always, though, the national media (including ESPN’s Lou Holtz, who still resents being beaten repeatedly by the Dawgs when he was at South Carolina) disregards the State of Georgia and UGA. And to make it worse, they shun UGA in favor of LSU, a team that only avoided being beaten by Kentucky by sheer, complete, and utter luck. And hasn’t LSU been given enough second chances already this season? They had the opportunity to be in the title game and blew it twice.

UGA deserves a shot at the national championship. The media pundits aside, Coach Richt and his team have proven, on the field, their worthiness to contend for the title.

There’s no way you should be able to play for a NC if you don’t win your Conference, much less your division.

That being said…I don’t blame UGAY fans for their complaints b/c they are ranked 4th, they shouldn’t be ranked that high if they’re not going to be given the shot. The same with Kansas….

…simple solution, BCS rule amendment: you can’t be ranked higher than someone else in your division if they have the better(winning record) and you can’t be ranked above someone in your Conference for the same reason….leagues with no Conference championship can’t be ranked above someone who won their CCG.

Their BCS Poll for all these seasons will be a Sham to not do what they would have done every other BCS Poll and that is when both Number 1 and Number 2 lose, to have every single solitary time, moved up Number 3 and Number 4 to the Number 2 and Number 1 places in the Polls.

Are there two (2) only teams that should have been in The Game any year ? No. What we are hearing is the argument that any team but Georgia should move up. The truth of the matter is that Ohio State is the team who should not move up. Ohio State beat only 1 Ranked Team all season long and played in fact, the Official NCAA Strength of Schedule Number 46 Strength of Schedule.

LSU has played the Number 35 Strength of Schedule.

UGA has played the Number 19 Strength of Schedule.

http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb/Internet/toughest%20schedule/ia9gamescumm.pdf

If LSU wanted to have played in the NC Game, then when it was No. 1 twice, they should not have lost either or both times. And, by the way, both times were 2 of their LSU last 7 games LSU Lost. That both of those teams are teams who are not ranked whatsoever in the BCS Top 25 Poll this Season that LSU Lost to (Kentucky and Arkansas) further erodes the whining of Less Miles who manages to lose two games every single solitary year at LSU with all the talent LSU left him from Nick Saban’s recruiting, not his own. And, Less Miles manages to lose to two inferior teams every stinking season of his at LSU while their recruiting goes down the crapper every year of Less Miles at LSU despite the absolute known fact that LSU plays a Weak Strength of Schedule ranked only the Number 35 Official NCAA Strength of Schedule.

There is one sentiment here that should be espoused again here and that is : Thanks a lot Phfat Fil for putting us in this situation, because just as LSU or Georgia would beat Ohio State (although clearly Georgia would beat their butts more soundly with both a Tandem at Quarterback Matthew Stafford and a Running Back Combination of Knowshon Moreno and Thomas Brown), Georgia would have beat LSU’s butts (vols should have too) while LSU doesn’t have a Tandem at Quarterback and Tailback like UGA does and LSU played a stinky Number 35 Strength of Schedule.

Beating now BCS Number 16 vols, should not move LSU up for playing a weak strength of schedule, like Big 10 Ohio State did.

The Pundits are going to say that UGA DROPS from Number 4 to Number 5, that LSU jumps to No. 2 with Virginia Tech jumping to No. 3, and Oklahoma jumping to No. 4.

That is not the way the votes have gone up to this last poll, and we get to see exactly where the Coaches vote each team, especially the Big XII who is known to vote in blocks for their own teams.

We beat Kentucky Wildcats, holding them to 13 points, while LSU in their Last 7 Games Lost 2 Games (while UGA lost -0-.) In fact, LSU gave up 43 to Kentucky, whom we beat.

We beat Florida On The Road at The Gator Bowl 6 and half hours away from our campus by 12 points. And, LSU’s Less Miles went for 4th down time and time again at Baton Rouge, their own Home, to beat Florida by 4.

Georgia already beat Virginia Tech in 2007.

Georgia is the Best Team in the Country on this Day.

Ohio State certainly is NOT.

Ohio State’s zero wins all-time in bowl games against The SEC with eight (8) Losses in their Every Bowl Game against The SEC ever, coupled with their only win over a ranked team this season, their win over Wisconsin (No. 17), forces us to study Wisconsin by the same token, doesn’t it ? Wisconsin beat not 1 ranked team all season long.

