As a die hard BAMA fan, I like the idea of repeating but dont know that we will do it. The offense could be the best we have had in Tuscaloosa and the D will be solid but an early game against ARK (in Fayetteville) against our somewhat inexperienced secondary worries me. I still think BAMA will win the west and play Florida in Atlanta but think 2 losses is a possibility. Hope I am wrong!

TB, LSU not ranked? 9-4 last year. This will be Jefferson’s 2nd full year as a starter. He will look much better this year. Tons of talented playmakers, and an improving O-line. And on D, two 1st rounders in Pat Peterson and Kelvin Shepard, and plenty of solid players. UGA, Clemson, OK State, and Navy ahead of LSU, really? Come on TB, I love your articles, but this is crazy. Don’t worry, the Tigers will prove you wrong over the course of the season, and to start, we will take down your #10 UNC in the GA Dome. Geaux Tigers!

Dawgforlife,

UGA is 8-4 or 7-5 or whatever record you had last year. Now you have a big question mark QB, brand new defense, Caleb King hasn’t shown much, while some of the good ones are gone. The only thing left you can count on as I know of is AJ Green.

Don’t you think #21 is a little too high for UGA?

6 from the ACC and how many from the mighty SEC?

• Report this comment

I’m a Tech fan, but I think 15 may be a bit too high. I would say high teens to low twenties to start the season. UGA should be ranked in a similar position.

Tech’s season will be based on how much the defense improves. UGA’s will be based on how well they run the ball. If they run it well, the chances for mistakes by Murray go down (not to mention the time of possession and the beating running the ball inflicts on other teams). If the line can’t pave the way then they better hope the new defense hold teams to 12 points a game.

Anything can happen in a season. But for a pre-season ranking, you check your potentials and difference makers.

When I look at UGA, your O is a big question mark, your D is a big question mark. Potentials? not much.

Difference makers? yes, you’ve got AJ Green. But who else?

That’s why I don’t think #21 is justified.

I really think LSU is good enough to be ranked. On that note, since you have UNC ranked so high (likely too high) – there is a great chance to prove it on the field and bring LSU into your rankings.

Rubbish…the entire article/ranking is total garbage. Any pre season “poll” is total trash. Rarely do any of them end up being true. And as for UGA being in this “top 25″ I’d say they have about as much right to be there as half the schools listed. Tech? at 15? So what they are the defending ACC champs. These days that amounts to about as much as being a high school state champ compared to the rest of the NCAA. ACC champs…least crappy team in the conference…woo hoo. They too lst the core of their offense AND they TOO are changing defenses…a defense BTW that UGA hung nearly 400 yeards RUSHING on…..man I wish I had this article in paper form…I’m low on TP

Bama vs Ohio State I think is as good pick as any but my feeling is that one of them stumbles and loses 2 games and Boise or TCU breaks thru to the NC game. I’ll pick the Tide vs Boise for all the marbles. I think you might have my Gators a few places too high as UF has a brutal schedule this year. Even out of conference we play USF and FSU, and that game in Tally is gonna be a real challenge this year. I’m still not sold on Arkansas and wouldn’t be surprised if they go the route that Ole Miss did last year. UGA in the top 25?? While they do have a favorable schedule, their QB situation is shakey at best. The South Carolina game early on will tell the tale on that one. And watch out for Aubie the Tiger……

I’m not usually one to defend Meyer, but he won at Utah without Tebow, and he won the NC with Leak. In three years of full-time Tebow, he won one SECC and one NC. The key is not Tebow. The key is defense.

I know it may be hard for some of you guys to believe, but there are actually some talented football players and teams outside of the SEC. No sane person would argue that the SEC is not the best conference. It is the best conference. But they grow really skilled football players in TX, CA, OH, PA. I believe that the first five or six players from last month’s draft were from the Big 12. The Pac-10 has the best QB talent in the country this coming season, and is arguably the most wide-open conference. They play a true round-robin, too. The ACC has 5-6 respectable teams.

The SEC has dominated this decade, but it has its own share of bottom feeders, too. Just sayin.

