It’s a tall order. Oregon, ND and KSU all have easy schedules for the remainder of the season and beating Alabama will be tough.

But we also don’t need to be focusing on this. We need to focus on winning games. Nothing else matters if we lose even one game. We can do this. Go dogs.

Very low odds, but I was telling several friends and my father yesterday that we had a shot to go into the SEC title game with a berth on the line.

Granted, I don’t think we can beat either LSU or Alabama, regardless of site/venue, so there’s that, too…

Yeah, he’s correct about the scenario. BUT, one might as well be factoring in the chances of a team getting wiped out in a plane crash…because at the end of the day, no matter how the stars line up, UGA would have to beat Bama in the SEC match-up. And Bama would take buses instead of planes to come over to Atlanta. So it’s a wonderful dream that the Dawgs might get there. Yet the odds are steeply against it.

Haters out there. Dawgs have won 17 of their last 20 games. Losing a night game on the road in the SEC will not disqualify us from national title. 5 games to go. One at a time. We have the talent. Murray played good enough in last year’s LSU game for us to win. He threw 4 TD’s in a 42 point offensive effort against USC last year. He can perform in big games.

Every year when we get to this point in the season there is always 4-6 undefeated teams and espn is always making a big deal about all these teams finishing undefeated but it never happens. at least 2 or 3 of those teams will lose no matter who is on their schedule. it is just to hard for that many teams to make it undefeated. one year auburn did it when they got left out that was 3 teams undefeated and i am talking about bcs conference teams. oregon will trip up they have not played a good team yet there one challenge was arizona state a team that mizzou beat who just won its first conference game. Oregon will have injuries and have to get up the next three or four weeks it will be tough. when you play better competition your team usually takes on more injuries and it just takes a toll on the body that is what makes schedules like the one s.c. and florida had just ridiculous we will experience that next yr.

alabama is so well coached. they are like watching a machine. you got to give saban and those young men a lot of credit for buying in to him but he might be one of the best coaches ever who knows how many championships he will end up winning. once that 4 game playoff takes place saban will almost always get into that bc then you can lose a game maybe two and make it and you got to like his chances in that. a great coach and motivator in a four game playoff scenario you got to like saban’s chances. all these other conferences think that once the four game playoff starts the sec wont win anymore champioships i think we will win some we never should have been in bc the sec will always have a team in the top 4 and i like their chances of winning it.

Ohio State would get tattooed in the SEC. Just like they always have.

If we finish 4-0, then here’s what will happen:

Alabama will beat LSU and finish 12-0. Oregon will beat SC but lose to Oregon State. K-State will finish 12-0. That means it will all come down to the USC-Notre Dame game. If USC wins, then we will play Bama for the right to play K-State. If Notre Dame wins, we’re locked out no matter what happens in the SECCG.

But who cares- lets take care of business and let that work itself out.

LSU won’t beat Bama. Bama probably won’t lose but TAM could give them a game because of TAM OL.

I’m only worried about Ole Miss. They almost beat TAM and just beat Arkansas. They played pretty darn good against Bama too.

Then Auburn is going to try and save Chizik’s job. Anyone who thinks that won’t be a war is delusional.

I want to win these two and then beat the 2 TO teams and get to ATL.

So anybody want to put some odds on this?

Sure, ill take a shot at it.

Step 1 – Probably a 95% chance of it happening. Not likely UGA will lose again.
Step 2 – I estimate an 85% chance. LSU hasn’t been very good this year. Bama probably steamrolls them.
Step 3 – This one is tricky. Based on their remaining schedules I think there is a 40% chance KSU loses, 30% chance that Notre Dame loses, and 20% chance that Oregon loses. I think im being pretty liberal with Oregon as I don’t really see any chance of them losing. The overall probability of two of the three losing ends up being .188 or roughly 19%.

Taking the probability of all three steps happening and you get about a 15% chance of UGA making the BCS title game. This is an ideal scenario though so its probably between 10-15%. Better odds then I expected.

Will be dining on crow for at least the rest of this week due to my thoughts and comments about WLOCP. I really love the Dawgs and it was painful to say the things I did and have those thoughts but they seemed about right at the time. UF did play a lousy game but the defense was what we thought it would be all year and that had a lot to do with the way UF played. Our offense played almost to the level of UF and we still won so I feel we had the better team. We need to be consistent with defense and stabilize our offense. Gurley is terrific and with Malcome and Samuel, they can handle the “up the middle ” offnese but we need to be a little more imaginative with Marshal. His talent is spped and we are not taking advantage of it. That being said, I will not drop back to the negative state I have been in since USC game and awill do and say anything I can to support the Dawgs. Play the rest one at a time, stay focused and prove the doubters wrong.

Les Miles made the call after the UF game when he said LSU might get another shot at UF…well he got it half right now. I see LSU beating Bama this week in a tuff game so it will be UGA vs LSU in the Dome. If Bama were to get beat by LSU I can see A&M beating us the next week. Coach Bryant always said expect the unexpected and plan for it. We shall see. That was a huge win for UGA but even bigger for Mark.

