Okay, everybody just slow down for a second. Let the voice of reason take care of this mess. Georgia is getting a lot of love from the ESPN douches this morning, but I just don't have a good feeling about where they'll end up. Let's face it, not one person thought they would even be close to being in this position at the beginning of this season. With that said being 10-2 and crowned as the one of the best teams in the country "right now" is pretty damn special. All of that is great, but they have a shot at playing in the title game and a really good shot at winning if they do get in.
Georgia deserves a shot at Ohio State, but don't be surprised if the get passed right on by the BCS. It sounds like a broken record this morning on ESPN, "there is no rule saying that the a team has to win their conference to be in the big game". The way the BCS is set up, Ohio State and UGA should be 1 & 2 tomorrow, but the system mysteriously gets tweaked this time of year, every year. We are at the mercy of a computer, and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that how it should be? I would love to see Georgia play the Buckeyes, because I think they would surprise a lot of people around the country. All of those winy yankees would get to see their beloved Buckeyes play a very solid team. If they win good for them, and they would have actually earned their first W of the year.
There's got to be a better way to decide who the best 2 teams in the country are. Georgia has earned the right to be thrown in the same conversation as LSU, USC, and Ohio State. The Dawgs have won 6 straight and are looking pretty scary to other teams around the country. I think they deserve to be matched up against a Ohio State or USC team, but I fear they will get stuck playing Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl. Playing that Hawaii team is a lose/lose situation. If they don't get the National Championship bid, then best case scenario is the Rose Bowl against USC. That my friends would be an instant classic, and in the words of Skip Bayless (a close friend of this blog), "you can book it". Worst case scenario is a Hawaii matchup, but at least the brotherhood would be able to run wild in NOLA for a couple of days.
