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.

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.

Just heard CMR on ESPN - class. He makes great arguments for keeping the Dawgs on track. Look, in a season like this, with no dominant teams, you are going to have some ticked off people. 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!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Take another team that lost twice as well. Both in triple ot. They won their division and their conference championship.

Take a third team and they are the only undefeated team in the country.

No offense, Dawg nation, but the whole “we’re hot right now” argument is bunk. The NC should be decided by a team’s body of work throughout the entire season, not just the last 6 weeks. And face it, even if the BCS doesn’t specifically require a conf champ for the NC game, its hard to justify NOT using one.

You can criticize Ohio State all you want, and I have no dog in that fight (no pun intended), but you can’t say that “Ohio State sucks” or that the Big Ten sucks based on last year’s game. How many national titles does Ohio State from the sucky Big Ten have?

And if you want to argue “two best teams,” then throw out the rankings…I can’t even see the Dawgs beating Oklahoma right now, but no one is mentioning them.

In typical ESPN fashion, their announcers believe their opinions mean something. I mean this is the organization that attempts to make celebrities out of geeky announcers. How about just reporting the facts of the game and not a biased commentary. Someone needs to question Ohio State. They did nothing. They defeated one ranked team. Wow! They placed in the game last year and got killed. The people up north don’t realize the difference in talent. Look at history: Peyton Manning loses the big trophy to Charles Woodson. What a joke. Auburn dominates college football and is denied. ESPN jumps on the bandwagons for UCONN, the Bearcats, and Ohio State. What about Michigan’s big lose to App State. The south has better teams. That is a fact, but we get screwed by biased fools from the north such as Ohio State’s Kirk Herbstreit. Yes, he attended the school. I realize that UGA will not get a shot because we pay in a real conference. How does a team get selected to the NCAA basketball tournament? Mostly by strength of schedule and quality wins. How many ranked teams did UGA defeat this year? What about LSU? What about Ohio State? It is a big joke when a 7th ranked team that lost a few days ago to an unranked team at home jumps to 2nd. Why not 1st? If you are going to allow jumps like that then you have to push up Oklahoma. They defeated the Number 1 team in America twice and they are their conference champion. LSU beat an average UT team. You can’t use the conference championships because not all teams use the same format. This is a joke.

I’m a long-time Dawg watcher, but most comments are based on emotion and that local supporters would like to see their team on TV competing for the championship. However, if the shoe were on the other foot, you alreay know what the same supporters would be saying. For example, if Alabama had had a different season with other teams and were being favored to play for the national title, the same DAWG fans would be screaming that they don’t deserve it because UGA beat them. Look at it…..we didn’t even win our Division within the conference. We got the ever living crap beat out of us by Tennessee because we failed to mentally show up for the game. That same Tennessee team got beat by LSU. So we’re third in that pecking order. Besides, I’ve watched all the other QB’s and I’ve watched Stafford. Stafford is decent, but he’s no GREAT quarterback. Watching Hawaii’s QB last week on TV showed me what a brillant QB he is. We know how good Tebow is, too. There are lots of others, many in the SEC, who are much better than Stafford. Ask the unbiased pro-scouts and they will tell you the same thing. UGA manages to win games, but it’s not because of the brillance of the QB. Somehow I don’t get it when CMR says that Stafford is one of the most talented QB’s he has coached. I’ll never understand why he says that.

UGA is a good team but not a great team….at least not THE greatest this year.

So who should be in the national title game???? Beats the heck out of me. Guess nobody will really know until we get some kind of play off system in place.

We killed a trophy elephant called Roll Tide. Didn’t we play many of these current LSU tigers a couple of years ago in the championship game? Jeff Owens killed Russell. Yes, we dominated them. We defeated the Dog fighting Vickless Hokies last year in the bowl game. Oh we, tied down the Cowboys with the “best offense in college football”. Shhhh. Troy had a better offense.

They absolutely would and that is exactly why Georgia should get its chance to play, because going into last night, they were the undisputed #4 team in the nation and #1 and #2 lost.

UGA is the hottest team in the country. We were supposed to lose to Florida, Auburn, and Tech, but our defense is one of the hottest, and with Moreno/Brown/Stafford having their confidence up, we can beat any team in the country. Bring it. OSU vs. UGA in the BCS championship.

If the BCS wants to retain any integrity at all this season, it will move Ohio State and Georgia up to nos. 1 and 2 for the national championship. If Ohio State can sit out for two weeks and move into the national championship, then why should Georgia be penalized for not playing in the SEC Championship? LSU has lost its games recently, while Georgia is playing its best football of the year right now. The BCS is always complicated, but voters should choose the simple choice and put the Ohio State and Georgia in the national championship. (And if they don’t, please let us play in the Rose Bowl against USC!)

