USC, Florida and GA dropped like hot potatoes. USC lost on the road to an average Oregon State team, Florida battled with Ol Miss at home, and Georgia was throttled by Bama at home, at night, during a "Blackout." I wonder if Georgia's school President and Athletic Director will be clamoring for a playoff this year?
I believe USC and Florida can earn their way back into the BCS Title discussion. Georgia should make travel plans for New Orleans, Orlando or Tampa. I am only applying the same logic to the Dawgs as the Dawgs applied to USC last Friday and OSU on Sept. 14th. If you lose, you die. Close to 100,000 Bulldog fans said on Sept 14th, that the Buckeyes sucked and should not be allowed back into the BCS discussion. Fine. I can accept that. OSU has not shown up in big games, and USC throttled a Beanieless team by 32 points at home. This should end the title talk discussion.
Will Georgia fans accept the same treatment? They lost by eleven at home, but were down 31-0 at halftime. The game was not close. Ohio State and USC lost on the road, Georgia lost at home. They should be punished more for this loss.
Looking back at 2007, Georgia felt robbed because they were left out of the BCS title game. Their logic is beyond me considering they lost 2 games - 1 in Sept to a non-bowl eligible South Carolina team, and were destroyed by a vanilla Tennessee team 35-14 in October. Robbed? Of what? Georgia did not even win their own mediocre SEC East division.
Is Georgia a good team? Yes. Are they a great team. Hardly. The Dawgs defense is not on the same level as LSU and Auburn. The passing game is suspect at this point. The O-line is good, but not great. I suspect that this discussion will not matter too much because Georgia will likely lose two more games this season.
Similar to 2007, this season is only going to get wackier in the coming weeks. You can bet that at least one upset will happen each week. I think Bama is on upset alert this week. Kentucky is 4th in FBS in Team Defense. Granted, the Wildcats have not played a strong schedule, but they could be the spoiler. This will be a strong test for the Tide. Clear it, and they have a two game schedule, At LSU and home against Auburn.
