I would say no. But if you’re the Dawgs, you can’t concern yourself with the BCS, you just have to try and play each game 1 at a time. LSU is first…It’s going to be tough but GO DAWGS and hang in there! With a win Saturday, we would probably move up two spots right there…

Actually with wins over LSU and Florida, Georgia has a good shot to move into the top 4 or 5 in the BCS. These next 4 road games will boost Georgia in the computer polls if they win. If Georgia Tech stays ranked, it will just give Georgia a boost at the end of the year if they win. Georgia’s biggest thing right now is to win the SEC east and get to the SECCG.

One team will be from the Big 12(Texas). The other team will be the SEC champ, or Penn State or USC. So, the only way is for bulldawg to win out, which seems impossible to me looking at the rest of the schedule. But you never know.

The Bulldogs don’t have to do anything but keep winning they are already in the national title picture. If Georgia wins out they win the east. If they win the east they play in the SEC championship. If they win the SEC championship they play for the NC. Does not matter what any other team does so to ask if they are to far out to consider themselves contenders is kind of stupid. Even if Georgia loses to LSU and then beats Florida and wins out they still win the east and play for the SEC championship and who knows maybe against an undefeated and #1 ranked Alabama team that if we beat puts us in the NC game with two loses like LSU last year. The season is a long way from over we look a lot better this year than we did at this time of the season last year. Mark Richt coached teams seem to get better as the season goes on. Last year Alabama looked pretty good early in the year but didn’t seem to get better and didn’t look so good at the end of the year.

I see no shot at Miami even winning out the rest of the season. Looks more like Texas and Jo Pa State to me with Jo Pa only having to play Ohio State and Texas playing like the second coming of Knute Rockne and the Four Horsemen.

I hope we learned enough in our loss to Bama that if you are outmanned on the line do some sweeps and quick dump passes. LSU will dominate the line, but after watching the game last night, I think AJ, MoMass and Knowsh can take some quick dump passes and get some good yards. Just my opinion, I am not paid to come up with the schemes, I hope the guys that do, watch last nights game and the Bama game and come up with a winning plan.

Go Dawgs, another SECC and a Sugar Bowl will be just fine with me.

Man don’t you know it eats up the Gators and the Tiggers that we are above them in the BCS. As if they needed extra motivation.

One thing I have not figured out about the dawgs: like Florida, they have all the 5-star players, and have to turn away some of the in-state 5-star like Bowman. But they have a hard time to win a run-away game, even against a team like Vandy, a team littered with 3-stars.

Still in it, of course but the will have to win out and hope for a Texas or Penn St loss. If there are two BCS conference teams with no losses those teams will play for the MNC. Looking at the schedules I am not sure if either of these teams will lose, though Texas may since thier schedule is about as brutal as an SEC schedule and they will have to play a Big 12 Championship game. Penn St has to beat Ohio St this weekend other then that thier schedule is a brezze. I look for it to be Texas and Penn St, with Penn St getting blown out, sort of like Ohio St keeps getting by SEC teams.

Admissions: Who makes a habit of special admits?

There was a lot of attention on admissions this summer, especially in the wake of the SEC’s decision to lower its minimum admission standards to be in line with the NCAA admissions policies. One of the area’s that was not under the microscope (until now, of course) is the case for “special admissions”.

The Indy Star contacted FBS schools in an attempt to determine what percentage of football players (and scholarship atheletes, in general) were admitted despite falling below a university’s minimum academic standards.

The results? Shocking.

At Cal, 95% of the football players admitted during the 2004-2005 year were special admissions. Georgia (‘99-‘00) and Texas A&M (‘04-‘05) both had 94% special admissions. On the opposite end of the spectrum, sixteen of the fifty-five responding schools — including several of the nation’s elite football schools — did not have any special admits at all (Michigan State, Nebraska, North Carolina, Purdue, Texas Tech, Connecticut, Minnesota, Texas, Colorado, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Mississippi, Illinois, Michigan, Virginia, Ohio State).