Georgia does not deserve a shot at the title. First how can the NCAA justify to an undefeated Hawaii that a 2-loss team that didn’t win their conference deserves a shot over them. I know what you’re gonna say “Hawaii has a weak schedule”. Well hasnt the current mess of the BCS shown us that regardless of who you play its hard to win every game. I mean in a year of monumental upsets (Stanford over USC and App State over Michigan) shouldn’t the one team who didnt get upset deserve to be there. Not only that but they remained undefeated when their best player (Colt Brennan) was sidelined for two games. It won’t happen but they deserve to be there more than GA. Another argument you have is you’re playing the best ball in the country. I think most analysts would say that you aren’t. They would most likely say USC is playing the best ball. If the dogs dont go to the title game and end up in the rose bowl USC will most definitely would be favored probably by more than a touchdown. Next you make points that two teams who didn’t win their conference have made it to the title game. While thats true doesn’t that give Kansas a better arguement than you? They only have one loss versus your two. My last point is how can anyone justify giving Georgia a shot at being the best team in the country when they weren’t even the best team in their division let alone their conference?

with no team really stepping up and dominating the opposition,except for the boys from the aloha state, it is a popularity contest now.osu is probably in,only because they are osu and always get votes.i think usc may move ahead of lsu because they are hot right now,won their conference,and always get votes.this system is pathetic and should be scrapped.i just hope uga is not bumped all the way out of the bcs and dropped into the second tier without losing a game.i don’t think the ncaa wants a play-off system,so let’s end the charade and let the sportswritters decide if they want a”national champion”.no matter who is”elected”champion there will be howls of protest,and that is a good thing!hopefully this will bring the joke called the bcs to an end.

I don’t have time to read almost 700 whining mutts crying in their wheaties so I apologize if I am repeating what has already been said. At best uga is 3rd in the SEC. The arguments of “non-conference winners in NCAABB winning NC’s” doesn’t float in this case. NCAABB has a PLAYOFF, in case you haven’t noticed. If there were a playoff in FB then you would have your chance. And as long as the corporate world has $millions$ in bowl games there will be NO PLAYOFF in NCAAFB. I will agree that uga is incredibly hot right now and could probably beat most teams in any given bowl. But BCS bowl games are political. At this point uga has no political power because they can’t say “We won the SEC.” LSU can say that while daring you to knock them off the mountain. UGA did not win when they HAD to. LSU did. So, losing early or late has no bearing in this instance. If they play next year like they are playing now, uga should be preparing for their trip to the NC game. As for this year a cliche comes to mind… “so close but yet so far away.”

The polesters voted the dawgs number 4 ahead of LSU and Tenn knowing they would not be playing for the conference championship. What has changed now that should put LSU ahead of Georgia. I was not impressed with LSU or Tenn in the championship game and think that Georgia now could beat either team. This was a very young team that started the season with a close loss to South Carolina who I belive was ranked and playing very good ball at the time and a loss to tenn which has no excuses. The second half of the season Georgia’s young players grew up and beat some very good teams in Florida and Auburn and are now playing as good as anybody in the country. YES GEORGIA DESERVES THAT CHANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ga. won the last six of their games. LSU lost two of their last six games. To one team (Kentucy) Ga. manhandled all game. Ga. destroyed Fl. and Auburn which almost beat LSU. LSU lost their last game of the season to a unranked team that can’t throw. If anybody show be a hopeful for the title game it should be Ohio State since they only played one ranked team and LOST. Georgia should be a lock for the title game given their schedule and performance in their last six games. If LSU goes ahead of Ga. it will be a joke. All these so called experts are same pinheads that said Pitt would lose by five touchdowns last nite and OS would stomp Fl. in last year’s title game. No one and I mean NO ONE deserves to go to the title game more than Georgia! I hope all Dawg fans boycott what ever bowl game they send us to if it’s not the title game.

We should win it all because the two losses this year don’t really count since the season only started for real in November. And SEC championships don’t count for anything, which is why Dawggies NEVER bring up their past conference championships. But the main reason is because we like to sing and dance to that Soulja Boy song that celebrates the Superman sex act. If that doesn’t scream class, nothing does.

Ok, here’s the skinny. Georgia and USC are the two best teams in college football as of today. GA has absolutely WRECKED every opponent since the Vandy escape. They have jelled, play great and agressive on defense, they have two absoulte studs at the skill positions in Matt Stafford and Knowshon Moreno (one of these guys will win a Heisman before they leave Athens), and! The receivers are actually catching the ball this year! LSU barely beat Auburn, UGA blew them out! LSU barely beat Florida, UGA blew them out!…They barely beat TN who blew GA out but was also blown out by UF and Bama, whom UGA beat. As of today, UGA would beat any team they face including USC (especaially if they rock those Black jerseys again)…But, seriously. Its not their fault they got ranked where they got ranked…they were not ranked 4th in the BSC with the exception of this scenario happening so they should move up. LSU should not sniff the BCS Title Game, they lost to KY and Arkansas and gave up 40 + points in each game. They barely beat a clearly inferior TN team that pretty much won the East by default. No one in their right mind can say that LSU is better than UGA at this very moment because if they both played UGA would win in a blowout. Hopefully UGA will get a #2 Ranking in the AP poll so when a VERY INFERIOR Ohio State squad loses to LSU in the title game GA will at least get a split of the National Championship.

YOU UGA fans are crazy if you think you are going to the national championship game. All you site the past with two teams that went to the big game even though they didn’t win thier conference title. Those were years that the country screamed bad BCS resulting in a modification of the BCS formula. Had the currect formula been used back then, those two teams would not have played in the NC game (according to ESPN this morning).

For you rabid fans, the good news is that since LSU will play Ohio State in the NC game, UGA will also goto New Orleans to play Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl. That would be fun to see if UGA can stop the Hawaii offensive machine. Let’s see if UGA can beat the only undefeated team in the nation!

