Predictions: Smelly, incompetent, soft Bullldogs win again
According to legend, and also Wikipedia, my two favorite sources when I have other things to do, the expression, “Eureka!” dates to the Greek scholar Archimedes, who noticed that when he stepped into a bathtub the water level rose and he exclaimed, “Eureka!” because, I dunno, “Wow,” just didn’t sound scholarly. Archimedes then continued this research into volume by seeing what would happen if he sat in a hot tub with five co-eds from Palermo State, but that didn’t work out so good, he lost his grant and now can be found teaching sociology at junior college in Poughkeepsie.
So last week, Georgia punched Florida in the mouth, and I’m certain I heard Mark Richt exclaim, “Eureka! No more Mr. Nice Guy!” See, because I’m sure the Bulldogs played tough because they were angry at being called “soft” by teammate Shawn Williams.
So coddling days are over. This week Richt called in appropriate inspirational speakers to address his players:
"Bring me the broomstick of Nick Saban!"
Oz: “You clinking, clanking, clattering collection of collagenous junk!”
Lucky Day (Three Amigos): “You sons of a Motherless Goat.”
Alexandra (Witches of Eastwick): “You’re physically repulsive, intellectually retarded, vulgar, insensitive, selfish, stupid, you have no taste, a lousy sense of humor and you smell.”
Groucho Marx: “Now there’s a man with an open mind. You can feel the breeze from here.”
Nino (New Jack City): “Sit your $5 (butt) down before I make change.”
Principal (Billy Madison): “At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. May God have mercy on your soul.”
Cyril Bench (Vertical Limit): “100,000 sperm and you were the fastest?”
French Soldier (Monty Python and the Holy Grail): “I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food-trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries.”
There. That should do it.
The SEC East title gets a little closer. Georgia covers 14 against Mississippi.

SCHOOL DAZE
An SEC first: a shirt to commemorate win over Kentucky.
Georgia Tech at Maryland: Last man out, don’t forget to turn out the light. Dan Radakovich left two days after the Jackets couldn’t score an offensive touchdown against BYU. Coincidence? OK, maybe. But if they can’t beat a Maryland team down to its No. 5 quarterback (a converted linebacker), Paul Johnson may be sitting alone in the dark. Jackets cover 7½.
Old Dominion at Georgia State: The Panthers kicked off a player, Isaiah Howard, who had ripped athletic director Cheryl Levick on Twitter. Fortunately, Howard already had an offer from Mensa. Old Dominion by two touchdowns.
Alabama at LSU: Alabama has won eight games by an average score of 41-8. A.J. McCarron: 18 TDs, 0 interceptions. So oddsmaker R.J. Bell of Pregame.com decided to set odds on how the
Gene Chizik (after the A&M game).
Tide would do against the worst NFL team. Pointspread: Jacksonville would be favored by 24. Question: Has he seen Mike Mularkey call plays? Bama covers 9½.
Missouri at Florida: Missouri commemorated its first SEC win like it was a moon landing. The T-shirt reads, “Oct. 27, 2012, Columbia, Mo: Caged the Cats!” Would’ve gone over better if it wasn’t Kentucky. Mizzou took so much flak that the shirt is off the market. But Kentucky is selling shirts that read, “Somebody made a shirt about us.” Gators cover 17.
Texas A&M at Mississippi State: Texas A&M didn’t make a T-shirt to commemorate its 63-21 win over Auburn last week. But I think somebody came home with Gene Chizik’s shorts. Aggies cover 6½.
•
MAPQUESTING BOURBON ST.
Turns out Tony Romo has been using the wrong arm.
America’s Meltdown at Falcons: The Falcons (7-0) probably aren’t a threat to the ‘72 Dolphins. Tony Romo (13 interceptions) probably isn’t a threat to George Blanda (season-record 42). But I’m starting to wonder about both. Dallas has one win in the last four and that came over Carolina, which doesn’t really count. Make that 8-0: Falcons cover 4.
Eagles at Saints: Suspended linebacker Jonathan Vilma and assistant coach Joe Vitt returned to the Saints last week and the team lost 34-14 to Denver. This is what it looked like when Custer rallied his troops. Take the 3 — and Eagles in a straight upset.
Broncos at Bengals: Points to ex-Techie Demaryius
Bey Bey picks Roger Goodell's least favorite costume.
Thomas, who dressed as an NFL replacement official on Halloween. Wonder if Roger Goodell dressed up as a visionary? Denver covers 3½.
Steelers at Giants: This game is expected to go on despite the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Steelers fans are upset because Troy Polamalu is out again. Somehow, I don’t sense the same level of compassion. New York covers 3½.
Panthers at Redskins: DeAngelo Hall last week went cuckoo on a referee, got hit with two unsportsmanlike-conduct penalties, was ejected from the game and generally looked like the same overrated, petulant phoney we’ve come to mock. But hey, for $55 million, he puts on a show! Skins win, but take Carolina and 3½.

