Heat Check: Falcons and Bulldogs and Hawks, oh my!!!
Michael Turner, who can still play a bit, is pumped after scoring against Big D. (AJC photo by Curtis Compton)
Our weekly Heat Check begins with the hottest team around. No, not Georgia State.
FALCONS: Made it to 8-0, disappointing Al Michaels and especially Cris Collinsworth in the process. Stacked 453 yards on Rob Ryan’s star-spangled Dallas defense. Next up is New Orleans in the Superdome, site of last December’s Drew Brees rub-it-in record-breaking. Barometer reading: Some in the national keep saying none of this matters if the Falcons don’t win a playoff game. When last I checked, there are no playoff games scheduled until January. Bradley’s Rule: Can’t win in January unless you qualify for the postseason, and being 8-0 makes qualification one less thing to sweat.
GEORGIA: That wobble at South Carolina aside, the Bulldogs are almost exactly where we figured they’d be. Picked to win the SEC East, they’re in position to do just that. Ranked No. 6 nationally in preseason, they’re No. 5 in the latest BCS standings. Barometer reading: Let’s say Georgia keeps winning and manages to topple No. 1 Alabama in the Dome. Could a 13-1 SEC champ that has beaten both the No. 2 and No. 1 teams (according to the BCS) possibly be left out of the BCS title game?
GEORGIA TECH: Believe it or not, the Jackets won a game. Believe it or not, they could still win the ACC Coastal Division. Believe it or not, they might even play for the ACC title without actually winning the Coastal Division, given that Miami is apparently mulling the option of again recusing itself from postseason play. Barometer reading: From two overtime losses to a 21-point thrashing by Middle Tennessee to the dismissal of defensive coordinator Al Groh to the departure of AD Dan Radakovich to … the Orange Bowl? Seriously?
HAWKS: Lost their opener despite limiting the Rockets’ starting guards to 66 points. Won two nights later at Oklahoma City, which played for the NBA title only five months ago. Barometer reading: Not to say I told you so, but I kind of did. This is going to be one wild team to watch.
BRAVES: Re-upped Brian McCann, Tim Hudson and Paul Maholm. Re-acquired Jordan Schafer. Are said to be interested in Zack Greinke and Josh Hamilton, who figure to be the priciest free agents on the board. Barometer reading: It was reported by John Perrotto of Baseball Prospectus that Hamilton’s asking price is $25 million a year. (That’s twice what Chipper Jones was making.) Also according to Perrotto, Hamilton wants a seven-year deal. He ain’t gettin’ it here.
GEORGIA STATE: Panthers lost their ninth game of an 11-game season and their sixth of six home games. They also named their locker room after coach Bill Curry, who’s retiring after Saturday’s game at Maine. Barometer reading: Curry’s career record is 93-127-4. Not many coaches who have a career winning percentage of .424 get anything nice named after them. Most such coaches only get called nasty names.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL: It starts in earnest this week, and it will, as you may know, end here. Barometer reading: April 6, 2013 — the Final Four tips off in the Georgia Dome.
Further reading: Regarding that question about Georgia and the BCS title game … here’s the answer. (For now, anyway).

The answer is, YES, they should go to the BCS championship game over ND (looked very weak against Pitt) and Oregon (no defense) and Alabama (if they defeat them in SEC). Or would UGA play Alabama in the Nat. Champ. game? That would make some folks mad.

UGA beating Bama? Not likely. The Tide just had their struggle game. They prevailed against an inspired top 5 defense playing at night in one of the most intimidating places to play in the country.They also won despite LSU’s qb playing like we have never seen him play.
UGA would have to play a mistake free almost perfect game to beat Alabama. I just don’t see that happening. And I’m not a Crimson Tide fan.

Mark, I agree with your analysis regarding UGA, which is also why as fans we have to keep rooting for Florida and Alabama to win out until the SEC title game. I think that K-State not playing in a Championship Game will hurt them even more. Also, I don’t see Notre Dame beating USC in Los Angeles, so that opens the door for Georgia if they win out. No way ESPN wants UGA in the NC game unless they have no other choice.