The problem for UGA was seen by millions when after the penalty on #26 he came off the field and just walking past Mark even though Mark was calling his name. Mark had to call him 3 times just to get the kid to stop and listen to what Mark had to say. That is sad but it shows the players don’t fear the coach at all. They might like him but no fear of any discipline. That is all.

You sure were quiet last week after this well coached team as you claim was almost beaten by a 1 win team

What gets me is I call it like I see it; UGA like many pundits have said should be playing for a national title and winning it this year with the talent on the team

Unfortunately the coach we have is an Energy Vampire that cant get the team up for a game

Case in point just like the FL game; it took a player calling out the team that got us FINALLY fired up to play ball; not the coaches

Richt was asked after the game what he said to MM. Richt said “I don’t rememeber exactly but he probably thought he was never going to play again.” That’s why MM walked away and took his helmet off. Then Richt went to him and told him to stop the yapping and go make a play. Two plays later-touchdown

The only thing UGA can do is try to win out and then hope everything else falls their way. Sounds simple enough, but is it really?

Ole Miss is a much better team than they have been in years past. Of their 3 losses, only one was by a large margin. If they beat UGA they become bowl eligible.

Auburn’s coach is a dead man walking; everyone knows he’s done. They have nothing to lose and the highlights of their season could be dashing another team’s championship aspirations. Suppose the AU team that played LSU shows up to play the UGA team that played South Carolina; what is that game going to look like?

It’s a pay day game for Georgia Southern. But those types of games have proven to be trap games for the presumed winner.

Paul Johnson is only in a slightly better position than Gene Chizik this year, and Johnson hasn’t got a Crystal Football to show for his past efforts. The same rules that apply to the Auburn game apply here. Besides, at some point GT becomes due for another win.

No one has come close to taking down Bama this year; what makes anyone think UGA will be any different?

It should be a very interesting five weeks of football ahead…

Jeff: Step #2 is not necessary. There is no chance, if LSU beats Alabama and Georgia then beats LSU and wins the SEC Championship, that Georgia will not be ranked ahead of Alabama and LSU.

I’m looking at point number 3, and the two bullets points differently. True, Kansas State and Notre Dame won’t have to play in a Conference Championship Game unlike Oregon and Bama. However, if things remain the same, both Oregon and Bama will be huge favorites in their Conference Championship Games and their opponents will be ranked. If they win those games, I think that will give them more weight than Kansas State and Notre Dame. I personally would love to see Notre Dame passed over.

#4, how can you say Alabama is the best team in the nation? That’s to be decided. Computers don’t even have them #1, correct (due to weak schedule to date, although that changed/is changing over next couple weeks).

Georgia wins the rest of their games, only way they are not in the championship game is if there are 2 undefeated teams among the three you mentioned. No one loss team would beat them after they would beat Alabama or LSU in SEC Championship Game, etc.

So, isn’t it a bit simpler? Oregon and UGA would be nice.

I harbor no hopes that Georgia will get a shot at a NC. We don’t even deserve it after the thumping in Columbia. Stars do not align to Georgia for that to happen. Destiny to get to SECCG and destiny to play for a NC are two distinct and different things.

Wow… Some of you guys need to lighten up. Of course all this just pie in the sky. Of course we can’t look past Ole Miss or anyone. And of course if we do make it to the SECCG (still a big “if”) we would be huge underdogs.But it’s not impossible. Everyone who says we can’t be Bama also said there was no way we could beat Florida. But it happened. This is what’s fun about being a fan… Dreaming about winning it all. It’s not likely, but it’s possible. Me? I’d say 100-1. I can’t believe GTBob gave us better odds. See?

Alabama hasn’t beat diddle-e-squat for a team 2012 and of all opponents, wants to play Georgie the least. Out of 63 games, Alabama has 36 wins against us, better than just about any opponent. 38 of the 63 games on the road for us. Not sure why that is; that’s not right. Of the 25 home games, we’ve won all vs Alabama.

Alabama does not have a win over a BCS ranked today # 7 team. If they beat LSU, LSU will drop. If LSU beats Alabama, they are out of the equation, as they have beat NO ONE.

What the hell does GT Bob know about football ?

They’ve never had a football team.

That’s why he tries to rain on our Parade.

P.O. We won Aaron Murray punched it in 2 times vs FL opening drive and ending drive while our Defense forced 8 strips and picks, keeping 6 of them and gave up not 1 TD.

We played with intensity. Alabama least of all wants to face us. LSU loses to us, they’re out and we’re in. This is the whole entire concept of the SEC Championship Game we INVENTED for JUST THIS PURPOSE.

They screamed we haven’t beaten a top 10 team. Now that we have, they have to go back to the Gamecocks loss or UF had a bad game. You will never give UGA its due and this makes you irrevalant and petty. We are 7-1 and ranked #6 no matter what you guys think.

