Get over it, son.

Spurrier’s still fixated on that schedule thing.

Vandy’s got an easier schedule than the ‘Cocks, too.  So how come nobody’s picking the Commodores to finish ahead of South Carolina?

I tell you what – it’s about time for Evil Richt to emerge and start needling Spurrier about this.  The seed’s already been planted in the OBC’s head.

    Maybe by the time we cycle through this phase of the schedule, the Cocks will get a top 10 OM and we’ll get a 3-9 LSU. Look forward to Ball Coach tweets if that happens.

    If the whiny bastard is this OCD about it now, what’s he going to do if UGA wins the East? I’ll tell you what he’ll do….he’ll tell anyone that will listen that even if UGA wins the SEC Championship game in Atlanta, they don’t deserve a shot at #1 because they had such an easy schedule. And the sad part is that he will probably prevail in his mission to deny Georgia that chance. His hatred for Georgia will trump his loyaty to the SEC, if he ever had any. The guy seems to have everything, but his obsession with Georgia is making him sick. How sad…kind of. He would have made a damn good nerd. Maybe that will be his next step in his obsession…to replace PJ at GT. He would find plenty of like-company at the nerd factory.

      I would be pissed if anyone bought that line of reasoning, but I wouldn’t be particularly angry at Spurrier. My love of Georgia trumps my SEC pride. I don’t give two farts if another SEC team makes it to the NC game or not. But I would be steaming mad (though not really surprised) if such an argument kept us out of it.

    Spurrier is wrong about UGA’s strength of schedule. If you break it down to specific things, let’s say pass defenses:
    UGA goes up against 8 top 30 pass defenses from 2011
    SC goes up against 7 top 30 pass defenses from 2011
    http://www.cfbstats.com/2011/leader/national/team/defense/split01/category02/sort01.html

    Both teams will have a tough year if they can’t run the ball well facing 7-8 top 30 pass defenses.

    But, regardless of Spurrier’s attempt to portray his team as the one with the tougher schedule, it’s just not as cut and dry as that.

  15. BBagger

    Another example of how UGA’s strength of schedule is HARDER than Spurrier’s.

    Looking at how many teams both face who finished ranked in the top 20 in scoring defense, against ranked teams:
    UGA faces 4 teams that finished top 20 in scoring defense vs. ranked teams in 2011: Miss St, SC, UF, GT
    SC faces 2 teams that finished top 20 in scoring defenses vs. ranked teams in 2011: LSU, Florida

    So, I hope people start calling out whiner Steve Spurrier, you can see why if UGA goes on a roll, it deserves to play for the National Championship. If UGA makes it through that gauntlet, against 8 of the top 20 pass defenses in the country, THEY EARNED a spot to play for all the marbles.

    Let’s look at offenses, which team faces better offenses:

    UGA faces 1 team who finished in the top 20 last year in offensive scoring against ranked teams, South Carolina (#12)
    South Carolina only faces 1 too, LSU (finished #19)

    So these defenses will not face hardly any offenses that perform well in big games.

    UGA’s toughest offensive scoring vs. ranked teams opponnent was ranked higher than South Carolina’s.

    http://www.cfbstats.com/2011/leader/national/team/offense/split13/category09/sort01.html

    So, UGA will face 4 teams that finished top 20 in scoring defenses against ranked teams in 2011, SC will only face 2.

    Both will face the same number of teams that finished in the top 20 in scoring offenses against ranked teams, 1 team on each schedule.

    Overall, UGA has a tougher schedule than South Carolina.

      Actually BBagger, UGA played a schedule last season comparable to Bama’s so-called “national championship schedule” but got no credit for it. Get out the 2 team’s schedules and compare them. They are very similar. The big differences between UGA’s 2011 schedule and Bama’s: UGA did not have to play Bama but conversely Bama did not have to play UGA; UGA did not have to play Arkansas but did play South Carolina while Bama did play Arkansas but did not play South Carolina (which had beaten Bama the previous year); UGA played LSU once (in the SECCG) and lost whereas Bama played LSU twice (once during the regular season and again in the BCSNCG) and split, losing one and winning one. The OOC schedule for UGA was substantially tougher than Bama’s, too. UGA played Boise, GA Tech and 2 walkovers. Bama played Penn State and 3 walkovers. This whole easy schedule BS is just that–BS. There is no such thing as an easy schedule in the SEC. It’s just an excuse for losers.

        Absolutely, 2011 UGA’s schedule was brutal. UGA played 4 teams that ended up practically in the top 10 in the AP.
        #2 LSU (ahead 10-7 at halftime)
        #8 Boise (down 14-7 at halftime)
        #9 South Carolina (lost by 3 points)
        #11 Mich State (lost by 3 points in double overtime)

        That’s as tough as any schedule in the country.

        South Carolina only played 1 team that ended up in the top 11 in the AP.

        UGA played 4.

        I think he meant that Auburn has fared better against Carolina historically than Arkansas has, whereas Arkansas has fared worse against us than Auburn has…so if you switch them, Carolina is more likely to lose, and we’re more likely to win. I don’t think he actually wanted to trade the games.

        I’m not advocating the switch. It’s the point that historically, Auburn is a much tougher opponent than Arkansas, and as such, we typically have a tougher draw.

    Spurrier using the tactics of past masters; distract the enemy from their original purpose.

    To judge by the quotes here, he has already done that to the fans. It remains to be seen if the UGA coaches and players will fall for it.

    In the 90s, Tennessee coaches and player seemingly fell for this every single year.
