The State of the Dawgs

Losses always sting in College Football. They hurt because they mean death. One loss can end a season and all of the hope and vainglory that comes with the budding of a season in the South.

Georgia lost its fifth game of the season, when we were the number 3 team in the land, we got dragged around the football field, our own field, like a JV team. Sure, we fought back in the second half, but we came up short. Many say that if Georgia wins out they will be in the national championship game, but I beg to differ. The polls are against us now, as is the BCS system as a whole. Voters have a long-running love affair with Southern Cal, and that team ain't losin' another game, get my drift? Texas will likely lose at least one this year because that Big 12 is so deep, but if they don't, there's your championship game. Why am I counting out Alabama? Because for UGA to run the table, we have to beat them in the SEC championship game. Bama will be there, I guarantee it.

Whatever the case, if UGA were to somehow get their act together and start playing disciplined, smart, efficient football like they are supposed to be capable of, then their talent should be enough to get through that brutal schedule. I realize that we have to play the recently exposed Tigers and the all-of-a-sudden-great Gators, but these games are supposed to be winable when you are the caliber that UGA is said to be. Play like you're supposed to be there boys and you will be there in the end.

Until then, Georgia loses 3 more games.
