I don't like being in the front car on that roller coaster. I much prefer to start in the middle and work my way to front. [SIZE=3][COLOR=red][B]Too much Pressure[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]:yikes:

Book it-Ohio State will be in the big game again this year.  They may very well lose to USC in the beginning of the season, but then they cruise and peck their way toward the top for the rest of the year (but do need to get by Michigan in their finale).

Georgia is a popular pick this year, but road trips to LSU, Auburn and Florida in Jacksonville toward the end of the year make them iffy in my book.

I agree, ESPN runs the show, and 2nd Place St will be there again:bang:

The road may well kill us, don't forget we also travel early to Tempe, AZ and Columbia, SC; Spurrier has a 1 game winning streak against us.  4 weeks straight on the road late in the season against LSU, UF, UK and Auburn.  If we win the East, we'll have to play somebody twice- LSU, Auburn or Bama, and that's always tough to do.  UGA will have earned it if they run this gauntlet.

Compare November for UGA against USC and Ohio State.  The schedule favors those guys.:bang:

The pressure isn't what Georgia needs to worry about.  It's the SEC.  Believe me, they don't feel like they are something special.  Their schedule is brutal.  And regarding Ohio State, the voters ought to, even if Ohio State goes undefeated, say "Sorry, you just don't play enough quality opponents," and let a two or three loss team play in the big game if need be. But please not Ohio St.  At least they play USC this year but as the person says, even if they lose they can still get to the big game.  People need to factor in thier cowardice in scheduling little league teams and set a precedence for everyone by requiring a tough proven schedule.  Regarding Georgia or LSU or Florida etc.  If they lose two games but win the SEC they should go to the big game ahead of even an undefated Ohio state.

Dogs are handling pressure just fine (UGA grads notice spelling of "dogs" - no "a" or "w").

With all the brawls, arrests, and suspensions that have taken place in the past week and a half it doens't look like UGA will even be able to field half a team!

Missouri could very well be in the title hunt at the end of the season--must beat Texas, Kansas and the Sooners first.

:wave:I share an office with a Trojan.  Let's keep an SEC team up there at the top.  I wouldn't mind OSU knocking them out early.

5 top 20 opponents on the schedule, 4 of which are road games.  3 of those games are in the final five contests of the season when the margin of error is slim, and that doesn't count the SEC championship game.  Toughest conference in football.  I'm thinking no...

We're hoping so.
