So, a close loss to Bama is more impressive than an LSU W?

If you almost beat Bama, you get a top 5 ranking. If you beat them, you get a Heisman. If you beat LSU, you get a top 10 ranking.

The logic is that being a SEC division champ that went to the SEC conference championship vs the #1 team in the nation and losing by a small margin, then winning by two touchdowns the Capital One Bowl with a 12-2 overall record would trump us, which only co-owned the division, but wasn't the division leader due to losing to the one that was so didn't go to (much less win or lose) the ACC Championship, but wins vs a ranked SEC team of LSU by 1 point with a last minute field goal after trailing the entire game to finish 11-2. SO in all, both teams lost to the same opponent (USuCk)...our second loss was to a lower ranked Florida State, theirs was in the Conference Championship vs the National Champion.
Regretfully, makes sense, tbh. Let's just hope Aug 31st, we change that.

Agree with Tigerman. Plus UGA was probably better than LSU last season. It doesn't really matter. UGA, USC, and CU could all be in any order, we are all on the same level and fortunately the polls will be more accurate two weeks into the season after two matchups between the three teams

I believe this ranking is for this years teams, not last years.

Ga had 2 losses, The Gamecocks and the National Champion. Clemson had 2 losses, The Gamecocks and the team that finished 14th.

Yes but UGA brings back very few starters on D

That many question marks normally brings a team's ranking down.

16 if you count ST.
Those numbers give UGA a higher than average total starters returning. Seems the voters are focusing on the whole package and not just one of the units.

Having an offense like they should though also counters that some...same as it does for the view on us. Keep in mind we have just about as many Q's on D (the entire secondary) as they do, yet they put us in the top 10 too.

where narrow last minute wins against vastly inferior opponents are eessentially ignored.

I think it means they won their division, played in their conference championship, got beat by a team that won another nc in a league that has won 7 nc in a row. we did not win our division in a league that is 3-14 in bcs games. our conference last won a nc in 1991. we just need to win the game on the 31 st. at least we are in the top 10, and will move up with a victory. if we don't win then the polls were right.
