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.

SC has played us pretty close over the last couple of decades -

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

quote:

The UGA-Mizzou series has been relatively balanced.


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?

quote:

But again, that's on paper.


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.

quote:

We've got receivers who can't catch, so again, maybe not as good in reality as they are on paper.



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?

5 total games so far - they have one win, but it was a big one. We have two big wins, and two wins by a total of four points. And in the 4 years we beat them, they went on to the SECG twice, we went once (and their two were more recent than our one). So if they are "awful," we are worse.

Big wins are the outlier in the series. Close games are the norm. This year's game was reversion to the mean.
