Predictions: Georgia pulls upset, Tech goes down
According to various websites that I looked through while doing research for this final week of investments — not counting those that kept asking for a credit card number, age verification and automatically opened 27 new windows (Close! Close! Dang it, close!) while my wife screamed down to the basement, “Are you still looking at point spreads!?” — I came across some interesting statistics.
The chances of winning Wednesday night’s $579 million Powerball drawing were approximately 1 in 176 million. That was still far more likely than the odds of having a meteor land on my house: 1 in 182,138,880,000,000. Or about double that for the same meteor landing on the ACC championship game and hitting somebody.
Is that a meteor falling on me, or Dogs going to BCS?
Other odds I came across: 1 in 3 million chance of spotting a UFO; 1 in 11,500 of bowling 300 in a game; 1 in 649,740 of being dealt a royal flush; 1 in 20 million of being canonized; about even-money that one of those Christmas bell-ringers in front of Kroger will spot Bobby Petrino and punch him in the face, and 99 out of 100 that the aforementioned bell-ringer will be canonized.
Which leads me to Saturday’s SEC championship game between Alabama and Georgia. The odds are against Georgia winning. I know this because I keep hearing analysts break down the Alabama-Notre Dame game like Georgia is a hologram.
Lord Saban, via Tigersx.com. (Not my art work, honest.)
Yes, Alabama is good. The Tide have won two of the past three national titles. People are scared when they just look at a picture of Nick Saban, although in fairness you can’t tell from the picture that he’s only 4-foot-2.
Here’s what I see: Georgia’s defense is playing really well. Aaron Murray is throwing to the correct receivers (also the correct team). Todd Gurley — freshman going on Athens mayor. The Bulldogs were smacked at South Carolina, but Alabama lost at home to Texas A&M. The Aggies scored touchdowns on their first three possessions with that crazy no-huddle thing that Saban fears will doom civilization.
Georgia has a shot. A good shot. In fact — wait, did somebody just see a meteor? — I’m going upset. Take the 7½ points, but Dogs win the SEC and move on to the BCS.
(Programming note: We’ll be back in a few weeks with a special bowl edition of “Weekend Predictions,” as well as a new “Sack Schultz” bowl contest. Details to come.)

Undercard Events
(Look for expanded SEC and ACC game predictions in Saturday’s AJC.)
OK, I'll take some dish soap, paper plates, ACC tickets ...
ACC: Georgia Tech vs. FSU: John Swofford dreamed the other night that he was eaten by 12,000 tarantulas. Unfortunately, he woke up to the real nightmare of his deteriorating conference title game: Tech is coming off a loss to Georgia. FSU is coming off a loss to Florida. Tech (6-6) is only because Miami and North Carolina are in NCAA timeout. Need a ticket? It’s $4. A section? Still $4. Seminoles win but take Tech and 14.
Pac-12: UCLA: vs. Stanford: Jim Mora denies he intentionally lost last week’s game to Stanford to avoid a match-up with Oregon. I believe him. Only brilliant coaches could pull off something that devious. Same story in the rematch: Cardinal covers 9.
Big Ten: Nebraska vs. Wisconsin: Wisconsin is the Big Ten’s highest ranking ethical team in the Leaders Division at 4-4 and therefore is a conference finalist. So I guess the term “Leaders” is all relative to the Big Ten, huh? Huskers covers 2½.
What the ACC needs is a good promotion
* * * Internet-Only Special * * *
Saints at Falcons: The Saints are 5-6. If the playoffs opened today, they’d be in the Poinsettia bowl. This also will be Jonathan Vilma’s last game before the NFL bounty hearings, so if y’all could bring some cookies or maybe write a nice card for him to read during incarceration, that would be nice. Meanwhile, the Falcons are pretty banged up. But at 10-1, pain is all relative. Falcons cover 3½.
NFL Fridge Pack
The NFL's new simplified training regimen.
Seahawks at Bears: Forget Adderall suspensions. Chicago’s Brandon Marshall claims some players are seeking an edge with Viagra. Funny. I never looked at preseason games as foreplay before. Chicago covers 3½.
Texans at Titans: And then there’s the anti-Viagra: Ndamukong Suh’s foot somehow ended up in Matt Schaub’s groin. The good news: If Houston goes to the Super Bowl, Schaub can sing the national anthem. Houston wins but give me Tennessee and 6.
49ers at Rams: There are two sides to the debate on whether Jim Harbaugh should have benched Alex Smith. One side: It’s only Alex Smith. The other side: well, actually, there is no other side. Niners cover 7.
Panthers at Chiefs: If the Panthers (3-8) lose, it would make the home stretch stumble for the No. 1 pick interesting. Probably explains why the Chiefs (1-10) announced plans to wear Crocs. Carolina covers 3.
Eagles at Cowboys: Online headline: “Andy Reid to coach this week.” That would be a season first. Dallas covers 10.
The Eagles are dead. Like the parrot

