Site says Georgia No. 21, Tech unranked going into 2011

Not trying to be a dawg hater or not even mad that GT isnt even mentioned in the rankings but dont see how they can say UGA is the 21st ranked team after their performance this year.

It’s way too early to talk 2011. Like you said, Jeff, we don’t know who is going pro early, what the recruiting looks like, or even what players will do something to make themselves ineligible this year haha.

This poll seems to definitely not be taking into account players leaving early to the NFL. Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas, and Stanford in particular could take big hits there. It’s hard to say for UGA at #21. Either they are saying AJ Green and Justin Houston are not returning, or the D wont be any better next year to help make a difference.

As for Tech, I think this speaks more to recruiting than being a blip on the radar. Roddy Jones will be the lone Gailey recruit left that helped Johnson win in those first two seasons. Allen and Nesbitt leave this year, and the talent coming in has not looked nearly as good.

I have no problem with UGA as number 21. I still am trying to figure out how they did a 6-6 this season. After all 10 straight top 10 recruiting classes should be worth a 1- 2 at absolute worse.

GT not in top 50? New QB coming in and a newcomer at B Back? Yeah, not in top 50 is about right.

Iowa is 47? Are they losing key folks? Air Force is 40, so I guess Tech is supposed to lose their bowl. SMU is 36? I wonder how they came up with these.

Honestly, CPJ isn’t pulling in highly-ranked recruiting classes, the defense is middle of the pack and we’re losing Nesbitt, so I can see a lot of preseason rankings not liking Tech. Plus, a lot of people just don’t like option offenses, but these guys do have Navy at 44, which could be right. The 2 main things for Tech next season will be can they hold onto the ball and can the defense improve. The 2 main questions for UGA will be can the defense improve and will Green stay for his senior year.

for the sake of argument, let’s look at uga’s schedule in 2011:

LOSS 09/03/11 Boise State

LOSS 09/10/11 South Carolina

WIN 09/17/11 Coastal Carolina

WIN 09/24/11 Ole Miss

LOSS 10/01/11 Mississippi State

TOSS UP 10/08/11 Tennessee

WIN 10/15/11 Vanderbilt

10/22/11 — Open Date — —

LOSS 10/29/11 Florida

WIN 11/05/11 New Mexico State

TOSS UP 11/12/11 Auburn

TOSS UP 11/19/11 Kentucky

TOSS UP 11/26/11 Georgia Tech

NOT HAPPENING 12/03/11 SEC Championship

so, to review, uga starts the season 0-2.

if they win all four of their toss up games, they will go AT BEST 8-4, with losses to Fla, MSU, Boise, and USC. most likely they lose a couple of close games to GT, Tenn, Auburn or Kentucky.

most likely scenario: 8-5 or 7-6 after a possible win in a bowl game.

21st in the country at 8-5? not likely.

However, UF is not a slam dunk next year with the coaching change. Auburn will be in Athens without Newton. Figure on Kellen Moore jumping early from Boise and an early game with a new QB is always a gamble. I see UGA going 8-4 at WORST, not at best.

Think about the football team THUGA puts on the field. 90% of the players are academically provisionally accepted, with Mark Richt knowing full well that they will use up all their coaching and tutors and elligibility and then have their asses kicked out on the street and soon be pushing grocery carts around Atlanta looking for a warm place to sleep. What a pitiful way to run the State’s flagship university.

It’s kind of pathetic to see all the Dawg fans getting so excited already about next year (just like the year before, the year before that, etc.). How long is it going to take for UGA fans to realize that UGA is simply no longer relevant in the SEC? In the national picture, UGA isn’t even a blip on the radar, and hasn’t been since the preseason #1 ranking two years ago.

Sit back and be grateful for the six or seven wins you’ll get every year. Coaching genius Mark Richt may take you to 7-5 or even 8-4 occasionally, but another team will still win the SEC, meaning no BCS bowls and no top 10 final ranking. Most years, UGA will be very lucky to finish in the top 25, and only after a big bowl win over a nobody opponent.

It’s a different world now, and Dawg fans need to adjust their expectations downward to reflect reality.

Unfortunately nothing is going to change until UGA changes its mediocre coaching. That’s where the difference is, and that’s why everyone outside Dawgtard Nation just laughs at Dawg fans getting so excited year after year about what a great recruiting class UGA gets. It doesn’t matter how many blue chip high school players go to UGA, they simply don’t get the coaching they would get at Florida or Alabama, to name two schools whose programs are far ahead of UGA. And that’s not going to change as long as Mark Richt is in Athens.

