It's ESPN, owned by Disney, what else do you need to know....
All good points. Very few teams run the table as #1 from the beginning of the season until the very end. I think it has been done only a couple times.
I personally love it. Kirby needs something, anything to motivate these guys and not get complacent. This team is fully loaded and ready for bear. Bama, LSU and OSU are the only teams that could actually beat us. Michigan has a super easy schedule as does OSU so in all liklihood The Big Game will be played against 2 undefeated teams either 1 & 2 or 2 &3 or something.
Needless to say I am a big Texas and Penn State fan this year. Hook 'Em!
I personally don't see that UGA should automatically be #1 just because they were the last two years. It's a new year and things change. I completely get that UGA is unproven at QB and lost a load to the NFL. Can they reload? Absolutely. What is a head scratcher to me is that Herbstreit puts so much stock in Bama considering they lost essentially the same - including the Heisman and #1 pick at QB. As unproven as UGA is at QB, Bama is equally - if not more so. Did anyone see that Bama Spring game? Nick did and wen to the portal to bring in another QB. And Reese with Michigan..... maybe so if they can get past TCU 🙄. Seeing UGA ranked in the top five is fine with me. No one wins a Championship in July or Sept or Oct. And this just gives Kirby a calling card. It will all work itself out. Go Dawgs.
I can see the logic behind Michigan being #1 or LSU since they have returning qbs.
I guess those 2 think they can say anything positive or negative about Georgia now that David Pollack won’t be around to try to keep them in check.
When was the last time either one of these "Bone Heads", were right? About anything?
Lol...who the hell cares, what they think?. They're just doing what they're told. This is the way I see their preseason WAR Room meeting going...
ESPN said......."Herby, you've been living up Nick's ass for the last 14 years...why don't you take Bama, this year? And, "Reecie Cup"...that leaves either OSU or Michigan for you. Which one do you want. Yall don't have to worry about Pollack...we fired him to keep him off your back. We've gotta create some buzz around College Football or we gonna lose a fortune. But...for the love of God...Whatever yall do...DO NOT mention Georgia's Defense. Pretend like it's 2021 all over again.".
Or, something like that.
It's "sound"...ONLY IF...you ignore everything...BUT...the quarterback position, which those "big thinkers" at ESPN tend to do.. When you start looking at the depth, experience, offensive lines, receivers, Defense and Special teams...it's short-sighted and amateurish to go with the "usual suspects", based soley on the QB position. IMO.
If you're gonna do THAT...you might as well throw South Carolina in there. They return one of the best QB's in the Country. He's just not on Herbie or Reecie's radar, anymore...and, yet. He was in 2020 and 2021...but, they dropped Rattler like a hot potato, early last year. And, just when he was getting ready to and live up to the hype.
Lol....those two guys...Herbie and Reecie...just can't buy a "correct prognostication".
If I'm not mistaken....UGA just proved, in 2021, you don't need a "juggernaut offense"...if you have a "steel curtain defense". What do you think their defense will look like, in 2023? Personally...I think they'll be better all-round...not just on the front 7.
You have to score on Georgia...to beat Georgia. I don't think Kirby plans on letting anybody do that, without a fight. Where does Bama and Michigan stand, with respect to their "defense"?
Michigan will have to win their weak conference to get a possible re-match with TCU..
I wouldn't expect anything more from these two "Fan Boys"......and to think they are paid millions to provide fact based, cogent assessments on college teams and all they can muster is GREAT BULLETIN BOARD material when comes to The DAWGS. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE HEADLINES JANUARY 9, 2024....Hope David Pollack is around to get "The Dawg Nation" JAB by asking these two how it all happened and what went wrong with Big Blue and The Tide??????
I think this is great. The ESPN guys are just drumming up interest which is their job. DP rarely showed any UGA bias. In fact I would say he was the most unbiased between Herb, Corso, and Desmond.
I think their is a logical argument to pick Michigan or LSU but not Bama. The qb thing makes sense to me if Georgia wasn't so good everywhere else this coming year.
I'm excited now to see how the team responds. It's Georgia against the world - haha!
Oh when will Game Day grace us with their first appearance??????
I'm thinkin that the Fan Boys love to stir up controversy....that's all ESPN is good for....so they're not really looking forward to coming to The Classic City for Game Day....I'm thinkin that IF The War **** Eagles/Tigers/Plainspeople...don't won't to offend the alphabet people...can pull out a win against Cal & TAMI, The undefeated Dawgs will roll into Jordan-Hare to face the undefeated Auburn______fill in the blank. I'm thinkin these morons will give the home field edge to Auburn but we can only HOPE! GOOOO DAWGS, SICEM!
I know, it's very wishful thinking, but Coach Freeze has been known to pull a few rabbits out of his headset!
These two clowns have probably been assigned the job of creating interest in next season by pushing Michigan and Alabama. After all, they are entertainers and the live or die by clicks and views. That being said, both of them are HIGHLY OVERRATED. HIGHLY Overrated. The true analysts, at least most of them, don't do well in front of a camera or microphone. Herbstreit picked Bama both last year and this year based purely on "emotion." He isn't loving on the Dawgs these days since we mastered his beloved Buckets. The perennial chokers of THE Ohio State Joke University. BTW, UGA is rated higher than OSU academically these days. Rece Davis is a Bama grad, so he also is hating on the Dawgs these days. My advice is to just tune them out. Walk away if these clowns come to Athens for a GameDay. Hit 'em where it hurts.
... or whip their fannies...
I think Rece would be great to hang out with. Not so much on Herb.
Let's just see how the season pans out.
It would be sweet to get the 3-Peat. I think we will see the Gameboys in Knoxville.
First Thanks for the bulletin board material !! I’m sure Kirby is appreciative of it as he will use it to motivate the Dawgs to destroy their opponents.
Secondly Any of our starting QBs are more than capable. As for now it looks like Beck will get the start and I have Full confidence in him. The initial part of the schedule will give him needed snaps to build his confidence and get dialed in.
Though I fully support ALL our QBs and will gladly support which ever is the starter, I think Beck has all the tools necessary to be a winner. And it will also give him allot of confidence knowing he will be supported by a ferocious Dawgs Defense !!
In my very ample gut I’ve got a feeling we’re about to witness one of if not The best Dawgs Defenses we’ve seen !! They have full potential to be Even better as a whole than the 2021 Dawgs Defense !!
Y’all feeling a 3peat ??!!?? I sure am !! Herbie and all the other naysayers crying in their stew will be a wonderful sight to behold !! It’s Good that our Dawgs are hated so much by the rivals, means their Winning !! Bwahaha !! Go Dawgs !! GATA !!
P.S. Just to repeat, God forbid Any of our QBs suffer serious season ending injuries, But I have full confidence in Beck, BVG, and Gunner. All three of these guys are more than capable, Especially with the weapons at their disposal to lead our Dawgs to Victory !! This being the case gives or should the entire program confidence, and Again paired with the Dawgs Defense a 3peat is not only Possible but Probable !!
