Saying that UGA is ranked number one in the college football rankings. What the hell are they talking about? It doesn't come out until tonight

if not, they should be #1.....

on paper to date they have the best resume of the undefeated teams.
I'll gain a little more respect for the committee if they DON'T put bama @ #1 just b/c that's what "you're supposed to do".
that being said, they are probably the "#1 team in the country", but resume wise they don't have it YET.

I the three years of the playoff, the team with the initial number 1 ranking has not won. They should hope to be ranked second.

Have you watched a single Georgia game this year? They’re the real deal. Just looked at UGA’s stats. Top-10 in more than a few metrics:
2nd in strength of record (clemson is 4th)
6th in rushing defense (clemson is 18th)
10th in rushing offense (clemson is 25th)
3rd in total defense (clemson is 7th)
3rd in first down defense (clemson is 10th)
5th in 3rd down conversion (clemson is 25th)
Nightmare, for anyone.

Just curious but have they one team that actually throws
Oct 31, 2017, 1:14 PM

the ball AND has an Oline? Missouri does not count. Every team they have played as many in the Sec are very weak in a downfield passing game. JMO. I could be wrong but no one has attacked them. They load the box and dare downfield from what I've seen.

Well Missouri put up 252 passing yards against them and are actually ranked much higher than us in passing efficiency so I’m not sure why that doesn’t count. Auburn is the only team on Georgia’s schedule that has the weapons / talent to beat them before the SEC championship game. Period.

Unfortunately for Auburn, Stidham isn’t even close to being DW4 and they’re only averaging 73 plays per game.
Alabama’s defense isn’t the reason we won the trophy - DW4 and 98 plays did!

Yes , and I agree they appear to be the best at the top right now . However , aside from Notre Dame they haven't beaten another team that scares anyone and it lools lile their rushing game is about all they bring to the table offensively .
Teams with really strong D front 7's should be able to make them one dimensional . I think Auburn will be a good test for them , and certainly if they were to run across Bama or Clemson at some point they could expect a good game .

Agree with you on all points. Fromm has not been forced to throw the ball whatsoever. That 1,2 punch of Chubb / Michel has been more than enough to win games to this point.
Unfortunately for Auburn, their pass defense ranks 25th and run defense ranks 24th. I don’t know if they can completely thwart Georgia’s overwhelming pound-the-ball. Last game, they used 5 backs and ran for 292 yards. Ridiculous.
Outside of us and Bama, It’s going to be tough for anyone to stop their run. Or put up enough points on the other side of the ball. As of late, I’m not sure we would be able to put up 35 on Georgia ourselves.

Least we not leave these out too....
111th in passing offense (Clemson 66th)
64th in TFL (Clemson 6th)
27th in 3rd down defense (Clemson 12th)
87th in penalties (Clemson 51st)
74th in KOR defense (Clemson 45th)
So, Georgia isn't perfect. They've played pretty good but if you can stop the UGA running game, they can be beat.

I agree they are one-dimensional and have argued that fact with my fair share of Georgia fans these past several weeks. I’m just saying, if I did happen to see them at #1 tonight, I wouldn’t be half as surprised as I was seeing Wisconsin at #4 in the AP poll on Sunday afternoon. Lol.

Honestly, they've played Notre Dame and Miss State.

All of there other games are against cellar dwellars so those stats are just a little skewed, much like most of the teams in the country.

They do look great. However, some of those stats are padded by who they've played:
App. State
Samford
Missouri
Miss St.
Tenn.
Vanderbilt
Florida (3-4)
But they did beat ND but only by 1 point.
They're very good no doubt, but the stats can be a little deceiving.

they have a better SOS than 'Bama. I would expect us to be either #3 or #4 using the same logic.

They should be ranked #1 at the moment. They have been very impressive thus far. If I were an opposing coach I would stack the line of scrimmage and make them beat me throwing the football. The young quarterback has been great at managing, but make him throw it more than 5 times!

They have played 1 team with a pulse. One. The rest of that trash schedule would struggle in the Sunbelt conference.

8th in strength of schedule
2nd in strength of record
5th in FPI
It all comes down to Auburn and the SEC championship game for Georgia. I’m not a fan but I can appreciate the love so far. UGA can play ball.

Don't give me those crap numbers.
What do Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Mizzou have in common? They are still 0-fer in conference and are likely to miss a bowl game.
Florida is sub-.500 and may also miss a bowl game this year.
I'm not saying they aren't good and have good talent on the roster, but to proclaim them world beaters because they beat ND and a slightly above average Miss State team is ridiculous.

Calling them crap doesn’t make them less real. You may not agree but they are what they are. And for every argument that you throw Tennessee, Missouri & Vanderbilt at them; they can retort with Kent State, Citadel & Florida State back at us, no?
Notre Dame doesn’t even belong to a conference and isn’t eligible for a conference championship game until 2025, at the earliest. With your rationale, they shouldn’t even show up on Saturdays. Yet and still, they’ll absolutely be in the conversation tonight.
No one is calling them world-beaters, but pretending that it’s absolute absurdity to hand them the #1 ranking in this first CFP poll is foolish.

Clemson fan first & foremost, football fan after. As of today, Georgia & Alabama are the only ones with iron stakes in the CFP. #3-#6 are a total crapshoot. And there’s a lot of football left!
Once we beat NC State, we’re coasting. Notre Dame would easily lose to both Miami and Stanford on the road. Georgia could meet its fate against Auburn on 11/11. Ohio State could lose 3 of the next 4. It’s not even worth arguing this early in November. But pretending Georgia has no business in the discussion tonight is more orange glasses talking than reality.