TIME TO SETTLE UP
“There is a very easy way to return from a casino with a small fortune: Go there with a large one.” — Jack Yelton
Last week: 8-4 straight up, 8-4 against the line.
Where’s my commission? 79-23 straight up, 59-41-2 against the line.
Lilly Pick of the Week: The pup did something I didn’t last week: She picked Georgia. Evened her record at 4-4. This week, it was Alabama or LSU. Winner of the Cookie Chase: Alabama.
Lilly seemed to have some second thoughts while eating the Alabama cookie.

It’s the SEC guy, anyone can beat anyone on any given day. Accept that one invariable fact and life might become a tad bit clearer for you
Ah, the popular excuse for why a supposed top SEC team struggled against a terrible bottom dweller. Do you guys really think anybody buys that crap? If LSU is much better than Auburn then they shouldn’t be struggling against them. UGA shouldn’t be struggling against Kentucky. SC shouldn’t be struggling against Tennessee. Quit making excuses for playing bad.

If Tech was undefeated and had beaten Bama, Oregon, LSU, Oklahoma, FSU, and the Green Bay Pakcers, they would still be ranked below a 1 loss UGA team who had only beaten one team with a winning record.

Miss State is just above average and give their AD credit for a schedule that will get them to a nice bowl.
Texas A&M is getting better each week and they will give Bama all we can handle plus some (could win).
This LSU game is very scary since Bama has played so well all year and with few turnovers. I think the only way LSU can win is if we give them a couple of turnovers. I have this bad feeling that is just what will happen. Ole Les said after the LSU vs UF game that they might play again in the Dome. He may have just meant UGA knowing Les.
I think UGA takes Ole Sissy to the woodshed. That fast pace no huddle thing gave Bama fits and all teams that run that give us trouble. It makes it so hard for Nick and Kirby to get their down and distance team on the field and that is what Nick recruits for these days on defense. He actually has a 1st down team,2nd and distance team and 3rd down and distance team. You need to understand that he took all the hate last year for the two greyshirt kids because a scholly means the world to him.

Amazing to me, the 24/7/365 Tech-UGA trash talk. Every blog is interchangeable and reads the same. It’s like Chinese water torture. Even the insults remain the same. Tech people, thicken your skin. UGA has the spotlight right now. Just go numb to it and concentrate on something else. To everything a season. I mean, is anybody at deer camp enjoying this great weather? Anybody on the road to College Park, MD with some “I’m so drunk” stories? Comments on the Falcons?

When Georgia Tech plays a game at home, there are often many empty seats. When Georgia Tech plays Georgia in Athens, they often return large blocks of tickets. Tech does not hate Georgia. Georgia is the training ground for future Tech hiring plans, as Georgia students becomes the locals with “some college” experience that can do good work in the companies Tech grads create and grow. Instead, going to Tech has everything to do with love. Tech students do not go to Tech to get football tickets, so a Georgia fan will struggle with this concept. Tech students go to school because they love engineering tomorrow’s gadgets today. They get so engrossed in the love of their education that they often do two things at the same time, with school work gleefully coming first (i.e.: they program the next gadget app for someone’s cell phone while listening to the Tech game on the radio). Georgia fans, on the other hand, have a base where 30% of them NEVER sought an education higher than high school (that figure has gone up over the last 20 years), with another 30% taking a decade or longer to graaduate with a 2.5 GPA in Sociology or History. Far too many students go to Georgia because their parents want access to their tickets. Georgia parents hate when their kids drop out of school, leaving them with a student loan to pay AND having to pay someone else’s kid hundreds of dollars for their tickets to the games. Georgia parents also hate seeing their kids working for Tech grads, so they try to make up for their educational shortcomings by hating Tech. It somehow makes them feel freer having the Georgia Bulldog football team beat up on the Yellow Jackets. Tech really does not care about football game losses, but they act like it upsets them and keeps their Goergia employees always coming in to work on Monday in a happy, productive mood. So, you see, you got it all wrong.

