Upsets launch Georgia into BCS title picture (UPDATED)
It took a little while but Aaron Murray and Georgia eventually took charge. (Brant Sanderlin/AJC)
(LAST UPDATED: 12:18 a.m.)
ATHENS – For as much as Mark Richt prefers his Georgia players focus on opponents (Georgia Southern, Georgia Tech) and not acronyms (SEC, BCS) in these final two weeks of the regular season, it was difficult not to notice what was scrolling on the Sanford Stadium video board before Saturday’s game.
First came the screen shot with large bold letters screaming: “BCS STANDINGS.” Then came the screen shot listing the nation’s top ranked teams, from No. 1 Kansas State to No. 5 Georgia.
The topic is impossible to ignore. It’s why, even in games with seemingly foregone conclusions like Saturday’s against Georgia Southern, some will look at the way things started for the Bulldogs on this day and think, “Uh-oh.”
But don’t overthink this.
Did Georgia come out a little flat, a bit sloppy and probably unfocused against an FCS opponent? Clearly. When a team is one of the nation’s top ranked clubs and just before halftime it is clinging to a 10-7 lead over an inferior opponent — which resides in a full neighborhood to the south of college football’s power structure — it’s a problem.
But after what the Bulldogs have overcome in the past few weeks, a letdown should not have come as a surprise. Most importantly, they recovered. Aaron Murray’s touchdown pass to Malcolm Mitchell with four seconds left in the first half keyed a 31-0 string and Georgia went on to bury Georgia Southern, 45-14.
And who could’ve expected this scenario? Hours after the Bulldogs’ win, the BCS’s No. 1 ranked team, Kansas State, was hammered by Baylor 52-24, and No. 2 Oregon lost at home in overtime to Stanford 17-14. This means No. 3 Notre Dame is certain to take over the No. 1 spot when the new BCS rankings come out Sunday night and, more importantly, the door to a potential seventh straight national title has swung back open for the SEC.
Simplifying this from Georgia’s viewpoint: If the Dogs win their next two games over Georgia Tech next week and Alabama in the SEC championship game, they likely will wind up in their first BCS championship game. Entering the week, Alabama ranked fourth in the BCS and Georgia was fifth.
ESPN’s Brad Edwards projects that the top five in the new BCS rankings will be: 1) Notre Dame; 2.) Alabama; 3.) Georgia, 4.) Florida, 5.) Oregon
After Stanford’s win in overtime, several Georgia players celebrated on Twitter, with Murray sending out the message: “Yesssssssssssss!!!!!! The Murray household just went crazyyyyy!!!!!!”

Richt has tried his best to steer the talk away from the BCS. Most of the first half of the Georgia Southern game showed us why. As Richt said of the first half, “We were fortunate to come out of there even with the lead.”
No kidding. With Georgia leading 10-7, a personal foul/chop block penalty by an Eagles’ lineman negated a first-and-goal situation from the Dogs’ five-yard-line. That set up a 39-yard field goal attempt that Georgia Southern missed. It set the backdrop for a touchdown drive going in the

other direction. Instead of facing a potent halftime deficit of 14-10, Georgia led 17-7.
“I feel like that swung the mood in the stadium and on the sideline,” wide receiver Tavarres King said.
From that point on, it was Aaron Murray-to-anybody. He threw touchdown passes on four straight possessions.
Should Georgia have let an FCS opponent hang around that long? No.
But in the end, poll voters and BCS computers will see the lopsided final score. This certainly isn’t the first time the Dogs have played to the level of their competition. But the objectives Saturday were to win and use the Eagles’ option offense as a scout team for next week’s game against Georgia Tech. In that sense, mission accomplished.
“I don’t know how the BCS does things,” nose guard John Jenkins said. “But if that (45-14) looks good on style points, hey, we’re styling.”
There was no stylin’ early. After an opening touchdown drive, Georgia scored three points on the next possessions (fumbling once) against a Georgia Southern defense that had given up 88 points to your basic non-BCS outfits: UT-Chattanooga, Appalachian State and Howard.
Pick your cliche:
“We were shooting ourselves in the foot,” Murray said.
“Self-inflicted wounds,” offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said.
Georgia defensive linemen were getting upset by what they perceived as Georgia Southern’s intentional chop blocking. They were penalized only once, knocking down Georgia’s Kwame Geathers, but Jenkins said, “I felt like I was sliced and diced that game.”
But both the defense endured and Murray began shredding the Eagles’ secondary.
Actually, Murray has torn everybody apart lately. Since the fourth quarter of the Florida game, he has completed 62 of 88 for 1,005 yards, 12 touchdowns and zero interceptions. “Is he eating Wheaties or something?” King said.
The Dogs continued attacking to the final minutes, even after putting in the second-string defense. The last touchdown pass came by Parker Welch with 3:13 left. The thought occurred that they were trying to impress voters and computers. But Richt and Bobo both denied that.
“We had three runs called but they kept bringing both safeties on blitzes,” Bobo said. “On third down I was like, ‘OK, we’ve got to throw it. We have to protect our backs, too.’”
Richt never has been a pour-it-on coach. If anything, he has been accused of being just the opposite. So nobody is going to complain. And by next week people will only remember the score.

UGA is the most balanced offense in the nation, and today it showed.
Georgia Southern scored 21 points on Bama, but only 14 points on UGA.
Georgia Southern committed to trying to stop the run, so UGA went to the air for 5 td’s.
Like Bobo & Grantham’s adjustments at halftime too, both dominated the 3rd quarter, and after the 3rd it was as usual now, game over.
UGA will be favored for the Bama game, and being the most balanced offense in the nation, and really, the best offense + defense in the nation combo, UGA should get invited to Miami.