By G. Jefferson

December 2, 2007 10:57 AM | Link to this

We need either the BCS game or the Rose Bowl. If we got to the Sugar, the we play Hawaii. Freakin’ Hawaii. I would rather Georgia sit out of playing a bowl game at all than play Hawaii. Hawaii is not a reward for a season well played. Hawaii is a punishment. If UGA beats Hawaii, what will all the pinheads in the national media say? “No surprise, UGA is from a much tougher conference.” But if Hawaii would win, it would be the biggest win in the history of their program. Any REAL team has nothing to gain from playing Hawaii, while for Hawaii the game would be like the Super Bowl, World Series, and Second Coming all rolled into one. If I would have known last night, when I was screaming my head off at phantom holding calls in the Pitt-WVU game, that if the impossible would happen UGA would get mugged like this I would have flown to WV and cut off my own thumb to donate to Pat White. To think just last week I was complaining about UGA getting rooked out of the Rose and having to play VT again. I would take VT right now in a heartbeat.

Many of the comments above for and against UGA are correct, but under the weird NC rules we have, UGA deserves to go just as much as anyone else. UGA won 6 in a row and worked its way up through the polls to #4 and deserve to be moved up to #2 now.

If UGA gets screwed by some voting trick, then it only has itself to blame for losing two games.

What is really unbelievable is how Ohio State is even being discussed. The comment above about the “Ohio State National Title Game” is right on the money. The current system stinks for alot of reasons but one of those is the ranking of teams because of what their name is, rather than how good they really are.

OSU did win all but 1 of their regular season games, but that only included 1 top 25 team. They went last year and were embarrassed by UF (SEC).

This whole scenario is great. Regardless of the outcome, this ridiculous system is getting exposed. I just read some comments by Mark Richt and he gave a pretty solid argument. Now, I am a Georgia student and fan, but this is not about me stating Georgia’s case for the title game. But the logic is solid. The voters and the computers had us No.4. They knew we would not be playing for our conference title when they put us there. The rankings system is devised to inevitably decide the national champion. What purpose does it serve to rank a team number 4 if you only plan on jumping them with other teams during a bye week. I understand the “not playing for conference title” logic. But if the voters and computers put that much stock in it, Georgia should have been ranked behind VT,OU,and LSU going INTO this weekend.

Regardless of the outcome, both the BCS system and the rankings system have been exposed as arbitrary and idiotic. As a Georgia fan, I’m hoping for a miracle but I’m not expecting it.

Why is Ohio State such a lock? You can’t reward teams for playing patsy non-conference schedules. If the BCS was to leave Ohio State out, it would force teams to schedule tougher opponents. Then, the regular season would truly be a playoff.

LSU, USC and Oklahoma would all be favored over Ohio State. Georgia would probably be a pick ‘em.

I find it hilarious of how many think that just because you are 4 and 1 and 2 lose then you should be 2. It is not simple math you dufus’. The BCS formula is about as complicated as it gets. Here is how this will work…The human factor will make sure Ga doesn’t get into the NC game. The pollsters will not allow a team that can’t win its own division to play in the NC again. Ga will drop in the human polls and will probably stay 4th in the BCS…maybe 3. As long Ga doesn’t get in I will be happy!!

Since The AP Poll is not part of the BCS anymore could they rank Georgia #2 in today’s Poll and if #1 eventually loses, then crown Georgia with their #1 ranking and mythical national title after all the Bowls ?????? I fully expect a lot of crazy voting to occur today among the USA Today Coaches poll and the Harris Poll along with the Computer polls, but since the AP elected NOT to be part of the BCS any longer this would give them a great opportunity to “stick” it to the BCS and create more CONTROVERSY with SPLIT Champions.

The Dawgs can make a legitimate claim as anyone to play in the NC. But at the end of the day, the ONLY WAY to have an irrefutable argument is to win them all. Otherwise, it’s just “our two losses are no worse than your two losses.”

Funny how everyone hates that UGA may get skipped, but yet it is “obvious” that they are the best team in the country right now.

The whole thing is worthless. If UGA goes and wins, then they are the national champions and the system stinks. If they don’t go, and LSU or VT or OSU or whoever wins, then the system still stinks.

Either way, can someone (the sponsors, ESPN, NCAA, university presidents or whoever) please figure out that 100+ teams CANNOT play 13 or 14 games, not have any of the same opponents or a playoff and yet have consensus on a national champion.

The BCS is worthless. Either get rid of it and go back to voting or give us a tournament.

And for those of you arguing that Conference championships aren’t a criteria, you’re right. However, an LSU or VT team with 1 more win against another ranked opponent at the end of the season is worth considering. As I said before, it SHOULDN’T matter but WILL it matter? Probably.

Georgia should move to number three. LSU won the SEC championship against a team that beat Georgia by 21 points. Georgia lost to South Carolina a 6-6 team. LSU lost to two teams in triple overtime. Both teams had winning records. Georgia had a good year but not a championship year. How can a team play for a national championship when they cannot even win their division?

No, we do not deserve it. But neither does LSU, Oklahoma, USC, Kansas, or VT. This is beyond hilarious. The BCS is a crock.

I do not believe the voters will let us in, but I think they owe us an explanation as to why they ranked us #4 to begin with knowing we hadn’t won the division and couldn’t win the conference. Why? The polls will have absolutely ZERO credibility if they jump all these teams over us. Not that they had much credibility to begin with.

I’ll just be happy with a BCS at large bid, which seems about guaranteed at this point.