Hey Holly Springs Dawg: UGA’s schedule is a fn joke dude. I mean…Buffalo = Joke, Vandy = Joke, KY = Joke, Auburn = Joke, Ga. Southern = Joke, FAU = Joke, Ole Miss = Joke, Missouri = Joke, SC = Decent and spanked the mutts. UF = average, GT = Joke, UT = Joke.
Combined record of all the teams UGAG plays is like 20 – 60. The SEC is a great conference, but the dawgs are not one of them. By the way, not so fast on your almighty SEC playing in Championship. If ND, KState and Oregon are all undefeated and Bama loses, there will not be an SEC team in the championship. Also, next year the mutts get spanked as your crapy school plays Bama and LSU. That’s 2 losses, throw in UF and that’s another. Your team is a joke.

GTBob November 1st, 2012 4:48 pm
LSU isn’t terrible but they are highly overrated. They are significantly worse than last season.
___________________________________________________________________________
LSU is significantly worse than last season, when last season they beat three (3) teams who finished in the Top 10 ? They have already beat # 8 South Carolina this season, while Georgie tek # 36 in the nation in college football wins starting 1957 and no Major Bowl Win since either, LOST to Middle Tennessee college in football this season while Middle Tennessee college has lost to McNeese state college and lost to Louisiana Monroe this season, but beat Georgie tek in football. Georgie tek # 36 national university and # 36 in Wins starting 1957 in football, on NCAA Probation in Football and NCAA Probation in Men’s Basketball.
GTBoob’s statement is that The SEC has a teams this pre-season who were ranked in the top 25 and now are not in the BCS Standings today :
# 1 Alabama
# 5 LSU
# 6 UGA
# 7 Florida
# 8 South Carolina
# 12 Mississippi State
# 16 Texas A and M
Pre-season the America’s Cupcake Conference had :
# 1 Virginia Tech ranked as high as # 1, now losing record 4-5 UNRANKED
# 22 North Carolina pre-season ranking by College Football News, now they’re UNRANKED, and have NO VOTES in ANY POLL WHATSOEVER.
# 23 Georgie tek ranked # 23 by Rivals.com pre-season and now AD quits, are # 115 Passing # 79 Defense and lost to Middle Tennessee state, while Georgie tek is headed for what ? 4-8 season ? You’re 2nd losing season in the last 3 seasons’ now. Excuse me, GTBoob, UGA was # 6 pre-season, you know ? Your Obsession : UGA. We are # 6 in the BCS Standings and stand to move up to Top 5 TOMORROW. Don’t hold your breath for anything else, GTBoob.
_________
So, with all these ACC teams ranked pre-season – not of whom are anywhere to be found, what we actually have in the BCS Rankings today for the America’s Cupcake Conference – worst football conference in the nation :
# 9 Florida State
# 13 Clempsum Farmers
2, that’s right GTBoob, 2 ACC teams in the BCS Rankings Top 25, while The SEC has 5 of the Top 8 and 7 of the Top 17 in the BCS Standings today, including MOST ESPECIALLY UGA at # 6, where WE started pre-season in EVERY POLL, exactly. We were NOT over-rated pre-season GTBoob, Georgie tek WAS. We beat then # 2 Florida, now # 7 Florida. In the meanwhile, the OVER-RATED Georgie tek football team # 23 in the Rivals Top 25 which made AJ-C HEADLINES pre-season with blogs to discuss it by the nerds, lost to Middle Tennessee state college who lost to McNeese State college and lost to Louisiana Monroe but BEAT OVER-RATED Georgie tek in the America’s Cupcake Conference, which is what the ACC does EVERY SINGLE SEASON.
Who is the top-ranked ACC team ?
Trick Question. There isn’t one.