My argument for UGA is simple. You can’t change the rules just because UGA did not play in the SEC championship. It is not and never has been a criteria under the BCS rules. Notre Dame and the Big Ten schools don’t and should not get punished for not playing in conference championships. Neither should UGA. The only team that I think has a legitimate gripe is Va Tech since they beat a higher ranked BCS team this week than LSU in their conference championship. I don’t care that Va Tech lost to LSU by a lot this season. It should have already been contemplated in the rankings prior to this week.

When LSU can beat Florida At The Gator Bowl by 12 instead of 4 at Home going for it on 4th down every series, let me know. When LSU can hold Kentucky to 13, not 43, let me know – let alone when LSU can even beat Kentucky. When LSU has a Tandem at QB and TB such as Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno/Thomas Brown, let me know. When LSU has not Lost 2 of their Last 7 during which time UGA has Lost Zero, let me know. When UGA is one of the Top 2 in the BCS and Loses both times they were like LSU already has in the Last 7 Weeks, let me know. So what that LSU beat Virginia Tech in 2007, so did UGA. So what that LSU played six (6) games against teams that are playing in a bowl this season, Georgia played eight (8.) So what the vols played in the SEC Championship Game, Georgia lost 2 games and the vols Lost 4 so far. So what that LSU beat South Carolina and the vols, both of whom beat UGA, when UGA beat Kentucky who LSU lost to and beat Top 10 Florida better and on the road beat Virginia Tech in 2007 too, and clearly would have beat LSU’s butts last night – like the vols should have and UGA beat Ole Miss a lot better than LSU did and UGA beat Auburn a lot better than LSU did as well.

Our interpretation “is” that other NCAA sports should scrap their playoff systems in favor of this BCS thing. Increase diversity by involving more and more people who are watching instead of actually playing the games each week. Transfer more power from the playing field to the political arena where it belongs. Run more polls and crunch more numbers until you finally get it just right.

Tennessee actually beat us 4 times this year. Once in Knoxville, once against Kentucky, Once against Vandy and again last night. I hope that Fat Phil chokes on his Outback Special. And that he’s still the coach next year when we play them.

Yes, Georgia deserves to go. I know we lost to SC and Tennessee, but we then won 6 straight including 5 consecutive double digit wins to end the season. We beat Florida, who LSU barely beat. We killed Auburn, who LSU barely beat. We beat Kentucky and held to only 13 points, who beat LSU and put 52 on them. We beat GT in a hate game. LSU did win the SECCG against Tennessee, but hell, UT should have lost to SC, Vandy and Kentucky as they got lucky in all three. Bottom line - Georgia is playing better that LSU now and deserves the opportunity to play in the NC game. We probably won’t, because all the idiots on TV keep promoting and overrated LSU team. Oh well, we have great years ahead ‘Between the Hedges’.

Based on how this season goes UGA deserves as much a chance at the Title as anybody else. We may not be the best team in the nation, but twe’re definitely the hottest ticket in town!! What ever happens we had agreat season, and next year we go all the way if they slight us this year. I just hope we don’t get stuck playing a patsy like Hawaii. They may be undefeated, but so were much better Rutgers and Penn State teams over the years. GO DAWGS!!!

A resounding NO. The Dawgs have not won anything in their conference to earn the right for the title. LSU has and with an 11-2 record, one more win than Georgia, and the SEC championship. UGA should not Sneak into the title game reguardless how they have been playing recently. Don’t get upset UGA fans when LSU jumps you in the polls. Be happy you still got a shot at the Sugar.

Keep the 4 traditional bowls. Either pick from the traditional tie-ins (we hate you Rose Bowl) or pick from a 1-8, 2-7, 3-6, etc rotating format. Either play multiple games at several bowls or add say a Capital One and Outback bowl to the mix. In the grand scheme of things, you add only TWO games for the semi-finals week and you have a beautiful 8-team playoff mini-brackett. How is this not feasible? Oh, and sorry Hawaii. Join the Pac-10 if you want my respect.

Rose Ohio State vs Kansas Fiesta Oklahoma vs USC Orange Virginia Tech vs UGA Sugar LSU vs West Virginia

Being a rabid Dawg fan doesn’t mean you throw the obvious out the door. The flawed BCS bowl system begs for us to be in the championship game. Are we legitimately the 2nd best team in the nation? The current system can’t answer that but using its rules I can. We’ve earned the right to play working with the system we have.

