JabbaNoBargain No. 2 Share Posted November 13 Best way to get rid of bias is to have the SEC not win it all for a few years in a row. Still won’t change the fact that they have a huge recruiting edge in their footprint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana is 10-0, but their strength of schedule is No.100, the Hoosiers are in the Playoffs, Texas, who lost to Georgia is No.53 in SOS, and are in the Playoff's. Georgia is 7-2 but are No.1 in SoS. They're currently on the bubble. If it's the Committee's job to get "the Best Teams", it has to look farther than the win-loss record. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming that GA dropped so much bc Ole Miss put the beat down on us. Our o-line looked abysmal and really the whole offense has looked suspect to say the least. Saturday will tell the tale. GA is still GA, with tons of talent, but we look very vulnerable right now. If we get the o-line fixed GA is likely the most dangerous team in the country, but if not, I doubt we make the Playoff. Beck needs time or he is a turnover machine, and teams are keying on all the quick screens, and our receivers lead the sec maybe the nation in drops. There is much to improve on and time will tell. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