(1) If Georgie tek BEAT Alabama ? Put it down son, that stuff is no good for you GTBoob. Georgie tek has not beat Alabama in football since 1984, and Alabama was 5-6 in 1984.
(2) If Georgie tek BEAT Oregon ? In 120-years of playing football, Georgie tek has NEVER beat Oregon.
(3) If Georgie tek beat LSU ? Georgie tek has LOST 5 games in a row to LSU and have not beat LSU since 1960 when LSU was 5-4-1.
(4) If Georgie tek beat Oklahoma ? In 120-years of playing football, Georgie tek has NEVER beat Oklahoma.
(5) If Georgie tek beat FSU ? Georgie tek doesn’t even play Florida State, and Georgie tek has not played Florida State since 2009 when they were 7-6 and when you went BACK on NCAA Probation 2009. Georgie tek has a LOSING RECORD to every team you listed for us to discuss all day today GTBoob, sir. Georgie tek has a LOSING RECORD to Florida State. So, what else is new about some post you post about what if Georgie tek beat these teams, huh ? Tell me about that UGA fans ? What if Georgie tek beat these teams, huh ? God Almighty GTBoob; you can’t really be this stupid to ask us to talk about this, can you ? Is any of this a revelation about the # 36 national university Georgie tek, who is also # 36 in wins in college football after 1957.

To credit ESPN for the SEC’s success in the rankings is absurd. ESPN and their employees have very little influence on the BCS rankings. ESPN sponsors one poll and may have a handful of writers who vote in it, but that’s it. That is their influence. Every other human voter has a choice (and I am sure some of them have biases against the SEC) and somehow they all seem to vote SEC in enough numbers to keep the SEC looking strong.
If you look at the break down of all the polls that go into the BCS standings, only one of the 6 computer polls does not have each of the SEC teams in the BCS top 10 in their poll’s top 10 (one of the computer polls has SC #11). Now, the computer polls do have Alabama at #3, but that is because EVERY REASONABLE HUMAN BEING WHO WATCHES COLLEGE FOOTBALL REGARDLESS OF THEIR BIAS is going to vote Alabama #1 until they lose. Voters are not voting SEC because of ESPN. That argument is just nonsense.
The irony of it all is that when you look at the computer polls that go into the BCS standings, the two teams benefiting the most from the human polls is Florida State and Clemson. If you take the average of the computer polls, those two teams are tied at #21 (compared to #9 and #13, respectively, overall). How ’bout them apples?
Now, tell me again which conference is over-inflated in the rankings? Oh, BTW, last time I checked, the ACC has a contract with ESPN, too.
Get a new argument. That one has been thoroughly shot down.

Who has Oregon beat ?
Who has Kansas State beat, or better yet who will they lose to ?
Who has Notre Dame beat, or better yet even plays ?
# 6 UGA has beat # 7 Florida
#5 LSU has beat # 7 Florida and # 8 South Carolina
Name me a team any of the Top 5 in the BCS Standings, which just started by the way, have beat yet which compares to UGA’s win over Florida or LSU’s wins over both Florida and South Carolina ?
I presume we can start by eliminating the necessity to discuss either the Big East or the Big 10 ? Like to try to narrow this discussion down. Louisville is the only Big East team in the BCS Standings and they have beat no one and play no one to accumulate the points in the BCS Standings to get into the discussion which at # 10 today, they are not. The Big 10 only team in the BCS Rankings is # 20 Nebraska. We can eliminate those 2 conferences from this discussion ?
PAC-12 has Oregon and they are way down at # 4 – out of consideration for the BCS Title game without any good win all season, and now their only 2 games Stanford and Southern California have both been sent to the bottom of the BCS Rankings themselves. Their conference championship game is against again what ? A rematch again then what 4-Loss Southern California and they get a BUMP past all these SEC teams at the top of the BCS Rankings before they play that worthless game or the regular seasons’ game Oregon has remaining against Southern California and Stanford. Oregon is not in this discussion – not at # 4 – because of these facts, not the least of which is they are # 4, beat no one, play no one, have nothing coming up to give them any bump.
Kansas State – Good Lord. There are a grand total of 2 Big XII teams in the BCS Rankings all the way down to # 17, they (1) have not beat anyone (2) do not play anyone and (3) have no game coming up to give them any bump when the Big XII is not the Big XII anymore but only 10 teams who cannot therefore have a conference championship, not that they could come up with a top BCS Ranked team anyway for a conference championship game for Kansas State to get a bump from. Plus Kansas State loses a game coming up. They have beat no one.
Notre Dame – Notre Dame has no big win. Notre Dame has no big game remaining to play to get a Signature Win against. There is no top team on Notre Dame’s schedule. Since they do not want to be a part of the ACC in football and therefore cannot play even Florida State at # 9, Notre Dame will have no one to blame but themselves that while The SEC beats up on ourselves and STILL sends a 1-Loss team into the BCS Title Game, The SEC teams at the top all will therefore have BIG SIGNATURE WINS to give us a BUMP.