You didn’t win your Division, you darn sure didn’t win your conference and you sure as heck only have the right to play in the BCS if somehow your conference Champ is cheated out of it. It’s a whole season that counts. As I recall last year, LSU was sitting where Georgia is now. They were by far the best team in the SEC at the end of the season. That didn’t count due to the whole season. Since you SEC folks say it takes a season Champ, you Georgia folks need to sit back and think #3. Unless of course the BCS would jump you and LSU to 1 and 2. Nope, won’t happen. I don’t like OU either so let’s hope the Okies wind up #5.

Georgia, although the highest ranked team in the SEC, was denied the chance to play in the SEC championship, because of a tiebreaker rule, so in actuality there needs to be a chance there. With, no playoff system, the two highest ranked teams in each conference, should play for the title, instead of division winners. If rankings mean anything, why not have them mean something then, instead of the last week of the season. That way things would be rightfully settled on the field, instead of the the chaos you have now.

Fifty bucks says LSU gets to play Ohio State in the NC game (The press has too much say so in the BCS and Miles/LSU will provide much more easy material over the next month than Richt and his young Dawgs). And 50 more says that Miles accepts the Michigan job the week after the NC game (maybe before). This year’s recruiting season is Michigan’s punishment for letting the cat out of the bag this week. And 50 more says if Georgia gets snubbed for the NC game, they will play in it next season. Hope it’s against Michigan.

Les Miles is pulling an Urban Crier and whining his way into the National Title Game…as always, the votes listen, and despite how the BCS is computed, the pollers will vote them #2, so they’ll get in and Georgia will not.

At no point has the Conference Championship ever appeared so meaningless. I would agree that a team should win their conference championship, if they get the opportunity to play in it. Georgia didn’t get that, so they should get the same consideration as Ohio State, who’s been idle for 2 weeks. They’re being rewarded for not playing a conference title, and Georgia is getting penalized.

You guys better hope you get in the title game,but not for all your reasoning. Of the three teams you could play, Ohio State is the only given win. You are so much better than them, however, playing a team that passes 70 times a game would certainly test your defense in the Sugar Bowl. The best match would be against USC in the Rose. I woulod really like to see that. What a game it would be. As to LSU’s uninspired performance against TN, just how did UGAG fare against TN and a poor SC team. Ga got killed by Tn at their place and LSU lost in 3 OT at Kentucky. LSU beat TN on an even site. Since all the top teams have lost, Who cares who plays who except for the schools of choice.

Georgia SHOULD play for the national title..I agree with the argument that if you don’t win your conference title you can’t win the national title, but everyone needs to go back and look at what happened in 2001 and 2003…It has happened TWICE before. Nebraska did not even play in the Big 12 title and went to the BCS game, and media darling Oklahoma got waxed by KState in the Big 12 title game and STILL went to play for the national title..You can’t change the rules because your team is not in there, it has happened before, and should happen again….GO DAWGS!!!

But Gump, that’s not the system that’s in place. it’s based on rankings. The problem is all the talk of division champions vs. rankings and how they affect each other. I think if they’re going to stick with rankings, they should do away with the conference champions. If the conference champions are going to affect rankings, then they should put all conference champions in a playoff and not even try to rank the teams. They need to pick one.

Look at the most important game of the season. GA’s biggest game and win came against Florida, when Florida’s QB was clearly hurt and ineffective. LSU’s biggest win clearly happened yesterday, against a vastly improved Tennessee team; a team that destroyed GA, but LSU won when it’s starting QB was on the pine. LSU is clearly the better team to me.

Face it people - the BCS will not put UGA in the title game when they did not even win their division.

Be happy with a BCS Bowl - that’s a big deal for us in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year. Let’s route for the SEC with LSU in the title game and watch out next year because the Dawgs will be the team to beat.

And to Scott’s argument about 2001 and 2003: the formula is different now in computing the rankings giving more points to winning the conference championship. Neither of those teams would have been in the BCS championship with today’s formula (according to ESPN). Sorry pups, wait until next year. Big 10 and Pac 10 need to man up and get 12 teams so they can have a championship game. It’s nice that OSU can sit back for 3 weeks while teams in front of them lose.

LSU will probably get the trip to the NC, BUT the new system should be that the SEC winner plays whatever team is otherwise ranked number one for the NC. To win the SEC a team has to have won as many as 9 SEC games. Making it nearly impossible for a SEC team to get to the NC. Imagine Ohio State, Michigan, or USC having to come on down and play 8 or 9 SEC games every year. LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!!!