1 out of 20 odds is NOT good. Bama will not repeat, no one has in 20 years, and Saban almost never follows a great year with another great year. ONLY 1X IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER did Saban follow a 9 win+ season with a better year. Just because other journalists for the last 20 years all pretty much thought the national champ would repeat, doesn’t make it any more likely. They won’t, they almost never do. But it’s a safe pick because Bama is the concensus pick. But they absolutely will not be the 1 out 20 teams that repeat, their defense is too bad. THEIR DEFENSE GAVE UP 6 TD’S IN ONE SPRING GAME. GET A CLUE HERE FOLKS.

Whenever I hear a doggie saying something like Meyer is not that good I laugh and laugh and laugh. First of all, we all know the record so I won’t rehash all that but second, they used to say that about Spurrier every year. I remember being at the Fla vs UGA game in late 90’s and this rather rotund loud mouthed middle aged Georgia dude kept yelling the whole game, “You’re just lucky Spurrier!” “That’s all it is, luck, luck, luck!” 11-1 against the poodles in his time at Florida. And they thought it was luck. No wonder.

LAST TIME Richt had a bad season, in 2001 & 2006, journalist threw him under the bus. He made them eat cake by finishing #2 & #3 both times in the country 2002 & 2007.

Most Richt insiders know this, most journalist Richt outsiders, don’t.

Lots of journalist are going to be eating cake if Georgia goes undefeated in 2010, and they will. Richt has a great record against every team on the schedule except Fla, and can get to the national championship more easily than any other year’s schedule, Georgia has the best offense in the SEC if you look at WR’s, TE’s, O-Line, RB’s, not even close.

Grantham will turnaround much faster than anyone thinks. He did at 2x already with the Colts and Browns: COLTS 3-13 TO 13-3 IN 1 YEAR, BROWNS 4-10 TO 10-4 IN 1 YEAR.

Richt went from 4 sec losses to finish #2 in the country 2x.

I’ll offer this totally crazy idea for all to consider.

Here it is:

What if the the Big10 came looking “South” for expansion?

Big10 is certainly seems to be looking East (Rutgers, Syracuse, Pitt)
and West (Nebraska, Missouri).

What would it mean if the Big10 tried to capture:
Maryland, UVA, VT, and GT? Even if Big10 got Notre Dame too.

Seems completely improbable I know.

But consider these facts:

The undeniable fact is the economies of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and New York (except NYC specifically) are all dying.
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Illinois are (for all practical purposes) bankrupt. You cant support major state universities in states that are bankrupt and/or dying. With the state of California facing a statewide financial meltdown, how well will the Pac10 do?

UVA, GT, and MD are all AAU members, and that is a MAJOR consideration
for Big10 expansion as all current Big10 members are AAU schools.

There are very large Big10 alumni bases in places like
the WashDC area and Atlanta.

And, bringing the Big10 more “south and east” makes sense economically and would probably help Big10 recruiting. Better to compete with SEC.

Mike Slive wont appreciate a Big10 “flag” being raised in Atlanta.

The impact of having Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State (maybe ND) and other Big10 schools regularly playing in Atlanta or WashDC area can not be discounted.

Crazy, I know. But chime away.

Another poll that has tech ahead of ugay!! I have it under good belief that ugay will not be ranked at all when the AP and coaches poll are released. Bank on it! Why would they? Every team has injuries and ugay will get them on the offensive line. you have a redshirt freshman qb who will be welcomed to the sec in great fashion! This kid will take shots and throw more picks than td’s this year, BANK ON IT! Can he even stay healthy with a dull arm? No viable backup at ugay to lead if he goes down but i think ugay has a weak Qb no matter who is in there. Murray’s spring numbers were a laugh. Kid may be the next ryan leaf who came into the NFL. BUST!!! Grantham was a DC only once in his tenure and cleveland fans were asking if they could pay his bus ticket out of town. He stunk, ask butch davis, if he was so good why didn’t butch ask him to come to unc which he never asked? Makes you wonder! Ugay had a garbage defense anyway but lost the best defenders they did have last season and what’s up with the 2 kids transferring over the last 3 days from ugay? My point is ugay paid 750k to a guy who has done nothing. He was a DL coach under a good DC with the cowboys. It was not granthams scheme he taught, it was someone else’s. Saban never asked grantham to come to bama, makes you wonder since they worked together at michigan state. My point is ugay sucks, and the top recruits are leaving the state, tech will take away a couple of their targets, and with bama and miami,fsu,tenn,auburn and clemson raiding our state hard, the talent is changing a little bit and this goes for both GT and Ugay! Georgia will get date raped by Ark,Usc,UF,Aub and GT this year. 5 losses for sure and maybe a bowl loss to end another joke of a season in athens! This with a very weak schedule as well.

