The day all college football fans had waited for was here...The reveling of the BCS Bowl matchups, most importantly, the title-game matchup.
The Georgia Bulldogs were a team with high hopes after going an impressive 10-2 with key wins over Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, and Alabama in undoubtedly the toughest conference in college football.
The party to the championship was all but over after they heard it was the Sugar Bowl they would be playing in and not the championship game. They played Hawaii and Heisman candidate Colt Brennan and destroyed them 41-10 in which proved these 'Dawgs were for real.
- B/R Ticket Guide
However, no one will ever know if the Bulldogs could have pulled off a championship win because of one loss against SEC rival Tennessee which cost them a spot in the SEC Championship game and ultimately a spot in the National Championship.
Why did the 'Dawgs get robbed? Three letters BCS.
The system once again showed to be unfair and horrible. What could solve this problem, maybe a College Football playoff bracket? This proposed method of playoffs to find a national champion works because it makes every team (in the Top 10) play to show they can win day in and day out and deserve the title of national champion.
Sure it may take longer and get rid of bowl games, but it will make things fair and put butts in the seats.
So, for all the people out there who are as pissed off as I am, something, no anything should be done to possibly solve this problem.

it was south carolina not tennessee that cost them. with that win they would have gotten into the seccg and i think we all know who would have won that one. the robbery was not about not getting in as much as it was about who else got in. 4 to 5 and 7 to 2 in 170 hours?
name the only top 10 college football team in history to go 4-2 in their previous 6 games and who stayed in the top 10? 2007 lsu tigers. smell a rat?

Tennessee cost Georgia as much as South Carolina did because if Georgia beat Tennessee they would have been in the SEC championship game which would have given them a chance to beat LSU and replace them in the nat'l championship

Georgia won the National Championship. I don't care what a bunch of biased assholes from that BCS garbage think. I don't even recognize the BCS. I never have, and never will because IT HAS NEVER WORKED. Common sense says Georgia was #1. I know that and thats all that matters. The whole poll process is as worthless as the judging during the Olympic games for figure skating, etc.

Georgia was correctly placed out of the title game in favour of LSU.
At the end of the SEC Championship game, LSU was the champion of their conference, had a record of 11-2, and had soundly defeated the champion of another BCS conference.
Georgia was 10-2 with their best win was against a 3-loss team that was not their conference champ, which LSU also defeated.
LSU lost twice to teams with winning records that went to bowl games in triple overtime, while Georgia lost to a non-bowl eligible 6-6 team and by 3 touchdowns to Tennessee.
All of the arguments that Georgia was robbed are just nonsense.
Georgia was ranked where they deserved to be ranked.

In 2004, Georiga suffered its second loss on Nov 13th, the penultimate game of the regular season.
They dropped from 8th to 11th in the polls.
Georgia's penalty for a late season loss?
Only one 2-loss team, Florida State, was placed ahead of Georgia.
Behind Georgia with 2 losses was Miami, LSU!!!, Tennessee, VTech, Iowa, Virginia, Boston College, Arizona State, and West Virginia.
I believe that all of these teams suffered their 2nd loss before Georgia's.
I looked at LSU; they had not lost since Oct 22.
Still, Georgia was placed ahead. Since LSU had lost to Georgia head-to-head, so maybe this was fair, but I don't know about the other 2-loss teams.
This year, when LSU suffered a second loss, three 2-loss teams were placed ahead, even though LSU had defeated opponents that out ranked any played by these three teams. LSU was placed behind VTech, even though they had defeated them head-to-head. So I don't see where LSU has received any special treatement - looks the reverse to me.
Georgia was treated fairly this year, and consistent with other seasons where THE ENTIRE SEASON COUNTS!

when i use lsu in examples here you seem to get antagonized. i just pointed out a valid statistical true point and you decided to sidestep it without considering what it means. so i'll use another and leave lsu out of it.
has a team ever gone from 5 to 1 in the polls and never snapped the football. once 2007 ohio state buckeyes.
i agree. in 2004 uga got a fair shake. the lsu win was big at 45-16. i think by holding broussard and addai and hester and vincent to 60 somehting yards combined helped our case. lsu should have been ranked above vt. this year look at what tenneessee did to us and look at the ranking. they were behind us all year. but then alabama killed them as badly they did us. in 2004 lsu and uga were much closer teams than that particular game.

Hey John;
Go back and read my comments on Rusi's "...Art of Leapfrogging" article.
Don't throw in the towel there and try to expel your bullshit in some other forum.

Again, you cannot argue against a teams absolute movement within the polls.
Any well constructed argument must reference that teams RELATIVE position to other teams.
Ohio State, with 1 loss, moved up ahead other 2-loss teams.
Because of a weak schedule, they were behine these teams when they all had only 1 loss.
Tell me, who would you have ranked ahead of Ohio State after the conference championship weekend?
How would you feel if your favoured team, with 1 loss, was ranked behind other 2 loss teams?