I certainly hope that the Dawgs beat Auburn and make it to the SECCG. I have said all along that UGA is the second most talented team in the SEC this year and that would give them a punchers chance against Bama.
However, the chances of UGA beating Bama don’t look all that good to me. Georgia is 8-1, but that record has come against teams with a combined 31-41 record and that includes the one big win against 8-1 Florida. Even compensating for the fact that UGA beat each of these teams (giving them an extra loss) the record is 31-33 when you take out the Georgia wins.
Take out the one big win and the record is 23-40 for Georgia’s opponents.
I believe Georgia is 1-10 against ranked teams over the past four years. That one win coming when UGA forced 6 turnovers. Since Alabama will be ranked if we play them in the SECCG, the odds are not in our favor. I don’t think we can count on forcing a lot of turnovers on BAMA.
That being said, Bama has some flaws. They never throw the ball over the middle so you don’t have to defend that. They don’t have a particuarly mobile QB which always gives Georgia fits and they are seem a little vulnerable to a good passing game which Georgia has.
Bama is a very solid team that seems to show up in all three phases of the game for 60 minutes. Georgia puts it together every now and then and if they put in together in the dome, then an upset is possible. As Bill King and Mark Bradley and others have written, which Georgia team will show up?

That could be a big miss by Pitt’s kicker. I am a neutral college football fan, but I think Georgia could and should leap over video game Oregon (West Virginia of the West). Computers still love Notre Dame. Programmers must be from Chicago. If Georgia beats Bama, they should, but won’t , leap Notre Dame. Kansas State would be a legit BCS contender if they win out.

I wonder what Mark Richt’s press conference would be like if he got up there after beating Bama and realized he might get passed over again for the national title. He was pretty quiet in 07 when they got voted down for not winning the conference when an Ohio St. team that literally beat nobody ranked was pushed into a blowout. Now that Bama was passed in last year under the same circumstances, I’m not sure he would have the patience to be quiet now.

As for the Braves, I’m getting fast to the point of frustration with this ownership. The more this team competes for playoff spots, the more ownership will use them as an ATM. I have no doubt getting Schafer means we are not likely to sign Bourn in the offseason. Hamilton? haha would be great of course, but they’d actually have to spend money for him too. This ownership is not concerned with making the Braves a true championship contender again. Its a shame, because they dont have to spend like the Yankees, Phillies, or Red Sox with the talent coming out of the Braves minor leagues system. Get Bourn and Hamilton, and this team is set for far less money.

If UGA cannot find a way to win SEC ( that is provided they can get there ) they will be destined to be back in Outback once again. If Carolina wins out, beating a good Clemson team at the end, and Florida wins out by beating a good FSU team, you know they both jump over GA in polls if Dawgs lose to Tide . It sux but that’s how it will be..Sugar bowl will take highest ranked team in SEC that is not in NC game….I say if you can’t win at dome it’s a better chance for Sugar bowl by not going to start with.

Uh yes, when they lost a game 35-7 and there are still 3 major undefeated teams who are all worthy of the BCS championship game.
The same Mark Bradley who was apoplectic about Alabama getting into the BCS championship game over another 1 loss team last year, with their loss to the #1 team in the country by 3 in OT, thinks a Georgia team with one loss should be elevated, not over other one loss teams but over undefeated teams? What a pathetic homer.

To Mike S. and other blinded Dawgs, Alabama wasn’t “passed in” last year under the “same circumstances”. Alabama lost by 3 in OT to the #1 ranked team and pounded everybody else they played. Georgia lost by 28 to the #8 ranked team and has been unimpressive in most of their other games against a weak schedule. Alabama got in only because Oklahoma State lost to unranked Iowa State late in the season. There’s no way Alabama would have or should have gotten into the championship game had Oklahoma State gone undefeated. Yet you have Delusional Dawg fans like Mike S. and Mark Bradley pretending Georgia, with one very bad loss, should get in ahead of 2 of 3 among undefeated Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame.

ND, arguably, has more “pull” in CFB than the SEC. Will be tough jump a 0 loss Irish. ND’s O isn’t good, so UGA could win a 17-14 type game here.
K-St & Oregon are different animals all together. K-St has the D to stop UGA’s O, and their O & STs would put points on the board. And Oregon’s D is better than you idiots think. USC’s O is much more potent than UGA’s. K-St & Oregon would embarrass UGA.
Those are just the teams ranked AHEAD of UGA (excluding BAMA) that, IMO, of which the Dawgs could only be 1.
There’s plenty of teams behind UGA that are, IMO, better than the Dawgs. But, the “suits” say they don’t play in the SEC so tough noogies. FSU & Clemson would both score like UT did or more vs. UGA. Clemson’s D would keep UGA in it, but FSU’s is a different story. Oklahoma beats UGA too. As does Oregon St., USC, and Texas A&M. And Tex Tech probably too.
UGA is 1-1 vs. GOOD competition. And the W was aided by 6 turnovers.