Jeff, I know the “thought” crossed your mind that UGA was running up the score even though the second string was in…are you serious??? You can accuse UGA of a lot of things…but that is one thing Richt has never done. I can’t believe you would suggest it.
“And by next week people will only remember the score.”
Well, ha…maybe you can tweet the link for this column to all voters in the coaches and harris polls and ensure that they know UGA struggled against GSU. It would be a shame if they only saw the final score and actually thought UGA took care of business you know?
Say what you want, but Alabama only had a 10 pt lead at halftime vs this same team last year. I’m not disappointed at all with UGA.

I was at the game today. I don’t know what game Jeff was watching but Georgia came out sharp, marched down the field and scored a touchdown. They never trailed in the game. Nobody in the stands was complaining. Noboby was ever worried. Georgia Southern is a good team. They are 8-2 (now 8-3) and will likely go far in the playoffs. Sure, the game was close but Kansas State is actually trailing Baylor. Anybody who complains about the game today is being silly and should not be taken seriously.

I’m waiting for the Tech fans to come on here and pound there chest and point to their mediocre record and declare they’re the best. This team would give Tech all they want and i think Southern has a better offense. As far as the negative slant by Schultz, its par for the course. We’re told countless time that our defense sucks, (it doesn’t) or offense starts slow, (it hasn’t) and our coaching is terrible, (it isn’t). This is the best offense in this schools history and our defense has finally clicked. UGA will shock the world in atlanta. Till then expect more columns like this.

Baylor beating K State and Stanford beat Oegreon. This setting up perfect with Dawgs winning BCS champs. And we get to shut the Bammer pie holes and that dirty Saban in process. Winning SEC means best team in SEC that’s is deserving of national champs. Dawgs first get chance to beatdown on pestky bugs. We showed today what happens when the gimickey high schooler offense play against a real team with talents. We displays dominants that goning to happen worse next week to now with extra week prepping and scrimmages it today. Now we unload the whooping can on nerds when we we expose talents. But the final score blow out is 48-13 cause that Al Grobe designs Defensive got holes that is swiss cheese.

We’ll see what happens when the choir boys play a real team with a coach that doesn’t mind publicly embarrassing his players. If we had an a-hole like that for a coach, then we would be winners too. Anyone with sense can see that Richt and his loser staff doesn’t know how to coach.

That chop block and cut blocking is dirty business. The player should be thrown out of the game, the team penalized and the coach reprimanded. That type of blocking is meant to inflick permanent inury. That play against the Georgia player was scary.

IF you watch the replay of the supposed chop block you would see that the GSU player was blocked into the UGA player. No intentional chop block happened. Richt’s team sent video to the refs to “educate” them. Unbelievable. All the hype about this is embarrassing to UGA. Slightly diiferent game without that crap call. GSU played some tough D. They need some good DBs and a field goal kicker and they’re in much better shape.

Why this national media obsession with Notre Dame? They aren’t in any conference. They play absolutely nobody. Two of their “wins” this season were in overtime games. One of which was a triple overtime game. A third game was won by 3 points. They blow out no one of any note. If the Georgia Bulldogs beat ‘Bama — they will destroy Notre Dame in the national championship game — should that fraud of a team beat Southern Cal next week — which is not very likely at all. Georgia vrs. Alabama in the SEC Champioship game is the BIG ONE! Win that — and it looks like clear sailing after that.

It’s only UGA/UF rematch if ND gets stomped by USC, which is not likely with Barkley hurt, and an Oregon loss to USC. Even then, KSU may jump UF if the media starts griping about another all-SEC BCS title game. (Of course, they will not gripe about an Alabama/Florida title game because the media would cash in on that game.)

This years Bama defense is not as good as last years. They won’t stop Georgia’s offense. They have no edge pass rusher this year. We have 2 in Jarvis Jones and Jordan Jenkins. I don’t see Bama’s offense doing a lot against Georgia’s defense. Especially with them getting a lot of practice for 2 weeks stopping the run.

UGA matches up well with Bama. Bama has no dominant pass rusher and UGA is excellent passing the ball. Bama has a suspect secondary as well. It could go either way but its a good match up for UGA. South Carolina was a bad match up for UGA because of their killer d line. Also, the defense was a mess because they weren’t very cohesive at the time due to some suspended players being reintegrated. I think if UGA does win out everyone needs to thank Shawn Williams. Ever since he called out the defense it has looked light years better.

Wow.
In-state rival Tennessee had won 34 of the past 35 games in this series coming into this game. The Commodores (7-4, 5-3 Southeastern Conference) also snapped a 14-game skid against Tennessee at home with their first win in Nashville since 1982 and the most points they’ve scored against the Vols since a 51-7 win in 1923.
Vanderbilt also had its biggest margin of victory over Tennessee since a 26-0 win in 1954 in a game the Commodores were held to a pair of field goals by Carey Spear after having first-and-goal at the Volunteers’ 5 and closer. The Commodores also won five SEC games for the first time since 1935.
The Vols (4-7, 0-7) haven’t had three straight losing seasons since 1909-11. They also will miss out on a bowl game in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1976-1978.

Joke do you have any football knowledge at all? Football is all about match ups. What one team does against another has no bearing on what they will do against a different team. That’s why I called the Stanford, Oregon game for Stanford last week. It was a bad match up for Oregon. Stanford had the #1 defense against the rush. And oh look they shut down Oregon. Match ups are what football is all about. Do you even watch games or do you just look up stats?