To me, whoever gets in and wins the “title” game will just be a paper tiger champion. With the way this year has gone, there is nobody that is head and shoulders above the crowd. Teams that don’t play in the confrence should not not be penalized, but at the same time…teams that win the conf. title game should be rewarded (poll wise). LSU and Ohio State do not look like the best teams in my eyes right now. Ugag, USC, OU ,and maybe even VT, look like the hottest teams right now. Granted VT got waxed early this season by LSU…but that was early this season. It would be a very close game now. They should get a pass on that game just as uga gets on Tennessee. OU looked impressive last night, but maybe to little to late. If USC and ugag get matched up in the Rose, the winner in my mind, would be the best team in the country…..”doesn’t matter”

All those Techies who play in the liitle league known as the ACC should think about this, it took the Dogs at least 5 games for the freshmen to grow up enough to compete in the best conference there is. OSU and USC and those other so called great teams ahem Boston College wouldn’t get out of the SEC with a .500 record. Not only should the Dogs get a chance but they are the best in the land ar this time of year. However I know those South haters won’t let it happen. The powers that be set the BSC system up several years ago and when the first situation arose when LSU lambasted OSU a few years back they denied LSU the National Title and still today USC is recognized by those same powers that be as the national champion. If the Dogs played OSU they probably would embarass them like good ole FU did last year. When the media darlings began to fall away, USC and THE LOSING iRISH, they had to establish a new darling and since OSU had played a midget league schedule they hadn’t been beat yet, the same way with this Missouri team which showed its true colors last night

I will tell you I’m a Vols fan to put things into perspective. I think UGA is the hottest team in the conference right now and one of the best. Unfortunately for Georgia, Ainge threw their title hopes away last night with a terrible performance. Also, you have to look at the losses that UGA and LSU have. LSU lost two games in triple overtime and have not suffered a loss in regulation. UGA lost to a bad South Carolina team and somehow got blown out by Tennessee. The Tennessee game was probably a fluke but it still has to be considered. I think head to head UGA would be LSU but taking the entire season into account, the losses, and the fact that LSU is the conference champion the nod has to go to LSU. You’ve had a great season Dawgs and I think a bowl victory could secure a #2 spot for you. By the way, that was hard for me to admit!lol

Dawgs may be the hottest team right now. Same could be said for USC. Remember all the howling when Auburn went 13-0 and didn’t get its shot?

I know it’s not their rault their schedule was horrible, but they didn’t even look good winning games against terrible teams. They certainly deserve a BCS game, but not the National Championship.

There are four reasons LSU should jump UGA 1) LSU has played more games and won more games. 2)Gergia lost to two unranked teams and LSU beat both of those teams (Tenn and S. Carolina) 3)LSU has only lost in overtime games. 4)There are four other teams with the same record (VT, Oklahoma, Arizona St, and USC) and two with a better one(KU and Ohio).

Don’t get me wrong I would love UGA to jump Ohio (Ohio has had any easy schedule) but so many people love those Buckeyes for whatever reason. But if UGA goes why not Kansas, USC, or Oklahoma. People who say naturally the next teams in line should move up have not watched the rankings. Teams jump teams all the time that is what make the BCS so horrible or interesting. We should have a playoff or force top teams play more out of conference games against other top teams.

Whatever team goes I just hope it is an SEC team. SEC is the best!!!

By Diego

LSU deserves to be #2. Yes, winning a conference championship matters. Being the ‘hottest’ team doesn’t. USC and UGA aren’t going to be so hot when the game isn’t for another 4-5 weeks. Besides, if the roles were reversed, Dawg fans would be upset if their accomplishment went unnoticed. VT is eleminated because LSU beat them. USC shouldn’t get the jump because we all know the PAC-10 is a weak conference. This leaves Oklahoma. A Ohio State/Oklahoma National Championship would be boring. So the Tigers should get the nod.

If the bowl commitee is smart they’ll just the other bowl games correctly. I like TONY BARNHART’s predictions except make it UGA/USC. It’ll be dubbed the Jaded Bowl. Illionis/Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl.

If Georgia and LSU met on a neutral field Saturday, December 8th, Georgia would win in my opinion. LSU’s conference championship has no relevance to this comparison. They didn’t play Georgia so there is no way to tell if they are the better team. The way the respective teams have been playing of late I think Georgia would handle LSU convincingly. Nevertheless, the media is hellbent on getting LSU in that title game and we all know they usually get their way. Its ashamed that a sport as great as college football has to put up with this.

NO UGA should not even be in the question for the title game, if you do not win your conference championship how could you be considered the national champion it does not matter how hot your team is now, because if we went by that then why play the games in the beginning of the season if they do not matter, USC should not have a case either because they lost to Stanford. It should not be Kansas for the same reason as UGA , they did not win there conference, therefore that leave LSU and Oklahoma. LSU won the toughest conference’s crown while Oklahoma knocked off the former #1 team twice, but lost to 2 unranked opponents. So I say LSU over all the rest even VT cause they beat them.

First Richt should lobby like any coach should. The dividends would be enomous.

But hs argument is flawed. Per his aurgument, the ‘two hottest teams’ should play so what he’s saying is let’s not start the polls until the next to last game in the season. In other words nothing prior to the last 2 weeks in the season should matter. Like somethng as little as WINNING YOUR OWN CONFERENCE. How can you say you’re the best in the country if you’re NOT the best in your own conference.

National Championship is about the season and not restricted to who’s hot and who’s not.

LSU has more wins than UGA and the same number of losses. UGA may be a division “co-champion” but they weren’t the ones playing on Saturday. It has nothing to do with saying “you must win a conference to play in the BCS.” Georgia had a great year and they may be a victim of the system, but they sat at home an watched while LSU won the SEC Championship and got their 11th win of the season.

