This was emailed to me. Take a look at UGA’s case for the right right to make tOSU Failboats 0-9 against the SEC in Bowl Games (HT RunDawgRun).
Did I mention the bad news? Ainge owns Richt.
The Good News about GEORGIA is that the Bulldogs are simply one of the best teams in the country, for six straight wins now (no losses in regulation or overtime play in that time period).
The Good News about GEORGIA is that, according to the current BCS rules, it does NOT have to be its conference champion to make it to the BCS National Title game.
The Good News about GEORGIA is that it put itself in position to contend for the National Championship by strength of schedule and resulting record. As to strength of schedule, Georgia’s stacks up against anybody who is in contention for the BCS Title game. As for resulting record, Georgia has beaten Florida, Auburn and Tech all in one year, the first time that has been done since 1982 when they last played for a National Championship. Its only two losses were affected by scheduling factors where both opponents (South Carolina & Tennessee) had extra preparation time. One opponent in particular (Tennessee) manipulated its schedule in the offseason, dropping an opponent to gain a full bye-week advantage over Georgia this year. LSU did not have this disadvantage against Tennessee.
The Good News about GEORGIA is that, despite the fact it did not get a chance to play in and win its conference championship, it still shares an SEC East Division co-championship title for 2007. Georgia also did not lose on the last week or during a conference championship game, but, again, has won 6 games in a row in impressive fashion. And I have no doubt that Georgia would have beaten LSU.
IF fans and voters are bent by the word DESERVING today, and think they have to be swayed by the media favoring conference champions, that is one way of looking at it. However, if the word DESERVING is truly examined fully then GEORGIA is right up there. I would hope that the full body of work is taken into consideration rather than the whim of emotion. IF voters consistently vote, then GEORGIA will move into the National Title Game to face Ohio State, and this particular year in the BCS will have gone well.
