re: Are UGA, LSU, and Bama the only SEC schools to win a real natty in football?

Seriously? So Georgia offers a great scholarship to allure top students to the university. Top students then attend the university. This is the “appearance” of having competitive students? Incorrect - that is the fact of competitive students attending UGA.

Aubarn is viewed as a redneck school everywhere, even in Alabama. I don’t think anyone outside of the South even knows that it exists (except for football fans, who’ve likely forgotten that it exists as well).

frick the BCS

The CFP is certainly a much better way to crown a Champ than the BCS system.

HOWEVER the BCS was a MILLION times better than leaving it up to the Sports Writers for the AP or some other sports entity to name a Mythical National Champion or Co-Champions (Happened way more often than fans probably realized).

Most people don’t realize or remember what a complete clusterfuk it was prior to the BCS system.

Umm, do you know how teams are picked for the playoff?

They are voted in. There is still no "automatic" way to get in (like in every other college and pro sports playoff/tournament).

GEAUX TIGERS!!

That was a UGA posters son…. I was accepted by my top 3 Stony Brook, GaTech and Winthrop. I went to GC because of a scholarship that worked with HOPE. Free education at a college with better standards than UGA at the time sorta close to home.

---

So you didn’t even attend Tennessee? You went to an even WORSE school with a 90% acceptance rate? GC is, obviously, also located in GA. What’s your excuse now? Your loathing for UGA is now patently clear - you were one of the rejects! Lovely.

And please don’t pretend that being accepted into Winthrop and Stony Brook (LOL - that’s where all the waiters in the Hamptons go) is an accomplishment. If you truly were admitted to GT but attended GC instead, your real-world decision making is as poor as your academic achievement.

All the way from Milledgeville to the farm. A life well lived, what a gentleman.

Things Well beyond his comprehension

Dude (like you) is seeing a causation that does not correlate to his assumptions. For instance the Ga public schools use a 10 point grading scale: 90-100 A, 80-89 B, 70-79 C. Tennessee public schools use a more stringent scale (already posted) and UGA does a full letter grade bump for anything above the minimum whereas UT uses a sliding scale of 2-5 points for hobos, CLEP, DE, AP classes. So a comparison of UGA entering freshman is artificially inflated vs UT entering freshman. And the fact that Tennessee as a state established 60 universities to meet its higher education requirements while Georgia established 20 something. Add in that Georgia has 3,000,000 more residents and you can easily (Gid I hope it’s easy enough for that Georgia education to follow) that more people, fewer options and inflated grades on a more forgiving scale does not make this an linear instance. IE it’s not apples to apples in it’s comparison.

Interesting. Now let’s apply that elsewhere:

Bennett had an excellent 176 passer rating last year.

That doesn’t correlate to your assumptions.

USC was named national champs by the AP poll in 2003. They have the trophy in their trophy case. The national media largely refers to them as the champs.

Now you're just making shite up. When is the last time someone in the media didn't include Saban's 2003 NC at LSU when they talk about how many he has won? They always give his 2003 team its due. He's got seven now.

176 rating but 4 to 1 td to Int and a sub 65% completion and under 225 yards a game would make that rating very suspect.

---

Just to be clear, you think it is very suspect because Uga killed clock in the 2nd half, which reduced his yards per game?

But that wasn’t the norm. Killing the clock should have increased the completion rate if nothing else (safe short high percentage passes mixed with the run) or in the case of the other fallacy, another QB should have decent second half stats. Neither case is evident. Look at the box scores. Bennett played the whole game once he took over, and had comparable states in both halves.
