You want to play UGA a 2nd time? Why? Last time we played twice, we lost the 2nd time.

Also thought it was interesting that when Mack Rhodes was asked how SOS and SOR were used in the ranking, he discussed at length how they were used to distinguish Ohio State from Indiana. Follow up question: what about Texas A&M? His answer was that the selection committee didn’t feel that A&M’s defense was as good as the other two, and that’s why they were ranked behind them.

In other words SOS and SOR weren’t really considered a factor for A&M. It appears that those metrics will really only come into play in differentiating two teams who are otherwise even on record and eye-test.

So much for Sanke’s compromise on the 9-game conference schedule issue. But we already knew that was a huge mistake.

I mean these rankings literally can’t hold so it doesn’t matter. The top four is the top two from the sec and big ten. Us playing Uga second round would be near impossible unless Texas am goes up in smoke with uga losing to Texas but still making the playoffs etc etc etc

Wanna be the best? Then dont be scared to beat the best. If we play our game we beat UGA again. Not trying to be arrogant about it: just stating a strong belief based on how our guys have gotten better week to week as far as mental toughness and finding ways to win.

Joey Galloway said it best, theyre ultimately ranking them by who they think is the best, the eye test, not metrics. aTm should have been #1 according to the metrics.

i think tejas and/or georgia tech get them. sexat is in athens and good ole fashioned hate or whatever they call the rivalry is being played at the benz this year. that should be an awesome environment.

i'm not sure how i would handle beating them three times within the span of three months.

beating them two times in atlanta within 11 months almost broke me

Yeah, kinda concerning that I agree more with Galloway than G-Mac but here I am.
Think I’ll call the mental health helpline now!

Yup, as posted above, A&M has played a much tougher schedule than OSU and Pretendiana.

It's way too early to think about who we might play in the playoff. First, we still haven't locked up a spot and second, my guess is almost nobody will end up playing the team projected now because there's still too many games to play. The rankings right now are about what I expected. I don't have a problem having Ohio State #1. They're the defending champs and they haven't lost yet so I'd rather have another team knock them from their perch than a committee who doesn't know much more than anyone else.

I would’ve been very interested in putting money on tech before this past Saturday but nc st had almost 200 yards rushing soooooo not expecting much from them against Uga but texas can absolutely shut their offense down and uga can’t sack anyone so I think Texas can beat them.
