The UGA fans will be crying for awhile over this. They haven't been preseason #1 ever I don't think

LSU stings, but the expectations weren't nearly as high

I agree. We weren't predicted to win a thing, and we did not. So really you could say Auburn and Georgia had a more disappointing season than us.

Georgia, no doubt. They went from preseason #1 and everyone's pick to play for a national title to a 3 loss regular season and not even winning their division. They had everybody returning from last year with the possible top QB and RB in the NFL draft. HUGE letdown.

UGA and its not close. We have 2 BCS titles and have not responded a BCS champs should. UGA hasn't won a title since 82' and was in the perfect spot to do so, at least contend for 1. The fact that they have won a lot of games with no title to show has to be frustrating. Hell, they even loss to Ga Tech for the 1st time in 8 yrs!


On a side note, how in the hell could we not beat UGA when Tech just ran ALL OVER THEM?

My bad, 80', they won back in 80'. It hurts when you have a NC season go bad because hostly there aren't that many of those.

Y'all are homers!

UGA is going to a NYD bowl in Florida and we're likely going to a mid-tier. UGA lost to arguably the two best teams in the country and were edged by a tricky GA Tech.

We lost 5 games! How many of you thought that would occur? UGA was supposed to lose 2 anyway because of that schedule.

LSU BY FAR had a more disappointing season. Y'all will type anything to make this season look better than what it truly was. Qb problem or not, this team underachieved.

Shockingly would be UGA. For all the above reasons.

LSU just is a sour in my stomach and I really and honestly expected this, but not UGA.

Regardless of which had the more disappinting season, truth is the amount paid the LSU coaching staff for underperforming is overwhelming and the University, students, players, alumni and fans have every right to feel cheated.

Most people thought LSU would lose at least 3 games this year due to QB play. LSU was ranked high, but not number 1. If UGA had only lost to Bama and Florida and not gotten CRUSHED by them and then beat Georgia Tech, then it would have been a very respectable season for them.

LSU's biggest dissapointment is that I thought our D would be about the same as last year...

I'd say LSU. Georgia was #1 at some point, and they'll finish ranked.

LSU was #2 at some point, and then they tanked.

LSU had a way more disappointing season. The margin for perfection is very small. Sure GA was preseason #1 but they didnt lose 5 games. We lost bad this year. Just got thumped. Teams moved the ball at will against us. We nearly lost to TROY and we did lose to Arkansas. Enough said. If we would have won yesterday I maybe would feel differently. Im a huge LSU fan but at least GA probably makes it to a NYD Bowl. We'll be lucky to make it to any bowl.

That being said, I think we go up from here. We need some changes though.

Without a doubt Georgia.

Spurrier used to say it perfectly when he was at Florida. The goal each year was to win the SEC. Do that and the season is a success, too many other variables for the national title.

Everything else including the non-BCS bowls is irrelevant for the powerhouse schools. Georgia as the preseason #1 should've at least won their division, but got overwhelemd and out coached against Bama and Florida.

I'm still utterly disappointed in the Tigers, especially with the lack of improvement by any of our top talents.

I'd have to say LSU. FIVE losses following a national championship is a disaster of a season. Georgia only has one more loss than last year.

UGA. The players they had at skill positions- no reason they should have been killed by FLA and lost today to GA Tech.

I would have to say Georgia.

LSU has been bitterly disappointing to watch though, so I would say we can agree with either way. I am most disappointed in the lack of leadership and lack of intensity. We were lackluster in nearly every game except the end of the Troy game.

Really hard to swallow the Florida and Georgia losses because they were a drubbing.

But, I take small comfort in the fact that we should have a good recruiting class and we HAVE to get rid of the defensive coordinators.