The question for the voter is who would win if LSU and UGA played today. We use a poll system which is touted to rank the best teams. That is exactly what it has been over the last few weeks and now everyone wants to change the rules this week. LSU won the SECC because luck was on their side. If Arkansas doesn’t suck and beats Alabama and Kentucky then LSU doesn’t play in the title game. If a bunch of UT miracles don’t happen we would have beaten LSU yesterday. Getting to the title game has much more to do with other teams in your division than just what you do. Bottom line: If UGA and LSU played on a neutral field today (assume LSU did not just play yesterday) who wins? That should be the order you rank the teams.

Enough of the LSU lost in overtime arguements. IF you are going to use the close loss arguement then lets look at their wins as well. Barely beat UF and AU at home. Teams we handled easily. Lost to UK. A team we beat easily even with 4 turnovers. They beat tennessee who beat us easily. By my count, we win the same opponent game 3-1.

I do believe we will be skipped in the polls. But where was the outrage last Sunday when the BCS came out? I didn’t hear or read any posts from the idiots above arguing for LSU being ranked ahead of UGA b/c it was going to play in the title game and UGA wasn’t. You see, everybody knew at that time UGA was better than LSU and could vote as such. They thought UGA and LSU would both go to a BCS game so they could vote appropriately. Do you think we would be talking about LSU jumping UGA if PITT doesn’t win? Of course not. The reason we are talking about it now is the polls are a sham. It’s playoff time.

There is NO way UGA belongs in the Championship game. You lose by 20 to Tennessee and at home to South Carolina who is not even going to a bowl game.

LSU loses twice in triple overtime. Beats another BCS team (VA Tech) by 41. Loses their best defensive player on an illegal chop block. Wins the SEC Championship ame with their backup QB.

LSU played 8 teams who are going bowling while UGA played 6.

Who was UGA’s BIG non-conference game against? 7-5 Tech? 6-6 Oklahoma St? Not quite the same quality as Va Tech.

The school is in a BCS bowl game and is going to get millions of $$$, next time WIN your own division.

The next year OU won the Little 12 and got hammered to USC. These are still not good arguments for why UGA should not play for the NC. As it stands today, the polls would mean absolutely nothing if LSU or any teams jump over OSU and UGA. At any other time during the season, #s 3 & 4 would automatically move up to 1 & 2. College football is the only major sport that does not reward the teams that are playing well when it really counts. All these DAWG haters need to go complain on their teams’ blogs and shut the hell up. As crazy as this season has been, if the voters didn’t think UGA was the 4th best team in the country then the polls should have reflected such. I will answer the obvious question for all the haters as to why UGA is ranked 4th. Because they kept winning while everyone else kept losing. Bottom line is we’re deservedly ranked 4th after a tough season in the SEC. LSU should have beaten Arkansas then Miles would not have to put down other teams to prop up his squad. From what I saw in the SEC championship, LSU would not want any part of UGA. Although for conference pride, I hope they get healthy and beat the daylights out of OSU.

Yes, UGA should play Ohio State. Why do the ESPN talking heads think it’s OK for Ohio State to play in the BCS title game while they were idle and UGA should not? Why should UGA be penalized for not playing? Yeah, I know LSU won the SEC, with 2 loses! AND LSU is glad they did not play UGA. Bottom line, UGA is ranked # 3 by the polls, like Ohio State is ranked # 2 by the same polls. The BCS system is a joke anyway until the NCAA goes to some type of playoff. So the current system is mainly the talking heads choosing who they think should be in the BCS game!!! Well, if the polls mean anything at all , then let the current 2 and 3 rise to 1 and 2 and play ! ! ! !

There is no way a team that is not a conference champ should play for the National Championship. Only a Dawg fan would think otherwise. Please stop being a homer. If it was Fla or Tenn in this position you would pitching a fit! The SEC is the best conference in the country and the champ would be better than UGA or Kansas or Va Tech or OK. Teams that do not play get jumped all the time. It will be LSU vs OSU. Both teams handled their business unlike UGA

As a consolation prize we get to see Jim Tressel kick the crap out of The Hat. Les Miles has done as little with as much as I have ever seen. He will screw the pooch in the NCG despite the fact his team is much better. I’m glad he is staying at LSU. I was afraid they would hire someone good.

Coach Richt got it right last night: we were ranked #4 when the voters knew at that time that we would not win our conference. How can we be ranked #4 in the country last week when the voters knew we not even make it to the title game yet now are not deserving?