Get your heads out of the sand and face reality. And mediocrity and irrelevance.

Included in that are Urban Meyer, Mark Richt, Bob Stoops, Jim Tressel, Steve Spurrier (2x). Maybe Johnson will never have a winning record again but I wouldn’t bet on it.

These kind of exercises might actually be useful if the originator would (1) Study the Rosters / depth charts and (2) Look at the schedules. To have GT outside the top 7 of the ACC for 2011 is just evidence that somebody just “mailed it in” and didn’t bother with research.

In 2012, GT will be MUCH better, but the schedule has TOUGH road games. In 2013, for the FIRST TIME under Coach Johnson, GT will FINALLY HAVE BALANCED CLASSES, complete with some experienced upperclassmen, redshirted linemen who will have some time both in the weight room AND the system. AND … a schedule with at least 7 home games (Maybe and with the EASY games on the road.

It took Visor Boy at South Carolina this long to turn around the culture there. By 2013, in about the same amount of time, CPJ will FINALLY have a “program” in place and working. Last year’s Championship was gravy.

After the season the Dawgs have had, I will take #21. However, it is WAY too early for ‘11 rankings considering we haven’t entered into signing day yet. Murray is a great QB who will be more poised and confident next season. I just don’t know how the Dawgs will look on either side of the ball. Unless there is a NFL lockout, I don’t see Green or Houston coming back. If Newton leaves AU, then a #5 ranking is FAR too generous. Look what happened to Florida’s generous preseason ranking after losing Tebow. The Dawgs should not have had a 6-6 season this year, they fielded a better team than that. Here’s hoping that they win more than they lose in ‘11.

Mark Richt made a huge big deal about it when Caleb King barely Qualified for college; instead, he is Mark Richt’s number 11 football player Arrested in 2010 and now brings MORE BAD NEWS for Bulldogs’ Fans with BAD PRESS on-going about Caleb King being declared ineligible to play in the bowl game. He can now try to get his eligibility back by the Fall next season, or Declare for the NFL Draft and be undrafted but given a chance by some team for -0- dollars. Hailed as better than Knowshon Moreno when Mark Richt recruited him and nationally at one point named by several publications as the Top Tailback in the Nation, he had to leave Parkview because of Grades which Caleb lied about at the time, the became the top football player in the state of Georgia 2006 and now 5 years later, a total BUST.

Washaun Ealey also has had academic issues and our Savior Crowell said he is concerned about the history of ruining running backs here at Georgia in our pass-happy offense, which only runs the ball when we are killing the other team with passing.

The polls should start the September season where January ended. If you are #1 (that will be either Auburn or Oregon) you stay #1 until someone beats you. If you have a better team in the new year than the old, you will steadily move up.

Or, have the first rankings in mid-October. But I know none of that will happen because so much media revenue is derived from the articles and talk shows about rankings. ESPN now “owns” college football in my opinion and their commentators have way too much influence on how people vote and on college football in general (see Craig James getting a head coach fired).

If the NFL puts a policy in place that says underclassmen cannot be drafted by it’s teams, then the college players won’t have a leg to stand on. It will become NFL policy, and that will be that. Now that being said, if the universities were to try to implement that same policy, and say that players cannot leave school early to pursue work, that would be a different can of worms. The NFL certainly has the right to make this policy as long as no discrimination laws are broken. The point that I am making is that the players who are on the field for UGA, or any school for that matter should see it as being in their best interest for that school to be successful while on their watch. I saw where Kevin Butler wants son Drew to return in 2011. I don’t know all of his reasons, but I’m sure one is because he cares about UGA, and knows that the team needs him to be there next year. Kevin could have probably left early himself being as good a kicker as he was, but he knew that the NFL was not going anywhere, and he felt like that he was still a Dawg at that time. I stand by what I am saying here, and at some point there has to be some sense of ownership of the team by the players if UGA is going to compete at a high level again. I am encouraged to hear that the current group of targets UGA is recruiting seem to be of high character. I do hope this is true. Two things are absolutely essential for Richt to turn it around, dicipline both on and off the field, and back to basics, hard nosed football practice. McGarity and Adams are both saying that the tolerance for the arrests and general all around thuggery is going way down. We will see. This needs to begin imediately, beginning with C. King if it is indeed true about his academic troubles.