I don’t care about mythical championships – we have a shot at the SEC Championship if we take care of business against what looks like two overmatched conference opponents. If so, we’ll have our shot at Alabama (most likely) or LSU.

If UGA goes 12-1 with an SEC Championship, including a win over either Alabama or LSU, then whatever happens after that means little to me. That’s a glorious season.

But I realize a lot of other Georgia fans disagree with me over the meaningfulness of the crystal football trophy. I’ll take a trip to the “title game”, but would rather take care of the official championship first. One more and we tie Tennessee for 2nd place all-time in the conference with 13 championships.

You are wrong about UF not having as much talent. Also wrong about me not watching Bama play. Many folks said we had “no-chance” against a proven Gator team. I heard how UF was gonna hang 40+ on us but it turned into a Defensive struggle, partly due to the high winds that keep Murray from going deep and effected his accuracy.(insert poor Murray joke here!) BTW, Murray broke the UGA TD record in this game, no small feat…UGAs Oline played a good game and have improved steadily if not a little slowly. We showed up. That matters. If you assume we won’t come to play against whomever we play in the SEC-CG, you may be wrong again…

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The hoots and chuckles were impossible to miss.

Outside Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday, where tailgating tents and lawn parties were abuzz with pregame excitement, music blared, generators hummed and televisions glowed with images of the Georgia–Florida game from Jacksonville, a matchup that ended an hour before Mississippi State kicked off to Alabama.

Fans of the Crimson Tide could barely contain their glee.

“These guys are awful!” a Crimson-clad coed cooed to her date as they hugged and laughed after one of the nine turnovers in Georgia’s eight-point win.

Awful might have been a stretch, but the message was clear: If this was the best the SEC East had to offer, Alabama should have no worries. In the minds of those in Tuscaloosa, the Tide could have beaten a Georgia-Florida All-Star squad.

Given the ease with which Alabama handled undefeated Mississippi State, thumping the Bulldogs 38-7, that assessment might not be far off.

That Bama QB reminds me of Brady in New England. Smooth, pin point passes almost every throw. Receivers that catch almost every pass. A very precise short passing game with a mix of a good long passing game. A monster OL with a covey of physical RB’s that get 4,5 .6 yards at will. Very very few 3 and outs thus always a rested defense taking the field. I ‘m excited after the win, but my football mind tells me Bama beats Dawgs about like State, 38-7.

I also would like to address the others who said that UGA had not beat top teams. We beat BCS # 7 Florida, and that is the best win by any of the Top 5 in the BCS rankings and matched only by LSU. Alabama, Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame do not have a win like UGA does over # 7 now Florida in the BCS rankings. I called for this, saying that we must beat these types of teams. We’ve done that. Check. Aaron Murray has his Signature Win. He’s done that. Check. Mark Richt has a Win over a Top 10 team who also has a winning SEC Record in a year in which he has one of his Best Seasons. He’s done that. Check. Todd Grantham has beat a team who makes the Top 10 and beat a team with a winning SEC Record. He’s done that. Check.

So, what do you want here ? For some of you, it’s obvious that you want Aaron Murray, Todd Grantham, Mark Richt, and Georgia to not be viewed as having accomplished :
1. beat top 10 team
2. beat top 10 team in a season we didn’t also lose 3 or 4 games
3. beat SEC team with winning SEC Record
4. gone on the big stage the whole nation watching and beat a top team

We have several heroes and one of them is Mark Richt who had the team get together and have a prayer for Marcus Lattimore just after our win. I pray Marcus can just walk again someday in his lifetime; that would be a world’s plenty for a fine man whom I Love. Yes, I respect Marcus Lattimore; but moreover, I Love the man. He’s my hero.

Jarvis Jones already long-since was the Most Celebrated Linebacker ever in our entire 120-year history. He’s national player of the week. Again.

Todd Gurley got a lot of touches and the coaches are to be commended for this. I called for it, and they had the ball in his hands all night long. He won the game for us. If we don’t get those 2 TD on offense, all the work of our Defense TAKING the damn ball away from hated Florida 8 times and gaining 6 of the 8 take-aways, would have been for nothing.

Aaron Murray has had a statistical career for UGA which continues until next season, and he has played a ton of games, 35. He tried to have Todd Gurley run the ball, up by a point with less than 10 minutes in the 4th quarter. It did not work. He put the team on his shoulders, and single-handedly willed us down the field on the strength of his arm. He was not sacked. He rushed for positive yards and only when he had to, using his Horse when on designed running plays. While David Greene went 0-11 on 3rd Down Conversions vs Florida in 2002 and lost to an unranked FL, Aaron Murray threw a 3rd Down Completion to Malcolm Mitchell who got a downfield block from Artie Lynch to spring him into the end zone for the 2nd conversion for a TD against FL on the take-aways by our Defense all night long. A team who beat # 5 LSU and # 8 South Carolina.

