And if we did not have Nicholls, South Carolina and Missouri to look at that would be a good explanation . . . So why are they playing us close or beating us?


None of the three beat us this year. SC has played us pretty close over the last couple of decades - big wins by either team are kind of an outlier. The UGA-Mizzou series has been relatively balanced. They beat us badly once, we beat them badly twice, and the other two games have been decided by a grand total of four points.

but we have a LOT more talent than those teams.


But again, that's on paper. We've got two supposedly talented quarterbacks (Lambert and Ramsey) who haven't delivered, so maybe they're not really as good as they were listed. We've got receivers who can't catch, so again, maybe not as good in reality as they are on paper.

Correct. Do you think we played them up to our potential, though? I mean......Richt got roundly criticized for playing Georgia Southern close and they went to a bowl game last year.

But they are awful, right now. We beat them by 40 points or something last year. Do you think they got that much better?

I'm pretty sure it hasn't. (I could be wrong...) They've only beaten us once, haven't they? And they are another awful team. Which one was it.....Missouri or South Carolina got beat by kentucky, this year?

We can't argue that the ratings are pretty accurate at predicting success, and then dismiss them when we have a lot of talent and aren't playing well.

They actually seem to be doing better. At least today.

Can you name one other team that has recruited as well as us and have done as poorly? can we really be so unlucky that all of our top recruits were overrated?