Ranked number 1 all year, 1 week off, AL vs ND. yeah right. ND, what 2 or 3 overtimes to beat Pitt. Palease.
14*168 = 2352 – 168 = 2184 hours Bama odds on favorite. wow 92% of the regular season. As we say in T town. ROLL TIDE!

It doesn’t matter now you just showed your football knowledge. The only thing that matters for them now is win out. Because they actually play #2. So if they don’t lose anymore, they will pass number two. So even if they were 2 and Bama 3….they would still have to beat Bama..,wow are you really that slow that you can’t understand that. So that loss to USC is irrelevant now just as Bama’s to A&m is.

I’ve been saying since we beat Florida, when Aaron Murray put this team on his back, tried to hand-off to Todd Gurley for the winning drive 4th quarter game in the balance, and willed this team into the end zone on the considerable strength of his arm throwing the TD pass to Malcolm Mitchell with the key downfield block by Artie Lynch to spring him into the end zone, that the winner of The SEC Championship Game would represent 6 of the top 9 in the BCS Rankings SEC teams against Notre Dame and that Notre Dame has no Aaron Murray. I want Notre Dame.
I’ve been saying that we should throw the football to Chris Conley since the 1st game of the season, and that Malcolm Mitchell and he are our 2 best receivers. I really like Michael Bennett, and we get him back, too, 2013. The offense returns 2013. The Defense is showing some signs that we will have some defenders 2013, as well.
I’ve been pointing out that our win over Florida was the best win of any of the top-ranked BCS teams, and that the winner of The SEC Championship would have wins over # 6 today Florida maybe # 5 now maybe even # 4, and # 4 today Alabama most likely # 2 now Alabama. I’d been saying that Alabama would lose and did to Texas A and M, and that no matter what the winner of The SEC Championship would represent The SEC in The SEC’s finest hour ever 2012, and would either have these 2 great wins by us, or if Alabama wins would have their win over # 7 today LSU maybe moving up to # 6 now and over # 4 Georgia # 5 today but would move up to # 4 because I guaranteed Kansas State loses.
That there would be (1) The SEC in 1-slot and (2) Notre Dame playing in the BCS 2-team 2012 NC Title Game.
I’ve taken on all comers on the point for the last month on each and every blog. Pre-season, I figured we’d beat Florida, but I never figured they would beat all 3 teams they’ve beat this season today # 7 LSU # 8 Texas A and M and # 9 South Carolina. No one did. Even Florida fans themselves in here figured Florida was too weak on offense, but had a stifling defense, to do well. Certainly the game against Texas A and M was a great barometer of how well Florida would do 2012. Johnny Football had not played, since he was redshirted as a freshman after scholarship offers from Oregon and Stanford, but once he did, he emerged as the player 2012. There was talk of a player on Kansas State, but he had not beat anyone.
There was talk of Aaron Murray, but he too had beat no one. But, he fixed all that on a day # 4 Florida was wholly unable to score a single TD against us, taking the 1st drive for us in for the TD and just single-handedly willing us to the win, game in the balance, to put # 4 Florida away.
There was talk of Jarvis Jones, but his injuries held him back some : Not so, Aaron Murray. I thought Aaron Murray had banged his throwing shoulder trying to heave the ball deflected at the line on a jailhouse blitz on 3rd down, up at the time 38-7. From my vantage point, it looked like the tough quarterback for UGA was grimacing in pain. Maybe what I saw was the competitor he was grimacing up 38-7 that he failed on the deflected pass attempt ? I hope so.
10-14 then 10-10 I thought it would be. Then, just as against Florida, in less than 60 ticks, Aaron Murray had done it once again with the most touchdowns ever in an UGA season – although in fairness when comparing anything to the past, you just have to point out we have 14-game seasons nowadays compared to the 10 or 11 game seasons of the past. Instead, it was 17-7, and the game was over the New York nanosecond that Kwame Geathers was engaged in a block at the line high, when the Georgia Southern University’s left offensive tackle just on the snap lunged directly for big Kwame Geathers’ legs, and in the scary moment, leg-whipped Kwame Geathers’ with the left offensive tackles entire body and to the turf in a dangerous moment, Kwame Geathers crumpled to the sacred ground the flag upon him.
Herein lies why with but 64 scholarship recruits remaining plus 1 transfer-in, why we should never play Georgie tek in football. Their fight song says : “To Hell with Georgia” and therefore anything goes, smash our fans’ faces, play Most Wanted Felon Criminal Reuben Houston against us the whole entire game and still lose. They do not care. Do anything that will ruin us, on NCAA Probation, the CHEATERS are again 2012 in FOOTBALL.
We need to be in tack 1 week after Saturday at 4pm at the Georgia Dome. We’ve made our plans. National Stage, the whole world watching as # 3 Georgia takes on # 2 Alabama when we’ve played Alabama 63 times losing to them but 36 with 38 of the game oddly at home for Alabama while in the 25 home games for us Alabama has been able to beat us but 14 times, and make no mistake about it, the Georgia Dome has always been home games for me watching us here too every time.
Why even play Georgie tek ? Nothing to gain and everything to lose. Georgie tek cannot recruit. They act as if they have recruited the smartest football players the world-over, then we see they cannot count to 4, while none of them ever graduate. Oh, and that Georgie tek is the # 36 best university. We’re # 36 ! We’re # 36 like they are # 1 Harvard, you know ?
Georgia Southern University is a fine football team who played Alabama better than they played us, and whom I said would lose to us 32-17 or so. I didn’t count on Parker Welsh to actually do something and score a TD on a fabulous juggling act of a pass thrown into the back of the defender, which Justin Scott-Wesley just out-jumped his man and snatched the pass securing it as he hit the grass.
We might both play for the national championship, them with 6 NC and us with 6 NC – both put up our 7th NC 2012. That would leave Georgie tek in the dust, who has 6 NC in the very same polls who have ranked us # 1 six times to-date going into this season.
“(Fumbling Once)” Yeah, Jeff Schultz that was that fumble, right ? Walk-on 5′ 10″ Rhett McGowan’s fumble is what put us in the situation of staring at a 10-14 or 10-10 funk to contemplate all half-time. Then, later in the game, as if on cue, Rhett McGowan back there fielding punts as a walk-on in our Punt Safe BS never gaining a yard while all these other teams, return 89-yard punt returns and even return missed field goals against us for 70 yards, fumbled again.
Why don’t we put a top guy back there fielding punts ? Oh, you want to argue about Malcolm Mitchell jerked around position to position all season ? What about Chris Conley, since he is going to be in the NFL soon as a receiver ? Because we have no one to evaluate and our coach likes to play walk-ons so he can say what a great story them as walk-ons you know ?
Our Special Teams’ suck.
The only thing that I remember is that I told you the winner of The SEC Championship Game would represent the 6 of the top 9 BCS-ranked SEC teams in the NC Title Game, no matter what. Now, instead of arguing that, you can what ? Act like we didn’t play Georgia Southern University better than Alabama ? Trust me, Alabama knows the Notre Dame game is easy too, easier than Georgia Southern University; and that of all teams, Alabama wants to face us less than any ever. We’ve got it going on, while Alabama has all these freshmen at key positions, and has no Todd Gurley 1000-yard rusher, has no Aaron Murray most Touchdowns scored of any SEC quarterback ever soon, has no Alec Ogletree who will excel at the next level, and who has no Jarvis Jones our most celebrated linebacker in our 120-year storied Top 10 Football Program in Wins All-Time.