It’s Mark Richt’s Greatest Win by a Wide Margin over whatever is # 2.

Now, if you don’t want these accomplishments to happen for whatever reason you may or may not have thought through and openly stated, then that is not fine.

We have a 1-year window losing 15 players after 2012, and face LSU regular season 2013 without :

Lose after 2012 season:

1. Alec Ogletree Starting Inside Linebacker, Senior
2. John Jenkins Starting Nose Guard, Senior
3. Shawn Williams Starting Strong Safety, Senior
4. Marlon Brown Starting Split End, Senior
5. Tavarres King Starting Flanker, Senior
6. Abry Jones Starting Defensive End, Senior
7. Cornelius Washington Starting Defensive End, Senior
8. Michael Gilliard Started 5 of 6 games at Inside Linebacker, Senior
9. Christian Robinson Inside Linebacker, Senior
10. Bacarri Rambo Starting Free Safety, Senior
11. Branden Smith demoted from Starting Cornerback, Senior
12. Sanders Commings Starting Cornerback, Senior
13. Ty Frix Starting Long Snapper, Senior
14. Richard Samuel IV, Fullback jerked around, Senior
15. Jarvis Jones Starting Outside Linebacker, Junior

There are others we could lose as well, but these 15 are just gone – all are seniors except for Jarvis Jones. They are gone. There is no way you get your way to somehow present that Florida is not a worthy opponent.

What do we want here ?

I want us to beat top teams in 1 of Mark Richt’s best years. We did that. I am not 2-faced. I said beat top teams in a great season. We and these individuals, did that. What do you want ? Several times over many years, I have had it out with some of you about your statements, trying to re-direct you to what is important to my alma mater. Of all teams, all-time, Alabama prefers to not play us the most; and, they are resigned to the fact that they must play a Georgia team who plays with intensity. Once you’ve tasted it; you want it. Folks wanting us to invest all our energies into hapless Ole Miss, miss the point. We must be focused like a baseball team at the end of their seasons, on being prepared after our game Saturday to watch LSU and Alabama face-off and be focused on beating them. The object of the BCS is not to crown national champion. It is, currently, to take the 2-best teams and have a 2-team play-off.

If this and if that, will all take care of itself. We’re not losing a game to end this regular season and you know it.

I know it.

So focus on beating # 3 Alabama if they lose to LSU or beating # 3 LSU if they win, or # 1 Alabama if they win. A win over either puts us against Notre Dame. Notre Dame is most likely the winner in this BCS 2-team play-off this season. We’re only talking about just only Oregon and Kansas State as the only other teams. It doesn’t matter what they do, if we beat SEC West. Notre Dame is considered better than Oregon. That’s Oregon’s problem. Outside looking in. Kansas State loses out to us no matter what too.

Starting coming home Marta 2005 Sugar Bowl, I have been all over all this that we need to beat top teams in a great year. I have watched as all these other teams did and played for the NC. You focused on the wrong issues those seasons, such as 2007 with LSU’s 2 wins over top 10 teams, and such as 2011 with Alabama’s 2 wins over top 10 teams playing LSU who had 3 wins over top 10 teams. Now that we’ve got the best win of any of the Top 5 BCS teams and with 7 of the Top 16 BCS Ranked Teams, SEC Teams, we beat SEC West and we play – we’re 1 of the 2. That’s all you want. Be 1 of the 2. That’s all the BCS is designed to do, to name the 2.

If you waste energy in the wrong areas, you miss the point. The point is that if we are focused today on sitting down after our Win and watching # 1 at # 5, we will see our opponent.

I am not getting into national championship. That’s irrelevant. You must be 1 of the 2. I cannot be more clear about this and you cannot be more all over the place on it. Focus on what is required, look at that horizon and keep an even keel by so-doing. Look squarely in the eye of what is required only. Beat SEC West. Go. We can pick it up from beating SEC West and have a month and a half to worry about national championship afterwards. Not now. Now, only beat SEC West.

We’ve beat Alabama more than any other team in history. They want to play us the least of all.

In 63 games against us, Alabama has won 36 times only.

38 of those 63 games have been AWAY games for us. That’s not right.

Of the 25 HOME games, we’ve Won 11.

Don’t tell me and don’t tell Alabama that Georgia cannot beat Alabama as well as any team in the history of college football.

They know it. I know it. You represent 2 of 120 teams who do not measure up as well as we do against Alabama.

meh, Alabama didn’t even play in the SEC Championship game last year but they still managed to win the National Title so since that was possible, maybe Georgia could have an “impressive loss” against Bama and still play (though that would mean every undefeated team would have to lose in order for UGA to be the best 1 loss team; and losing early is shown to hurt a lot less than losing late so #s 2,3,4,5 all lost late and Georgia keeps winning).

And if they did have that “impressive loss” with the other teams losing we might see UGA vs Alabama Round 2 for the title game … who knows

Thomas Brown, I completely disagree with you…Ole Miss nearly beat Texas A&M and gave Alabama their toughest victory to date. This is not a team to play around with and don’t forget there will be a let-down after the big UF victory.