TIME TO SETTLE UP
“If you ain’t just a little scared when you enter a casino, you are either very rich or you haven’t studied the games enough.” — VP Pappy
Last week: 10-1 straight up, 7-3-1 against the line.
Bottom dollars: 110-35 straight up, 85-58-2 against the line.
“Sack Schultz” update: This is it — the winner of the $5,000 Hawaii trip will be awarded this week. Our leader is “Wildone” of Kansas at 146 wins but 10 others are within five picks. I am not one of those 10.
Lilly Pick of the Week: Lilly (8-4) is on a five-game winning streak since her one-week furlough. This week, it was a choice between cheese-accessorized pictures of Uga and Nick Saban. Didn’t even look at Saban. Straight to Uga. Arf.
True story: Lilly swooped in on Uga's cheese so fast, I couldn't picture in time.

How all of you Bama fans can predict a victory of 20-40 points over this Ga defense is confusing. Who have they beaten by that margin that has a defense as strong as UGA? I am not saying that Ga wins, but I guarantee a close game if Bama wins. Saban agrees, or he would not be complaining about the loser of this game getting less than a BCS bowl trip.

7 Bowl teams on our schedule including ourselves & 6 of the 7 will win their bowl games :”
Fuzzy math, there, Thomas. You played 12 teams this year. Six of them – Buffalo, Florida Atlantic, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Auburn – had losing records and are not bowl eligible. Georgia Southern plays in the FCS, so no bowl game there. Georgia Tech is at 6-6, and if they lose the ACC CHampionship game will have to petiition ot get into a bowl. That leaves Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Florida, and Mississippi to play in Bowls. Add Georgia Tech if they win the ACC championship game, and that means that, at most, five of the teams you played this year are bowl bound at best. Add your Bulldogs and the number is six not seven.

TOP SECRET REPORT FROM UGA PRACTICE
Tip-The UGA football practices are closed to the public and the press, but I’ve found a super secret special viewing opportunity. I’ll tell you what it is…
The UGA Buses that move people around the cam
pus go down Lumpkin St. which is directly abutted by one end-zone of their practice field. The buses are double decker and from the top section you can see the field clearly…for about 30 seconds, at a bus stop.
So, I can report FIRSTHAND that Georgia did indeed practice. They’re not totally sloughing off, that’s a good sign for Bulldog fans!
BIGGER Bulldog Story- Coach Richt announced for the first time today that he would indeed burn QB Hutson Mason’s redshirt season if Murray “suffered a season ending injury”. In this situation, being out for the rest of the game could be considered a season ending injury. I wonder if having a few interceptions and fumbles and being down by 6 with 8 minutes to go, might not be a season ending injury? We shall see!

What about UGA’s defense has been impressive? The 44 points they gave up against Tennessee? The 35 against SC? Struggling against Kentucky? Michigan has played a much tougher schedule than UGA this year and still has better numbers. Sorry, but UGA’s defense isn’t that great this season.

North Texas played in a bowl game with a losing record a few years’ back.
You named then 5 bowl teams with Georgie tek.
We play Alabama day after tomorrow. Alabama is a bowl team.
That’s 6.
We play a bowl team in our bowl game. That will be 7 we know of.
Somehow, you have a problem with figuring out UGA plays a bowl team day after tomorrow and in the bowl game, obviously.
Jeez Louise.
If we beat Alabama, our schedule 2012 will include :
(1) # 1 Notre Dame
(2) # 2 Alabama
(3) # 4 Florida
(4) # 10 South Carolina
(5) # 33 Vandie 8-4
(6) # nothing Georgie tek 6-6
(7) # nothing Ole Miss with 6 wins
If there is anything fuzzy about that math, it’s just you being obtuse about UGA while your team is a division III team, who like all the other fans on our blog today, LOST last week.
And, our schedule of opponents 2012 including the game day after tomorrow of JUST 1-A FBS teams is 61-59, not whatever lies you keep repeating it is.
It goes UP from that when we play in our bowl game against a 10 or 11 win team.

