In Jimbo Fisher’s case, leaving Georgia off your final ballot is an opportunity to let the world know how much your butt still hurts from losing your defensive coordinator to Mark Richt. Nice.

Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

The Genius had us at #15. I guess he wasn’t too impressed with his team’s work in Athens on November 29. Bigger fish to fry and all that.

Do you really think 15 is unfair?
LikeLike
Not if you think Wisconsin, Arizona, and Ole Miss would beat us. Most other coaches had us several slots higher – Saban had us at #10. Gary Pinkel actually ranked us above Mizzou. It’s pretty classless – especially when he has the Jackets six slots higher and we played them to a standstill. He’s a dirtbag.
LikeLike
If you want to talk about cut blocking, then I am all aboard the train to bash PJ.
But ranking us 15 doesn’t seem that bad.
I mean we are 13 on both the AP poll and the CFP rankings (and the overall coaches poll). 2 slots lower isn’t that much of a difference.
Putting Missouri above us is pretty dumb since we obliterated them, but then again Missouri won the SEC east. Wisco and Ole Miss are a little less defensible, but not absurdly so.

It is the perfect cherry on top of the turd sammich of ’14. Though I can mostly see the justification of giving Missouri the boost (maybe aided by thinking the matchup vs. Gophers would move more tix?) Guess the Outback Bowl just protested too much about the Dawgs continued presence.

Which might be true. But the conferences are supposedly the final voice in those decisions. Our AD acting in our behalf again. I am sure he is lobbying for a noon kickoff too. Seeing how SOS hurt Baylor, he might want to look at that pathetic OOC schedule he has us lined up with next year. It would be our luck to be next year’s Baylor.

Let me guess, once again, Georgia will be the highest ranked team ever to play in the…..Belk Bowl. Charlotte on Dec. 30….cold and wet is my prediction. Absolutely zero reason that a 4 loss Auburn, ranked below us, who we beat, gets the Tampa bowl game instead of us. Supposedly that’s what we were realistically lobbying for. Obviously, we came up short once again.

Peach Bowl weather from the 80s and 70s without the Peach Bowl dome of the 90s and 2000s. Plus a matchup with Grantham and Petrino. Maybe the fog will be so thick no one can see the field. I remember snow, sleet, 20 degree cold with 30 mile an hour winds. The only thing I never saw was a plague of locusts. Maybe they don’t like cold, wet, windy weather.
I remember one Peach Bowl game in the 70s when there was a frog strangling rainstorm that left Lake Lanier sized puddles on the crappy Atlanta Stadium turf..errr, dirt. A Tech RB just about drowned after going face down in one of them. At least the Panthers field has a little better drainage.

At first glance (Belk Bowl) I’ll grant it is underwhelming, but I think the matchup vs LVille is more attractive and with greater chance of reward than squaring off with a team that was just hosed 59-0. Recall UL, as well as four other teams!, had F$U dead to rights so a win will be hard-earned.

If you read the message boards, blogs, and listen to sports shows, you wouldn’t give UGA a spot in your bowl either if you wanted a large turnout. Bowls are different these days when it was a reward for a good season and fans looked forward to a trip to warmer climates. For all the complaints about the Outback, Citrus, and Gator Bowls, they best the hell out of Nashville, Memphis, Shreveport, and Charlotte for late December.
If it weren’t for the practices, we should take a pass. Schools should petition the NCAA about allowing redshirt players to actually see the field, at least for one half of any non-playoff games. They are glorified exhibitions anyway.