Well, the AP just came out and UGA is still 4th behind Ohio State, LSU and Oklahoma… This is crap! When else during the season were teams jumped over because they were off that week?!? Once again, Herbstreit’s wonder boys make the NC game because they have a cheerleader every Saturday morning on ESPN! LSU I can see, but I just don’t get Ohio State being there. Whatever - get a playoff in status before long or this kind of chaos will continue to plague the league and tarnish any National Champion! By the way, the Sugar is great and we’ll take it - but seriously - against Hawaii? They spanked Washington last night but that was at home and those Huskies were dying from the heat and humidity! Really… Let’s go DAWGS!!!

Though I would prefer the DAWGS over any other contenders emotionally, logically they don’t deserve it.
I hate one and done championship, but if you are to have them, then first rule is you must win your conference championship. Georgia can’t even claim an outright division win, Tennessee was 5-1 in the East, but Georgia is the better team, so go figure it all out. This year has changed the definition of upset and proven that parity has come to college football. One and done only tells us who may have played better under the conditions, had fewer injuries, didn’t get screwed by a very bad officials call (Miami) and etc. for that one game only.
Until there is a way to have a best of 3 at the minimum, we have to live with what we got, besides it leads to some very good debates.

Herbstreet is such a homer! “OSU should get in for sure but I don’t know about the other team!” What a load of garbage. OSU got embarassed last year by an SEC team and he knowns Georgia is the hottest team in the country now so he was lobbying hard last night for a weaker LSU team with an injured second string QB.

I’ve heard the argument that we don’t have a playof which makes every game a playoff game. If that’s true then LS-who lost there playoff game last week. Georgia won their playoff game last week.

Dawgs play in the BCS Championship or this whole system is worthless and nothing more than a popularity contest. How does OSU remain #1 with that pitiful schedule? Who did they beat in their conference championship? Nobody!

Here is why UGA should:

Usually when the top teams lose, the teams ranked below them all move up together. So should be the same in this case.*

But some pass the others.

If LSU can jump us, why can’t we jump OSU? Look, they played ONE team in the top 25 and LOST. Compare that to UGA’s schedule.

Ohio State lost to an unranked team. And they played not one but FOUR teams in the Top 25. Michigan, Penn State, Wisconsin, and Purdue. They SCHOOLED all of them. So before you little six year olds post, make sure you know what you are talking about.

We keep hearing those who don’t want a playoff say, “Every wek is a playoff, don’t lose late.” Well, LSU lost their last game of the season at HOME against a team who cannot throw the ball. According to the “logic”, they blew their chance.

But most people want a playoff system so your point is invalid. That means not right.

I think that UGA should play in the national championship game for a few reasons.

• 4-0 against ranked teams
• one of only two teams(the other being West Virginia) in the top ten to play 7 bowl eligible teams
• The only team in the national title consideration who didn’t lose in November(last loss Oct. 6th).

Thats my opinion. I feel like they’ve been the best football team in the country for the past 6 weeks. In the end they put themselves in this position by not taking care of there own business. If we could just have that South Carolina game back!! GO DAWGS!!!

Thank goodness, otherwise, Michigan would have been in the championship game last year.

Yes, I know Georgia is one of the hottest teams right now, but the Bulldogs didn’t win the SEC championship, much less the SEC East. So the Dawgs doesn’t deserve to play in New Orleans.

So my picks are Ohio State vs. LSU. Oklahoma doesn’t make it because of their schedule and Virginia Tech doesn’t get in because LSU beat the crap out of them in Week 2 48-7. Hawaii doesn’t make it because of their schedule as well.

“The top two teams in the BCS standings, Missouri and West Virginia, lost Saturday night. Should Georgia, fourth in the BCS, get a shot at playing No. 3 Ohio State for the national title…”

The AJC just answered this question for themselves when they posted this topic. PURE LOGIC shows that if #1 and #2 lose, then #3 and #4 replace them. This is not difficult. Mark Richt hit the nail on the head last night when he said that the voters/polls put Georgia at #4 last week for a reason. Georgia has done nothing to deserve to fall or to have anyone jump ahead of them. THERE IS NO RULE THAT STATES THAT A TEAM HAS TO WIN ITS CONFERENCE IN ORDER TO GO TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! So that is not a valid argument!!! Also, had Mizzou and WV won, there is no way that this discussion of LSU, VT, OU, or USC jumping Georgia would even be going on. The pollsters are just trying to keep Georgia out of it. The polls should be cast based on who deserves what ranking, not based on the game in which that ballot will place a certain team.

Exactly Rebecca J, why is the poll configured differently because we essentially had a bye week? Any other week of the season, we move up and don’t get bypassed. If by rule, conference championships don’t figure in, then why do the voters allow it? Tennessee going to the SEC Champ. is a perfect example. They had more losses than Georgia, regardless of conf. schedule. That’s what kept them ranked lower. Overall Win / losses don’t figure in to a conference championship, so why should a conference championship figure into a BCS ranking?

Answer: it shouldn’t. If it had, then it would have been Georgia playing LSU, and LSU would have gotten beat.

The BCS is based on overall rankings to put the two best teams in the championship game. It is not based on conference championships. Plain and simple. May as well watch ice skating and let the pollsters say who’s the best. Evidently we don’t need a game to make that determination.

