There ought to be a name for this kind of after-the-fact rationale:
What’s going on in the East? After getting smoked by the Broncos in W1, the Dawgs are where many thought they’d be and everyone is once again talking about their easy road to Atlanta. So do victories over two disappointing Mississippi schools and a close loss against an average USC team mean much?
That “average USC team” was ranked 10th before the loss to Auburn. MSU was ranked as high as 16th before the same thing happened. Now they’re just a couple of stiffs. Which conveniently makes Georgia about the same.
I guess if the Dawgs take care of business tonight, we’ll hear the same thing out of this guy next week, regardless of Dooley’s attire.
Give me your suggestions about what you’d call that… best idea gets an entry.

Georgia’s own fans are as likely to do this as anyone, and it drives me nuts.

When we kick UT’s asses the same people will say UT was a stiff and the win means nothing. Just keep winning Dawgs and sooner or later they’ll have to shut up.

Hope springs eternal. You hear the same sort of dreck about hypothetical win/loss combinations that alter the race.

As stated above, can we just refer to this as “Georgia fan syndrome – an attempt to belittle every accomplishment of Georgia football by proclaiming that all accomplishments were against crappy competition.”
I swear, we could beat the Gators by 50 points and our fans would figure out a way to feel bad about it because Florida’s back-up punter had an ingrown toenail and therefore they were inferior opponents or something.

UAB is up 3-0 on Miss. State at the start of the 3rd quarter. Miss State has 108 total yards. I hope this doesn’t mean our defensive accomplishments last week were overrated.

My other question is this – both Auburn and Florida are now 4-2 like we are. Do they get unranked this week with us or do we get ranked too?
It’s a rhetorical question. Just keep winning Dawgs!!