Tony, you really dropped the ball in not having Auburn in the Top 25 (20 to 25) range. AU was just sitting outside of the Top 25 after the bowls. No getting around the fact that AU will be much improved on both sides of the ball with a top 5 recruiting class and another year under the system. Plus even numbered years always produces a more favorable schedule for AU.

Why the absence of Charlie Strong has not been thrown into the equation with Florida is beyond me. Why does everyone think that guy is so easily replaceable? He gave Georgia fits at both USC and UF. Our scoring average against him has to be 15 pts off of our average against every other opponent over that time. Now he’s gone and no one thinks that it will matter? Having seen the job that he did over the years, I have to believe that it will matter a whole lot. Florida is a talented, but flawed team and it will show up. Putting the entire offense on the arm of an untested QB in the SEC with little or no ground game is a recipe for problems.

So much for Tony being a UGA homer. As much as I like the O-line, receivers, backs etc, an untested QB in the SEC creates a lot of challenges for the coaching staff to get him position to make plays. The new defense should create more turnovers than in the past, especially last year.

Pre-season rankings are a lot like hoping to get lucky on a first date: you don’t know what the chemistry will be, even if there’s a ton of talent and the uniforms are great … and when the makeup is removed she turns out to be pig ugly!

kgator79,

There are a lot of idots out there. I can’t be responsible for all of them. After all, despite my protests to the contrary, many of my fellow fans thought adding Joe Cox and losing Stafford and Moreno was a net plus. What can you say? All I can say is that I never had anything but respect for Charlie Strong. Especially vs. UGA. I am very glad he’s gone.

As for the running game, there is no doubt that UF has explosive players that can make big runs, but its the guys who can get the tough yards to keep the chains moving that you are missing. 3rd and 2 to 4 yards is going to be an adventure for the 2010 Gators. We know what you’d do with Tebow in those spots, but what now? Do you keep Brantley in and throw it or do you bring a “running qb” in for whom passing is less than a certain or safe thing?

Of course, Florida is going to simply out man a lot of teams on its schedule and they will have some blow outs. If I were you I’d be concerned about the 3 to 5 potentially close games that UF will play. I’d be concerned about the ability to control the clock and not have a lot of 3 and outs while trying to protect small leads.

Play coach for a minute: You are beating Bama 33-31 with 6 minutes to play. You have the ball at your own 18 yard line. What do you do? If you run 3 times you are punting with 3 plus minutes on the clock and Bama gets the ball at the 50. If you pass maybe you punt with nearly five minutes on the clock and Bama may get two shots to win.

Personally, I’d rather have our o-line, Ealey, our TE’s, our FB’s etc… than your personell. I think we’d have a much better chance of picking up 2 first downs in that spot than UF does.

Yes, I do. The “magic” only works so long, before the defense figures out the trick. I do think PJ will still have some success on offense against most of the teams in the weak ACC, but he will struggle against teams like Clemson, Miami, FSU, VT and of course Georgia. They’re just bigger, stronger and faster than tech. Defensively, tech’s obviously got some serious issues with both quality and depth. There’s just not much there for Groh to work with.

Bulldog59….Im simply amazed at how much inside information you have on the Gator program. Your insight on how you know when Meyer knew Edwards was going to Buffalo is amazing. I for one when judging a coach and his character especially on the college level always tend to listen to how the parents of the kids who play for him feel. And with that there might not be a coach in the country who is as close to not only his players but also his players families. The parents love Meyer. They send their kid to UF to play for Meyer, not some recently hired defensive cordinator.

Even though Louisville and UGA have a home-and-home series scheduled 2011-2012, it’s a better bet he is a Cardinal.

Jay, stay classy. I’m not an SEC homer. I’m probably as objective as anyone on here, certainly including you. Obviously, I know that USC is, you know USC, and not those chickens from South Carolina. The Trojans might have enough to win the Pac-10, but I suspect that the winner of that conference will have two losses, and thus will be completely out of the national championship picture.