Every game counts in the BCS standings. So, when Georgia didn’t play and LSU did, LSU’s results will and should affect their ranking. Winning the SEC SHOULD AFFECT THEIR RANKING SIGNIFICANTLY. It’s the stringest conference in the country.

This is a STUPID argument.

I hope he learns that class does go a long way when you have to do public relations to get your team into the championship game. The BCS voters do remember and do not want that kind prank played out in the top college game.

It sure didn’t look like the strongest conference yesterday…LSU and Tennessee both looked weak. It was an ugly game. Maybe the SEC wasn’t what it was cracked up to be. LSU is lucky they won’t play Oklahoma or USC. OSU isnt any better than LSU I suspect that game will be about as bad as the SEC game yesterday turned out to be. Too bad USC, OU, VT, and UGA will all be in different bowls; now no one will have a convincing win in a bowl to allow the AP to split the thing.

Keep your spirt up Dawgs. Great season and for that reward you get to go to a BCS bowl. It would have been nice to land in the National Championship game but that is ok. What Georgia needs to do is get ready for whatever bowl game they go to and play their butts off, because the first game of the 2008 season starts with this game. You can make a statement as to where you deserve to be next year. You have mission, stay focused and it will be even greater next year. Then see if ESPN and its cronies can screw you out of what you deserve.

The argument that GA didn’t win their division is invalid. Based upon last weeks #4 rating.Consider other sports where champions can come from teams that didn’t win their conference or division: the NFL and MLB, the winner can be a wild card or as in the Big Dance in college basketball. WHy not say the wildcard teams don’t deserve to be in the playoffs? Do we really want the team with the best overall record to be in the playoff or championship game or do the teams that are playing the best at the time with comparitive records? If we just wanted the team with the best record, then heck, the Braves would have won several championships.

December 2, 2007 3:35 PM | Link to this

Whether you think UGA should or should not be in the title game is irrelevant to the clear conclusion from this morning’s AP and Harris Polls that THERE IS NO “SYSTEM”!! This is no different than pre BCS: people deciding on the last week what they think or want. That is not the definition of a “system”.

There is no legitimate justification for saying 7 and 9 last week get to jump 5 and 6 spots “just because” that is who “should be” in a title game.

I admit if there was no prior poll or system (and a whole season of rankings), then we could debate the merits of everyone (which quarterback was injured last week, which team won in overtime vs not, and on and on and on). BUT THERE HAS BEEN A WHOLE SEASON OF RANKINGS - Oh, but wait, if we don’t like what the “system” gives, we’ll just change it at the end.

UGA or not, let’s stop the facade or arguing over a “system” that does not exist!

I have ZERO interest in playing Hawaii. I’d rather play Wisconsin or some other over-rated fat-boy team that the voters seem to love so much. This system sucks. Why IL in the Rose Bowl? Why not just let the freaking pollsters or ESPN “analyst” pick the bowls?

Grrrr… And the Sagarin ratings are a freaking joke, too. Why is it the regular season doesn’t seem to matter. Just play the last game of the year and do the BCS then since that seems to be the point of it all now. HEY ROSE BOWL - SCREW YOU. STOP BLOCKING A PLAYOFF SYSTEM.

The AP and Coaches poal is messed up! There really is no system anymore. Georgia was number 4 in the bcs. Then the number 1 team loses to the number 9 team. Next the number 2 team loses to an unranked team. Really, Georgia should be number 2. But then there is the fact of LSU winning the sec. Yes it’s impressive to win the SEC but if you are number 7 and beat the number 14 team you should not jump up to number 2. Im mad about that but what drives me crazy is t that oklahoma, number 9, jumped Georgia at number 3. Thats just crap. At least Georgia should be number 3 behind Ohio state and LSU but they should not remain the same after the number 1 and 2 team lost. Georgia could beat Ohio State in the championship and they should get a chance to.

LSU deserves a shot at UGA. It is OSU that does not deserve to be in the game. They won a weak conference and did not beat a top 20 team. It is nothing put a popularity contest and UGA appears to be the unpopular kid on the block.

The pollsters are showing what a sham the system really is. In the end, they controll who the NC is, it doesn’t matter a whole lot what you do on the field. Case in point Auburn, 13-0 and no NC. Last year Michigan and Florida forced to who was the better lobyist for the game. Hats off to Urban and Foley, they did a good job for UF. Apparently LSU has good lobyist as well.

They blew their shot. Who cares is they beat number 14 tennessee? you should not jump 5 spots just for beating the number 14 team. Georgia beat number 10 florida. Then theres the oklahoma matter. oklahoma was number 9 and then made an expected win over missouri. So should they jump 6 spots? NOT A CHANCE!

RODawg…easy on Evans, he is a dawg, played for a dawg (Dooley) and is working hard as AD. He has done a good job managing the business side of things as once again UGA is one of the biggest in revenue. As for Adams he did help to bring us Richt along with Dooley.

As for the who we play in the BCS I and the fairness with the system, I agree in principle with your claims.

As for boycotting, while it would make a statement, it would not be fair to the Seniors who have put so much into our program and sacrificed as much as they have. Granted, they do get their benefits, but we wanted them to come and play at UGA. Additionally, how would boycotting help us in the future BCS standings, if you think we got the shaft this year see what happens after a boycott. UGA would be lucky to go the toilet bowl. Finally, how would our outstanding recruiting class for the upcoming year respond if they thought we as fans would boycott a BCS bowl game. How many would we lose.

