The polls don't disprove the theory - which was that Georgia is an overrated team - they are the basis of it. If Georgia wasn't highly ranked, it would be hard to call them OVERrated.

The theory is that Georgia, while a good team, is a team that benefited in 2002 from facing several programs which weren't up to their usual standards for various reasons, such as Florida, Tennessee, and Florida State. All three of those programs were feathers in Georgia's cap last year, which contributed greatly to their final #3 ranking, and all 3 of those programs are examples of teams that were consistently dominant in the late 90's but fell off in 2002. That's an indisputable fact. Whether you think it means that Georgia was given undue credit for their accomplishments in 2002 is a matter of opinion. I do.

You got me, I' ll sell my tee-shirt from the game and burn the program. We are such losers. Come on LSU may beat us by 20 or more but we were pretty good last year and I think we'll be better next year(don't we all)

I don't think Georgia is overrated. I believe they are a top-5 team. I just think that LSU is underrated. LSU also is a top-5 team, I believe.

Last year means nothing. 1998 means absolutely nothing.

I really think LSU should be rank ahead of us. I think next year is our year not now. But and only but if we win Saturday I still say we meet in Atlanta come cold weather/

Before someone else bothers to, let me go ahead and say that I realize Georgia lost to Florida last year.

Any SEC team that goes 13-1 better be in the top 3. The better question may be: Why wasn't a 13-1 SEC team number 2 at the end of the season?

Because both Miami and Ohio State were undefeated.

Pessimists always seem to find a reason to skew their view of reality.

Actually, Miami had a loss at the END of the season but the NCG participants should usually end up 1-2.

This is crazy talk....first off Georgia is not overrated. They are an extremly tough team as we will find out this weekend. Look at the polls from last year and tell me who was going to beat them besides Ohio State. And furthermore I think Georgia would have beat Ohio State. Do I think we are going to win this game...yes of course...but to sit hear and say Georgia is overrated is crazy. They lost 1 game in the SEC last year....I dont care who was here and who was in the NFL....they lost ONE freakin game in the toughest conf. in football. Lets give the guys credit. They are the SEC champs!!!!

Oh yeah......they are TIGER BAIT this weekend!!!!!
Geaux Tigers!!!!