Bama will not repeat. Saban has never repeated in his entire coaching career. SEC Champ hasn’t repeated as Natl Champs in a logn time. Won’t happen, can’t happen, Saban will never ever repeat National Champs. He’s what we call a “Mountain Valley” coach–”boom or bust”, his career looks like a chart of a team with a coaching change every year, up 1, down 1, up 1 down 1. Most inconsistent coach in America. least likely coach in America to sustain greatness.

Dorsey….UF has options with that scenario without going to a QB. A healthy Emmanuel Moody is very good and powerful when running up the middle if they want to line up in the eye. Or maybe they put Reed in at QB, spread out the field and do a QB draw. Or maybe the line both Moody and Demps in the backfield with Reed at QB, fake the dive to Moody then pitch it out to the fastest person ever to run the 100 meters in Jeff Demps taking it to the outside for a couple yards if not more. Lets also not forget about Mack Brown (incoming freshman RB) possibly being invovled in these scenarios based off of how quickly he develops. UF with their personel have plenty of options to not only keep the running game going, but to also just get those couple yards that are needed. Meyer did coach seasons before without Tebow on his teams.

Second, USC will finish in the Top 15. They’re much better this spring than last, and they finished 22nd last season. If the freshman can contribute this season they may even break the top 10. They will be 7-0 when they meet Oregon on Oct 30th; if they win, they’ll break into the top 10. The Trojans play 13 this season. We’ll finish the regular season 12-1 or 11-2; if not better.

Bulldog59….once again all speculation. Obviously Meyer knew that Edwards had probably interviewed with Buffalo, but only Edwards and Meyer know when it was told to Meyer he was leaving. But with all that said, once again, recruits are not going to Florida to play for some recently hired DC. They go to play for Meyer. And not one defensive recruit has a problem with what happened. Not one recruits parents have a problem with what happened. The only people who want to “try” and continually find issues with things Meyer does or expose him for being unethical are rival fans whose teams can not beat Meyer. I think some how you all hope by trying to make him out as some selfish prick who does not have any integrity, it helps you feel better about losing to him.

kgator79…You are so right about how the parents feel about Urban Meyer. I had a chance meeting with Brandon James’ parents at the Oaks Mall RubyTuesdays before a game two seasons ago. We actually ended up going over to their table for a few minutes and they could not stop gushing about Meyer and how he had taken care of their son. And Matt Elam, remember his waffling on his commitment and then saying he was going to FSU??.Well his mama LOVES Urban from the time he coached Matt’s older brother at ND and she was none too happy with that situation. When Matt re-commited at the Army All Star game, he said he was proud to make his mama happy and there was ole Mom in the background smiling away. He will be a future star.

kgator79,

Meyer did coach one team at UF without Tebow and they lost to Bama, USC and LSU. 3 of the 5 big games on the schedule. (Of course, it might have been 4 of 5 had DJ not been hurt. UF’s 14-10 win over a Tereshinski led team isn’t that impressive.) Moody has never shown much. Mack might be the real deal, but he isn’t pushing any piles back due to his size. Not many teams run option in short yardage situations but it is an option I suppose. And don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that UF is going to be terrible by any stretch. Personally, I have the highest respect for Meyer’s ability to get the most out of his team and if LSU and USC and FSU don’t present real challenges (I do think Bama and UGA do) then UF could have a big season. However, whether they finish 11-1 or not, UF will not fundamentally be as good as the 2008 and 2009 versions. The defense is young although talented. The O-line isn’t where you’d like it to be and if Brantley gets dinged, you are basically done. What you do have going for you is a lot of talent and a culture of winning. That can go a long way. Keep in mind that having a “down year” and being no worse than the 3rd best team in the best conference in America ain’t all bad.

BTW: I don’t think that Demps is the “fastest person” ever to run 100 meters. I think that may be Usain Bolt.

I don’t think tOSU at #2 is such a stretch. The little 10 could have a (another) solid year in fact. tOSU, Wisconsin and Iowa (all bowl winners) return most of their starters. T Pryor (20-3 entering into his junior year) looked mechanically sound this spring and is playing behind what looks to be a vastly improved O-Line(which was 85% of his problem for those that only watch scores/highlights).

I know I know…those slow yankees up north can’t play football (see Mark Ingram Jr. from Michigan). I’m just saying to the people that babble about how mighty one conference is and how much Slowhio sucks, it makes you look like an idiot. I know the SEC only has two AAU schools but you can still attempt to do a little research.

