We will not be #1, and we will get stuck with the more difficult seeding in the playoffs. Even if we beat UGA.

It’s clear that the talking heads value huge margins of victory against subpar teams over big margins of victory offer subpar teams who still score a lot of points. And I expect the committee to follow suit.

This is why margin of victory matters, and has always mattered. And this is why it’s not ok to give up 600 yds to a team that won’t go bowling.

To be fair, the opposing teams are getting many more chances on offense to score than in the past.

We can’t be outscored. Some of you seem to keep forgetting that

If we win out I don't see any way we won't be #1. That would be 5 top 10 wins (or 4 if you take Texas out) and 2 top 5 wins. No one else even remotely has that resume. If they didn't have us as #1 teams would see there is zero reason to schedule any decent OOC games as winning big is more important than beating quality opponents.

Except the teams they play recruit in the lower 100s. Every team we play is a top 50 recruiter except Vandy.

So we've gone from freaking out about bama, to freaking out about seeding. I guess we are just gonna freak out about anything we can.

and by we I mean penguinNinja and rantards of similar caliber

To be fair, if we give up 30 plus to Arkansas and don’t win by 28 or more...we don’t deserve the #1 seed.

Why don't you post their schedules and our schedule and then see if you can figure out why your statement is fricking stupid.

It' defense.
I suck at spelling but this one bothers me. I hate the Your/you're petty bullshite on here but if you are going to criticize our D, learn how to spell the word first.

Send the defence back to Canada. It's Grey Cup week.
