After week 1, I think it will be USC vs 1 of 5 from SEC, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Auburn or Alabama in no particular order. The SEC is loaded this year!


On another note, how bout Utah knockin off Michigan in The Big House! Michigan is starting a trend of poorly getting out of the gate.

I predict Missouri beats the Huskers in Nebraska for the first time in almost 30 years... beats Texas and then avenges our our only losses from last year by beating OU for the Big 12 Championship.

After that all bets are off.

OK, first let me say that I am a proud UGA and SEC partisan, but I do my best to be honest about our chances. I'm not one of those UGA wackjobs (and there are plenty) who think they should be in the NC race every year.

UGA will lose at some point if the season, if not at multiple points. It's very difficult to deal with the pressure of a #1 ranking for the entire season, regardless of how good you are. I would have been happier if they had been ranked #2 and felt slighted. With the schedule at UGA (at least after the Central Michigan game next week), there will never be a more deserved shot at a NC if they can go with only one win throughout the rest of the year, but that's not even money in my book (but oh, how I hope and wish!).

The Big 10 is a joke and Ohio State should no longer be allowed to play for the BCS until they can beat a world class SEC team (or is that redundant?). Ohio State is an overrrated team playing in an overrated conference. I know the Big 10 guys will come out looking at their conference total wins against the SEC and complain, but wins against Ole Miss, Kentucky and Vanderbilt shouldn't count the same as wins against UGA, LSU, Tennessee, Auburn, etc). If OSU is worth their salt, you'll find out when they play USC. Of course USC's schedule is usually a cupcake too, so it's difficult to judge how good they are too (they look to be loaded with talent and they sure whomped a sad looking Virginia team this past week).

After this first weekend, the ACC should close up shop or move to I-AA (or the Super Champion Happy Fun Division, or whatever they're calling it this year). Clemson got their hats handed to them by what is at the moment (sorry Bama fans) a second rate SEC team. Virginia Tech got beaten by a team called the Pirates who wear purple (not that their's anything wrong with that!). Who would have ever thought the addition of VA Tech, Boston College, Miami, etc, would make for such a weak conference in such a short period? How did they shed so much credibility in so little time?

The SEC is a meatgrinder and it makes it difficult to go through unscathed; but then again, it is the class of the conferences and I would rather play there than anywhere else. Can anyone honestly say that any of the top six or seven teams in the SEC wouldn't be the odds on favorite to win (almost) any other conference this year if they played there? Move Ohio State into the SEC and see how quickly they become South Carolina (and that's not a knock against South Carolina!).

Not to be a UGA whack job, but quite honestly I dont know that any team on UGA's schedule could beat the dawgs if they are playing up to their potential. The problem is that there is going to be a down week and it all depends on where that week falls. Clearly it aint going to be UF or LSU...it is too easy to predict loses there and if you aint up for those games you aint getting up for anything...I worry about a trip to Columbia and getting UT at our house...ASU is just going to serve to showcase the SEC dominance and give some folks something to compare UGA and USC for the rest of the season.

Go Dawgs!!!

[Bryce Crane]

Hope: What we all should have seen last year...USC vs. Georgia.

It's going to be a tough haul with the toughest schedule in the nation, but with UGA VII leading the way...we should do just fine.

Personally I think it's a OU vs USC rematch. Okay, I'm biased, OU '77 and USC '88

I think they should hold off the polls until October.

We've had our issues, 4 times losing in the BCS. It sucks, everybody knows it sucks.

SEC is a meatgrinder all right, it's fun to watch that from the outside, but don't want to see it from the inside (unless it's a tailgate).

If you didn't see OU whup-up on a I-AA team it was a good first half and then they just called running plays up the middle to run out the clock (and not run up the score). Of course the 90 delay at halftime was because of weather, not that the opponent left at headtime and the troopers had to chase them down.

I'm all for Beating UT again this year, thats the first goal.

Missouri in the Big 12, should be a good rematch, hope you bring the Defense from last weekend along.

Here's to hoping all your teams win....UNLESS it's against one of mine.

[Poppa's PTL Club]

Personally, I think USC and Ohio State have the easiest routes to the NC game. That doesn't mean that they'll get there. If the SEC champion has only one loss, that should make them a lock to get in (UF, UGA, LSU, Auburn, whoever), unless either USC or OSU win out the rest of their games after their showdown and somehow a dark horse goes undefeated. Missouri is a team to watch, although I think they'll have a hard time with Oklahoma.

I don't want to beat what the conference presidents have made clear is a dead horse, but I still don't see the argument against a playoff. Everyone says it comes down to money, but think about the frenzy that would build around a rotating series of the BCS bowls incorporated into a playoff with the other bowls staying in place for the other teams. I would have to save vacation days so that I could stay up for these things. In my mind, a sixteen team playoff would be one of the most exciting developments in college sports history. I'm tired of a star chamber deciding who the top two teams in the nation are. You would still have to have a process for choosing the top 16 teams, but it's a lot harder to complain that you had a real shot at winning the NC if you just missed the 16th slot.