What a terrible year Bama had going into the season pre-season #1 and then losing 3 games but Saban is a great coach. Wait, didn’t this happen to UGA also in 2007?
What was Auburn and Oregon ranked pre-season last year?
Rankings don’t matter and all the AJC likes to do is get the UGA fans fired up and mad at the program. If you don’t believe me, read the articles about how great the GT bowl game is in Shreveport and clever the marketing is for selling the tickets to this game. We all know both UGA and GT had terrible years and don’t deserve a bowl game but don’t tell me UGA is the worst ever!

I’m one of the people that isn’t sold of CPJ’s offense. Yes, it has put up solid numbers and I’m not saying it won’t. Our defense has been horrible the past couple years which has been the reason we’ve fallen short. The part I’m worried about is the passing game.

Now before you say “look at what BayBay did”, just realize, that any kid with the measurables and talent of Baybay will not be committing to an offense like this, no matter how much you point to the Baybay example.

I just hope Washington is a better passer than Nesbitt, and that the receivers we do have quit dropping the ball.

I just don’t think we’ll ever seen the game-changing ability that Baybay had ever again. And you gotta be able to strike deep and quick like that in order to win championships, as Auburn showed this year.

Why schedule Michigan or Ohio State for games ten years down the road? We have already seen what will happen. We will wait until the game is three years away and then cancel the series. We generally play the easiest of SEC schedules until Florida passed us but we are racing them for cupcake scheduling supremacy. We scheduled OSU when they were cupcakes. We played Colorado when they were terrible. We never play anyone of note and just canceled the Oregon series. We are a team with little bark when it comes to scheduling. How do we not win at least 9 games yearly?

The talent on the team definitely has top 20 potential, probably top 10. The incompetent coaching staff, however, with its laissez fair discipline and inability to call plays or train up the players, will drag the 2011 Dawgs down into the SEC cellar even with the easy schedule they have.

Us being ranked 21 seems, well, absurd. WIthout AG and Durham and a terrible o-line Aaron will be fortunate not to get maimed. So much for the offense. As for the defense, the Tech game is all I needed to see to confirm my worse fears, Two weeks to prepare for the triple option, which is actually the single option with that no-arm QB they were using in Nesbitt’s absence, and we looked pathetic. Our 3/4 of a million dollar DC could not come close to figuring out how to make adjustments during the game. I’m wondering why so many folks think we’ll be better on d next year when we were in our 12th game of the season and still seemed clueless. Surely 12 games is enough to learn a system of defense.

Oh well, things could be worse, we could have a socialist for president. Oh, I temporarily forgot.

If a frog had wings, it could fly. Also, in 2010, if Caleb does not fumble vs Colorado and if Ealey does not fumble in three of the first four SEC games ( all at the 3 yd line ) maybe UGA wins them and had that happened ………………….UGA easily would have been 9-3, instead of 6-6. 2010 is over anyway. Next !!

This is why UGA is ranked # 21 for 2011. “Experts” look at the future team details.UGA’s O line will be about the same and the D ought to be improved. Aaron Murray is AA potential or most certainly All SEC. AJ’s departure will allow other kids to really work harder knowing he is gone and now, they can become impact players. Marlon Brown and the kid from Paulding County ( Chris Conley? ) and Wooten and Tavarres King and the 30 or 40 tight ends that UGA has back, will have to pick it up. Frankly, the UGA tight ends were in 09 and 2010 under utilized.

As for playing a U of Michigan or Ohio State ……………..I recall in 65 when UGA handled them in Ann Arbor with them ranked # 1. I also recall the 93 Citrus Bowl vs Robert Smith and # 6 Ohio State and the Michigan State games with Andre Rison in the 88 Gator Bowl and years ago in the Capital One. All UGA wins, rather handily. Not to mention the UGA pounding of the Purdues and the Wisconsins of the Big Ten, very recently.

This recent UGA vs Big 10 record shows that UGA loves playing them. All UGA wins they were and over many years to validate that fact. Penn. State did handle a very fine UGA team in 82 or 93 palying in the Sugar Bowl for the NC. Game could have gone either way.

Merry Christmas SEC lovers.

