Every team on that list ranked ahead of Notre Dame would beat them.
NO, every team on that list ranked ahead of Notre Dame COULD beat them.
And Notre Dame COULD beat every team on that list.
You really think Georgia would beat ND? Apparently the time you're devoting to being an assistant high school football coach in addition to a career doesn't allow you the time to keep up with college football outside your area the way you did in past seasons. UGA is not the team of past years. They've been surviving this year on a Kansas State schedule, one just as pansy as West Virginia's and VT. The Hokies finally played a decent team and got waxed at home. UGA and WVU haven't seen one yet.
UGA has beaten
Western KY 48-12
SCAR 18-0
UAB 34-0
CU 14-13
MISS 14-9
The Dawgs got a rugged defense, right? 6th in Total Defense.
Is there Defense that good or have the opponents been that lousy?
MISS, 1-4, is ranked
99th in Total Offense, 275 ypg and
111th Scoring O, 12.2 points/game
CU, 0-5, is ranked
109th in Total O, 253 ypg,
114th in Scoring O, 9.8 ppg.
UAB, 2-3, is ranked
106th in Total O, 257 ypg,
108th in Scoring O, 13 ppg.
SCAR, 3-2, is ranked 64th in Total O, 346 ypg,
80th in Scoring OP, 20.8 ppg.
W.KY, 2-2, is ranked 62nd in Total O, 324 ypg, 39th in Scoring O, 24.8
The 13 points CU scored on the Dawgs is the Buffs highest scoring total this season. They even scored 10 points on mighty Div 1 AA, Montana St., 2-3.
Keep in mind Western KY which appears to be the most potent offense the Dawgs have faced is a Div 1
AA school.
So their 62nd ranking is among AA teams not 1 A teams.
UGA's opponents to date are a combined 8-16. But 3 of the wins and 2 of the losses are to Div 1 AA teams. Their opponents in 24 games have 5 wins over Div 1 schools Miss St, FL ATL, ECU, Troy, and MEM.
Yes SCAR played Auburn tough losing by a TD 17-24, and UGA shutout the Cocks 18-0 but the Cocks 3 wins are by a TD over Div 1 AA Wofford 27-20, 15-0 over hapless MS St and a 45-6 romp over Florida Atlantic. South Carolina is the best team UGA's faced and I'd take Navy or Air Force over Sprurrier's boys - in Columbia.
Could Georgia score against ND, sure. Could they score many, NO!
All they could manage against Colorado and MISS was 14 points. The only time they've managed to score more TDs than 2 were against a Div 1 AA school and against UAB.
They'll lose to UTN, UF, AU, and GT and the SEC will proclaim their8-4 season a rousing example of SEC superiority.
Unitl they beat somebody of consequence, like the Vols, they don't deserve to be ranked in the Top 25 much less ahead of ND. Their ranked on reputation and conference block voting.
They aren't THE DAWGS this year, they're lap poodles!
