Loser: Texas A&M Narrative. Yes they seem to be a good team but what I have not heard anyone talk about - what is their best win? A two loss Notre Dame or 3 loss LSU?
Winner: Texas A&M schedule. They don’t play Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, or Tennessee. What other SEC teams would be undefeated if they had an A&M schedule?
I'm not sold on A&M being elite, but their win against ND was a solid win. Yes ND has 2 losses, but they are a very solid team, that always get a free hall pass from the media regarding their ranking. Not sure A&M can win a championship given how inconsistent their QB can be (yes he can be amazing but can look just as pedestrian on simple plays) plays at times, but Bama's inability to run the ball or consistently stop the run is going to bite them at some point.
If the DAWGS can hold on and take a desperate Florida team and a rising Miss State team, Georgia will be poised to take down Texas and may just make the SEC championship game. DAWGS are definitely starting to gel but a tougher than suspected schedule remains. Survive and thrive baby!
If you'd asked me before the season started if I'd be happy with our 6-1 at this point— including beating a ranked TN team in brutal Neyland stadium, beating always-tough Auburn on the road, taking care of #5 Ole Miss, and the only loss being a close one to AL that was winnable— I'd have likely said that works. Better man up for Florida, Texas, and Tech down the home stretch, as all 3 are very capable teams. Go Dawgs!
If A&M and Bama win out, then UGA doesn't get into the SECC game, right? One of them needs to lose a conference game before the end of the season. Best option is that Texas beats A&M after UGA beats Texas… That loss to Bama was a self inflicted pedal-digit amputation for sure…. but no use crying over spilt milk…
Never has the statement , " Just WIn Baby" been more true than with this years UGA squad. I'm not sure(I don't think GS is either) how we took all of these 4 and 5 star defensive guys out of HS and made them look like they couldn't stop a decent Division 1 schools offense, but we did. Not sure falling behind and rallying late is the right recipe for future success, but we have obviously pulled it off up til now. While the SEC wails away on each other, Ohio St. will come to the playoffs having played cupcakes and no doubt fit and trim.
Loser the fans, firing of coaches which results in huge buy outs and bigger salaries for the next one results in higher ticket prices
It's just unfortunate for us that A&M and Bama aren't scheduled to play each other. That would take care of one of the losses that's necessary for UGA to play for the SEC Championship. If they both handle their business, we could be watching them play for the SEC championship in December even if we handle our business!
GO DAWGS!
How is it that UGA has 2 bye weeks but will have to play 4 SEC teams coming of byes? It does not seem that that can happen by accident.
I know winning the SEC is an important goal for our program (every year), but as long as we get into the big dance (where I'm confident we'll be dangerous), I'll be satisfied. And we control our own destiny for that. Go Dawgs!
@UGADad20: Maybe "parity", be it college or professional sports, is not only a function of talent being spread around, but also the schedulers deciding who they want to lean on to minimize dynasties? In any case, the field does indeed seem a bit tilted for us. Go Dawgs!
The title…Georgia's Winners and Losers
LSU?
Sark?
Quality journalism requires a Quality editor, where do I apply?
it doesn’t help disprove the conspiracy theory that Greg Sankey and the sec hate Georgia.
@khummel @GoodOlDawg Both of you are right in my view. And both comments show you can be right both ways with a little different view from each. Yes we Do want to play in and Win the SECCG year in and out. But and If we end up having to sit it out wouldn’t it be SO nice to knock off the other SEC team that Does win it by virtue of the playoffs ??!!?? So making the playoffs is even More important.
If it worked out that Bama won the SECCG only for our beloved Dawgs to beat them in the playoffs Man I’d have to have a cardiac team on standby !! That would be SO sweet all my teeth would fall out at one time !!
That’s Not to say I wouldn’t really savor beating them in the SECCG !! I most assuredly would !! The sweetest of sweet would be beat them in the SECCG then beat them Again in the playoffs !! Then go on to win the Ntl. Title !! Tuscaloser would probably spontaneously combust if that happened !! I Still despise that Saban makes $500K a year as an “advisor” Yet is part of the ESPN Crew. I guess it’s legal but it sure isn’t ethical !! Go Dawgs !!
@khummel I agree, I want to see some post season action with this team trending in the right direction! A healthy OL and experienced defense will be very competitive for the Natty. It wouldn't bother me if the Dawgs had to host a first-round game after last year's results of all four bye teams getting beat and all four first-round host teams winning. Either way, I think they will be more ready when playoff time comes.
GO DAWGS!
Let's keep it simple:
Winner….UGA SECCG and Playoffs
Losers….All teams who play them in those crucial !games
LOLOL