You are a fool if you believe UGA can just rest starters for this game. Remember the Kentucky game last year??? Everyone, including the UGA players and coaches, expected the Dawgs to steamroll the Wildcats but it turned into a nail-biter.

With the exception of Alabama, any SEC team can be another SEC team on any given Saturday. e.g., Auburn nearly beat LSU…Vandy nearly beat SC…Kentucky gave UGA all it could handle.

Myself and my co-worker, Shane, carefully analyzed the scenario of Georgia getting to the BCS Title game. As a Georgia grad I built the scenario model and as Tennessee Tech grad Shane did the math.

Again, all we have to do to be 1 of the 2

is beat SEC West team

That’s it.

I say the odds on that are more like -3 points.

We have a Quarterback who set the record here for TD Passes and he has 6 more games 2012 and probably only 13 games 2013 with all the 15 seniors gone all of whom have started here.

We have a Horse at TB Todd Gurley, as good as any we’ve had in my lifetime but 1.

We have a Defense which showed you what they can do.

I am sorry, but you said Dave Pierson that you ran the odds and you came up with 2 % of us being one of the 2 teams.

That’s not bad, as you said.

We sit in the catbird seat to beat SEC West team.

It’s as good a chance as we’ve ever had.

Other than 1980. And, I don’t think we had 2 percent chance in 1980.

You cheer your team on.

You urge them on.

You go to the games.

You buy your seasons’ tickets.

You follow your team.

You watch the recruiting.

You takes your chances.

Been a long time to be here today.

7 SEC Teams in BCS Top 16. We beat SEC West, we are in.

None of this we ain’t in.

You win, you’re in.

I would like to see the situation you programmed, because if it follows Jeff Schultz above, as everyone has said here on this blog in reply # 3 does not have to happen, # 2 does not have to happen, and # 1 is a foregone conclusion.

Don’t believe you can calculate the odds on Alabama until you see them put-up a win over a top team. Ultimately, every year the BCS pits 2 teams who have wins over BCS Ranked Top 10 teams. Alabama doesn’t come close to that. LSU does. Florida does. UGA does. And, you calculate Alabama sight unseen with all these freshman at key skill positions to beat LSU.

Do you mind showing me the input stats to prove 81 % Alabama ?

I think we have as good an opportunity as I have seen in my lifetime to be one of the 2 teams.

I can tell you this, whoever beats UGA to keep us out, is going to have to play a great game.

Anti-SEC bias out there. Yeah, right. That’s the reason 7 of the BCS Top 16 are SEC ?

That there is an Anti-SEC bias out there in BCS Land ?

Excuse me, they’ve picked the right choice 6 games in a Row, and The SEC has NEVER lost a BCS National Championship Title Game when we have been invited to it.

Auburn actually earns it on the field 2004 too.

In addition.

Anti-SEC bias.

Heard a lot of good ones, before.
___________________________

South Carolina ? You mean the team ranked # 8 in the BCS Rankings with 2-Losses, one to Florida 11-44 ?

Odds of other teams going undefeated. That’s the real snafu in the basics.

So, you did follow the logic of this blog. Even though, all these posters have said that neither 2 nor 3 are required for SEC to put our Champion in the BCS Title Game with 7 SEC teams in the BCS Top 16.

I also take serious exception to saying that Alabama is a higher probability of beating Texas A and M than we do of beating Auburn. That’s just wrong.

And, of course, Alabama you have done erroneously as again a higher probability beating LSU than Georgia does CUPCAKE Ole Miss.

I appreciate your honesty in providing the basis.

Can I put up a 10-spot against your odds please ?

I’ll take us.

I presume you will make us # 5 after Saturday night ?

2 of the 3 you have calculated that # 5 UGA has to watch lose, do not have a Championship Game to get that bump. We just got a bump from # 10 to # 5 beating now # 7.

Not sure how many of these you have watched.

Again, to play NC Title Game you must have beat teams BCS Top 10. None of those you said we would gain no bump against at ALL, Dave Pierson, do not play a Conference Championship Game.

If Georgia were just sitting here and # 5 played # 1 Saturday night and the winner moved on, I would concur.

Fortunately, that ain’t the case.

They have to BEAT US.

The 3rd of the 3 above us at # 5 after Saturday night, has no good win and now Southern California is way down and dropping like a ton of bricks.

You calculations are further to determine # 1 when all we have to do is make the top 2.

Beat SEC West and we’re in the game.

Thomas, you advance in the rankings by continuing to win AND teams ahead of you losing. In this scenario UGA has moved up over the weeks from its current #6 position to #3 by the time they play in the SEC Championship, due to losses by two of the three other undefeateds – KSU, Oregon, or ND. UGA defeats Bama and moves to #2 with the remaining undefeated as #1 and Bama going to #3.

