Uga at 5 is a farce


Dec 8, 2019, 3:09 PM

No other way to see that. Oregon should be 5

"The Eye Test" clearly does not apply to UGA.


Dec 8, 2019, 3:14 PM

They have looked somewhere between bad and mediocre much of the year, on their way to beating some over rated teams while getting credit for beating really good teams.

Dont know who shoudd be 5, but UGA should be about 11 or 12.

Until the fan bases of all but the sec start talking loud and publically about the biases and agenda of the rankings, it will never change, and may not change even with the fan bases talking and bit-ching about it!!!

No two loss team from the SEC East should ever be ranked in the Top 10. That’s like a two loss ACC Coastal team being ranked in the Top 10.

If you don't believe there is a bias, Georgia at #5 verifies it. They got blown out yesterday and hardly dropped at all. Clemson wins by 1 point and is penalized for it. We need to go back to computers.

Re: Uga at 5 is a farce


Dec 8, 2019, 10:42 PM

Exactly, we went from #1 to #5 by just playing a close game!!! Also, when we made it back to #3, we never moved again and blowing every team we have played out +30 or more, and the others at 1, 2, and 4 moved up and down, and they kept us locked solid at #3 so that we would have to play who ever ended at #2. It was a set up, and I could never be convince of anything different. We have to beat the #2 and #1 team, and #1 team has to play #4 and us at #3 to win it all. LSU couldn't have it any easier at winning it all by playing #3 and #4, and we couldn't have it any harder to win it all by playing #2 and #1, and it wasn't some freak thing that it's all ended that way, it was set up that way bc they don't want us ever being a back to back 15-0 NC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is quite obvious you are correct. 'They' have tired of us and want to go back to the good old days when SEC, B1G, and PAC 10 ruled supreme. We have turned 'their' world upside down.

Agree with you on UGA being too high, but 3rd is right for us


Dec 9, 2019, 7:24 AM [ in reply to Re: Uga at 5 is a farce ]

considering our schedule. The AP and coaches polls had us at #1, not the CFP. I agree they shouldn't have started us at 5, but in the end, 3rd is right. Just gotta win two games@

No, you started at 5, remember the committee makes has there own rankings and that was based on the current results up to that point.

Absolutely, and a two loss ACC team would be lucky to be in the top 20!!!

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Oregon or Baylor should be 5 IMO


Dec 8, 2019, 3:42 PM

Ugay should be outside of the top 10.

It drives TV revenue plain and simple. SEC teams draw viewers and the higher rated they are the more people tune in

They hoping for two SEC teams to finish in the top 5, just wait and see who they pair UGA up with in a bowl game, it will be a team that Wake could probably beat!!!

To carry on the SEC imaginary hoopla of being the best conference in the world, yes it does!!!

They are the best conference. That said, 5 is meaningless.

Yea, when was the last time the highest ranked 2 loss team


Dec 9, 2019, 7:33 PM [ in reply to Re: Uga at 5 is a farce ]

was NOT from the SEC. It's their birthright! We even had Herbstreit, last year, preaching that two-loss UGA should be in the play-off above one loss OK.

College FB rankings is so crooked and SEC bias, and it's as wrong as two men screwing each other!!!

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I Agree


Dec 8, 2019, 11:08 PM

allorangeallthetime52® Yep! And you hear the argument about conference from people(there are a couple on here who I believe are undercover SEC enthusiast). The problem I have with their argument is: they do include the very best teams in a conference versus the same teams the "rest of the ACC beats up too" when they throw that league record out. That's important because looking at bowl records and such - A. the numbers have to be flawed. B. are we discounting when we win and when FSU use to win versus bottom dwellers from other conferences? Because, that's an unfair way of skewing the number! It's only sell-able to folks who "want that narrative to look bad for the ACC"!
I am a Clemson first guy. Not a ACC guy. But, unlike many others, realize the implications of helping the narrative that all our conference games should be grouped with group of 5 wins! If that happens - we won't get an opportunity! It won't matter how good we are - if some people get their way and get to liberally talk smack about the ACC when it's nowhere near as bad as they say it is.

As good or close to the SEC - No.

But, nobody is trying to do that. The Pac 12 and Big 12 and honestly the Big 10 as well are all dominated by 1 or 2 teams! Oklahoma in the Big 12 and Ohio State in the Big 10. No talk about the rest of the Big 10 being garbage. Why? Or the Big 12? Why? The Pac 12 has Oregon who has made some noise recently or at least in the 1st playoff year! Making it to the championship game then losing to Ohio State. Outside of that - "hot garbage"!

All of that to say - the bias is real and it's really frustrating when you log on to a pro Clemson site and read folks trying to bolster the argument. They apparently want our wins to put us in the same company as a G5 school with that propaganda! Call it like you see it. Keep it real. Yeah right, name the match ups that caused you to get the negative image of the ACC.
Penn State versus a middle of the road Pitt team that honestly should have beaten them in Happy Valley. Really? Or Alabama versus Duke. Really now! Those match ups would go south for any other conference middle of the road teams too right or wrong?

SEC has how many bowl eligible teams? How many does the ACC have? Hmmm! Not a true indicator; but I heard someone respond by going: "yeah, they beat up each other to get winning records"! Hello, Mcfly, every conference does! A layup game followed by a FBS opponent you should be able to beat or a really tough game like Clemson tries to schedule. Then get into conference play! They all do that. It's only highlighted when talking ACC - because if you down the conference - you get to slight the validity of what Clemson is doing!
And that's just wrong!

Re: Uga at 5 is a farce

Never want to point out stupid but: how the hell could UGA be rated higher than Alabama.
Bama looses to LSU by 5, UGA looses to LSU by 30 something
Bama's 2nd loss is to #12 Auburn UGA's other loss Is to South Carolina (at home)

Yet BAMA is 12th UGA is 5th. Can anyone explain that logic?

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Uga at 5 is a farce


Dec 9, 2019, 4:42 AM

Nobody could adequately explain that. It just goes to show how little objective thought is put into the rankings, especially after the CFP is set. I'd say Bama 5th, Oregon 6th, after that I don't care.

Re: Uga at 5 is a farce


Dec 9, 2019, 10:07 AM [ in reply to Re: Uga at 5 is a farce ]

I think that when OU loses, they will kick Bama back up near the top 6, and when the season is over with no more FB to play, they will have 3-4 SEC teams ranked in the top 10, and there goes that SEC wheel spinning the mighty SEC hype once again that there isn't no conference remotely close to the almighty SEC in college FB, and the ESECPN gets richer, and if the ESECPN is richer, they can throw even more money into the SEC to help build the bottom tier of the sec back up to par once again as it was 10-12 years ago!!!!

Re: Uga at 5 is a farce

I am not sure who should be #5, but for sure it should not be UGA.
Mediocre at best all year. SEC bias at it's best.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Baylor proved they are virtually equally to OK, should not


Dec 9, 2019, 7:44 PM

they be fifth, right behind OK? Then put Oregon sixth. UGA should be no higher than seventh. If UGA had not lost to the coots, yet were still blown out by LSU, I guess the committee would have them 4th, ahead of OK! Amazingly stupid!

Ga. gets SEC credit , they are mediocre LSU exposed them. Let this season finish out. And see what the TALKERS have to say. We know what we have . The Best Is Yet To Come!!! ALL IN 4LIFE!!!

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It legitimizes the move of LSU to #1.


Dec 9, 2019, 7:58 AM

The bias and agenda are real, and the season long narrative kept Clemson from playing in Atlanta on 12/28.