I am a die-hard Bama fan and am very concerned about the game Saturday. This is probably our weakest team since 2008. I think 2009-2011 Bama teams were better “overall” than this team. That doesn’t mean we have no shot or that we can’t do what people are saying. I think it comes down to one thing… Can our D-Line put pressure on Aaron Murray? We have had trouble with good quarterbacks this year and if Aaron gets hot it could be a long night. I think we will be able to move the ball on the Ga defense somewhat.. Scoring 30+ may be too much to ask… I think both teams are much more evenly matched than the 7 pt spread. Hope it’s well-played and Bama win. Good luck (sorta).

I believe this writer and the Georgia defense itself is delusional. The Georgia defense is as porous as sand. Georgia Southern and Georgia Tech both gashed that defense for an average of 300 yards/game. Georgia is not playing a mediocre opponent this week. They are playing the defending national champions, which have the best offensive line in college football, and a quarterback who already wears a championship ring. ALABAMA will dominate on both sides of the ball, and Georgia’s delusions will be realized. ROLL TIDE! ALABAMA 31 Georgia 13.

Oregon’s loss was in OT to a top 10 team. Everyone else they slaughtered.
UGA’s loss was also to a top 10 team but by 28 points, a true embarrassment. they’ve played ONE other top 25 team. they squeaked by terrible Tennessee and Kentucky teams.
“If oregon was in the sec…” – give me a break. UGA did NOT play an “SEC” schedule. they avoided the only 3 good teams in the West – LSU, TAMU & Bama. They played 2 top 25 teams and one of those teams SLAUGHTERED the Dogs. you can admit that this year, UGAs schedule was a joke.
If not Oregon, then Florida is more deserving – they atleast beat TAMU, LSU, and So Carolina, and in their loss they didnt get totally embarrassed.

So when did someone slip you some kool-aid in your drink
You’ve been on this blog for several years slaming this coaching staff now you are ALL IN
I dont need a 30 page response the fact is 1-11 vs the top 10 and 1 victory over a top 20 team in 4 years
Thats a fact with all the great recruiting Richt has so called done
But heres another fact the state of Georgia has been a top 5 recruiting state for more than 20 yrs even Ray Golf recruited well any coach is going to recruit well at UGA
Donnans entire 1999 Defense played in the NFL several on that team are going to the NFL hall of fame
Again a big time win is over top 5 opponents Richt is 1-11 against the top 10 in recent years; Richt has never beaten two top 5 teams in a row so thats why Im not sold
But hey I really hope he proves me wrong thats all Im saying

Alabama beat them 41-14.
8 Wins by Michigan 2012 season over :

1-11 Massachusetts
6-6 Purdue
2-10 Illinois
6-6 Michigan State
6-6 Minnesota
9-3 Northwestern at Home for Michigan in the big house
4-8 Iowa
Against this rag-tag list of teams they beat, Michigan is
# 20 Scoring Defense
# 56 Rushing Defense
# 100 in Turnover Margin because the defense cannot take ball away from anyone
# 87 Defense in getting sacks, too slow
# 52 in the nation tackles for loss
Oh, yeah, I’m sure when the season is over the NFL will jump all over these 8-4 Michigan Defensive Players and draft 11 of them like they will of UGA’s # 16 Scoring Defense.
That’s 2 Georgie tek posters, after 42-10 last week talking about 2 other different teams who are better than UGA 2012, showing exactly what ?

Patch, I’m a firm believer that Richt lost his focus and allowed the program to wander. I think we’re seeing more focus the last two years, just like it took a few years to collapse, it takes a couple years to get back to where we need to be. Defense is much better under CTG, I think next year bodes well even though the schedule gets tougher. I’m hoping that a hungry, aggressive, physical, and confident team shows up.