If you change them by few percentage points you will move the numbers up or down slightly but UGA’s number won’t get much over 3% and Bama’s won’t get much lower than 60%. This whole blog is about guessing what will happen. None of us know for sure; that’s why we bounce these opinions off of each other.

Here’s another little known fact about the BCS computer rankings.

all were to join the PAC-10.

Instead they took :

12. Colorado – not ranked

Oh, yeah the PAC-12 is just great with no one caring, no one going to the games, worst attendance in the nation, and no top teams.

So, shall we look at the BCS Rankings ?

# 4 Oregon. Note, if you will please that they are on the Outside Looking-In. # 4. Not # 1, Not # 2, Not even # 3, but # 4. With top team to play in the PAC-12 CHUMPionship Game, there is no BUMP. So, why even play the game ?

SEC invented The SEC Championship Game held annually at the Georgia Dome in Hotlanta. I’ve been to many SEC Championship Games where my team was not involved. I saw # 6 Florida beat # 3 Alabama, for example in 1994 at the Georgia Dome, home of the undefeated Falcons. The game has been held here since for us. 6 million people in this city and the Mecca of SEC Football, we offer up state license plates for every team. Here, you see vols’ tags, crocodile tags, even Auburn war eagle tags, don’t see many Alabama tags here in Atlanta why is that ? Don’t see Georgie tek license plates. Why is that ? Atlanta Falcons – don’t see those either. Why is that ? Because they’re new ? But, you do see the occasional FSU or Clempsum tag here. I still think those states should be required to allow our fans lost in their states to buy tags that say UGA. It’s a good-looking tag : UGA tags. See those everywhere.

We came-out In-Force demanding our football program win the big game, Signature Win.

Check.

The BCS Rankings for the novice who know nothing about BCS Rankings have pitted the top teams in a football game to end the season. They match-up 2 football teams who have SIGNATURE WINS to play each other.

Oregon has no signature win.
Notre Dame has no signature win.
Kansas State has no signature win.

About all any of them can claim is they beat Choklahoma or Southern California, or that they will beat Choklahoma or Southern California.

Southern California is already ranked down there at # 17.
Choklahoma stands-in at # 12

HONK IF YOU’VE BEAT CHOKLAHOMA 2012
HONK IF YOU’VE BEAT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 2012

But, don’t look to buy license tags in this state for either.

_______________
GEORGIA DOME
_______________
So, this Mecca of college football 6 million in this city, have The SEC Championship at the Georgia Dome since 1994.

Every team who has repeated and been to the Georgia Dome in consecutive seasons, has Won The SEC Championship Game 1 of the 2 back-to-back appearances.

Of course, Alabama did not appear last season.

Georgia, however, did when Tyrann Mathieu was declared SEC Championship Game Most Valuable Player-of-the-Game Award winner. He’s since been arrested 6 times, although at last report still at LSU going to school. At UGA, he would have been Academically removed.

Drug rehab my hind-end.

So, we return to the Georgia Dome SEC Championship Game, and again no SEC team who appeared back-to-back years failed to Win The SEC Championship Game 1 of those 2 years.

_______________
STATISTICALLY
_______________

That, too, is a factor – an objective prior – that if an SEC team plays in The SEC Championship Game back-to-back, that said team 100 % of the time, has Won The SEC Championship at least 1 of those seasons. Unless of course you are using not Bayesian probability, but propensity you offer-up.

Bayesian probability must take into account objective priors.

The worst feeling will be if we make it to Atl and get our shorts handed to us!! My friends are saying that this could be the second year in a row that the 2nd best team in the east went to Atl.

I would really like to hear that Richt will be calling the plays b/c of lack of performance from Bobo.

Murray has got to become more confident and the only way is for more Murray plays called. What I mean is, we have become predictable on what kind of play we’re about to run. We have got to be more unpredictable!!! Like, if we run the ball on 1 and 2nd downs and have a 3rd and long Bobo will pass. If we have 3rd and short Bobo will run up the middle or off tackle.

We need to do something drastic if we get there like put Jon Jones in the back field on a short and goal or on a 4th and short.

That’s not what I said Guard Dawg : That it is untrue.

What I said is the premise of this URL Link Model is that in order to qualify for the BCS Title Game, they are assuming that a 1-Loss SEC team with 5 of the Top 8 SEC teams in their own BCS Rankings, would not go while instead a 0-Loss Big XII team would qualify with Big XII having only 2 of the top 17 BCS Ranked teams where The SEC has 7 of the Top 17. Same goes for PAC-12 Oregon, who already is behind the 8-ball being ranked only # 4 in the BCS Rankings BEFORE we play SEC West. Notre Dame, I have already GIFTED the slot to beside SEC.

TideRoll,

We will not know that until Alabama beats a BCS Top-Ranked team. That is 2 nights from now. LSU # 5 would obviously be bumped WAY UP if they beat # 1. Can they ? Well, they did last season, now didn’t they ? Will they again ? Not likely – their offense has been atrocious. But, none of that is really the point here.