If Newton was coming back Auburn would be number one again, I hear SEC schools that were once offering him money to come are now offering him money to leave. Newton is what Green was suppose to be or the backs at Alabama, game changers. The only players that fit that description besides Newton are Russel of LSU and Latimore at USC. Where does Alabama keep coming up with all this political mustard. How can next year’s team be better than this year’s team, which really is not that good is it?. We saw how good Texas was this year without their quarterback, the same one that was knocked out early in the NC, last year, making it a cakewalk for Alabama and probably a dozen other teams that year. Jones in gone. Why the gravity on A.J. Green, best one handed catch I have ever seen in a loss to Colorado, so highlighted. The idea is to look good or to be good, which means winning… at least making a difference enough to beat Colorado. This after we hear the world would be so different with Green back and poor Georgia had been cheated out of its birthrights by the NCAA. Man catch with dirty money in his pocket,so far, much more than has been proven against Newton. The real sad thing is if I were the Georgia supporter that put up that money, I would be for getting it back, Green was not that good, if winning and losing means anything in Athens anymore. Perception is what Richt is forming in your mind this afternoon. Instead of going to see Tech’s Johnson or even mentioning Spurrier who has a fairly good shot at things next year and certainly a better perception than Richt. Jeff you are heading for another brainwashing. This will lead to more disappointment by the state of Georgia, but obviously Athens makes a better den for the press than it does for it’s football now days. Georgia is the home of local journalism, the key to college football propaganda, so it knows how to feed the flock. The first plank in that is to make it as easy for reporters as possible, which is getting harder and harder as your brothers complain about the brands of beer and food in the hospitality booths. The problem with all this is you have to play the games. Predictable embarrassments occur every year as the press belch in the background from too rich of food. If Newton would decide to come back one more year, breaking this country club of the southern press wide open, now that would some real entertainment. Like I said the SEC is probably subsidizing his pay to get him out of there.

And for the people saying Tech should now “Fear the Turtle,” I disagree. Mike Leach would probably put in a good offense capable of upsetting a lot of people IF he gets hired there.

Secondly, they are in the other division so we only play them a few times a decade, unless of course we meet them in the Championship game.

I’m not saying you don’t get good practice against it, but its still the scout teams.

If UGA actually had play makers in 2010 we wouldn’t be 6-6. Murray was the brightest star on the team, that includes Green. Murray was expected to make a lot of mistakes but voila’, the mistakes came from the veteran upperclassmen and the experience. I’ll tell you wesley, our hatred for each other aside, UGA could field all 1st year starters next year and still out perform this bunch we fielded this year.

Unluckily for the opponents that won’t be the case. IMO, our defense was as bad as Slick Willies, if there’s improvement there (a big IF) UGA will have at least a 9 win season next year. Georgia still has some offense to deal with. A team simply cannot give up 30-40 points a game and expect to win many

gomdawg, not gonna argue with you on Murray. If he stays healthy, he will go down as one of the best ever at UGA.

But AJ was the main reason we scored a lot of points in that 5 of our last 7 run. Whether or not he was catching passes, he was drawing double coverage. A safety had to account for AJ, which gave our other WRs single coverage, and even helped our (mostly pitiful) running game.

Hopefully somebody (Brown, King, Wooten?) steps up in ‘11 and becomes a big-time playmaker at receiver, to compliment Orsen Charles, who is gonna be a great one.

Until we prove that we can play Georgia Football the way it should be played, then I would not rank us until we win the National Championship.

“The Truth,”
It is a truly small man who justifies his own misdeeds by pointing out those of others.

Anyone can use any name they want on this silly message board…not sure who you are referring to, but it wasn’t me.

Again, pointing out that others do the same is a very childish excuse for boorish behavior.

Ok so without knowing the outcome of the bowls, seeing which players stay or leave, or finishing the whole recruiting process these rankings came out. Ok fine. But can anyone explain to me how to evaluate a program that doesn’t even have a head coach. Look at #32 and #38. Not to mention the potential #24 and #9 coaching changes (key word: potential). These rankings are crap and anyone who is saying “oh that seems about right” or “this team should be higher” is full of crap.

To Hell with Georgia. They didn’t win any more games than Tech yet they are ranked. Go figure. I hate the Dawgs. I hope they never win another game. Ever.

