Yea, dunno why we are doing this again. It's not defeatist or chicken littleing to suggest if we play the way we played against Florida, A&M, LSU or Auburn that this will be a close football game.
My hope is the Georgia game kind of propelled us past that and we'll see 2 straight complete games from our guys, but I thought maybe we'd done that after Ole Miss and State, too.

Agreed. To act as if there is no way this game can be close is delusional considering how half of our games went this season, especially considering the "yummy rat poison" isn't there this time.

Yeah, the SECG performance was such a great surprise because we all knew that we had the pieces there all season long…they just hadn’t come together. Now was that a sign of things to come or just a perfect storm fueled by anti-rat poison? Leading up to the UGA game, there were people saying the team finally found itself in the second half of the Auburn game and that is the spring board for the the postseason where we now get three weeks of valuable prep for a lot of young guys.
You could also say that the only games we’ve played well in all year were games where people were doubting us (Ole Miss, MSU, UGA) and didn’t do so well when the target was on our back. Now we’re back to being #1 with the reigning Heisman winner and the favorite to win. It isn’t crazy to think we could revert back to form against a really inspired team that knows how to win and is playing with house money.
Everything tells me we should win this game comfortably but I also wouldn’t be shocked if this one of our toughest semi-finals either. I also have been horrible with predictions this year so WTF do I know….

To me the pass defense of UC is solid, but I am drooling to get ahold of that 45th ranked rush defense. They are very small on defense and I think the 3-3-5 hey run will get smashed. Once that happens they have to cheat the safeties up and then pop goes 1. Also their offense is extremely run dependent and that matches up very good for us. They will have to try a lot of misdirection plays to move the ball. I think their defense will be gassed early in the third.