Here’s a rundown of the schools with special admits that did comply with the request:

Alabama - 21% Arizona - 33% Auburn - 12% Cal - 95% Floirda - 18% Florida State - 65% Georgia - 94% Georgia Tech - 9% Indiana - 42% Iowa - 41% Iowa State - 21% Kentucky - 64% LSU - 82% Louisville - 38% Missouri - 61% NC State - 25% Oklahoma - 81% Texas A&M - 94% Washington - 48% Washington State - 60% West Virginia - 23%

Schools with zero special admissions reported in the football department: Michigan State, Nebraska, North Carolina, Purdue, Texas Tech, Connecticut, Minnesota, Texas, Colorado, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Mississippi, Illinois, Michigan, Virginia, Ohio State

I’m impressed that some of the higher ranked academic schools aren’t taking any special admits. That’s impressive. Then again, there’s a time and place for special admits. All, college is about lifting people up right? I don’t know where you draw the line, but 95% special admits is insane.

Those fools can’t win a big game and I’m surprised that they even try anymore after the last two BEATDOWNS to SEC teams. And what makes you think that the one loss you have won’t be as bad as UGA’s one loss? Ours was to the #2 team in the country and we lost by eleven.

Some of you forget, not all of you, but some forget that the BCS is based on many factors, one important one being strength of schedule. There is no doubt if the dawgs win out with this schedule that they will be in the National Championship. Many analysts have indicated from the beginning of the season that there is no doubt UGA will go with one loss. You have to remember 9 of the 12 opponents UGA played/will play are ranked. Not to mention they will most definatley play a highly ranked team (possibly a top 5 in BAMA) in the SEC Champoinship. If they win out, they are getting screwed over if they don’t get in.

KneeJerk, I don’t guess it had anything to do with the SEC’s bowl record the past few years vs other conferences. SEC teams don’t lose very often when they get a chance at the title. The past couple of years have overwhelmingly proven that an undeserving team usually gets in by playing cupcakes 90% of the season and they go in w/o being battle tested. As a matter of fact, other than UF getting beaten by Nebraska a while back, I can’t think of any SEC team not winning when they play for it all. They just have a tendency to put the wrong teams in there under this joke system we have to live with. What’s funny is o s who was favored in both games the last two years! LOL!

WHY OH WHY does the AJC torture the rest of us with talking about a UGA National Championship YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR??? And this year, even during the season, after they’ve already been eliminated by the Alabama Crimson Tide!

1980 was a FLUKE!!!! The Dawgs were never a good, consistent winner, and never have been. UGA football is a step above South Carolina, and a step below Florida. Honestly, folks, UGA football is on par with Auburn, Tennessee, and a few other mid-level SEC programs: quite good, but not all that “great”.

However, most people in Georgia don’t realize that because YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR the local newspapers hype up the UGA football team, and everyone believes 1980 is just around the corner again. It’s not. 1980 was almost 30 years ago!!!

By Royal

The truth is that Penn St. must lose to Ohio State this week AND USC must lose to a nobody. If Ohio State beats Penn St., their ranking will go up, which will elevate USC to a point that the Dawgs won’t catch them in the BCS unless they lose. If Texas trips up (seems unlikely), Oklahoma will still not face a Big 12 championship game, so one of the BCS Championship teams is a lock to be Texas or Oklahoma. My guess is Texas/USC repeat of 2005. If PSU wins this weekend, Texas/PSU seems probable.

If Georgia manages to beat LSU, Florida, Auburn, and Alabama/LSU in the SEC Championship, they still won’t leapfrog Penn St. if the Lions win-out. Seems unfair considering the last two BCS games, but that’s the price of getting blown out by the Tide.

One other scenario has Texas and Oklahoma both winning out. If that happens, Georgia also has no chance of jumping in even if Penn St. and USC falter.