And for the love of god, pick a team. Yes the SEC has been the most dominating conference the last 3-4 years (not for all of history like many think), but I’m tired mediocre to horrible teams (Tennessee, South Carolina, Kentucky etc.) going around talking about how awesome the SEC is when it was clear their “team” didn’t do so hot.

Don’t worry Atlanta this isn’t a diss on your city. The Union/Western states don’t look at you the same as the rest of the South.

Personally I wish that all the pollsters left UGA off. Maybe it will give them a little incentive to go and play some real football. Some of you have to learn to relax on here. This is TB’s poll. One man’s opinion. He has to sitting back and laughing at some of these comments.

Tech has a good chance of finishing around 15th. Good call. If they have a few players step up it be around 10th. As for UGA, it’s all about Defense. I’m not worried about the offense. Any time you have a new DC with a new scheme anything can happen. If they gel quickly there is a possibility, POSSIBILITY that they could be playing in the SEC CG. If they don’t learn it by week 2 & 3 it will be a long season. Even with a lighter schedule.

I can’t wait to see the Suckeyes choke this year. They don’t want to play an SEC in the BCS NC game. Why get embarrassed for the 10th time! The most over rated out of the bunch. I put them at 10th at best because of the weak schedule they play.

Right now it’s Bama’s to lose. They are loaded! GO DAWGS!

Dorsey,

Florida’s O-line isn’t where they want it to be? They return 4 starting O-lineman from last year so that’s a somewhat confusing statement. If Brantley gets dinged they at least have Trey Burton who has been impressive so far. And for that matter you can say pretty much the same thing about Aaron Murray. If he gets dinged or that tendinitis flares up then UGA is done. I think you’re downplaying them too much. Demps is supposedly the fastest man in college football not the world of course. I heard it was either Demps or Rainey. Both are world class speed from what I understand.

the Big12 and the Pac10 are discussing a “strategic alliance.”

Looks like Big12 is expecting to lose
both Nebraska and Mizzou to the Big10.

So, Big12(10) and Pac10 would form an alliance of 20 teams,
something like a “Great Wester” conference, with the
Pac10 and Big12(10) being “divisions” within a “Great Western” conference. Pac10 champ would play the Big12(10) champ for the “Great Western” conference “title.”

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohio State has to go on the road to play both of them. Penn State has a lot of question marks, but again will be solid. There will be now “breezing” through the schdule.

Butthole Surfer,

We hadn’t had one decent season in over 10 years? Where do you dawg fans come up with this revisionist history?

In the 10 years prior to 2009 1999-2008 we had four 10+ game winning seasons in 1999,2002, 2005, and 2008. In 1999 we won the sec and went to the Orange bowl, 2002 we won 10 and won the division outright, in 2005 we spent the majority of the season ranked top 5 and about 5 weeks ranked 3rd in the nation before finally losing in the 10th game of the season, and in 2008 we went 12-0 regular season and were ranked no. 1 the majority of the year.

We had several poor seasons mixed in their due to the probation of the early 2000s but to act like we had absolutely no success over a 10 year time frame is ludicrous.

Perhaps you didn’t know that Utah plays in a much stronger Mountain West conference with some good teams like BYU and TCU while Boise plays in the WAC which basically has one other respectable team in Fresno State and that’s about it.

Or perhaps you forgot that Boise played an SEC a few years ago when they played Georgia and got pounded 48-13.

My GOODNESS, what is this love affair for Ohio State….. I mean seriously, what about Iowa or anybody else in the Big Ten….. But number 2. Good grief Tony, don’t start drinking so early, it’s embarrassing….. I agree with the Alabama pick, it is theirs to lose, the will have a very hard schedule, and with a little luck they could return as NC’s. I love my Jackets, but I don’t buy a top 15 ranking, simply because we have NO PROVEN defense. If we can play some defense then we may be a valid top 15 or even top 10 team. I may be mistaken, but UGA beat us last year, they really need to be ranked higher than my jackets…. It’s seems like a long way off until football season, here is hoping that time will pass quickly… THWG!

