UGA should be number 2

[isproab]

I'm awaiting the poll results. I got my wish last night.

[BruceReville]

I would love to see Georgia go as well but unfortunately LSU has 2 advantages over UGA

#1 - LSU won the SEC Championship

#2 - Georgia is 1-1 vs possible BCS teams (Tenn - Florida) - LSU is 3-1 vs possible BCS teams (Tenn (2X) - Florida - Arkansas) :ermm: 

[JaGz]

LSU has also lost 2 games since UGA has last lost and LSU also lost to Kentucky who UGA beat.

[twyst]

its going to be LSU VT or Oklahoma playing against Ohio State. Georgia didnt even win the SEC east

[Peyton]

Here is the only thing I know for sure -

No team has any right to complain, well except Hawaii.  Hawaii is the only team that's done everything it needed to do this year. 

After the results come out, I hope I don't hear a bunch of crying from Les Miles, or Mark Richt, or Bob Stoops, or Pete Carroll, or anybody else that doesn't have things go there way today.  Because they all had thier chance and blew it.  Twice actually.

It took six overtimes for LSU to lose 2 if this was 15 years ago or so they would be undefeated with 2 ties

[JaGz]

That is true but neither did OU or Neb. a few years ago(win their conf. that is).

[Peyton]

If this was 15 years ago, the fact that LSU lost thier games in overtime would be relevant.

[Same Ol Falcons]

They didn't have overtime 15 years ago they didn't start overtime until 96 so they would be 11-0-2 and them and Hawaii are the oly two that could claim to be undefeated

[chaddawg77]

If we are going to play that and throw out new rules in the SEC didnt have a title game then it would have been a 3way tie for the SEC title and the old tiebreaker was the highest ranked team so that would have been Georgia.

[isproab]

Here is the thing, not winning your conference has nothing to do with the formula. I know votes may be affected by it but they should not be. Bottom line. You had UGA at 4 and Ohio State at 3 for a reason. Now just b/c its the final poll, don't go switching things just because.

LSU was #1 twice and could not take care of business. They lost to an unranked Arkansas team last week. If they get put into the title game that means that last weeks loss does not count??? The unwritten rule has always been that it is better to lose early than late. Sorry LSU, on the outside looking in.

Virginia Tech, sorry not that good of a team. I rank them the following way:

1. Ohio State

2. Georgia

3. LSU

4. Oklahoma

5. Southern Cal

[Same Ol Falcons]

It was Nebraska that didn't win their conference and that was a joke that they got in

[twyst]

Oklahoma didnt win their conference either the year they lost to LSU for the title in new orleans

[IonSen88]

Yes we did. We are co-champions of the SEC East.

It's not a rule that we have to win the SEC Conference to go to the National Championship game. In our conference, a 6-6 team could win the SEC as long as they beat SEC teams. Fact is, we share the best SEC record, we have a better record than Tennessee, and the SECCG does not literally determine the best team in the Nation.

The Georgia Bulldogs are ranked #4, ahead of LSU, and should move up by virtue of Missouri and West Virginia's loss. We are one of the two best teams in the United States.

[golden goose]

Ohio State was ranked #3 and the two teams in front of them lost while they didn't play.

Ohio State is a lock to move up to #1.

UGA was ranked #4 with the same circumstances.

They were ranked there LAST week when EVERYONE ALREADY KNEW they didn't have a chance to play this week.

This is the way the BCS has worked ALL YEAR LONG AND EVERY YEAR IT HAS EXISTED.

Whether or not you think this system is the RIGHT one for college football, it IS the one we have in place right now.

If you are going to change the system now in the last week of the season then NO ONE can make a case for why it should EVER exist again.

UGA should play for the title under the existing system.

Whether or not the system is correct is ANOTHER DEBATE ALL TOGETHER.

Maybe they can try to fix it again this offseason.

[Same Ol Falcons]

You're right twyst - I'm trying to think too far back

I love the Big XII but that is a joke - this game needs a playoff period, there is about 10 teams that could make the case they belong and I can despute all 10, this is rediculous

[JaGz]

I said OU and NEB. didnt win their conf.:crazy:

[rogueleadersf]

That shouldn't matter.LSU lost just last week to AN UNRANKED TEAM remember.There other loss was to a Kentucky team that UGA beat rather easily.If UGA was ranked at #4 knowing that it wouldn't play in a conference championship game and OSU did not play in a game and is expected to move to #1,there is no reason to NOT put UGA at #2 and in the big game.LSU already had there shot and lost TWICE this year as the #1.No matter what happens ,it just goes to show how screwed up the BCS is.

[IonSen88]

Oklahoma didn't win their conference either and lost to LSU by 7 points. The voters should throw us a bone because LSU's title is because of the same thing that's causing controversy now.

[slyckbyrd]

i think uga needed lsu to lose to get into the title game and unfortunately that didnt happen

[xrage]

And LSU beat both South Carolina and Tennessee whom UGA lost to and they've won a championship game. See how that works?

[Peyton]

Here is the thing -

If the voters thought UGA was number 4 last week and LSU was number 7, how could they possibly move LSU over UGA based on that rather unimpressive conference championship game?

All of the voters in the poll knew that UGA couldn't play this week when they voted them number 4 last week, so i don't see how they could possibly vote LSU ahead of them based on the game they played yesterday.

If we are to assume that Ohio State moves up by default, I don't see how UGA doesn't move up by default too.

Great point. The fact that LSU fell to #7 after losing to Arkansas last week messed everything up. That put them ower than UGA who wasn't going to play for the SEC championship and lower than VT whom they blew out earlier in the year, even though all those teams had the same amount of losses. It is pretty crazy to move LSU up from #7 to #2 when only two teams in front of them lost this week. Its also pretty crazy how Hawaii is the only team in 1A still undefeated and they can't even crack the top 10.

[headhunter25]

but the BCS is different compared to then.

if it would have been the way it is now, they would have not been playing in the NC

[rogueleadersf]

No matter what happens,2,3 or more teams will have a legitimate agrument why they were not picked.The system is flawed greatly but greed blinds people and they can't see the forrest for the trees.They could still make money with a playoff.