If you want to change things start by writing Evans and Adams and letting them know you want a playoff. Follow up that by writing Director of the SEC and the NCAA. Finally, we all know it is money that drives these decisions, come up with a playoff system that generates more money.

Well it’s pretty much all over, LSU will overtake 3 teams in the standings. Why? Because the “all-knowing” ESPN analysts think they should and put on a 3 hour show begging people not to vote for UGA. This year will end with no true National Champion in the eyes of most fans around the country. In a poll hosted by ESPN the only 3 states that believed Ohio State and LSU were the best 2 teams in the nation were Louisiana, Mississippi, and Ohio (go figure).

Football should not be about politics PERIOD. Granted there are at least 4 teams with a legitimate argument to be in the championship game, but the simple question is how (other than politics) does LSU deserve the spot over 3 teams (2 of which also won their conference championship game).

Something needs to be done with this system and soon. Will it? No, because people don’t want to see what will happen in a playoff or “and 1” system. They want to covet the big name programs who are often very over-rated.

Who honestly believes that if you took a playoff bracket including OK, OSU, UGA, LSU, VT, and USC that LSU would win a single game at this point? The only team I give them a chance of beating is OSU.

The real reality is that the BCS is a complete and utter joke. Why we dont have a playoff system, I will never know. I mean please, DIVISION 2-A has one for cripes sake. I think the Dawgs deserve a shot just like the other 7 teams should. I do understand that UGA brought this on themselves by losing to South Carolina early, but what about Ohio State? Who did they actually beat this year of any consequence? If you say Michigan, then you are deluded. I mean, this is the same team that lost to APP State. Now conversely, LSU says that they are “Undefeated in regulation this season.” What the hell oes that mean? The fact is that they lost TWICE—-Once to Kentucky(a team UGA beat) and another time to a sub-.500 or better Arkansas team. Moving on to Oklahoma. To me, other than Georgia and USC, they are the hottest team on the planet. They lost twice this year also(Once to Colorado, and that I still can’t believe) and another time to Texas Tech(after they lost the starting QB and their RB). And now USC. They play in one of the weakest conferences known to man, -the PAC-10. This conference has such powerhouses as Stanford, Oregon St, and UCLA(LOL). But remember this, Stanford Beat USC, DIDN’T They? Or what about Kansas? Even though they lost to MIZZOU, they still only have one loss. And what about HAWAII? Well, to their credit, going undefeated is special, no matter how you do it. This shows once again, that it is a joke. So, in closing, yes, I’m upset that Georgia won’t get a shot at the title, but next year I think we will win the whole damn thing next year, BCS BE DAMNED!!!!

I disagreed with Lou Holtz “they didn’t even win their division” - well, Lou, yeah they did. They tied. But Tennessee gets the nod for the SEC championship game. If Ga had gone to the SEC game and beaten LSU, I’d probably be hollerin for the Dawgs to get in, but they didn’t - and they shouldn’t.

I don’t care what a bunch of stupid coaches think. This year is the same B.S. Missouri and W.V. lost, and Ohio State played a total p*** schedule. They are not #1. Common sense says that Georgia is #1, because we played a tougher schedule. LSU was #1 twice, and blew it both times. If Georgia wins in their bowl game, they are #1, and always will be.

LSU owes Lou-Lou Holtz, Mark Maybe, and the rest of the ESPN has-beens bigtime for all the strong lobbying to get them into line to play for the national title. I used to think old Mark Maybe had at least one eye and half sense but Lou-Lou has rubbed off on him super bad. Old Lou-Lou would have ND & SC playing if it was up to him alone. I really didn’t expect UGA to move into the #2 slot but thought #3 was possible. Given that OK was #9 and they whipped a #1 MO team they have should have moved to #2 behind OS. It will not happen but Hawaii should be playing for the title. Yea I know the powers to be (a lot they know, wasn’t Pitt supposed to loose by 4 TDs yesterday)say they don’t play anyone. Did you hear Lou-Lou tap dancing about it wasn’t USC’s fault that they only beat two ranked teams this year, so it just depends on who you are and what kind of money your team can generate is the bottem line for what bowl game you get. As for UGA’s bowl game I would like to see them go to the Rose Bowl and play USC or the Sugar bowl to play Hawaii. Either game will require Slick Willie to come up with a great game plan or we will be in a heap of trouble. Whatever happens thanks to all the UGA coaches and the bulldog team for a great season. The next year looks bright.

Complete BS that Oklahoma jumps UGA. What a crock. Has there ever been more proof that playoffs are the one and only system that will work?

I just hope LSU represents and kicks the crap out of Ohio State. Weak schedules give me no reason to respect them or USC.

Do they even play football in Hawaii? If so, they should SHUT UP until they actually win against someone worth a crap. By the way, still LOVE seeing the TECH people logging in under different team names to take shots at Georgia. Someday, Tech dorks, you will have a chance to pull for your own team.

First off, for all the detractors saying UGA didn’t win their division, I suggest you gain some knowledge before speaking. Secondly, the known requirement for playing in the title game is not to lose late. LSU lost last weekend. With this type of logic WVU should be in this discussion also. Since the entire season has come down to if’s. If UGA had played LSU in the SECCG last night LSU would not be the SEC Champ today. Finally, If it is LSU vs OSU?? (why is they’re ranking rock solid?) all of the BCS games are going to be blowouts due to the trickle down effect. USC vs UGA Rose bowl was going to be great. Now the Sugar, Rose, and BCS title games could be best described as Mob hits by UGA, USC, and LSU

Alls I can say is what the hell?!?! I mean…all week they said, if Mizz and WVa lose, then GA gets into the Champ game….but it’ll never happen b/c no way WVa loses to Pitt. Then, when it does happen, now here comes the usual suspects…Ohio State, Okla, LSU, etc, jumping 3,4, 7 spots to go ahead of UGA.