all you people hatin on ohio state are prolly the same people who thought theyd get killed by oregon… who won that game? oh and as far as osu vs SEC, sure theyve had their misfortunes… but really the only time they play them is in bowl games… heres a thought… has an SEC ever come up to Ohio Stadium to play a game recently? u do realize that the BIg 10 gets the shaft in bowl games. outback bowl vs SEC team in FL, capital one bowl vs SEC in FL, i’d like to see an SEC team come up and play a GOOD big ten team (osu, iowa, wiconsin, penn state, maybe mich st) in their house when it snows. itll be interesting to see the great tebow play in denver… if he ever plays… i know the big ten gets no respect from the SEC, i’ll admit, rightfully so… but all this talk… we’ll just have to see what happens… and for those who say ESPN will cry to have OSU in the title… give me a break… ESPN hates ohio state… 2 words-mark may… and i thought in the last for years ESPN would change its initials to TEBOW… thats my rant… GO BUCKS…

Cry Bama Cry,

OU was overrated in 2004? No. They just got whupped by a great USC team. That’s all. OU came in undefeated and their ooc schedule was substantially more difficult than AU’s ooc schedule. Go back and look it up. The weak ooc schedule AU had is what ultimately did them in. I believe you had not one but 2 AA opponents although I could be wrong. I just know it was very weak relative to OU’s ooc

USC also played VT on the road in Lane Stadium. AU played VT in New Orleans which as we all know is going to be much more of a friendly venue to AU then to VT.

Where VT was ranked at the beginning of the season relative to where they ended up being ranked at the end of the season is completely inconsequential. All it means is that the pollsters didn’t have it right at the beginning of the season.

And while you often can’t say unequivocally that just because USC pounded AU in the booty 2 years in a row that they would do it 3 years in a row I still have a hard time believing that USC wouldn’t have whipped them a 3rd straight time. The USC teams sandwhiched around 2004 the 2003 split title team and 2005 #2 ranked team that lost an epic game to Texas also show that the Trojan classes around the 2004 USC class were demonstrably superior to AU. I have a very hard time beleiving the AU 2004 team could have beaten USC that year let alone play them tight.

You also defeat your own argument when you state that USC beat VT on the road by 11 while AU beat them by 3 in a neutral game site that would have more AU fans than VT fans.

Young lady, are you just stupid. Where on this blog are Alabama fans talking incessantly about Bear Bryant who has been dead nearly 30 freaking years? We just won a bcs title with Nick Saban and you’re saying all we talk about is bear bryant? Are you serious? As a Bama fan you would have to be in your mid 40s to remember the bear with any real clarity.

How2fish,

We played Ohio State one year in the opening game kickoff classic and won 16-10. But that’s the only intersectional game I’ve seen played between the sec and Ohio State. Don’t know why that is.

On our part we’ve had a long term home and home relationship with Penn State that we’re picking up again so I guess that’s why we have no interest in OSU. I guess for their part maybe they prefer Texas and USC which are the 2 big boys they’ve played OOC lately. Would be great to see them start a home and home periodically with a Florida or Georgia though. Or maybe LSU or AU. That would be a great series with a lot of exposure for both teams.

Granted, I’m an SEC homer, but all of you Big-10/Pac-10 fans should understand that we won’t concede that your conference is as good as ours until you get a playoff game.

Oh, it might mess up USC’s bowl selection if they had to play a 3rd tough game in the season.

The Big-10 has 2-3 good teams every year…and they generally get beat in their bowl games (unless Michigan is playing Vandy!). Make sure your 2 best teams play each other and then we can talk. Until then…you’re no better than the ACC to me.

OK, first of all, man alive, thank you for your service! I am a US History etacher and just finished teaching about Vietnam. Second of al, if you attended both schools, what made you start loving UF and hating UGA? If your rooting goes back that far, I would bet is was because we ruined your original (and especially Spurrier’s) dream season of 1966, and used to TOTALLY own the lizards. I will say this though, I am SO sick of OSU coming out of a joke conference, year-after-year, and getting a big-time bowl, only to get rolled (ok, not in ‘02 or last year, but every other year).The SEC is, by far and away, the BEST CONFERENCE IN FOOTBALL, PERIOD! Also, I believe that, while OSU may have won a few games against the SEC in regular season games, they are WINLESS against us in bowl games. Last point, I am aware that we have zero national titles since 1980, but WE WERE unlucky to not get a shot in ‘02 and ‘07, when 1 and 2 loss teams have gotten plenty of shots recently, especially from the SEC, so let’s just all admit that with this farce of a system, there is season-to-season luck involved when it comes to getting a shot at the MNC. I HATE Urban Meyer, and Nick Saban, for the record, because I think they are both glory-seeking, self-serving, egotistical a-holes, who think that they are God’s gift to anyone who comes into contact with them. I wouldn’t let my kid play for either of them, and I OWULD let him play for CM Richt, not because I am a UGA fan, but because he is a genuinely (not flawless) good person who has morals and principles (again, not flawless) that he wouldn’t compromise just to win a game or get a recruit. I HATE bandwagon fans, always have and always will, and the obnoxious orange and blue are suddenly popular here in Augusta GA, and I find that really annoying. Thanks for listening/reading, and have a great weekend DAWGNATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gangly,