UGA needs to try and beat a team with a winning record, instead of bigger goals. Murray led Dogs in 2010, worst in Richt’s coaching career, couldn’t beat a single winning team. Thank goodness the Murray era is finally over.

Lemay will end up being a wide out at uga. And a very good one

It really makes me sad to see how many Dawg fans get such a kick out of turning their back on us to bash tech. Anyone who thinks for an instance that we are a top 21 team, doesn’t know jack about football, just like the ones making this poll. Except for our qb, we are terrible. We have been terrible, and we will continue to be terrible! I have preached the last two years about the source of the problem, only to be chastized by these same morons.

As always, UGA is overrated.

UGA also faced Brigham Young in Athens in Ray Goff’s era and Brigham Young had his g.g.g. grandson Steve Young running the show. You all recall Young? he um, ah, played in the NFL for years and was a great one.

Well, with all of his rushing yds and all of his passing yards ………………..UGA WON that game. Oh, it was in Goof’s era too.UGA was no good then either but we took care of BY.

Stats are for losers. See GT and their number 1 rushing start in the Independence Bowl, as that was the oNLY bid they got with that stat.

With the history of GT’ safety # 37, Joey Don’t Open My Trunk Hamilton and Rebeun I Ain’t Shooting Houston and others, there could be some suspects close by the GT campus with all of this crime.
Inquiring minds want to know.

Hey Ramble On,

Take a look at the GT criminal charges in the last two or three years and those of the UGA players. I will start with Dog DE Robinson now gone from Athens for shoving his gal toy around and your DE Hall? Is he not STILL on campus?? Did he not play in 2010??? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm???

Our kids stole a helmet, pinched a girl in bar in Valdosta ( highly regarded QB GONE) Ealey TWICE drove a car and bumped into a parked car in parking lot ( dumb I will admit ) and Caleb King driving w.o. a license or a suspended license and T King for a DUI. Not good but …………….but ………………… but look at these charges for the GT men. Rape, assault and drugs.

Keep it on the apples to apples comp.

Merry Christmas !!

Don’t worry, holelickers, CPJ is going to be here a long long time. He will not settle for mediocrity, the way that ya’ll have. He will not change his standards to satisfy a few, like your coach has. He won’t allow his players to underachieve, like your team has. We have won 27 games the last three years, how about you?

GT not accepting mediocrity…..now that is rich. Nerds have a good season (by their standards) and all of a sudden they don’t accept mediocrity. The whole A She She is a joke of a league. If you can’t win the A She She you should just quit………

Mediocrity is the nick name for the ACC when just about any tv sportscasters out side of Charlotte or Raleigh or Winston Salem or Blacksburg or College Park, MD speak of the league. ESPN ranks it way down the list even below the Mid America Conference or that funky Big East thing.

Besides ………………………….Dolly or was it James Madison STOMPED one of your best teams and frankly, I had not a clue whetehr they even had a football team, beyond flag ball.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA

When do GT and UGA play some basketball. We all know that “GT in the ACC IS A BASKETBALL SCHOOL” ………………………..right?????

Dick Shiner of the Urange Bowl Maryland Terrapin football team would be so proud. He also played QB for the Falcons in the early years. So will Boomer Esiason.

Maryland will be one hot team and the ESPN crowd will give them a lot of focus, as they want to see what Leach has left. He will churn out a passing team within two years and GT may get 400 yds rushing but MD will see 550 yds days passing it. They will score on GTat will, if they play and they will beat most ACC teams within two or three years.

ACC just got better with his hire and Maryland being good will make GT’s chances of a minor bowl much, much higher. Bowls want to see passing teams and Maryland will be that under Leach and GT will be rendered just so 70s in style.

GT does badly next year again for the third time in 4 years …………………CPJ will be toast. He is already in trouble with his mounting losses to UGA in their worst era ever.

Notice that not one school contacted any one on CPJ’s staff and AL Groh for example, has all of that NFL experience that CPJ bragged about last year. How did all of the work out for you, Jackets???

You know, I keep reading that PJ won with Chan’s recruits. That is correct. Please tell me what Chan won with Chan’s recruits? Yes, PJ has to recruit better or it could get rough. But Tech won the ACC last year. If Nesbitt doesn’t get hurt at Va Tech, Tech may have won that game. Chan played Reggie Ball. Played him when Ball kept getting worse after good frosh year. Can’t blast PJ for winning. Chan really didn’t.
