Dogs are third in new BCS standings
Georgia is third in the new Bowl Championship Series standings, which were released Sunday night.
Notre Dame is No. 1 and Alabama is No. 2. All three teams moved up after Oregon and Kansas State were upset Saturday night. Florida is fourth in the BCS.
The top two teams in the BCS standings at the end of the season will play for the national championship on Jan. 7 in Miami.
If Georgia beats Georgia Tech and Alabama beats Auburn Saturday, the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide will play for the SEC championship, with the winner advancing to play for the national title.
Notre Dame, Alabama and Georgia also held the top three spots in Sunday’s Associated Press poll.
In other college news Sunday, Tennessee fired coach Derek Dooley. Dooley, 44, had a 15-21 record that included an 0-15 mark against Top 25 teams.

ND would beat GA. You guys have beat 2 teams that have a winning record. Scheduling Buffalo (4-7), Florida Atlantic (3-8) and GA Southern (1-AA) is really bad. You are 1-1 vs BCS top 25 so don’t get your hopes up. Nothing wrong with supporting your team but at least be realistic and honest when you talk about your season and the competition you have played. Your opponents winning per centage is 47%. Nothing to write home about.

UGa MIGHT be a #15 team but they sure as hell ain’t the 3rd best team in the country.

“UF is getting worse and worse every week that goes by.”
Worse and worse is 3-0 since Georgia…..10 and 1 (lost only to the 3rd ranked team in the country)……..while beating Texas A&M, LSU, and South Carolina…….well…..is that is “worse and worse”……then give me “worse and worse”…..
Florida’s defense (the absolute best in the country)….with limit FSU offensively….and with some breaks and turnovers…..Florida can beat FSU in their house, but it will not be easy. And if they do, Florida’s win resume this year will be second to none……Texas A&M, LSU, South Carolina, and FSU…..and I will match those wins against Notre Dame’s schedule and wins any day. And…if Florida beats FSU (if somehow the offense wakes up and plays just a decent game without turnovers)…..and if Georgia beats Bama…..I think Georgia and Florida should replay for the National Title…..even if Notre Dame is undefeated…..but we know that will never happen.

I have watched Georgia play since the very tough and deserving win over Florida…..and they are playing as well….or better…..than any team in the country. I am not sure who could beat Georgia right now. If Bama and Georgia played next weekend…..I would take Georgia by 10 over Bama. They are a better team right now. But Bama still has the better coach. That is why it is only 10 and not more.

Destin Dawg…..
The Gators are fairly “pissed off” about losing to Georgia this year too. It is going to be a defensive struggle in “The Doap House”….and I think Manual is going to throw some picks. If Florida does not turn the ball over….Florida could win in an upset.

Grantham is a super defensive coordinator.. quickly adjusting to college ball .. Richt has patiently allowed Bo Bo to grow as an offense Coodinator.. soon to get a H.C. job… Go Dawgs win the SEC champs THIS year.. as I have been saying all year

The Dawgs can win out. Will they? Who knows. Their schedule has not been that demanding. If Both O & D play well in each remaining game, they’ve got as good a shot as anyone.

If we can beat Tech and Bama, we’ll play whoever is in Miami. My question is, why would the SEC have to play a 13th game while ND would only play 12. Does’nt the 13 game mean anything in the BCS formula with regard to the SOS? Would other conferences with a championship game jump a 12 game ND, and why not?

Ga needs to focus on GA TECH. Georgia is certainly capable of beating Alabama, Alabama is not as good as past teams and Ga can certainly beat them. I saw that someone said something about GA schedule, Alabama schedule was not that difficult, take away LSU and Texas A&M, which Bama should have lost both not that impressive

Dooley had to go. He was even slightly worse than his dad as a coach. You take out the Herschel Walker years and look at the mediocre numbers for a historically average program. Not sure why Dawg fans always seem to think “this is the year”? Herschel ain’t coming back Sunshine. Maybe they can join the ACC or Big Ten and become a real factor again?

Georgia really needs Florida to beat Florida State and for South Carolina to beat Clemson this next weekend so Georgia’s win at Florida and their lost at South Carolina will mean a lot more when comparing strength of Schedule. If Georgia beats Alabama in the SEC Championship then they would have beaten two top ten teams and their only lose would have been to a team ranked around 10. A lot more impressive than Notre Dame , Oregon or Kansas State. Strength of schedule should be the most important after every team has finished the year not what the team you beat was ranked when you beat them but what ranking they ended at the end of regular play plus the Conference Championship.

If your HC had a BROTHER-IN-LAW in the SEC Office who is in charge of making the SEC schedules your schedule might improve and don’t forget…………………………………..GOD loves CMR and as I am sure you have noticed those chirping about CMR being on the “Hot Seat” and wanting him fired have been silenced, likely by DIVINE intervention

Slim, Bama is the one that is choking lately. It sure isn’t Saben’s fault , just ask him. He takes full responsibility for a loss then throws everyone (players and coaches) under the bus. That ass is great as long as your winning but being around him while choking is pure hell .