Hahaha stupid Georgia fans actually think they stand a chance against Alabama. Remember LSU last season? Yeah, Alabama is much better than the LSU team that made Georgia look like a high school team last year. It’s going to be hilarious when GT runs all over UGA. Dumbasses, aside from last year, Georgia has barely squeezed by tech or even lost to them over the last four years. Stupid ignorant Georgia fans… Quit bitching because you’re jealous that tech grads actually have money and real jobs to occupy their time, rather than idolizing college football players who are far overrated anyway. National champs…. Hahaha that’s a joke. And shutting out one of the best offenses in the country? Yeahhhh right. Vad Lee is going to destroy Georgia shaky and extremely inconsistent defense. I think lattimore single-handedly showed that Georgia can’t defend the run for anything. Gah thank God for Georgia fans. Their undeserved arrogance always gives tech fans a good laugh, especially since they’re far more intelligent and realize life isn’t all about football. Look at the stats you trash, Georgia doesn’t beat good teams, and hasnt had a dominant game against tech in years.

And wow, ThomasBrown, you’re the epitome of dumbass Georgia fan. TECH is actually the 7th best university in the country overall, 3rd for engineering. Now where exactly does Georgia fall in that list? In the 40’s or 50’s I believe… haha it’s a joke that you compare the two schools at all, and then try to act as if football is the deciding factor in whether and institution is worthy of being associated with or not… What a redneck thing to imply. I think tech grads are perfectly fine having an average football team in exchange for the substantial amount of difference in their payroll compared to uga grads and fans(most of which have absolutely nothing to do with the actual school). So yeah, keep bragging about your football team to your boss, who is likely a Tech grad,, but he’s still the one making it somewhere in life because he cared more about actual life than football.

As long as a the opposing team is still trying to block, tackle, and score, there is no such thing as running up the score. GSU was still trying to run it with less than a minute to go rather than just take a knee. Guys can get hurt for nothing. Cut blocking should be illegal the same as helmet to helmet. Blowing out a guy’s knee with the cut blocks is the cowardly way to try and win. Bring on Tech and Bama.

If uga beats bands they’ll still rank oregon second, even if Oregon is left out of the pac12cg. its ND vs Bama/Oregon but SEC fatigue, a very weak schedule and a 35 point beating keeping us out.
different story if we’d even tried to play south Carolina. Kirk even mentioned doing the south Carolina game and how we didn’t show up.