By Dex

Royal is right, Georgia has a problem. Even if the Dawgs win out, they’re only guaranteed of moving ahead of Florida and Alabama. I honestly don’t see Georgia passing Oklahoma, considering the strength of the Big 12 this year. The Dawgs need Penn State and Oklahoma to both lose a game, and then hope the BCS likes the Dawgs more than the Trojans. So far, they don’t. And if LSU, Auburn, and Tech all fall out of the Top 25, Georgia may not get the strength of schedule points they need to move up.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….”THUG U”

Offensive tackle Vince Vance — out for the season with a knee injury — was arrested for not having a valid driver’s license and booked into the jail at 9:29 p.m. Saturday. Vance, 21, was released on a $500 bond about an hour later.

Wood, also 21, was booked into the county jail at 3:42 a.m. Sunday. In addition to DUI, he was charged with not having his headlights on. He was released at 9:16 a.m. on total bond of $1,750.

“Brandon certainly made a bad error in judgment to have alcohol in his system,” Richt said. Ya think! How about being out at 2:00am period!

A red-shirt sophomore from Buchanan, Wood is not a starter for the Bulldogs but has played in all seven games as part of the rotation on the defensive line. Another defensive tackle, Kade Weston, sat out the Vanderbilt game with a sore knee but will return against LSU, Richt said.

Vance was a starter on the offensive line before injuring his knee against Tennessee on Oct. 11.

Neither Wood nor Vance was available for comment Sunday.

Their arrests brought the total number of Georgia football players arrested since January to 10.

“It’s always disappointing to hear that kind of news,” Richt said. Agian…Duh!!!!

Guys really, as a Dawg fan all my life I am going to be real here. Because Georgia has so many other issues, they shouldnt be worrying about a national championship. They are injured at key positions, the offensive and defensive coordinator are young and inexperience and not ready to game plan big games, they are soft in many positions mainly on both lines and the quarterback is playing very average to say the least especially compared to the other quarterbacks in the top 5. If the coordinators are not fired at seasons end Georgia will always be an average team, but not great! They will lose at least 2 more games this year.

But since you brought it up, I’d have to see more details before making a conclusion about the DUI. If he blew a .2, then yeah, he should probably be thrown off the team. But the arbitrary and ridiculous DUI laws that allow an arrest at .08 (which a 280 pound lineman probably wouldn’t even feel) make such distinctions an unfortunate necessity. I’m not sure about GA law, but in some states you can be arrested for less, as the officer is allowed to use his “discretion”.

Read my scarlet lips. Georgia can win out and win big each time including the SEC Championship game and WILL NOT MAKE THE TOP TWO. I will repeat that because I know half of you are just plain stupid and the other half are still in year round denial. And, LOL- The other half have already packed it in which is EXTREMELY characteristic of ALL southern football fans. You know I’m right! LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Once more “Georgia can win out and win big each time including the SEC Champ game and WILL NOT MAKE THE TOP TWO”.

Last time and with meaning “Georgia can win out and win big each time including the SEC Champ game and WILL NOT MAKE THE TOP TWO”.

Not sure why some Dog bloggers feel the need to throw off on THE (with a capitol T, H & E) Ohio State Buckeyes just because YOU lost to Alabama 31-0 at home. And, next week, when we beat Penn State (which could really happen) and leap frog your hairy a*, I will be back here for more smack down fun. Unfortunately, if you also lose to LSU (which could really happen), most of you flimwad Morons won’t be on here to reply LOLOLHAHAHAHALOLOLOL. Time to go cow tipping, deer hunting, moonshine running and Wal Mart parking lot clubbing Whoweeewewewewewlololololahahahahalol.

I wish someone could tell me the break out of the coaches and what states they coach in. However, until Richt, not so bright BOBO, and the idiot Martinez begin winning against weak teams 50 to nothing they will never rank in the top two BCS slots. The BCS was made for USC, Ohio St., Michigan, Penn State, and Texas. It does not matter if the SEC does win every now and then. The system was design for those teams. I would be embarrased if the DAWGS had to play a team that they could win by 62 to 0. However there is only three teams undefeated now? So we go by style points now. Hollywood on the field. Sounds like football to me!

Must win all the finally regular games…finish season 11-1! Will finish regular season at #4 behind Ok. Play #2 Alabama in the SEC….beat them and we will jump OK. in the polls and became #2! No one will want to see a Ok/TX rematch. Play Texas in the BCS Championship! We can do it!!

