4 things: A holiday wishlist for Georgia and college football
Georgia football needs two of its top players to return to win a championship next season, and college football needs to get its house in order

How about everybody agreeing that Vanderbilt be replaced by another team in the SEC
As far as a home game with Vandy next year...HA! The idea of the SEC doing anything to benefit UGA is a pipe dream! Not only was there the Vandy fiasco, but the clincher came when, after Coach Clown made asinine statements about full stadiums at the swamp because it was the 24,000 fans at Kyle Field that caused his team to lose to A&M and then he and his team contracted COVID, for no reason at all except to reward UF’s and Coach Clown’s idiocy, the SEC proceeded to punish Kirby’s exceptional efforts to maintain COVID protocol by altering the Dawg’s schedule which benefited no one but the Gators! All Sankey deserves is a butt kicking!
The biggest problem with the play-off committee: They will do whatever it takes to get Ohio St and Oklahoma "IN".
All either one has to do is not lose more than 1 game and they are a virtual lock into the play-off. Neither one ever plays any real top 5 team in- conference.
Even when Oklahoma loses 2, they still get over-ranked. Oklahoma lost 2 in 2020, neither was a great team. Georgia lost 2, one to No.1 and the other to Florida. Apples to apples comparison didn't come into play.
Doesn't matter that Georgia's playing better to finish the season. Oklahoma was naturally ranked higher than Georgia.
This committee, and every one before it has been eat up with bias.
I can't imagine Daniels having a 1st round grade this year. His best film is with the Dawgs and I can't fathom a GM taking him in the 1st round in 2021 and as a QB, I don't understand coming out early without a 1st round grade. NFL GM's can't miss on 1st round QB'S. Too much at stake like the future of the franchise and their jobs as GM.
Merry Christmas and GO DAWGS!! Let's get ready for the Bearcats!
I believe that Vanderbilt should receive some level of punishment for the way they handled the cancellation. But scheduling Vandy twice in the same season? That's no way to respond. It's like playing Nichols State twice. You're rated, in part, by the strength of your competition. It's about strength of schedule.
What great outcome results from playing the 136th team (in FBS)?
The idea is to play Vanderbilt in Athens the next two years to make up for the game they bailed on, not playing them twice in the same year.
Mark, some teams are rated by strength of competition, and UGA is one of those teams.
Other teams, like Oklahoma and Ohio St, it doesn't seem to matter.
A more favorable schedule would be to play Vandy at their place, and the tougher teams at home. Go Dawgs, home and away!
@E_Roc Yeah, I totally lost track of the two-game argument. Too much Tito's and beer last night.
Mike.
I have been stating the same points you make in your column for years now... As a UGA grad 92 and friends well positioned with knowledge of UGA athletics and it's history of "Not Standing Up for One Self" 1. There is zero reason for Georgia to play Florida in Jax anymore...I pray that our new AD will see Kirby's vision and bring this game to Athens every other year and if FL wants to play in JAX as their home game let it be played on their home states turf. 2. The UT and Vandy games should have been changed to one away and one home game every year not the current rotation of one year both home and the next away. Hope the new AD stands up to the Birmingham SEC Mafi and clearly and effectively states we deserve and want Vandy to be played in Athens 2021 for payback and to help our home schedule out. We went close to two months without a freaking home game this year and most every other year we have 5-6 weeks without home games due to the freaking FL game being in JAX every year...just another reason to get this dam game on a home and home schedule. 3. UGA should have never agreed to the back to back away games with Aub and should have never agreed to the Aub game being moved up in our schedule. the new AD needs to get this back to a NOV scheduled meeting period.... screw AUB I say!
My rant for this cold Sat morning... enjoy your Sat Mike and greet podcast last night!