Thomas Brown
November 2nd, 2012
8:06 am
The win over # 5 LSU by # 7 Florida is a huge big win as is # 7 Florida’s win over # 8 South Carolina, obviously.
That is a quality team # 7 Florida.
Beating # 7 Florida gave UGA a BUMP from # 10 to # 6 in the rankings and the winner tomorrow night, if it is LSU BUMPS LSU up – way up – past Oregon and past Kansas State to at least # 2 if not # 1.
If AL wins as expected, they stay # 1.
LSU then drops.
UGA then moves up to at least # 5 because of our win over then # 6 Florida Sunday night.
LSU has to drop from # 5 to Sunday like # 8 just ahead of South Carolina if LSU loses tomorrow night.
If AL loses, they drop to what ? # 3 ?
There are those who submit that The SEC with 5 of the Top 8 and with 7 of the top 17 should fall behind in the BCS somehow undescribed and somehow unmentioned because of something known as LOSSES.
A 1-Loss SEC team in 2012, not 2002 when The SEC was down, is WAY AHEAD in the BCS Rankings than teams who have NO QUALITY WIN, beat no one, played no one, while we sit here and talk about how great The highest-BCS-ranked SEC team is because of these games they won.
It’s not a vacuum. The SEC dominates not ESPN but the BCS Rankings. Yes, our own UGA grads and former UGA football players are the announcers on ALL the channels ? So what ? The SEC is like that. We have SEC guys in every one of these discussions. These discussions just started.
The hype is that LSU can ruin the strongest conference 2012 The SEC by FAR, by winning.
Nothing is further from the Truth.

Kentucky would be in the running for the conference championship if they played in the ACC. That said, LSU, Florida, SC and Georgia are most certainly all overrated. The problem is that there aren’t any better teams in the other conferences with which to replace them in the polls.
There are only four elite CFB teams this year. Everyone knows who they are. The only question now is whether two of them will lose a game that they should have won, thereby setting up a NC game between the other two.
LSU should have been among the elite in 2012, but they aren’t the team that started the season by a long shot. Their loss to Florida would have been shocking — had they not almost lost to Auburn the prior week. LSU should go on to lose to both Bama and MSU. Ole Miss is a pick ‘em.

Yes, shrubberies are my trade. I am a shrubber. My name is Roger the Shrubber. I arrange, design, and sell shrubberies.
Nigh. Nigh. Nigh. Nigh.