The “Big Game”. With the trends of late, I think we have to ask what the “big game” is. The SEC is NOT like other divisions. With the way things have been the last decade with the BCS, I feel the SEC championship is a more accomplished feat that the national title. Ohio State…….what a joke how high they have been ranked the last SEVERAL years. Misisippi State would beat them today. 70% of the teams in the SEC can beat them. That goes as well for Penn state, Texas and Oklohoma. There do not want any of this down here. It is Brutal, unpridictabl, and absolutely the best college football in the country. The SEC absolutely rocks. The national title should just be the SEC champion vs.the best everybbody else has. Now I know I’m getting a little extreme here but I’m sick and tired of the BCS not giving props to our division.

Georgia got beat by Alabama and look where they are in the polls compared to USC who got beat by Oregon State the same week. They play NOBODY!!!……let me repeat……NOBODY…….

So is Georgia in the hunt for the big game……yes they are…….the SEC championship……And if the BCS Wizards can Pontificate on that and see the SEC champion in the BIG gmae well god bless em for handing us the national title.

Doubtful. In order for the Dawgs to make it to the big game they would have to win out (unlikely) and then beat Alabama in the Ga. Dome (VERY unlikely). Until Richt is able to discipline his players (I see another 2 were busted this weekend) and make in-game adjustments, he will continue to get beat by superior coaching. I suspect that Georgia will lose to Florida or LSU, or perhaps even both. As Alabama found all you have to do is get in Stafford’s face and he plays like a freshman.

Funny to see a tOSU loser laughing at SEC teams, who have pwn3d you over and over and over and over and over again. You should pray for a bowl game against a 6-6 SEC team in the Poulan Weedwhacker Bowl just so you can say you once beat an SEC team.

“I feel the SEC championship is a more accomplished feat that the national title”. Ok that’s one of 300,000,000 Americans.

“Ohio State…….what a joke”.

Actually, the “joke” dude, is the fact that you live down there and still spell Mississippi “Misisippi”.

There goes your credibility you southern fried, stupid piece of cow s**.

This is all a moot argument. Georgia isn’t going to beat LSU or Florida. 8-3 UGA vs. 8-3 GT will be an interesting matchup, but neither team is a threat to go to a BCS bowl this year. Neither one has a good enough o line to beat anybody in the Top 15.

The next two games will tell us what kind of team we have this year. Beat LSU and Florida, and the dawgs will earn the respect of the voters, regardless of whether the games are close or not. Lose, and there is no hope for an SEC or National title game. They’ve got the talent. It’s time to prove it on the field. Go Dawgs!

I am curious, why do Georgia fans have such disdain for Ohio State football? All I read in these types of blogs is how bad OSU is and how bad the Big ten is ect, ect. Yes I read how great the SEC is and I understand that, this is SEC country. But I still don’t understand the hatred for OSU and the Big ten. I will take a guess on the Big Ten. Because year in and year out the Big Ten is the only conference that the SEC fan believes is truly on line with them? Just my guess. Responders please be objective with your responses.

Look Ohio State…..If your going to proof read a hastily written post, do it properly and point out that I missed Oklahoma as well which is up there where you are. My point is my point whether or not I spelled everything correctly. Ohio State cannot and could not hang in the SEC. If it did, you would rarely see a bowl game. Don’t get your feelings hurt. Be thankful that you aren’t in the SEC. It’s brutal down here. I would love to see Ohio State in another Championship with a SEC team. It’s a given.

If you can’t however, do any better than pick apart my spelling then you don’t have mych of an argument there do you “Buckeye”?

I don’t hate Ohio or the big 10. For years now the SEC has been highly underatd in the BCS. It is now starting to get some respect after 2 national titles. but take a few years back when Auburn was undefeated and didn’t make the big dance. That was wrong. No question about it, the best 2 teams were NOT in the title game that year. I know we are not talking about the big 10 here, but the last two years Ohio State was in the title game they didn’t play like they did. Yet…..at the start of this season and after loosing a lot of talent, they are once again ranked early very highly.