The point here is that the question is 2012, not some hypothetical year – and the opponents of The SEC getting a team in 2012 have every one of them, every single time, in every single post REFUSED to mention even in passing that The SEC has 5 of the BCS Top-Ranked 8 teams and 7 of the BCS Top 17 teams. Does the BCS formula choose a team with 0 victory over any top team in their own Rankings – say # 17 Southern California, for example, is their only win – or, does it choose an SEC team representing 7 of their own Top BCS Ranked teams and 5 of the 8 Super Elite teams, with one loss ?

This is patently obvious.

And, it has not one damn thing to do with any propensity calculation of what the individual odds are of these cupcake conferences such as PAC-12 and Big XII and Notre Dame with their CUPCAKE schedule actually losing a game.

Every year of the BCS, there have been significant discussions of BCS Busters and other such nonsense, when what actually happens is that the BCS DOES put them INTO the BCS bowls when they are undefeated.

JUST NOT THE BCS TITLE GAME.

There is NO WAY The SEC, with all the support we have in every single one of the components of the formula will begin to submit to Oregon playing Kansas State.

I am sorry that I did not answer your question. I did answer it as the other posters on this blog have repeatedly told you I answered it. You just don’t like my answer because of your BIAS against The SEC. The SEC is the most powerful conference in college football November 1, 2012.

We DOMINATE the BCS Rankings.

The SEC gets one team in 2012, NO MATTER HOW MANY OF US BEAT EACH OTHER UP IN OUR OWN CONFERENCE.

There is not BCS Title Game without The SEC 2012.

2002, maybe, yes. That was a DOWN season for The SEC having that year 2002 one other team other than UGA in the Coaches’ Poll Top 25 for 2002, and that only a 4-Loss Auburn. Alabama was on probation in 2002 and made # 11 in the AP Poll Top 25.

Does that sound anything like 2012 SEC ?
__________________________________

Probabilities of LOSING never has and NEVER WILL have ANYTHING to do with the polls which are the formula input for the determination of the 2 best football teams playing each other in the current 2-team play-off BCS Format.

I will go one further, if there was already in place the soon 4-team BCS Play-Off format for 2012, The SEC would get 2 of the 4 slots.

Look, these Oregon, Kansas State, Notre Dame fans would all get their wish to be placated with a BCS Bowl Bid. Just not the BCS Title Game. In a 4-team play-off format 2012, AFTER LSU and Alabama play and AFTER Texas A and M and Alabama play, there STILL would be 2 SEC teams make the 4-team play-off format.

STFU

The SEC 2012 gets 1 team in the BCS Title Game.

Thought Police, sir, I have noted your posts here on this topic, and should you ever show-up again to tell me you are so damned smart and clairvoyant of the future, I will REMIND you of these posts that you are so adamant about The SEC NOT HAVING A TEAM in the 2012 BCS Title Game.

I don’t care who beats whom in our up-coming SEC contests.

Whoever is the top-ranked SEC team in The BCS Rankings, goes.

That will be either # 1 or # 2.

So.

If LSU beats Alabama, LSU bumps up to maybe all the way to # 1, but certainly jumps all 3 of these NOBODY TEAMS beating NO ONE to at least # 2.

You get that Thought Police who said I did not answer your question ?

I did too answer your question. I did so in a civil fashion, and directly specifically answered it. Then, you run in here like a child and state I didn’t.

You again just don’t like my answer.

LSU wins they BUMP to at least # 2.

Alabama will NOT fall all the way past Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame.

You get that one ?

Look, I don’t have to agree with you to answer your damn question you neophyte.

Answering your question is this :

You asked me if Kansas State, Oregon and Notre Dame could find 2 of their 3 be in the BCS Title Game.

I said NO.

I said Hell no.

I said no damn way.

NOT 2012.

2002, absolutely yes.

Not 2012.

This isn’t a vacuum.

It isn’t a mathematically probability that a loses or b losses or c losses or d loses or e losses or a combing of those odds by multiplying their individual chances of LOSING.

It doesn’t have one damn thing to do with LOSING.

They are ALL POLLS.

Computer Polls are not computer polls. Those too are people.

Go look at each component 2012, tell me that LSU isn’t # 2 after they beat Alabama and that Alabama has NO HOPE of being ranked further down behind ALL THESE Oregon, Notre Dame and Kansas State teams.

These teams haven’t beat anyone yet.

Now, if then # 2 let’s say worst case LSU plays currently today # 6 UGA, UGA jumps to maybe # 3, Alabama goes to maybe # 2 from maybe # 3, and LSU drops to # 4.

Again, in that scenario, The SEC has 1 team in.

Can UGA jump all the way to # 2 ?

Well, those are SEPARATE ODDS. 1st, we have to beat SEC West. You do that, and you are in the conversation. You don’t and you have no say. Again, do and we discuss it. How do I know that ? For 3 days now on this blog you have continued to discuss it. Haven’t you Thought Police and your minions hoping that The SEC does NOT get one in.

