Not sure I disagree or agree with you on this one. You can make the point that we didn't earn it because SouCar beat us. but we DID beat Florida. Something SouCar could not do. I would argue that our game with SC was a fluke. They jumped on us and we could never get anything going. I seriously doubt if they were THAT much better than us last season. I mean, isn't that the argument they make in THEIR game with Florida? It was a fluke?

Did we have a MUCH easier schedule last year. No doubt. but we won the games we had to win and they LOST the games they had to win.

You're right. I'm not going to bitch or whine about schedules, but I can acknowledge that they've helped Georgia more the past two seasons than they've helped Alabama. Good LSU teams are nearly unbeatable at home. Could Georgia come off the 35-7 loss and beat LSU in Death Valley last season? Yes, they would have had a chance, but I think it would have been slim. For starters, your rushing defense was an embarrassment (77th in the country). Running the ball was LSU's strength. LSU's defense showed flashes of greatness last year, and I think they could have produced a turnover or two against Georgia. I'll repeat: Death Valley is one of the toughest environments to win in. Last but not least, there's Murray-lead teams' record versus Top 15 opponents.