Miles is a much better coach than Saban? Not many that would agree with you on that.

Georgia will have the best running attack in the sec? Might want to tell that to the Mark Ingram/Trent Richardson duo at Bama that rushed for 2500 yds last year while Ealey and King rushed for 1400 at UGA. UGA will definitely be better in my opinion but saying they will be the #1 rushing attack over someone like Ingram/Richardson? That may be stretching it a bit but I still expect the dogs and their rushing attack to be good though.

Alabama and Florida are both in deep rebuilding mode? Not quite. LSU lost a lot of starters on both sides of the ball and UGA lost 6 starters on D. Bama and Florida have both recruited very well. They’ll be reloading more than rebuilding.

Georgia will have the #1 defensive staff? Quite a stretch considering Grantham was Richt’s 4th or 5th choice as defensive coordinator after Kirby, John Chavous, Bud Foster, and one or 2 other guys. Georgia will still be better defensively as well but flat out saying they have the #1 defensive staff is a bit of an exaggeration.

Dogs will win it all like so many others on here think? Not quite. Haven’t seen any dog fans saying Georgia is going to win it all this year. Personally I think UGA will be very good and I’m thinking 10-2 or even 11-1 possibly if a lot breaks right for them. But I just can’t see them going from 8-5 to winning it all. Its hard to make that much of a leap in one year with a freshman qb and a completely new defensive scheme. From 2011 on I think the dogs will be in much better shape though. Still could be very good this year.

Anyone bashing OHio State’s Schedule just doesn’t know much about football. Last year they beat 5 teams who won 10 games. One of those teams beat LSU, the 3rd best team in the SEC last year. The Big 10 had 2 BCS bowl winners last year in games that they were not favored to win. Ohio State does go out and schedule and will continue to schedule a big non conference foe each year. Texas, USC, Miami, and Oklahoma are on that list. In the SEC, t he likely schools to go to that list, just looking at teams who travel outside of their state and play BCS schools non-conference would be Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. Possibly Auburn or Arkansas too. But if OHio State played and pounded Arkansas they’d get no credit as they aren’t a great SEC team. Florida doesn’t leave their state for non conference games, so that home and home will never happen. I’d love to see OSU/Bama but it’s not going to happen as they look to schedule PSU non conference. Georgia or Tennssee are likely candidates down the road.

I for one respect the Buckeyes and believe Tressel is a very good coach. If Pryor is consistent then they will be very tough.

I would love for LSU to play them in the regular season. I went to the Horseshoe in 1988 when the Tigers had a meltdown and blew a 13 point lead with about 3 minutes to go. That stadium is electrifying. In 1987 both teams tied in Tiger Stadium after the start was delayed because Earl Bruce wouldn’t let his team enter the field until after the Tigers came out.

I have always wanted to visit the big house in Ann Arbor and would love to play in Austin. We do pick up Oklahoma in a 2 year series later this decade.

“Ohio State?. Are you kidding me. They’ve proven time and time again they don’t belong. ”

Why don’t they belong? You are going to take what they did in 2 BCS title games as they don’t belong. If that is the case, how does anyone in the SEC, ACC, Big 12, Big East, or PAC-10 belong. So anyone that loses in the BCS title game doesn’t deserve to be there. That’s right, let’s go with what a team did years ago and not what they have on the team now. Damn, the kids on those teams are no longer in school there.

OK……………..This is wearing me out. I love Bama & the Bear……… not living in the past tho. I say Bama has a good chance to repeat as champs. What has there have been no repeat champs in however many years got to do w/ it? Also Cory is a the greatest and smartest and richest on here! Auburn should have been in the championship game instead of Oklahoma…….as shown by the score. Saban is obviously a better coach than Miles….if you had the pick…which one would you take?
