re: Legit national title contenders. 4 or 5 legit from the sec.

The rationale is that all week leading to AU game, USCe players will have to hear about how they don't beat AU. All week leading to UF, they will have to hear about how they don't win in the Swamp. It can affect a team mentally is my argument. Not that what happened when Spurrier played QB for UF will physically matter. Rather, how many times in one season can they "get up" to bunk a historical trend that the talking heads jam down their throat?

If you disagree with the mental effect, then fine. That's your opinion and I'm not going to call you a dumbass or stupid or dense for having it. But UGA fans lived it against UF in 2002, 2003, and 2005 when we had the better teams but couldn't get over the Cocktail Party mental hump.