Use your real handle. What are you ashamed of it ? Our Defense is quite consistently a Top 25 Total Defense in the NCAA, while your Defense is # 68 in the nation. We’ve beat as our best win the # 4 Florida team who beat # 7 LSU # 8 Texas and M and # 9 South Carolina.
Georgie tek, # 36 university, on NCAA Probation back-to-back in Football 2012, is 6-5 and might win the ACC CHUMPionship and has what as your best win ?
5-6 Virginia Tech ? No. You LOST to them.
6-5 Miami of Florida ? No. You LOST to them, too.
6-5 Brigham Young college when you ran in here to the UGA blogs pre-game to brag Georgie tek had not lost to a religious-based college in how long was it ? No. You LOST to them, as well.
Middle Tennessee college ? No You LOST to them, then the next week they LOST to Louisiana – Monroe.
You have LOST to lousy football team after lousy football team, and yet might win the ACC CHUMPionship. Gag on your 1-10 record against Mark Richt who has just put up his 8th 10-Win Season in his 12-year era here beating your fannies like a Dungeons’ and Dragons’ drum.
Vad Lee. What an utter joke of a quarterback with only 3 touchdown passes all entire season long and is so great, he lost his entire freshman season, not even getting to play 1 snap, after being ranked the # 47 qb in the nation as a recruit. Be realistic. He’s a fine young man who did not have much to choose from on scholarship offers to college, and who sold his soul to the devil going to that high-school offense best-suited to FCS than to FBS.
You’ve LOST 7 bowl games in a row and have not won a Major Bowl Game starting 1957, fifty-five years of futility for Georgie tek.
If you root for your team to play in the ACC CHUMPionship Game, your season will end 6-7; does that keep you from even playing in a bowl game with all your horrible losses after losses after losses after losses 2012 on NCAA Probation in Football as the # 36 university.
I am not certain if you can play in a bowl game with a 6-7 loss, and if you did, it would be 6-8 then anyway.
ACC CHUMPionship Game 6-5 Georgie tek with 4 horrid losses
Yeah, you’re a Georgie tek nerd.

Thomas Brown
November 18th, 2012
5:59 am
So every team in every conference has lost a game.
That was a long time ago.
It is not like we quit playing. I recall specifically that Aaron Murray drove us for the TD with 1:55 left against the # 9 BCS-ranked South Carolina when they had Marcus Lattimore that day, and it was a Home Game for South Carolina.
The salient point is that we were already # 4 in the Coaches’ Poll before the shake-up Saturday. We got jobbed in 2002 ending # 3 in every poll yet having to play a # 23 ranked 5-Loss Flawed State in the “bcs bowl” and we got jobbed in 2007 ending up # 2 in every poll yet having to play # 19 ranked Hawaii in the “bcs bowl” match-up.
My focus is and has been on our fine record against Alabama All-Time and that AJ McCarron is NO Aaron Murray, nor do they have a win as good as our win over # 5 Florida now. They also have key positions held down by Freshmen 2012. And, they have no Todd Gurley either, or Alec Ogletree, nor Jarvis Jones.
I am not guaranteeing a win over Alabama, but after what Aaron Murray did scoring those 2 TD drives to start and end the game over Florida while Florida scored none against this got it going on football team 2012 our best chance I have always said about this 2012 season, I like our chances.
I have liked our chances for THAT and the NC Game since the 4th quarter game in the balance drive by Aaron Murray. Look at our Defense. Our Defense is the # 20 Total Defense and # 18 Scoring Defense.
Our Offense is also Top 25 in Total Offense and in Scoring Offense.
We need to do something about our Punt Returns and Special Teams for Heavens’ sake.
We have 2 weeks since a team made up of # 52 recruiting rankings every year of Paul Johnson, loses to us 50-9.
Georgie tek would lose to Georgia Southern University obviously.
I know we can play with Alabama, and I am certain they prefer to play anyone but us now.
Alabama and Georgia know the Notre Dame game is an easy win for either of us, with no Aaron Murray.

ESPN addressed all us in The South (not the Deep South 5-5 Virginia Tech fan) Yes, I am talking to you down there in The SEC, your team who wins The SEC Championship Game plays in the NC Title Game.

Coaches’ Poll last week :
# 1 Oregon LOST
# 2 Kansas State LOST as I guaranteed
# 3 Notre Dame, still has not played anyone any good
# 4 Georgia
So, we’re # 2 in the Coaches’ Poll today, and buckeye runs in here to say without giving you the URL Link I had to reply with to him that SI Stewart Mandel Sports Illustrated says this morning all this stuff about the BCS Title Game Match-Up after Shake-up Saturday, and not one word, nothing, nada about The Georgia Bulldogs’ Top 10 All-Time Football Program in Wins who has beat Ohio State every time we’ve played them, on NCAA Probation as Ohio State is. Beat the # 4 Florida team this day in the polls, who themselves beat # 7 LSU, # 8 Texas A and M and # 9 South Carolina, and faces off in the play-in game against Alabama when UGA also has the best record of all opponents ever against Alabama.
__________________________________________________________
“Read Mandel in si.com. NO mention of dogs in picture. Zero, Zip, Nada.”

Just because you cannot focus on reading something you summarize to us like we’re unable to read it ourselves long before you woke up this morning and finally read it, does not mean the rest of us cannot reply ON TOPIC DIRECTLY to your BS that UGA is not in the picture.
We damn sure are as Jeff Schultz said last night at midnight when he re-wrote this blog post – a follow-up of several earlier posts by Jeff Schultz previously, also pointing out we can play for the BCS National Championship Title Game if we can beat Alabama, who wants to face this got it going on Dawgs’ Team the least of all teams, ever in Alabama’s entire history of college football.

When you catch yourself even thinking such a thought otherwise, you should stop and try to concentrate, coffee or not, not so much on your hatred of UGA since your Ohio State team has NEVER EVER BEAT US, but LOST to The Georgia Bulldogs every time you’ve played us, on looking at the article for what you are referencing the article on.
Clearly, the ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS this morning, coffee or not, that UGA is IN the BCS NC Title game if we can beat Alabama again.
We have BEAT a better team 2012 ALREADY than Alabama and Ohio State have beat as their best wins.
We play Alabama tougher than any opponent ever.
Ohio State has LOST to Alabama too, EVERY STINKING TIME you played them too.
UGA has a better record against Alabama than any team in their history. They want to have to play us, least of all.
Ohio State ?
You’ve NEVER beat an SEC team in any bowl game, ever, with your LOSING BOWL RECORD at Ohio State – not that you’re even allowed to play in a bowl game 2012 on NCAA Probation AGAIN 2012, like Georgie tek is too in FOOTBALL MAJOR INFRACTIONS DATABASE.

