There's no denying the fact the Misery kitties had the Dawgs on a short leash for most of the game. Which brings up the question, "Why?", Heisman hype, rat poison overconfidence, reloading from losing a ton of talent to the NFL, road game against a SEC team or a combination of those things and more. IMHO, I think they way the Dawgs played was more about reloading with younger pups, maybe, just maybe being a little overconfident, but perhaps the biggest factor is expectations.
Still, as bad as that game was, the one thing that's pretty much been a standard in the SEC is the fact that no team can be taken lightly, well, except for maybe Tennessee's puddle pirates. The way the kitties played Saturday, against other conferences teams, I honestly believe they would have beaten at least 80% of them, yet the Dawgs found a way to win. Is this team better than last year's team, despite the past couple of games, I believe they are, at least talent wise that is, experience is a different matter altogether.
All this being said, I still believe the Dawgs will go 12-0, will win the SEC Championship game and ultimately another National Championship. The Dawgs are just as good if not better than those inbred pachyderms left of the glorious state of Georgia, the same goes for those Jokehio nuts. I believe Saturday's game accomplished 2 important things, a solid wake-up call reminding the Dawgs they can't take anyone for granted, and pushing past adversities to win.
As for slipping in the rankings, big friggin deal, the only one that matters comes after the CFP Championship game, personally, I prefer the Dawgs being at #2. Hopefully the drop from #1 accomplishes 2 things, it makes the Dawgs hungry to get back to the top, and the sports media chuckleheads focuses their rat poison hype on some other team. Look for next week to be a free kitty neutering clinic, compliments of the Dawgs.
GO DAWGS!!!
