re: Will Mark Richt ever get Georgia a National Title

LSU as a whole had the better team, played more quality opponents and had both of its losses come in triple OT. That said, UGA was playing much better football late in the season and was even ranked ahead of LSU in the polls prior to the SECCG (UGA was #4; LSU was #7).

No question Georgia was playing very well by season's end. But.....Polls can be a major joke as they also had Virginia Tech ranked ahead of LSU in the poll prior to the SEC title game. LSU and VT had identical records and LSU beat Virginia Tech 48-7 earlier that season.

When it came time to pick the two most deserving teams for the NC game, the poll voters finally used their collective brains and put ranked the teams on what they accomplished during the season as a whole. LSU's resume was far better than UGA's.