It’s just a flesh wound.
Let us by.
No.
I command you, as King of the Britons, to stand aside!
I move for no man.
So be it!
Arthur cuts off Black Knight’s left arm
Now, stand aside, worthy adversary!
‘Tis but a scratch!
A scratch? Your arm’s off!
No, it isn’t!
Well, what’s that then?
I’ve had worse.
You liar!
Come on, you pansy!
Arthur cuts off the Knight’s other arm
Victory is mine!
Come on, then.
What?
Have at you!
You are indeed brave, Sir Knight, but the fight is mine!
Oh, had enough, eh?
Look, you stupid dolt. You’ve got no arms left!
Anyway, what makes you think she’s a witch?
Well, she turned me into a newt!
A newt?
[meekly after a long pause] …well, I got better.
Burn her anyway!
I’m not a witch I’m not a witch!
But you are dressed as one
They dressed me up like this!
We didn’t! We didn’t…
And this isn’t my nose. It’s a false one.
Well?
Well, we did do the nose.
The nose?
And the hat, but she is a witch!
Yeah! Burn her! Burn her!
Did you dress her up like this?
No!
Yeah a bit.
A bit ?
A bit! But she has got a wart!
Who goes there ?
I dunno, must be a King.
Why?
Because he doesn’t have sh all over him.
You don’t frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called “Arthur King,” you and all your silly English K-nig-hts.
I am your king.
Well I didn’t vote for you.
You don’t vote for kings.
Well how’d you become king then?
The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Listen, strange women lyin’ in ponds distributin’ swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Oh, but you can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.
I
am, and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master.
What? Ridden on a horse?
Yes!
You’re using coconuts!
What?
You’ve got two empty halves of coconut and you’re bangin’ ‘em together.
So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through…
Where’d you get the coconuts?
We found them.
Found them? In Mercia? The coconut’s tropical!
What do you mean?
Well, this is a temperate zone.
The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Not at all. They could be carried.
What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
It could grip it by the husk!
It’s not a question of where he grips it! It’s a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
Well, it doesn’t matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?
Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
Please!
Am I right?
It is ‘Arthur’, King of the Britons.
What… is your quest?
To seek the Holy Grail.
What… is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
Huh? I… I don’t know that.
[he is thrown over]
Auuuuuuuugh.
How do know so much about swallows?
Well, you have to know these things when you’re a king, you know.

Kentucky would be in the running for the conference championship if they played in the ACC.
Whats funny is that this is not just an off handed insult. SEC fans actually believe stuff like this.

That is a quality team # 7 Florida.
Sorry, but they ruined it by losing to an average UGA team and looking completely horrible while doing it. People seem to forget that Florida also almost lost to Bowling Green. Beating LSU and SC isn’t really that much of an accomplishment when you look at how both of those teams have played this season.

I don’t think so, not with their wins over tomorrow night’s # 5 LSU and their win over us at # 6.
Florida is a quality team and that is why their ranking is # 7 by the BCS.

To credit ESPN for the SEC’s success in the rankings is absurd. ESPN and their employees have very little influence on the BCS rankings.
What does influence the rankings then? Coaches and writers don’t have nearly enough time to watch every team play every Saturday so there is no way they could come to their own logical conclusion of the top 25 out of 124 teams. They have to be influenced by something. You don’t think the 24 hour coverage on ESPN has anything to do with it?

You do not beat # 8 South Carolina 44-11 and beat # 5 LSU and not be considered a quality win by UGA.
You run in here all kinds of sillyness GTBoob trying to say that Florida is not # 7 in the BCS Rankings or have not earned that ranking.
Sure they have.

The facts are you think that ESPN makes the voting the way it is, and refuse to look at who it is who beat anyone who is good. A good team is a good team because they have good wins over good teams.
When you play in the America’s cupcake conference where you have only 2 teams in the entire BCS Top 25, sure you wish that who you played and actually beat does not matter.
Your wish is that won/lost is all that matters.
Beat the cupcakes that make up the ACC or Big XII and look at won/lost only.
Count the losses.
That’s just plain silly.

Every SEC team in the top 12 is overrated other than BAMA. they have been ALL YEAR
Stop the POLLS until week 6
there have been 20 different top 10 teams at this point in the season.
What does that tell you?
People VOTE on LAST year to start the season & last year has NOTHING to do with THIS Year.

Florida deserves a pretty good ranking. Probably around 14 or 15 but they were never a top 5 team and they are not a top 10 team. Do you really think they could beat any of the top teams in the country right now? Oregon would beat them by 60 points. They aren’t that good.

People from the ACC commenting on SEC football, what a joke. We know why you don’t like the SEC bob, but you should respect their dominance anyway. Because of your obvious bias, no one who follows NCAA football can or does take you serious. SEC RULES and everybody knows it. The only teams to beat SEC TEAMS ARE OTHER SEC TEAMS DUMMY…

Watched that mess of a game between Miami /Va.T., last night. It was awful and boring. Tech won’t even get to a bowl game this year. The ACC and their fans are irrevalant in football…
