I think there are many a DAWG fan commenting on here who have loved the DAWGS and cheered them on win or lose for 30,40, 50 years or more. Many more years than some on here have been alive. Been 55 years for me personally and I remember the 1980 NC . Don't talk to me about just "enjoying the games and loving our Dawgs". I have been with the DAWGS thick and thin every year that I was big enough to understand the game. It's about wanting the best for something you really care about and not being satisfied with a participation trophy.
If they, say, get beat by Clemson that will more than likely (IMO) drop them out of the hunt for a NC. Will I be disappointed? Yep! But will I be there watching and cheering them on every game? And commenting on here? Yep! It's not one or the other.
If the talent wasn't there no one on here is even mentioning a NC. But it's there. Thousands of frustrated UGA fans are tired of close but no cigar. But we're not tired of the Dawgs and there is a difference.
For a preseason rating, it seems about correct. The teams ranked above UGA have more success when playing other elite teams and also have a better history of reloading. I would think after the first two weeks of the season there will be some adjustments. It will be interesting to see where the dawgs are ranked..
I must have missed the name of the ohio state quarterback in the article. Has he ever played a college game? It seems they just didn't think enough of him to even state his name. Luckily they somehow managed to power through that 6 game "Big" 10 schedule last year.
I may give you the kid from clem(p)son because he played while Lawrence was out and did well but the Alabama kid is still unproven, to me. I don't doubt his talent but he just didn't get the time in to be considered "better". Meanwhile, Daniels had a full year of playing at USC and half a year at UGA. I think that's a pretty good sample size.
The reasoning in this is just plain silly. Luckily it is espn so it's like reading the comics.
*Edit*
I have to add, Daniels playing in 4 games is almost ohio state's entire season last year.
