I watched UGA yesterday and they dominated that game a lot more than the score would indicate. Yes, they had two big turnovers at the goal line, and had several dropped passes, but they controlled the game from the start. If Richard Samuel dives into the end zone and doesn't run upright like a stick figure, UGA is up by 2 tds in the 2nd half. Georgia always gets outcoached against Steve Spurrier teams and they were playing a SC that was fighting for it's life. I don't think there's too many teams that wouldn't have strugged against SC yesterday...the two I don't think would however, are above UGA in the polls.

You watch the game this saturday Arizona ST was beat by UNLV they looked out of it it was the classic let down looking ahead game,but I can guarantee they will have their A+ game ready for the Bulldogs. I watch all the SEC teams and besides Florida (and they took a west coast guy to get that offense up to speed) Nothing SEC teams do on Offense wows me Arizona state can keep up with Georgia its going to be a intresting game.Comment -
I hear ya... That's gonna be a damn good game... Im sure Gameday will be there...Originally posted by mmike032they will, Richt will light a fire under that ass just like last year after the Tenn lost. they havent lost a game since then.

I know they can score but I dont think they can stop UGA either. its gonna be a high scoring game IMO. the way UGAs secondary looked yesterday, I dont think they will stop AS either.Comment -

i don't think it was uga's secondary as much is was a lack of a pass rush and bad play calling. Willie Martinez wanted to put the team's tallest defender on SC's tight end...unfortunately the team's tallest defender is Kade Weston.Comment -
Alabama's defense is extremely under-rated... Last night they allowed their first offensive TD of the year, and thats cause 2nd and 3rd string was in... I'd be careful.. There's a reason we're number 9... lolOriginally posted by mmike032
They allowed 0 rushing yards against clemson.. lolComment -
thats cause splillers touched the ball what 2 times all game.Originally posted by JRS21386
2 of the best backs in the country and have a conbined 4 carries
but I was referring to the Arizona st game in my comment. UGA/ ALA will be low scoringComment -
agreed lack of pressure and that F'in tight end UGA couldnt match up with. Smelley picked UGA defense apart due to the tight end.Originally posted by daneblazer
I havent seen UGA ends put much pressure on QBs this year. That will bite them in the ass in the SEC.
Not to mention special teams, mainly kick offs, you cant give SEC teams the ball on the +30 yd line and expect to win.
but then again I cant remember the last kicker UGA had that could get the ball in the endzone
Comment -
Yeah but thats cause we established they COULDNT run the ball early on... There was so much pressure on cullen harper is was sick!Originally posted by mmike032Comment -
These polls are a joke. Auburn beats a terrible team 3-2, and are still in the top 10. Ohio St. has looked terrible vs. both FBS teams they've played and are in the top 15. Ridiculous. I guess it doesn't matter until the end of the year though."You Can't Outfox a Fox" -Dapper Capper

I've got no problem with the current Top 5, and anything after that really doesn't mean too much. Also still way too early for some folks in this thread to be running their mouths the way they are. Sure hope at least half of you enjoy the taste of crow.Comment -
Which is precisely why USC will go undefeated during the regular season...and then lose to Florida in the BCS Championship Game.Originally posted by mmike032Comment -
A few other SEC schools as well as a couple from the Big 12 no doubt think your Florida pick is a bit premature, LT. But I'm assuming you're not picking the Gators to go unscathed in the SEC. So who has the best shot at upsetting them, Georgia or LSU, in your mind?
I'll hang up and listen
Comment -
I wouldn't be glad it's in Athens if I were you. UGa is 10 times better on the road than they are at home vs SEC opponents since Richt has been there. And that's not an opinion its statistically true. His winning % is like above 80% on the road and not even close at home. check it.Originally posted by mmike032Comment -
Georgia could beat Florida at a neutral site in the Cocktail Party, but if Florida does win that game, then yes I do expect Gators to go undefeated, considering they get LSU at home and don't face Auburn at all.
And even if Florida does lose to Georgia, I see that as their only loss while I feel Georgia will lose at least two games (at LSU, at Auburn).Comment -
Yeah, it's tough for me to imagine anyone coming out of the SEC unbeaten. If any team does, they're a lock for the BCS game.
Just wonder if OU might have an 'easier' road to an unblemished season than Florida. They get Texas at a neutral site -- unlike the 'neutral site' that the Cubs and Astros just played -- and the Sooners have Kansas, Texas Tech and Nebraska in Norman.Comment -
Like I said in another thread, the SEC champion should get an automatic slot in the BCS Championship Game every year.
It may be tough if Oklahoma goes undefeated this year (I have already marked USC down as undefeated), but hopefully the pollsters will give the SEC Champ enough love to put them number two.Comment -
what about the nuetral site for the UGA/FLA game?Originally posted by Willie Bee
Jacksonville, is that a nuetral site. I dont think so.
the game should alternate between Athens and Gainsville, or alternate b/t Jacsonville and Atlanta.
I dont see any SEC team going undefeated this year. BUt I still think a 1 or even 2 loss SEC team should get a bid before and undefeated Pac-10 or Big 10 team as long as their the SEC champs.
we all know USC will get a bid, their the media darlings, everybody loves USC.Comment -
Certainly more of a neutral site than the Astros playing a 'home game' in Milwaukee against the Cubs.Originally posted by mmike032
So what if - - and it's a big IF - - we end up with USC, Florida and Oklahoma unbeaten? My initial thought is you put the Gators and Sooners in the BCS Championship coming out of the SEC and Big 12 respectively with perfect marks. But lord knows, regardless of which two you pick, all hell's going to break loose.Comment -
How does Tennessee recieve votes?Comment -
What I don't understand is that SEC has 5 of the best 10 teams in the country yet if USC and Oklahoma, who have a cupcake schedule, go undefeated they are automatically playing for BCS championship.
It's like not having the NFC East in NFL not in the Superbowl because they have the three best teams in the country in Giants, Eagles and Cowboys and beat each other all year and give Packers and Cardinals a free pass to the Superbowl.Comment -
Unfortunately, if those three teams go undefeated, USC will stay #1 and get a free pass, although I agree that it should be as you said.Originally posted by Willie BeeComment -
I hate the new BCS system... Schedule Toughness should matter!Comment -
I'm not so sure I'd call Oklahoma's schedule 'cupcake,' pavy. They certainly haven't played much of anyone yet, but they have three Top 20 teams on the slate right now, Nebraska could be in the Top 20 by the time that game rolls around, and the potential to face Missouri in the Big 12 Championship.Originally posted by pavyracer
Right now, Florida only has three currently-ranked teams on their slate. Believe Georgia and LSU have four each.
If OU's schedule is cupcake, then USC's must be downright vagina-esque. I agree with you, if that situation came to be, that USC shouldn't have an automatic berth over either the SEC or Big 12 champion.Comment -
FSU?
How are they on there.
They've played 2 cream puffs.Comment -
To Oklahoma's credit they at least have a Championship game. USC and any other conference that doesn't have a championship game should automatically be disqualified from BCS.Originally posted by Willie BeeComment