Scott, not who did Oregon lose to – but I addressed whom it is they beat.
I-95, for like 50 years, 30 of them on this site’s WebPages I was all in UGA.
I got off all-in UGA after Sugar Bowl at the Georgia Dome I went to which never happened; and have picked on them to do what they did do 2012 – half a season ago now. Where have you been ?
I wanted them to do this.
This is WHY I wanted them to do this.
They did.
Aaron Murray did. He scored 2 more TD on offense than Florida did for the only team to accomplish that this season.
I don’t expect to win all these type games.
I just don’t want to LOSE them ALL.
Which is what we were doing.
They corrected that.
I can be all in if I wanna.
You can act like we didn’t beat anyone for 6 seasons you and I posted together here. You will recall, I took exception to several of your posts. Want to review them ?
Yeah, I disagree with you now as the lone poster for us saying how badly
WE ARE DOING
when we beat # 4.
I’d like to beat # 2 now.
Then, # 1.
I am not sitting here telling the guys for 6 years I wanted them to go do something, watch them do it, and then say – well, you did not do it, or well you did do it but you were just lucky, or you did do it, but I want to like win all those type games.
No top team has a winning record against teams making the top 10.
You’d like to win a quarter of them maybe.
We’ve done that, or close to that in the Mark Richt era.
Need a couple more.
What better motivation than doing it day after tomorrow ?
Alabama claims they find it home for them down here in our dome, yet they’ve been in it 7 times and won 3. Mark Richt has been in it 4 times and won 2. He can tie Alabama by himself day after tomorrow.
These are the reasons I speak with you about a few of your posts, not all, I only select a couple of yours. You hit one last night. I corrected it. I’ve done this to your posts before. We’re both big enough to get over that. I know that and so do you.

GTbob- What about UGA’s defense has been impressive?
1.) Jarvis Jones
2.) Bacarri Rambo
3.) Alec Ogletree
4.) John Jenkins
5.) #2 Pass Defense in the SEC
6.) With all players back on D (2nd half of season- last 5 games) allowing an average of 8.6 points per game, which would be 1st nationally. Also, 5 INT’s and 3 fumble recoveries over the same period.
7.) 1st string held the vaunted Tech offense to 0 TD’s, which is not really impressive but just worth reminding you about. Seems like you forgot.
8.) Auburn is terrible, I give you that… but only 2 defenses held them scoreless- UGA and Bama.
GTbob- What three teams on UGA’s schedule would Oregon have lost to?
Florida and South Carolina for sure. Arkansas St put 34 points on Oregon so the third loss could come from UT, Ole Miss, or some other team as good as Arkansas St. I am not 100% sure if Oregon would have lost 3, but they would have lost 2 and the 3rd is in question.

Saban ain’t no god……… lost to Louisiana Munroe, lost to Aubarn after having a 24 point lead, stinked it up in the NFL with a losing record. Saban is simply a small, garden gnome sized human. Nothing more and nothing less. Richt has a winning record vs “gnome” Saban. Saban lost to Texas A&M on his home field and was out played and out coached by Less Miles until Less Miles got stupid and went in to a prevent your self from winning defense with 6 minutes remaining in the game.

I tried a few days ago to point out how UGA, based on their “SEC schedule” and W/L & performance vs. the only 2 good teams they’ve played, is not worthy of the #3 ranking.
And look a little deeper …. It ain’t just Oregon & UF that are better than UGA, but so are LSU, Stanford, Texas A&M, and, duh, #10 South Carolina – we all saw the beating they put on the East “champs”.

Georgia Southern gashed the Bulldog defense for 302 yards on the ground; yet had 2 turnovers. Georgia Tech gashed the Georgia defenders for 306 yards on the ground; yet had 2 turnovers. Even Kentucky gashed this overrated defense for 206 yards on the ground. Don’t forget Florida had 6 turnovers. If ALABAMA has over 200 yards on the ground, that will mean they will have at least that many yards through the air. ALABAMA will crush Georgia, in the like manner that South Carolina did. ALABAMA 31 Georgia 13.

GTBob, Michigan had a tougher schedule you say ? Well, they BEAT NO ONE. 8-4 without any top team beat. 9-3 Northwestern is not that great, are they ? Home game. Their defensive line-up consists of 11 NFL Draft Picks after the season like ours ?
Alphare, I did not copy anyone’s work. I actually sit here typing it.
