Mike - I like your rankings except I would rank Oregon higher. I agree that Washington may be the best team in the country. Also not sure Ohio State is that much better than Michigan but time will tell. Thanks for posting your rankings.
@MikeGriffith Good article Mike !! Yes at This particular moment in time your rankings are pretty accurate in my view.
Keep an eye on Penn St. their playing some good football so far. This Might and I say with some temperance Might be the year they beat Both OSU and Michigan, if not W’s I feel they will put up some very tough competition.
I just want our beloved Dawgs to keep posting W’s. Like with Auburn this Sat. Keep bringing the younger players along, and Hopefully avoid any more major injuries, And get some injured guys back.
Honestly at this point in our schedule I’m not gonna sweat points much, just Win !!! Do that and our Dawgs will get stronger and stronger as the season progresses. Go Dawgs !!
Washington is playing some strong football as is Penn State, much to the glee of my brother. UGA will play much better ball once a full and healthy squad is fielded. Elite players count. Surely do. Especially this year. Auburn will be a tough win for UGA.
A Very good friend of mine and former shipmate, Like a brother to me is a big Penn St. fan so I eyeball them some when I can. Be nice for me to get revenge on him for when his Lions beat Herschel and Coach Dooley !! I’d get the last laugh. 😀
But Right Now at THIS particular moment in time I wouldn’t want to play them. Dawgs are only gonna get Better and Stronger as they go along. Just keep posting the W’s and Don’t stumble !!! We’ll be there when the regular season is over !! Go Dawgs !!
I look at injured players coming back as a luxury that could propel us to dominance but I'm not counting on it.
I'm more concerned with bringing along the younger players and the transfer wrs. I think this will pay dividends in a big way.
I'm not sure right now if injured guys coming back or younger players impacting our season is what will project us back to dominance. The 3rd option is we won't win it all this year because neither of the other 2 things will happen.
Are we good enough to win it all right now? Maybe on 2 or 3 good days in a row (SECCG and PGs).
I am not a betting man. However, I will wager that out of the 3 possiblities presented above we get a little of 1 (injured players coming back) and mostly 2 (younger guys stepping up and becoming factors). I still don't think we lose a game this year but I do think we have a couple more close calls.
Washington? C’mon man. I’ve defended you when I think you’re being villainized. Washington? They might be fourth-best in their conference. You might be high on them. They might be that good. But throwing a national vote down for Washington gives off the appearance of being fashionable. It insults me as a reader. I may be old school, but #1 has to be taken. Not given.
IMO you've got Ohio State and Bama a bit high. Ought to be: OSU 7, Oregon 8, Tide 9 -- and maybe Oregon even higher.
We've earned three or lower. But I have faith that our injured guys will come back strong and we'll make a very good impression over the next couple of weeks.
I watched Tennessee, greatest entrance in the land for a good laugh. It didn’t disappoint!!
Everybody outside of Knoxville knows that’s a joke!
The ONLY way to be #1 is to earn it......beat The Dawgs or The Dawgs lose and get jumped over by an undefeated team....Mike, Georgia's win from behind over South Carolina is better than any win by Washington....when they win at JH over Auburn will be even more proof they remain the #1 team in America. Texas win over Bama in Tuskerville is good enough for #2.....after that it's your favorite flavor....I happen to like Big Blue, but I'm swayed by my Michigan grad wife and her whole Big Blue Family.
The greatest thing about the Dawgs this year...is that, it's the 5th game of the season and all of their backups, have enough playing time, now...to be considered experienced "starters". And, that's next year's team.
They'll have experienced talent, all over the field this week. "Kirby's Heroes" are now, ready...not just for "This Season"...but, next season, as well. Bowers, McConkey and other Junior NFL Prospects...may even return for their 4th Natty and a shot at The Heisman, in 2024. NIL being what it is...money, won't be the deciding factor...IMO.
UGA will blow everybody off the field, going forward. I don't understand, how people that make their money "analyzing CFB",...can't see what's happening in Athens and why UGA is apparently "starting slow". I keep thinking..."They'll catch up.". But, that doesn't seem to be the case. Lol
Nicely done.
A lot of people don't understand football well at all. Plenty don't understand what Kirby's doing or how Georgia's program works or how Georgia wins games. They don't get it at all.
We very much need to get a whole lot better. We also need the win over the Tiger Eagle. As I see it, nothing is guaranteed. The games are played for a reason.
Go, Dawgs!