A 13-0 Bama team will play someone for the title. And not trying to start something, But the Bama people need to be a little worried about Saban. That will be title #3 there, and nowhere to go but down. He might think, what else can I do here and entertain some of that big retirement money being thrown his way by Texas and the Browns if rumors are true. His college legacy is cemented.

Here are the Sagarin SOS rankings for each team currently in contention:
Bama: 17th
K-State: 33rd
Notre Dame: 16th
Oregon: 47th
UGA: 39th
These are the current SOS rankings which means Oregon and Notre Dame will more than likely improve in the coming weeks and UGA will more than likely get worse because of the terrible teams left on their schedule. So at the end of the season even if UGA plays Alabama they will have a worse SOS then the other teams in contention and will have more losses.

You bet they would. The SEC fatigue is in full effect, and it would be UGA’s luck (again) that it would kick in the year we won the SEC.
But honestly none of that is really important. The odds of us beating Bama are slim. Reaaaaaly slim.

They could, but it is really hard to imagine Florida even scoring on FSU. Florida is 103rd in total offense. FSU is 1st in total defense. If Florida doesn’t create a passing game by that time then I don’t see them having much of a chance against FSU.

FSU has the number one ranked defense because they have not played anyone. Their defense would be about number 5 or 6 in the SEC, which is still a top 20 defense, but not the best in the country. They couldn’t stop NC State when it mattered and Clemson moved the ball well against them. They haven’t played anyone else worth a flip. We’ll see how we’ll they do in 3 weeks.

“Here are the Sagarin SOS rankings for each team currently in contention:

These are the current SOS rankings which means Oregon and Notre Dame will more than likely improve in the coming weeks and UGA will more than likely get worse because of the terrible teams left on their schedule. So at the end of the season even if UGA plays Alabama they will have a worse SOS then the other teams in contention and will have more losses.”
GTBob, Oregon and K-State are very close SOS to Georgia, I don’t really see the SOS for any of the teams changing that much with only three games to go. Now if Georgia does win out and Alabama forgets to show up for the SECG and the other three teams go undefeated, I still don’t see Georgia in the BCS championship game. The way they lost to South Carolina is too damning. But I’d really like to see UGA play one of those three (Oregon, K-State, Notre Dame) in a bowl game. I believe they’d win it.

No explosion needed. Based on what I’ve seen, 17-20 points should do it. The special teams and defense are more than capable of putting up points for UF. The Gators have given up 20 points only once this season to UT on the road. Texas A&M only managed 17 at home and UGA only managed 17 with us having 6 turnovers. The UF offense is not good, but the defense is bad to the bone. The special teams are as good as any in the country. The Semis will have their hands full.

Of course they could. It is no secret that the desk jockeys in the sports media are the power cabal of college football. In order for the Dawgs to land in the BCS game, they have to win out… and beat Alabama in the SEC Championship. But even then, there would have to be an incredibly unlikely series of events. K-State, Oregon and ND are all still up there and undefeated. Can you imagine the glee from a BCS game without an SEC representation?
Yeah, just like that, the Dawgs get relegated to the next level.
So, to make this work, at least one, if not two of those three remaining unbeatens have to crash and burn between now and the end of the reg season.
ND plays Boston College, Wake Forrest and USC.
Oregon has Cal, Stanford and Oregon State.
K-State sees TCU, Baylor and Texas.
For ND, the tougest will be a suspect USC team.
For Oregon, Stanford and O-State are currently ranked.
For K-State, only Texas is ranked and close to being what’s needed to win.
What the Dawgs need is a miracle… a genuine, bonafide miracle of biblical quality.

The problem with Florida is not motivation, it is their QB.
Muschamp would give his right nut to have Aaron Murray or Hutson Mason

Yeah Mark, the Hawks are going to be a hard team to figure out. T he Falcons and Dawgs look solid and Tech is well…Tech.

If ND, Oregon or K-State remain undefeated and Ala loses one game, the NC game should be played between two of those undefeated teams. UGA lost in a rout to SC and if UGA should win against Ala in a close game Ala should be above UGA in the BCS standings. The BCS would not choose a one-lost team that lost in an embarassing way over 2 or 3 undefeated teams to play in the NC game. Like I said above they would pick a one-lost Ala team ahead of UGA

I agree with you Mr Bond. The BCS would not choose a team that even though lost only one game, but lost that game where they were completely overmatched, over 2 or 3 undefeated teams
