Despite win, Dogs fall to No. 2 in coaches’ poll

Athens - Georgia isn’t No. 1 anymore, at least according to the coaches’ poll.

The Bulldogs, the No. 1 preseason team in both the coaches’ and media polls, dropped to No. 2 in the first regular-season coaches’ poll, released this afternoon.

The new AP media poll is scheduled to be released later today.

Georgia fell to No. 2 in the coaches’ poll after a 45-21 season-opening victory over Georgia Southern. USC moved up to No. 1 after a 52-7 rout of Virginia.

USC got 23 first-place votes and 1,462 total points from the coaches, while Georgia got 20 first-place votes and 1,442 total points.

Rounding out the top five: Ohio State at No. 3, Oklahoma No. 4, Florida No. 5.

Asked about dropping in the polls, Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford said: “I don’t care. We’re 1 and 0. That’s a good thing.”

The ACC only has one team left in the coaches’ top 25: Clemson at No. 22.

I'm not a Georgia fan but that's ridiculous. Win and still lose rank.

Oh yeah, where is Texas Tech ranked? Just out of curiousity.

Oh yeah, that's right...

With the loss of a star player, and Mark Richt's penchant for not attempting to embarrass opponents, this is not surprising, and was probably bound to happen at some point even if we went undefeated on the season.

What's going to be interesting to see is if the pollsters can manipulate the polls enough if there are 3 undefeated teams to keep UGA out of the BS championship game (or is that BCS). It's not like they have not manipulated the polls before to change who should be in that game.

Does any SANE person really believe Georgia could beat USC ??? Not even in the same league, talent wise.

Georgia's schedule is a joke.

USC travels 2700 miles to play an ACC team for game one. Georgia plays some Jr. college. Then this week they play an even more pathetic semi - college program.

Who's next after that ....................North Dakota State Teachers College for the Blind ????

Question :

When was the last time Georgia played a "real" team, say like Fla. State and USC does almost always, week one in the schedule.............ON THE ROAD ????????

Answer : NEVER.

End of story.
