This is only my 64th-best post of 2010. My apologies.
- Speaking of Andrea “64” Adelson, you’ve got to give her credit for doubling down on her logic with this comment: “I have UCF, Idaho and TAM with better records. Does that mean they would beat UGA? Maybe, maybe not.”
- In any event, the ranking’s been a success: she’s generating take downs from other bloggers now. Attention is a good thing.
- That Tommy Tuberville – six months in, and he’s already an expert on the Big XII.
- Roll Bama Roll takes a look at SEC coaches’ salaries.
- Beef. It’s what’s for defense.
- A top 10 receivers list without Julio Jones’ name on it?
- Remember those Travis Jones-to-Georgia rumors? It’s probably for the best they didn’t come to fruition.
- It sounds like BYU is developing an acute case of Ute envy.
- When it comes to the BCS, Gary Patterson continues to be the most clear-eyed coach in America.
- The bowls keep an eye on the conference shuffle.
- Five likes and five dislikes about the 2010 Tennessee squad.
“64″ Adelson was just following the Finebaum playbook on how to generate hits. The fact that she can’t offer a coherent rationale for UGA’s ranking just proves it.

A UGA fan must have spurned her advances at one time or another.

Tommy Tuberville speaketh the truth–what many do not want to say or hear.

It’s funny how all of the “Richt on the Hot Seat” and low preseason rankings have started in both Alabama and Florida. I’m eating it up.
There’s irony, too, in the Gator medi completely overlooking some key question marks. Does anyone think their new D coordinator is going to be as good as Strong? Do they just assume? Do they just assume their run game is going to improve with Tebow gone? That those WRs who weren’t worth crap last season are going to wake up and be Percy Harvins? That you can replace two defensive ends who went to the NFL so easily? And I haven’t even gotten to the Brantley-hasn’t-taken-a-meaningful-snap question.
I think the Gators are deep in talent, and Meyer is still the HC, but come on.

Adelson logic:
“Andrea Adelson is really a pen name adopted by Willie Martinez who found his passion for writing during the 2008 season. His dismissal following the 2009 season was the true awakening he needed to pursue the true love of his life: newspaper hackery.
… I’ll freely admit if I am wrong, but we’ll have to see how it plays out.”
“Urban Meyer is a cyborg that fuels itself on aborted fetuses, banana peels, and Fanta Orange.
… If I’m wrong, then I’ll come back and admit it. Criticize all you want, but until I’m proven wrong, this is what I believe.”

Well played, sir.
It’s her “freely admit” cop-out that makes the whole thing so special.

Ahem…
I’m confused. I thought a playoff was a guaranteed lottery for everyone. It virtually prints money, no?

The Dawgs front 7 ‘beef’ should be fine. Washington 250, Dent 230, Dowtin 220, Houston 255, Tyson 295, Jones 290, Dobbs 270 = 1,810. That’s probably the ‘lightest’ version. If players like Geathers 320, Gamble 250, Wood 285 or Lott 295 contribute, the size/weight increases substantially.

I’m as big a DawgHata as they come, but seriously, wtf?
I’m assuming my Tigers are getting ranked higher than UGA.
Is that based on also having a QB that hasn’t started an SEC game? Having “less” talent than UGA?
