what is winning big?

Only 2 losses - Clemson and Bama

Only one loss - Clemson or Bama 

undefeated #1 seed going into the playoff

or winning the playoff with 2, or 1, or undefeated?

Florida is planning on using Bowman (5* Clemson transfer) in a Percy Harvin role - getting reps at RB and WR.  
We have plenty of stars in the backfield, but it won't mean much if the OL can't run-block.

For Georgia, it's 1980, 1980, 1980.  
I was born in 1980...and getting older by the day.  They need a NC.  
Since they won it, Florida has 3, Auburn has 1, Bama has 37, GA freakin' Tech has one, Clemson has 3, Tennessee has one, FSU has 3......I mean, for Georgia fans, the past 40 years has to feel like Oprah's straddling Stone Mountain giving away natties.....but they haven't gotten one.

I think two losses would be unacceptable, even if they were to Clemson and Alabama. Losing to both is losing the hard games on their schedule, which hardly seems elite. Losing one game hurts, when you are as talented as Georgia appears to be, but losing both would keep them out of the playoff, and that result would have to be viewed as a major failure by Georgia. This season appears tailor made for Georgia to have a needed breakthrough. If not now, when?

Given that Georgia now ranks above Ohio State on the Blue-chip ratio, I believe the Bulldogs are out of excuses, they need to win big this season, or quit talking about being an elite football power.

Kirby Smart is a terrific recruiter, that hasn’t done very much with all the accumulated talent. I have listened to many podcasts, getting ready for the current season, and when they discuss coaches and win totals, there is an upward adjustment for Pat Fitzgerald (usually exceeds expectations), and a negative adjustment for Kirby Smart (he finds ways to lose games he should win).





I think Kirby is pretty much a shit and meddles in his offense, but they have done a good bit by most measures. They've won 83 percent of their games since 2017. Nearly half their losses came to Bama or that great LSU team.

I think at a point they'll start looking around because you don't fire someone as successful as Mark Richt to be only a step better, but, I mean, there's only one way they're going to quiet critics, which is to fell Bama, and failing to do that does not mean a team hasn't done much. (Lord, why is the world making me say nice things about Kirby. Look at that haircut)

If the Dawgs drop the first one, they almost have to win out.  Granted, a 11-2 SEC Champ would probably make the playoffs.

I half expect they will lose one to "South Carolina" or something.

Your thoughts?


  • Will it seem fairly normal with tailgating and full capacities?
  • What does your top ten look like at the moment?
  • What are pluses and minuses for your team, and where would you rank them?
  • What is the toughest out on your schedule?
  • What is a sleeper team quasi-forgotten you think could make a run for the top ten?
  • What is an asleep highly regarded team you think could slide to 9-4ish?
I think it will be fairly normal now.  That is great.
My top ten looks like everyone else's, though I am suspect on A&M and UNC.
Plus is a lot of offense coming back, minus is three injured starters in camp.
Clemson, but really it's UF.
I don't know.
A&M, UNC, Iowa State, Cincy

I have listened to many podcasts, getting ready for the current season, and when they discuss coaches and win totals, there is an upward adjustment for Pat Fitzgerald (usually exceeds expectations), and a negative adjustment for Kirby Smart (he finds ways to lose games he should win).

Georgia is loaded from a personnel standpoint, with an experienced QB, which is rare at the elite schools this season, and they start out by playing Clemson (a huge game), but when I would expect to see swagger from a team this talented, I hear and read doubt (about injuries, about Clemson, about winning). Clemson is one of the elite teams, but their final game showed that they were very beatable, so I don’t understand the lack of confidence that I am hearing from the Georgia program going into this season. The rest of the SEC East powers are looking like this may be a down year (opportunity).




Just curious: where did you hear any lack of confidence coming out of the UGA program?  Everybody down here thinks this should be the year.  All Kirby has been missing is a qb good enough to match the rest of the roster and we think he has found one at least good enough not to be a glaring weakness.

So, this kid committed to Texas, then decommitted, committed to Baylor, enrolled, entered the portal, transferred to Rutgers, and now is in the portal again. and he didn't even know the proper name of the school he's been at for 18 months.


He's gonna end up at Liberty, or something.
