That's a bit of a stretch - Georgia is a mid-level SEC team at best. Not exactly a solid indicator at this point in the season.


Mediocre SEC team. It would help if you had anything resembling competent English reading and comprehension skills.

Is 7-1 in a conference "mid level at best" or "mediocre"?

I said then:

Georgia's a top 25 team and a legit contender in the SEC.

SEC Eastern Division is much weaker than the West this year. Georgia Bulldogs are number 4 in the conference at BEST.
They eeked out wins against Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Florida and lost to South Carolina. They didn't have to play the 3 best in Arkansas, LSU or 'Bama. Their rivalry against Auburn is one of the oldest in the Nation, so anything can and always happens there.

Strange how this wasn't mentioned, but calling them mediocre in the SEC seems pretty accurate to me.

It would.

They are playing in the SEC Championship game, have won 9 straight and are 7-1 in the conference. I've never heard an SEC team with such a record being described as "mediocre" before. They were at 14th in the BCS rankings last week, will probably move up a couple of notches this week and quite possibly will break into the Top Ten if they win at Georgia Tech. And they still have a shot at a BCS bid.

Yeah, "mediocre".

It's no use discussing this with you. You just ignored everything I said. Others have said you omit facts if they refute what you say.... I didn't notice as much before but it's as plain as day. BCS standings? LOL

You are quite a funny character 😉

I agree Georgia is anything but mediocre. It would likely kick Pac12 butt with its eyes closed. Oregon is mediocre. Oklahoma St is mediocre. Boise St is mediocre. Baylor would probably beat almost anyone. OU is medicore. Upset bug contagious this weekend! We'll see what BCS says tomorrow!

YOU are mediocre. How many times has Baylor lost already this season??
They have lost 3 times to Kansas State, the powerful Texas Aggies and the
"mediocre" Oklahoma State.

Guess they really couldn't beat "anybody", now could they?

LSU- Alabama-Arkansas 1-2-3. Every other team? "Mediocre at best" according to the "experts" here.

People will scream but:

Numbers 2, 4, 5 and 7 in the BCS rankings all lost. #3 already lost to #1, #6 was blown out by #3 and #8 and #9 have embarrassing defeats on their resume. Plus there are still a number of possible upsets out there and most of these teams have tough games remaining. It's possible either Arkansas or Georgia will knock off #1 LSU (if Arkansas wins, do they go to the SEC Championship? In that case we could have the ultimate absurdity of a BCS Championship Game between two teams who couldn't even win their division!)

Why not an undefeated Houston in the BCS Championship game? There's no clear deserving one loss team. And Houston would be a fun team to watch unlike the threat of another LSU-Alabama snoozer.

There is no reason to encourage teams to not play tough schedules. Take teams like LSU (even if they were to lose) with one loss and tough out of conference schedules -- not team who play no one and just run up the score.

Georgia did not play the top 3 teams in the SEC (LSU, Arkansas and Alabama). They lost to the next best SEC team on their schedule South Carolina. There are a lot of teams in the country who would have significantly better records if we let them have bye vs. the top three teams in their conference and excused the loss against the toughest team on their schedule.

That's utter guesswork on your part. The fact remains that they won their division and will play in the SEC Championship Game. Auburn was ranked #20 in the nation and had a win over South Carolina when they rolled into Athens and suffered a 45-7 beat down.

If they win that, will the "experts" here still say the Bulldogs are "mediocre"?
