I'm honestly not sure what you're arguing. UGA certainly doesn't have the 3rd best resume in the league. Mizzou, Tennessee, Ark and LSU all have better resumes along with UF and UK. Vandy/UGA is a toss up in terms of body of work.

The only other way to base this ranking is off how they're playing now. UGA certainly isn't third if that's the case either. We saw UGA play one mediocre at best team this week and they were beaten down.

I don't put much stock in to wins over the MS and South Carolinas of the world. Obviously they all count the same in the SEC standings, but not sure why you would put much stock in to them in a power ranking like this. A win over Incarnate World carries more weight than a win over Mississippi State.

Uh, Georgia actually played another mediocre team at their place this week and beat THEM down.

Oh wait, that's right. You've only seen them play four times and are basing your entire argument on that. So, based on how you rate teams, Georgia only played once this week and was beaten down. Got it.

My bad. Carry on.

But .... Tennessee, LSU, Arkansas, and .... well, everybody else plays these same teams. And Georgia has a better record playing these teams than ... Tennessee, LSU, Arkansas, Missouri, and everyone else in the conference except Florida and Kentucky.

So do you only apply your arguments to Georgia or does every team in the conference get the same scrutiny? If so, you's gots to admit - Georgia is third best.

Sorry.

P.S. We've also beaten Missouri, LSU, Arkansas, Alabama, etc., so I apologize if we've also beaten Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina and other teams that hurt our strength of schedule.

P.S.S. And I can't help but notice that Tennessee has lost to Texas A&M. Twice. How is that even possible?