Futile effort.

Foregone Conclusion.

Thought FACT 2012 with our 5 of the top 8 and 7 of the top 17 compared to their at most 2 of top 17 in every other case.

Thomas, once again your conclusions are wrong. I actually have a bias toward the SEC. I’m a UGA ‘84 grad and was a freshmen when they took the title. I believe it is very likely that the SEC will have a team in the title game (probably Bama), but what amazes me is your hubris and inability to admit that it might not happen. Stop chugging the Red Bull, take a deep breath, and just consider the range of possibilities.

Been away from the blog a while doing actual work, but glad I came back today to visit. Mr. B… YOU. ARE. AWESOME.

You’re clearly articulated credentials that should cement your defense of the “SEC in the BCS title game regardless of what happens in college football” argument:

A 3.88 GPA from UGA (with 289 hours, mind you)?… “Incredible” is the only word I can think of.

Your Dad was a valedictorian?…. POW! How you like them apples!

Wear your BBA ring….. BAM, that just happened! Representin’!

Entire family doctors, lawyers, and business owners?…. most of us can only dream about it.

Season tickets to UGA?… no idea how to get into this elite group

Same job since ‘91?…. haven’t figured out how to successfully stagnate, but I’m workin’ on it; this damned upward mobility is killing me with the amount of thinking and adapting I am constantly required to do! I only WISH I could anchor myself to one desk for twenty plus years… why would I ever have to think again? Hell, I’d have time for multiple page rants on an inconsequential blog! Sigh.

When I graduated from UGA my mommy and daddy didn’t get invited to any building… certainly not the Foy Center… and I was a summa cum laude MBA at Terry! Of course, I was a grown-ass man at the time with a family, but I still feel really bummed about this now that I realize that other people’s parents got invited to buildings. Just doesn’t seem fair. I’m gonna lie in bed tonight thinking about this before I cry myself to sleep.

Now, as much as all of this strengthens your “it’s only the SEC in the national championship, baby” argument, I can’t agree with you. You state that Independence Hall was built in 1732, when a simple fact check reveals that the ground breaking occurred in 1732, but the building was constructed piece-meal over 21 years. Soooooooooo, it wasn’t really “built” built until 1753. Come on guy… you’re better than that! If you can’t get facts straight on the building where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were debated, or more importantly, where you saved our national economy through vigorous debate, how can one trust your BCS ranking calculations? I was almost duped.

Did that go the way you thought it was gonna go? Nope.

sigh on the next point with you but yeah

summa cum laude MBA at Terry, think that was it – totally awesome

it is Top 5 % of Graduating Class your Senior year not MBA, so think that is it

either way, way to go !

I was in the building. They don’t let anyone walk on the floor boards since they were installed in 1732; but we were allowed on the floors.

Quite the Honor.

Ok so UGA for President doesn’t want to believe that The SEC gets Slot 1 or Slot 2 and the other teams nationally are shooting for – between them mind you – only one slot.

That’s fine.

Keep on plugging

Read them and weep – no matter whom it is who wins tomorrow night, SEC gets a slot.

If LSU wins, they BUMP up from # 5 to # 2.

If AL wins, then are # 1; if they lose, they drop to # 3 – unlike last year dropping to # 2 – although I thought AL was the better team in game 1 and said so, and they proved it shutting out LSU in game 2.

If UGA plays # 1 AL, we can go to # 3 I think from # 4 – have to see if I am correct about Kansas State losing. LSU would have dropped from # 5 down to like # 7 with a loss to AL moving us up from # 5 to # 4 whether Kansas State loses as I guarantee or not.

If UGA plays # 2 LSU rather than # 1 AL, and we lose to # 2, we drop from # 5 to # 7 – worse than FL who has 2 great wins over South Carolina currently # 8 and over LSU currently # 5 moving FL up to # 6 or higher.

If UGA plays #2 LSU rather than # 1 AL and we win, well…

this really is the question, as I see it. Right now thinking # 3 for us. Have to see if I am right that no BUMP Oregon playing no top-ranked BCS Teams since Stanford and Southern California both have 2-losses and we all know Southern California is the representative in the only other relevant conference championship game, however relevant that one is too.

Facts are The SEC no matter what has a team in the BCS Title Game.

I’ll remember all this.

Will you with your BS ?

Many fans have forgotten that USC was #1 at the beginning of the season in several polls…even ahead of Bama. They lost shoot-outs with 2 very good teams. I find it difficult to believe that USC will not beat either ND or Oregon since both are home games for USC. In fact, I would not be the least bit surprised if USC wins BOTH games. go Dawgs…..think positive.

IF you soiled a sacred board in Independence Hall laid in 1732 with the filthy soles of your bare feet ( which is incredibly disrespectful in many cultures, by the way)

THEN no way LSU bumps from # 4 to # 8 on page 6 or 7 of this blog as you claim