Georgia Tech has the nation’s highest average SAT score for football players, and also the highest average high school GPA.
UGA, on the other hand, has one of the very lowest SAT averages, as well as a very low GPA average. As a result, 88% of UGA players are “special admits,” when means that they can not meet the minimum educational and intelligence requirements for admission to UGA, even as low as that is. As a practical matter, most UGA players are functionally illiterate and will spend their lives on welfare or pushing a mop at a business that took pity on them and gave them a menial job.
Yes, it would be great if Tech was more competitive with UGA, but Tech fans are proud of our heritage of having intelligent, responsible athletes who go on to rewarding careers and contribute to society.
Contrast this with the very unintelligent dummies that UGA recruits. The 53 arrests over the last four years is proof enough, not to mention winning the Fulmer Cup. Most of these goons are tossed out after their eligibility is over, and many end up on welfare.
UGA is clearly just a football factory dedicated to winning at all costs, and most UGA fans are okay with this, with no concern about the embarrassment this brings to the State of Georgia.
Mark Richt is the architect of this situation. As long as he is paid a huge salary, he will continue to recruit the illiterate brain-dead thugs who he thinks will win. Unfortunately for UGA fans, he’s not remotely in the same league with the top coaches in the SEC.
So the bottom line is that Georgia Tech – win or lose – does so with honor and integrity, while the lowlife punks, woman beaters, drug users, and drunks in Athens continue to embarrass us all.

Meanwhile, there have never been any UGA players charged with murder, as Tech players have.

It amazes me that UGA and SEC haters have nothing better to do with their time than troll on the AJC’s Bulldog columns. I guess most of you feel that, since you can’t get it done on the field, you need to try to make up for it elsewhere. Typical. And Buckeye, the Big Ten (Eleven, Twelve, whatever) is becoming more and more pathetic each year. If not for Nebraska’s defection from a real conference, the B10 would rank right up there with the Mighty Big East. And this projected super-conference the ACC was supposed to become has turned into one of the biggest jokes in college football history.
No matter how you slice it and dice it, assuming Bama beats Auburn and UGA takes care of beeswax against the NATS, the SEC champ is in the BCS title game. Period. Bemoan “SEC Fatigue” all you want, but it’s going to happen because the SEC is head-and-shoulders above any conference in the land, and both the pollsters and computers know it. It’s not even a point of debate. Today’s BCS standings will have SIX SEC teams in the Top Ten. Anyone recall another conference being remotely close to that feat this late in the season?
As to UGA/Bama, we’ll find out in two weeks. Richt does just fine against Saban, and this matchup does not bode well for the Tide. If Jarvis gets in the Bama backfield, McCarron could be in for the longest day he’s ever had. This game will hinge on UGA’s O-line – protect Murray, and Bama’s got a world of problems trying to handle UGA’s receivers. Of course, as sure as the sun rises in the east, the typical Bama fan thinks they will win every game 49-10, and should claim the NC every single year, so all these blowout predictions are par for the course. I heard the same before this year’s LSU and TA&M games. Nothing new there. Ducks quack and chickens cluck – it’s their nature and they can’t help it.
Here’s a crazy-silly idea: how ’bout we actually play the games and see what happens? Radical, I know, but it beats the hell outta listening to a lot of you play your personal versions of fantasy football on these blogs.

A RTR Hit-N-Run from ATL
November 18th, 2012
9:04 am
Let’s see, who would you bet your house on in a SECCG?
Alabama? 11-1 this year, 22-2 in the past 2 years, 57-6 in the past four seasons and 2 BCS National Championships (one last year mind you) and a Heisman trophy winner.
How about who is at the helm? AJ McCarron, 22-2, 21 TDs and 2 INTs, He has won 1 BCS. Against the sometimes #1 sometimes #2 team in the land, LSU, he is 3-0 in three years.
And you have? Aaron Murray? 3rd year, 6-7 in his first with a loss to UCF in a bowl game and 0 wins against a ranked team, 10-4 the next year with all 4 of those losses coming to teams that were ranked at the end the season and 2 were blowouts and 10-1 this year with the biggest win in the programs history coming against a UF that turned it over 6 times and still was going for the tie.
In the 2 games against ranked opponents this year UGA was… 0 TDs and 4 INTs.
WOW. How about that UGA defense? 1 game against Florida they looked good. UF? A team that in four tries hasn’t scored 4 TDs in a game and that’s against UGA, Missouri, LA-Lafayette and Jacksonville St?
Could be the biggest win for UGA in a decade or so came against a team that is so overranked that I’d put money on FSU winning by at least 2 TDs this weekend.
But back to the defense, how many points did Tennessee out of all teams score? How many points did SC score against?
You’ve clearly got some desperation this year with UGA. This is there one chance to try and win it all because your schedule is so weak, next year you actually play some decent teams. But you’ve amassed 10 win seasons for two years now that UF and UT suck and South Carolina who is clearly better and has owned you for years now plays harder schedules and falls. Even then you didn’t win the SEC or any bowl game.
Hate to tell you, Alabama 42-UGA 7. I’d say 10 but your kicking game is horrible, so we’ll go with 7.