I’m with Vdawg. The hatred is not for tOSU but for the pollsters who treat them with kid gloves every year despite the two years running they’ve 1st quarter KO by an SEC team. The Big 10 needs to man up, convince Notre Dame to join the conference so you have 12 teams, and play a conference championship like the SEC, ACC and Big 12. Any undefeated or one-loss SEC champion has won at the very least 12 games and maybe 13 by the time they reach the bowl game. tOSU may have played only 11 games at that point, and many of them against very weak competition both in and outside their conference. The fact that OSU gets put in the top 5 every year is a sham and, usually gets corrected when they get exposed on the field. Of couse Georgia is barely a top-10 team so it just goes to show you the pollsters are really just guessing when they rank teams before the season.

NotaAtlantafan, how could you possibly say that the big ten is “on line” with the SEC? Who do you have in the big 10? An underachieving Michigan team that can hardly buy a win this year with Rich Rod, Penn State whom everyone has a special affection for because of JoPa and JoPa alone, o s who, who’s ALWAYS overrated and gets their butts handed to them EVERY time they play the SEC (9 or 10 times makes it quite obvious), Wisconsin who’s very consistently mediocre, Michigan State and the rest of the conference shouldn’t even be mentioned here. How in the world do you try to compare a conference with UGA, UF, LSU, UA, AU, UT, UK, VU, MSU, UM, USC to the big ten? I know that Auburn and Tennessee are having very disappointing seasons but that is very rare. That still leaves at least 4 teams that would beat the best team in the big ten. Probably more, but whatever.

Vdog & jc_atl, thanks for your comments. I understand you anguish. I can not understand how the pollsters come up with their votes. I believe they do not take it seriously hence the reason for teams like BYU being in the top 10. A payoff is the only true way to crown a national champion. Just for the record I love college football Big ten and SEC.

Now vioce of reason, if you read my post I said year in an year out. If you can not agree with that then I quess we will have to agree to disagree.

Fair enough NotaAtlantafan, but I still say that 9 seasons out of 10 the SEC would win more games vs the big 10 if you lined them up with the highest ranked teams from both conferences going head to head.

I am afraid that I have to agree with some of these people. We don’t have a chance to win the SEC, much less the National Championship. Who are we kidding. Stafford is beginning to look like a freshman again and we just don’t have the athletes to compete with some of the teams on our schedule. I am worried sick about LSU, Florida, but most of all Tech really scares me. They are a team on the up.

IF the Dawgs can win the rest of their games PLUS have the six teams above them falter in some way, they might have a shot. It’s a long shot at best though. If they had taken care if business at the Alabama game, then they might have had a better shot at the NC. The road to the National Championship is a lot more complex now than it was 28 years ago with the SEC championship game as well as the BCS thrown into the mix. I would say that the next two weeks will determine UGA’s fate. If they can’t prove themselves worthy with LSU and Florida, they can forget about going to Miami.

the SEC Champ will be either Alabama, Georgia, Florida, or LSU. If ANY of these teams wins it without losing a(nother) game, they will play for the BCS. If UGA wins out, and beats Bama in SEC, it’s a lock, and only Sentiment (for Joe Pa) or IDIOCY (for USC) would alter that.

“and only Sentiment (for Joe Pa) or IDIOCY (for USC) would alter that”.

DUUUUUUUUUUUDE. That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you Morons for 7 straight weeks. The people who shape the Bowls (FOX elitist) ARE full of Sentiment and IDIOCY. That’s why you guys needed to come out with a BANG while Number 1 instead of creating doubt in their moronic minds week after week.

GET IT THOUGH YOUR THICK HEAD. Georgia can win out including the SEC Championship Game and WILL NOT reach the top TWO.

Maybe you should have been a “history” major. LOL

If the dogs win out they are in championship game as long as either Texas or Penn State lose a game. UGA will leap other people and they will penalize OK for not winning their championship. It’s possible for the dawgs to run the table but they will have to bring their A game the next 2 weeks. Go dawgs!