Second, LSU does not deserve a shot. The rules do not require a team to win their conference to go. Also, LSU lost to an unranked team exactly 9 days ago. Further, any arguments hanging on the fact that LSU beat Tenn and we lost to Tenn must fail. The flipside of this is that we layed the hammer down on KY, where LSU coudln’t get anything going in that game.

What a mess the BCS is. Georgia vs. Ohio State. Has there ever been two less deserving teams playing for the title? Georgia is a good team, but they did not win their conference. And, Ohio State, give me a break! This team is not as good as last year team. Until the Little Ten becomes a competetive conference, you might as well pencil Ohio State into the title game every year. Rename it the Ohio State National Title game. Ohio State would be middle of the pack in any other confernce. Oklahoma looked great last night. So did USC. LSU is right behind them. All won their conferences. Choose between those three. Va. Tech. They lost to LSU…big!

Thad - the BCS does have a choice and UGA aint it. UGA wasnt playing yesterday. Why? Because they couldnt win their conference division. Besides losing to SC and Tennessee, the dogs escaped with a last minute win at BAMA and Vandy. The fact that UGA made it to the top 4 is a fluke based on emotion of the coaches. Rational thought will set in an jump your conference winner, LSU, over you. Win your games next year and take the decision out of the pollsters hands.

If I am not mistaken, UGA had the same conference record as LSU this season. Effectively UGA tied for the SEC title based upon the entire season. If the SEC was like the BIG 10 or Pac 12 and there was no “Championship” game, UGA would be equal to LSU in conference record. UGA did win their conference, they lost the tiebreaker.

There is a much flawed system in place for determining the national champion, but it is the system. Now, after a year of upsets,the flaws have been exposed and all the talk now is to get rid of the system and place the team that you “THINK” should play. Georgia should move into number two and play. If that is not acceptable, change the system. But do it at the “start” of the year. I don’t remember that being a division champion was one of the criteria! Where’s that written? I think that it has always been assumed that the current situation could not happen. We need a play off system. Imagine that a 12th or 15th place team could thread it’s way into a national championship at the end of a season all because it played ball when it counted and not because a bunch of sports “experts” dictated the matchups!

This garbage about a team not winning it’s conference is tiring. I could understand if it was a BCS rule but it’s not, and there needs to be some consistency. Either every conference have a championship game or none of them. The fact is Georgia was “Co Champions” of the East. And if you want to compare losses, one thing people need to remember. At one point this season, SEC teams were like 11-0 in Conference play coming off of a bye week and that is when we got Tennessee. This is no time to change the way you vote. Nebraska played Miami in the NC after not even playing for their conference championship and Oklahoma got to play LSU after getting drummed by Kansas State. It would be more of an injustice for LSU to jump 5 spots to number 2 than allowing Georgia in the game.

I don’t think it is even as much about winning the conference as the fact that LSU beat a Top 15 team yesterday on a neutral field with a ton of key players not healthy.

Funny how fans never seem to complain when on an off week they move up in the polls, but when they stand to get passed the screaming starts.

How many ranked teams did LSU play? 6 and UGA, only 4. I can only laugh at UGA people on here saying that they would destroy LSU if the played them. Who’s given up more points in the season? UGA. Who’s put up more points in the season. Answer is….wait for it…LSU. Couldn’t even win your own division (oh wait, your Co SEC east champs.

Lane Tucker, third place in the division wouldn’t even be an issue if they relied on the ‘season-long playoff’ system instead of the rankings. We’d be the 3rd team and out of the race and that would be that… so if there were no rankings (where Georgia is #4.. ahead of both LSU and UT)then your argument would carry more weight.. but the voters have already said we’re better than both of those teams, despite the fact that we didn’t go to the SEC Championship.

We’re a better team now than we were beginning of the season. Can’t say the same about LSU & UT. We have the same number (or less) losses than they do. If UT would have won (and they would have if Ainge hadn’t turned the ball over).. they wouldn’t have jumped UGA.. so why should LSU?

Hey Reality you want to play that game? Ok, LSU had trouble with TN last night until the fourth quarter. LSU did not have trouble with SC? 28-16 is pretty close to me! LSU’s two losses…they allowed over 40 points. 43-37 against Kentucky and 50-48 against Arkansas. That’s 46.5 points allowed. Georgia’s average points allowed during their loss was 25.5 and oh by the way, those were earlier in the season. I sure would hate to see a team that allowed that many points when they were defeated to represent the SEC nor do I want to see an SEC team which had two chances at the NC to blow it. Lastly, check out the strength of schedule in this link. To say that LSU is deserving of the NC is ridiculous!!! Strength of Schedule click here

Georgia in the national championship?! Ha! What a joke…other than a win over a mediocre Florida squad what have they done to deserve a shot? Heck, Hawaii and Kansas could lay equal claims given mediocrity of schedule as a route to a national championship. LSU and Oklahoma are the two teams that have the credentials to meet, but only with a playoff of ONLY conference champions would a true national champion be crowned.

