quote:Nah. If Georgia Tech wins, they'll have the same record, and Georgia will have had a much tougher schedule (and that's not even counting home-field advantage, which would make Georgia's schedule even tougher).
Georgia tech should certainly be ranked higher than Georgia if they win head to head. Though the polls have shown a tremendous pro-SEC bias throughout the season.

IMO the SEC needs to go at least 3-1 to have any argument of being better than the ACC, Big-10 or PAC-10.
OK, I used to just think you were overly biased, but somewhat educated. Now I'm convinced that you are a total loon. You are challenging Seminole for most delusional poster on this board.

I think once you factor that Georgia got it's arse kicked by the only 2 real good teams they played then certainly GT would deserve to be ranked higher.
Also generally speaking if 2 teams have the same record and one team goes on the road and beats the other team then they should be ranked higher.

Others have said the same bullshite on and I have proved them wrong. Go check the Rant I bumped a thread from early October that was titled could "OU beat LSU". I said that OU would win by double digits, people said the same nonsense that you are saying. That is just one of many, many examples.

Georgia has a better team than Georgia Tech, regardless of whether or not Georgia loses tomorrow. If Georgia Tech wins, that's 1/12 of the season that favors Georgia Tech.

UGA's only 2 losses are to 2 of the top 4 currently ranked teams in the country.. and in the AP the #1 and #2 teams in the ncaa..

Tech will beat Georgia for sure.

Beating Georgia, Miami, and Florida St. is far better than Georgia's best wins.
If you are so obsessed with quality losses over quality wins, then you should have USC ranked higher than Florida since losing @Oregon St. is WAAAAAAAAAAAy better than losing at home to Ole Miss.

Blown out in both though, and they do not have any quality wins to balance out those losses.

Vandy is bad, make no mistake about that. They lost at home to the worst team in the ACC
