Georgia is more than likely going to get F***ed over this evening when the bowl match-ups are announced. Knowing this, I'm having a hard time sleeping. Then again, those red bull and vodkas probably aren't helping either. The fact of the matter is this- LSU is NO better than Georgia. So they haven't "lost in regulation" like Shane said. They still gave up 50 points just LAST weekend. So a team that lost 1 week ago and gave up 50 points is going to play for the National Championship- BULLSHIT. I'm not saying Georgia deserves to go to the Championship game (I think they do but I'm biased as hell) but if LSU goes over the Bulldogs that's just wrong. LSU might have won the SEC Championship but they still have the same number of losses as Georgia and they certainly didn't beat Tennessee very impressively (Tennessee dominated statistically). Their resume is NO better than Georgia's. The only team I think that has a strong case to be in the title game is Oklahoma. I think they are one of the 2 best teams in the country without a doubt. However, the other team is a toss-up. It could be anybody. Obviously shitty Ohio St. will be in the championship, once again screwing over the Dawgs just like they did in '02. If it's Oklahoma vs Ohio St. I won't be that upset (except at Ohio St. because they should be going to the Alamo Bowl and not the title game). Any other team besides Oklahoma though and I think Georgia has a legitimate argument. Forget about Virginia Tech. A) They play in a shitty conference that can't even fill up half of a stadium for their championship game and B) they got absolutely destroyed by LSU. Kansas has no right to be in the title game because they had one tough game all season and they blew it against Missouri, who proceeded to get their ass beat by the Sooners. Then there's CPC and the Men of Troy. As much as I hate to say it, they don't deserve a shot at the national title either. Losing to Oregon is respectable but losing to Stanford, not so much. Don't get me wrong, the Trojans are good enough at the moment to win the National Championship without a doubt (even with a terrible QB) but their list of accomplishments this year is not very impressive. Basically it comes down to Georgia, LSU, Virginia Tech, and Oklahoma. Georgia lost to (6-6) South Carolina (way to finish strong you assholes- God I hate the Gamecocks) and co-SEC East Champ Tennessee (9-4). LSU may have won the conference but still lost to 2 mediocre teams: Kentucky (7-5) and Arkansas (8-4), both of which put up huge numbers against the Bayou Bengals. Oh yeah, don't forget about how LSU SQUEAKED by in several other games as well. Some say Virginia Tech has a strong argument but that's wrong. Sure their 2 losses came against teams with good records, Boston College (10-3) and LSU (11-2) but A) Boston College sucks (along with the rest of the ASheShe) and B) they were blown out by LSU 48-7. Nothing in that last line screams national title contender to me. Then there's the Sooners. Like I said, I think they are 1 of the 2 best teams in the country. HOWEVER, they also lost to 2 mediocre teams in Colorado (6-6) and Texas Tech (8-4). Also, coming into the weekend at #9, I just don't see them jumping that many teams. Having said all of this I think it comes down to Georgia and LSU, like many people are predicting. I like the Dawg's chances in the coach's poll because more people like CMR than Les. The Harris poll on the other hand maybe Georgia's downfall. I think Georgia is going to get F***ed especially if it ends up being LSU. Besides the 1 extra win and conference champion honors (even though Georgia and LSU have the same number of conference losses) the Tigers' record is no more impressive, and maybe even less impressive, than the Bulldogs. I'm not sure if any of this makes sense because I have a lot of stuff running through my head and at 6:58 A.M. I have finally hit the proverbial "wall." Basically though, what I'm trying to say is "WHY NOT GEORGIA?" Despite what all the haters say, and there's plenty of them, our Bulldogs have just as much of a right to be in that BCS title game as anybody else. We just have to hope the voters see it that way too. It won't be long now...
This one's for my friend Don and his PMA (also part of the final episode of one of the greatest TV shows of all time)

Ya'll can cry all you want but the fact of the mater is that Georgia did not win their conference.
In 2001, did any of you think Nebraska deserved to be in the title game after not playing in the Big XII championship?
No I don't think they deserved to go. I didn't think Oklahoma deserved to go in '03 when they were destroyed by Kansas St. in the Big 12 championship game. It doesn't matter what we think though because both of those teams ended up playing for the national championship anyway. Why should this year be any different for Georgia. It's like CMR stated emphatically, there is NO rule that says you must win your conference championship to play for the national championship. The pollsters didn't have a problem with that concept in the examples above but all of a sudden this year they do- BULLSHIT plain and simple. The BCS people have had the opportunity to vote on and implement that rule but they have yet to do so and that's their fault, not the Bulldogs'. Georgia is simply playing within the system and how it is currently set up and according to that system, if 1 and 2 lose 3 and 4 move up. It's not 1 and 2 lose 3 jumps to #1 and 4 stays put while getting jumped by a team that was 5 spots behind them (Oklahoma 9 to 3).
We should take a page out of the Herndon book.
It is obvious that it has come time for UGA to leave the SEC and join the Southland Conference. The glory days are over. We just can't compete at the national level as a member of this conference. Beating up on teams that no one cares about is sure to help us to recruit better athletes. Knocking off the SW Texas St Bobcats will get us the media attention we so badly desire. And why would we want to play teams close to us like South Carolina, Tenn, or Auburn when we could join the Southland and travel to Texas to battle Stephen F Austin State? Georgia-Florida and Georgia-Auburn are nice but they will not compare to the new rivalries which will certainly develop. (see BC- Jeff Davis; BC-Long County). Lastly, anyone who disagrees with UGA leaving the SEC is just living in the past. Come to grips with the fact that we will never be as good as we once were. And if you think any other way, then you just don't want what is best for Georgia.
parallelism???
Donnie- in my years as a blogger, you might have just made the best comment of all time!
"Come to grips with the fact that we will never be as good as we once were."
Here is what all of you are not understanding. We never were that good.
Since 1948, BC has advanced to the state football playoffs 11 times, 6 of those appearances occuring after the GHSA did away with region playoffs in 1996. Of those 11 state playoff appearances, BC only advanced in 1978 and 1996.
So, in the past 60 years, BC has won 3 playoff games against teams outside of its region: Northside in '78 and Northside and LaGrange in '96.
You cannot argue with the facts.
And one more thing, Donnie. I never implied that you or anyone else doesn't want what's best for BC. We all do. I happen to have a different opinion on the matter.
So lets take this attitude forward..... BC has always been THE footbal program in Savannah, Georgia. But as Savannah Christian passes us by with a little effort and energy, we have to accept we can't do anything about it but slip into mediocrity because we are poor ole BC that just wants a chance to play with schools that lets us get away with being average........ Well I refuse to hold that belief today or any day that I live for the rest of my life.
I know we all just want what is best for BC and I apologize for putting words in people's mouths. It just seems that people now look down on those opposed to moving down. I feel like I am the bad guy for having a different opinion from those (HERNDON) that made the decision.
Also, I am not disputing the facts. I just don't seem the harm in trying to be Marist or St. Pius. If we continue to get the best available coaches, player, and we have strong support for our school, then we will be successful regardless of classification. So what if we only go on a playoff run every 10 or 20 years. That's not the point of high school football or anything really. I just think we should try to be the best we can possibly be. And I think that being in aaaa or aaaaa gives us the best chance to do that.
yes, schivera...this is exactly like steve carell gettin the republican nomination