The more I hear all the debating by the sportswriters the more hopeless it seems there will ever be a playoff system in division 1-A football. If all goes according to how the ESPN people feel, then wins and losses at the end of the season mean nothing. Just because LSU and the Vols finished ahead of Georgia in the SEC they are some how better at this momoent and time. So in their view even though LSU lost just a week ago they really should have never fallen past Georgia or Virginia Tech in the BCS, maybe even staying in the 1 or 2 spot at that. The Vols, even though they got trashed by Cal and Bama and have 4 losses, should be ranked higher in the BCS rankings because they won the tie breaker in the East. This is truly madness and I believe its exactley what the sportswriters want to be able to pick who THEY want to see play the big game……not who truly is the 2 best teams at the end of the season. BE READY AMERICA GEORGIA WILL BE A MONSTER NEXT YEAR AND THERE WILL BE NO-DOUBT THIS TIME NEXT YEAR. We’re def waiting for you Vols to step into Athens!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love UGA - don’t get me wrong - but I’m not sure we deserve a shot this year. Our year is coming - either 08 or 09. We got blown out by Tenn and played sorry against SC.

Just be patient dawg fans…our is coming we can hope.

All I can say about LSU is fool me once shame on you- fool me twice shame on me- They don’t deserve 3rd shot at No. 1. Let UGA or even Oklahoma have the chance.

Lou Holtz and Mark May make me sick. They throw Ohio St. into #1 with one loss in a patsy schedule and that’s all the analysis they give OSU. Then they spend WAY more energy justifying why Georgia should not go because they didn’t go to the SEC championship. So, I guess being ranked 4th in the country in the BCS really doesn’t mean anything. But being ranked 3rd in the BCS does. I’m sorry, I don’t follow the logic. If UGA can get jumped, so can OSU.

It really is quite simple. Teams that do not win their conference championship … much less their conference division should not be playing in the BCS Championship Game.

Georgia should get the nod. If Georgia had played that LSU team yesterday, there is little doubt by anyone that GA would have won. LSU didn’t even look like a team that should play for a national title. They haven’t for a time now.

You could play this who beat who all day. LSU should have lost to FL, whom GA beat. They lost to KY, which GA did beat. GA is penalized because they lost to a TN team that was at home and had to two weeks to prepare for GA because they were coming off a bye week. GA just happened to play their worst game that day and TN picked that day to play there best.

The best team (GA) has already been screwed once by not playing in the SEC Title game. Don’t do it again. The BCS National Title game should have the two BEST teams play. If it really matterd about being your conference champ, the BCS brain trust would have changed that rule back when NE played for the title a few years ago.

Put some sanity on this insane season.

UGA and LSU is a toss up. The question is whom should they play. OSU is a joke. What a sham of a schedule they play. Their premier win of the year was against a team that App State beat on their (Michigan’s) home field. The BCS should penalize OSU for playing three patsie games as they did. Oklahoma and USC are more deserving than OSU.

Buckeyes don’t deserve to be playing for the championship.

On current form, it should be Georgia vs USC. They are the two best teams right now and will provide a scintillating display.

As a Gator fan, you know I hate the Muttleys. Nevertheless, if UGA gets snubbed it will be a travesty of justice. Other non-conference champions have played in the NC game so the precedent is already set.

OSU should NOT be rewarded for playing such weak schedule year in and year out. The Big 10 sucks, we all know it, and doesn’t prepare a team for a quality opponent. I’d rather see Kansas (11-1) play for the title than OSU, or maybe against OSU if weenie schedules don’t matter, as is apparently true. I’d like to see any of these teams play an SEC schedule: including Oklahoma, VA Tech, USC, OSU, Michigan, Kansas… Until Dickson got hurt, Oregon was the best in the Pac 10.

An 8 or 16-team playoff, using the current bowls as neutral sites, is absolutely a must. The morons who claim this “system” is superior because it generates controversy probably also like intercourse without orgasms. Idiots.

The BCS has had several opportunities to state that a team has to win the conference to be considered, yet they haven’t. Therefore UGA should not be penalized for it especially when there are conferences that still don’t play one.