KSU vs Baylor was a joke. Bay,r gives up 500 yards per gem to anybody. Last night BAYLOR abused KS. THE KS QB is NOT Heisman material. He will need three years MIN in the NFL to be a starter. Case closed.
Stanford had a very decent chance to whip Oregon and they did. Case closed.
THE REAL USC lost to cross town rival UCLA BUT they will whip ND.
Alabama and UGA both have equal oops to win the MNC and the SEC is looking again like the best of the best.
UGA needs to destroy GT by the 3rd and then sit the starters.

I’m a Tech fan, but I always pull for UGA unless they’re playing Tech. And all this talk about beating Alabama is playing right into Tech’s hands. UGA is without a doubt the better team, but it’s ONE game…chit happens…turnovers…missed assignments…sometimes the lesser team wins. And you can bet your butt Tech will be up for this one. What I’m saying is, UGA better not look past Tech.
But there’s one reason I cannot pull for UGA to win a NC: It’s fans. I’m old enough to remember 1980, and all the chest thumping and bravado from UGA fans that continues TO THIS DAY. Just reading the comments above reminds me of how deluded the UGA fan base is…hell, since they won in 1980 they think they’re gonna win it all EVERY YEAR (at least, until the lose a couple and start calling for Mark Richt’s head!).
As a Georgian, I’d love for the Dawgs to win a NC. But as a Tech fan, I don’t know if I can endure another 40 years of the arrogant, drunken, delusional woofing from their fans. Luckily, if Tech doesn’t bring them back to earth, ‘bama will.

How can you have 8 teams on your schedule out of 11 that will not be in bowl games, lose to one of the only ones who will be in a bowl, and claim you somehow deserve a top 2 ranking?

Hoping our Dawgs make it to the NC, but what a great finish to the college football season overall!
We know as long as UGA and Bama both finish with wins next week, the winner of the SEC championship game goes on to the NC…
But, if Notre Dame loses, it will be crazy to see who then matches up in the title game…
Here’s a thought: If Florida State takes down the Gators, and then wins the ACC championship game, does an 11-1 FSU jump the 9-2 teams ahead of them to the title game??
Or, if UF beats FSU, and ND loses, does UGA then get a rematch with UF in the title game?? LOL
Even Oregon probably has a shot to make it back in because they won’t fall too far down the line…
Infinite possibilities still out there…

HairyDawg – Again, when you’re going to end up with a lot of 1-loss teams as it appears we are this year, you have to differentiate them somehow. In my opinion, the best way to do that is to look at
1) What is the schedule you played?
2) How did you perform against that schedule?
I think UGA looks fairly good on point 2, minus that night in Columbia, but on point 1, I don’t think they measure up.
I know there’s a lot of SEC myopic viewpoints here, but you can’t tell me UGA playing 3 bowl teams (SC, FLA, Vandy) measures up to what Kansas St (8 bowl teams, 4 top 25 teams) or Oregon (7 bowl teams, 4 top 25 teams)have played.
UGA’s 2nd best win after Florida, is what? Vandy? Compare to the 2nd best wins of KSU (@WVU, TexasTech, Oklahoma State), Oregon (Arizona, Washington, @Arizona St) doesn’t really compare.

Scott – Don’t know what you’re referring to about ten seasons ago… I’m simply stating that in ANY season, ANY major team – no matter how hard or how soft their schedule is – has a chance to make the NC game if they win at the right times, and the teams ahead of them lose at the right times…
Don’t you think if Oregon had lost a close game at the very beginning of the season, they would have worked their way back up to the top by now??
Voting is all based on wins at the right time, and losses by others at the right times… It’s not a complete overview of their entire season…
And, only rarely does a “soft” schedule kill the chances of a major program that has talent…

Ralph Kramden – “the Blind Academy” football team could beat Ga. Southern? I have a blind nephew you jack ass. Really surprised your comments were published.

As a sports fan who recently moved to Georgia that does not have a “dawg” in the ACC or SEC fight, I am still trying to figure out which teams and which fans have the most class and to pull for or against. After your insensitive comments and arrogance, I hope your team loses every game they play from this point forward. You are an idiot.
As far as the game goes, the blocking scheme that GA. Southern uses is legal – if anyone wants to complain, send your comments to the NCAA and get the practice banned. As an impartial spectator it looked to me like the game was decided with about 1:24 left in the first half. Ga. Southern was going to score, and go up 14 – 10. The refs made a home cooked call forcing the Ga Southern to try and settle for a field goal, and then followed that up with a ridicuous pass interference call. Bingo – 17 – 7 at halftime and the game was over. I’ve met some incredibly classy Dawg fans — I guess sooner or later a Ralph Kramden was going to surface. RK if you really did go to Georgia and graduate, you are joke as a person, and should stop trying to represent a good university and a classy coach. Based on the person I believe Coach R to be, he would want no part of jerk like you in his fan base. Good luck against Saban and Alabama Dawg nation – I hope you get to play ND and bring Athens a national title.

In 1984, National Champion Miami lost 28-3 to UF, the best team money could buy. It is not unprecendented that a team can recover from an early season spanking to win the whole enchilada.

UGA lost to a team who was rank #6 in the country on the road. Yea the lost was lopsided. Sc scored 21 of the 35 in the 1st quarter and then leveled out the rest of the game. That was week 6 this is week 13. Teams change and we are not the same team nor is SC. UGA is clicking on all cylinders and right. Ow is the best all around team in the country offense and defense combined. More balanced than anybody. A defense full of All Americans that will get drafted early. A QB who is seasoned and young backs playing ahead of their time and WR who can beat any corners man to man. Tell me what team that stack ls up like that???

