Well, for what it's worth I'm not confident that we win...I think we have the speed advantage and we're bigger up front but Baccari Fudge will still be blowing coverages all day and we're one OL injury away from having to rotate the long snapper in at tackle.

Why are they called Boise State? There's no state called "Boise" that I know of...

Unfortunately, I think GA gets "out-prepared" and drops this game to BSU. I hope I'm wrong.

If this were any other big-time SEC program, I'd be confident. Georgia just isn't in a good place right now to be competing against a Boise State team that loves to think of themselves as the underdog. Now they get to face a huge program going through difficult times? Not ideal.

That said, I look forward to Aaron Murray comparing favorably to Kellen Moore. I've always liked UGA, and would love to see them pull a Sugar Bowl vs. Hawaii performance.

So you would feel confident about Tennessee beating Boise but not us?

Things are not as bad as people on this board would like to believe. We have the talent and the "Will" to win this year. There is no reason why we will not beat BSU and contend for the SECEC

They think their schedule is tougher than UGA's. Their reasoning: UNLV and Tulsa went to bowls last year.


When you say "they", of course you mean both Phil Steele and NCAA formula. You know, the measure that SEC fans put so much faith in each time they use it to explain why BSU is still among the unwashed.

PS - I'm really looking forward to seeing SEC fans now explain why the SOS measure isn't reliable.

They truly don't get it. They think Kentucky, State, Ole Miss, and Vandy would non AQ if conferences were to be made today. I don't think they realize 3 out of those 4 schools have done way more impressive things than they have in the last 5 years. Not to mention in the entire history of said schools.


Oh, I am so looking forward to reading the details behind this claim.

UGA didn't get a good team out of the West.

There's really not much to it. We've beaten much more impressive teams. So have State and Ole Miss.

eta: As far as overall history: BSU would KILL to have the history of any of those 4 schools.

I wish boise fans would realize how ridiculous they sound most of the time. Boise is only successful because of the weak schedule and lucky draws in bowl games....I hope Georgia channels whatever god they prayed to when they played hawaii a couple of years back.


So Boise fans sound ridiculous because they don't realize they are only win because they get lucky?



Ok, honest question. You guys don't honestly believe this stuff . . . .I mean, do you?

Y'all don't win because you get lucky. You win because you don't play anyone good. And when you do, you lose.

I think you have the best coach in college football.

Can we agree that if he wasn't an unbelievable judge of talent, and didn't possess an amazing ability to coach his players above their talent level, your entire program would grind to a standstill?

When your coach leaves, Boise is done. Even if Georgia loses, they will always play between the hedges, they will always have Uga, they will always be relevant.

Boise State is a fad. A passing fad. And I can't wait for it to be over, so I don't have to watch any more shitty BCS bowls with Non-AQ jokes.

Nice job ignoring the formula.

Better stick w/ the emotional arguments - they are easier to manipulate.

I had no idea what the "formula" was so I decided to take a gander. I stopped reading when I saw that these were the top 4 programs:

Clemson
Baylor
Kansas
Washington

Busey: [Takes hard swig of SEC kool-aid] There's really not much to it. We've beaten much more impressive teams. So have State and Ole Miss.

[Takes another hard swig and wipes off mouth on shirt sleeve]

Hate to break it to you, but BSU fans are not out envying your school's history.