Aren’t people SICK TO DEATH of the same ole same ole in the champ game?!?! Hell, if I knew it would’ve worked out like this, I would have been pulling for Mizz and WVa….at least it would have been something different and compelling to watch in the champ game. Now it’s just the usual overrated big name team who played NOBODY all year and didn’t even have to play a conference champ game, versus another big name team that got lucky at the end. The only drama will be to see which of them blows the other out this time.

It seems like we have a lot of Ga. Tech fans here. I`m sorry guys but the DAWGS are just better. Also, a lot of TN fans. Hey, guys you had your chance at LSU and lost it. For once in my life I was hoping TN would win. Go figure?

The system is in place. The BCS is not perfect by any means but its all we have at the time. The way it has worked all season is that when you loose you fall in the ranking and teams below move up. Why change it now? If things work as they have all year then it will be Ohio State and Georgia. Do other teams have a reason to b***? Yes they do. But that is the system we have now. Should it be changed just to suit this year? No! You dont “change horses in the middle of the stream”.

This was not supposed to be the Dogs year at all. They far exceeded expectations. I thought they were an 8-4 team this year. The next 2 years look very bright. Bringing back 17 of the 22 starters next year and Bobo having a full year as OC under his belt.

If you look at the wins that each team had, LSU clearly deserved to get the National Title shot. I don’t like a team that loses at home with a title shot on the line (LSU-ARK) but the collection of teams that LSU beat far exceed the accomplishments of any other team this year. UGAs 2 best wins (Florida and Auburn) are LSUs 2nd and 4th best wins (VaTech, Florida, Tennessee, Auburn). I love the Dogs, but LSU clearly beat better teams this year. That said, next year is a good time to travel to Baton Rouge to take on a yooooung LSU team.

BooowwwhaaahahahahahahaWHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! LMAOAPIMP

I just encountered this blog and can’t contain my laughter. I mean EVERYONE knows UGA has delusional fans, but this is like a PERFECT EXAMPLE of that!

UGA didn’t even sniff the MNC game puppies! You got the worst of the BCS bowls, so exactly how did you think you were going to a NC???

You know why you will go to the worst BCS bowl? Because the polls, rankings, and computers are NOT voted or managed by ONLY Georgia residents. THE REST OF THIS NATION HAS NO RESPECT FOR YOUR DELUSIONAL FANS.

UGA is a second tier program; that’s why it earns second-tier respect around the country. Not everyone is drinking the water from the Dawg pound.

In other words: listen up pupsters, your program isn’t that great - everyone knows that but you. Which is why you define the word DELUSIONAL.

It’s too bad after all the upsets this weekend that the Dawg fans still won’t get a shot at a National Championship this year. As a Tech fan, I can tell you that it’s a great feeling to win a National Championship. Our undefeated run in 1990 was awesome! Since the Dawgs haven’t won a NC in more than a quarter century, I hope you Dawg fans under 40 or so have a chance to experience it sometime during your lifetime. The odds are against you and you’ve got that South Carolina game to deal with every year, but you can hope.

Dawg fans don’t like Saragain ratings because they are defined on a highly-dimensional mathematical model that is based on markov chains, something a jawja fan could not even begin to comprehend.

Those arguing against UGA say since they didn’t win their conference, they shouldn’t be allowed in the NCG. If that is the case, then Notre Dame and Miami should have to give back about 15 NC b/c they didn’t win a conference in those years either. And Penn St. too. The system is not designed for us. Let’s play it off.

Personally, I am so tired of the overhyped college football. Some of the athletes that get a football scholarship have a 2.0-3.0 average in high school, and manage to get full scholarships.

Where are our priorities? I guess promoting college football, rather than education.

It is funny how Mike Slive and his BCS cronies can talk about how great things are with a straight face. Whatever happens NO ONE will be happy at 8pm tonight (except the fake #1 & #2 teams who make it in). While on the subject…when any undefeated team cannot make the title game then the system in place is not legitimate. Not much we can do except yell at the college presidents, BCS committee and the tv networks who feed the beast. As much as I love college football I am not planning on going to any more bowls until something is done to fix the problems. I have had enough. What about you?

Go Dawgs!

Hey Chase, Michigan did lose their last game. No one said any different. The fact is that Michigan was ranked second after losing that game. Florida won the SEC a week later and leapfrogged Michigan. Choke on that.I know at least 2 people laughing right now. Brian and Steve Spurrier. HAHAHAHA

For the first time in poll history, the polls that have been running all season are literally thrown out after the last weekend of games and a new poll is conjured up. When you are ranked #4, #12 or #20 and two teams directly in front of you lose, they move down and you move up. That’s the way it’s always worked. What’s the point of a season long poll, if they essentially create a new one after the last weekend of the season? I mean, what’s the point of having the polls all season?

LSU is going to pound OSU (just like FLA last year), and UGA is going to pound Hawaii. I think this year calls for UGA v. LSU in the national championship, that would certainly be the most competative matchup.

Doggies—we won the conference. All the polls and the computers recognized that a two loss conference champ is more deserving than a two loss team that didn’t even make it to the title game. Try winning it on the field, not with your mouths.