Giants won the Super Bowl last year and suck much of the regular season. GB won the super bowl and barley made the playoffs u idiot. It’s all about when a team gets hot and the timing of it.

“WE TURNED THE CORNER!” Yes, thanks to UF coughing up the ball six times and they still had a chance to win.
“WE’RE FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS!” Against a team that is 5-6, 2-9, and a team that’s not in the FBS.
WOW! So impressive.
Let’s look at UGA’s entire schedule and see who they beat…
a 4-7 team from the MAC,
a 5-6 team that just started in the SEC and shouldn’t have been invited,
a 3-8 team from the Sun Belt,
a 7-4 team named Vandy who like UGA is enjoying a weak SEC East,
a 4-7 team in Tennessee who scored 44 and only lost by a TD,
a 2-9 team in Kentucky who almost won minus an idiot coach who went for an onside way way too early when his team clearly had the momentum,
a 10-1 team in Florida that we should all admit is way overrated or starting to falter begining with it’s 6 turnover game against UGA and barely beating Mizzou and UL Lafayette,
a 5-6 team in Ole Miss,
a 2-9 team in Auburn,
a FCS team which shouldn’t count for anything,
a GT team that can’t win.
Ranked Teams
a 9-2 team in South Carolina… oh wait… they beat the snot out of UGA every which way you could,
a 10-1 team in Florida that see above, highly overrated.
Combined winning record of opponents UGA has beaten is 42%. With a multi-year track record of big game flops and bowl fails, UGA has shown nothing that would make you think they’re championship material.
Again, Alabama is excited to see UGA line up in the SECCG and Notre Dame is praying that AJ breaks his leg in the game and Alabama loses because there is no chance against Bama but there is an enormous chance to shock the world and deliver the SEC it’s first real loss in the BCS.
They’re praying for UGA I’m sure, wouldn’t you?

RTR, since you just GOTTA know (and apparently haven’t been introduced to Google or Bing), in 2003 #1 Oklahoma got drilled by Kansas State in the Big 12 title game by a score of 35-7 (sound familiar?). Not only did they receive a bid to the BCS championship game the very next day, they retained their #1 ranking in the subsequent polls.
And, of course, they lost to an SEC team in the title game . . .

if you were going off of who would beat who in January: Bama #1, OSU #2, Oregon #3, FSU #4, LSU #5, A&M #6, Clemson #7, South Carolina #8, Stanford #9… and after that it’s all second and third tier top 25.

wow, great find. Losing that big to the only top 25 team you’d faced all year to that point is indicative of the fact you’re feasting on weak opponents to pad your wins. When in reality, the first time you came up against someone good it was a blow out loss.

When everyone else doubted, the Georgia players and coaches never doubted and gave everything they had to the program.
When all the haters poured it on, the Georgia players and coaches stayed focused on winning the next game.
Georgia is 20 – 5 so far over the past two years and while that is certainly no record, it is a heck of a lot better than most teams, especially those who have to play in the SEC.
BTW, I read that Georgia now has 20 10 – win seasons in its histroy and Coach Mark Richt has won 8 or 9 of those during his almost 12 years.
He has also averaged graduating 25 players a year during his tenure.
And finally, he is 1 of only 7 coaches in the history of college football to win 106 games in his first 11 years.
We are blessed to have him and he seems to be getting even stronger as a head coach.

Can You Believe It? After our loss to South Carolina, an tired old website re-emerged with new energy:

I responded to the ridiculous website by predicting what in fact Georgia is in the process of accomplishing. The only thing I didn’t see coming was a chance to play for the BCS national championship.
3 minutes ago
Terry Ray Herbert Last time I looked, Georgia had a 5-1 record and was ranked #12 in the nation. If you can’t remember that for the first time in history, UGA scored over forty points in five straight games, you’re like the high school jock who can only remember his last date. Other teams that have suffered similar embarrassments as ours this year: Oklahoma, Florida State, Texas, West Virginia, USC, Clemson to name a few. Heck, this is college football. It is the unpredictability from Saturday to Saturday that makes it the supreme sports attraction. This unpredictability also allows that UGA could still run the table, win the SEC championship and end up in a BCS bowl. Your website will most likely look silly in a few months. Maybe you, a fair weather Georgia fan are the one who needs to be replaced by a true fan.

Bama,
As you boast, you are undoubtedly hoping that none of the Georgia fans, let alone, the Georgia coaches and players watch your games against LSU and Texas A & M. Your defense is not nearly as stout as it was a year ago. Two games in a row Bama gave up over 400 yards of offense. Your offense was shut down in those two games. Many of your great defensive players went on to the NFL. This year, Georgia is stocked with a half dozen NFL First Rounders. Your weakness is your secondary, and Aaron Murray will exploit it BIG TIME! He beat out Mettenberger at Georgia, and he never looked like an SEC quarterback until playing against your underwhelming Tide defense. Your name means nothing when your bullies are taken down by the new kid on the block, no less. Texas A & M.! Brace yourselves!

UGA is a joke. They started whining about the chop blocking well in advance to cover for the lack of effort from a lazy, spoiled, secondary that has no heart. Georgia Southern was well on their way to disgracing the Bulldogs at home until the refs came to their aid. If Alabama were to play them at home they would take a chainsaw to those hedges and the bulldogs would not be able to do anything about it.
