Looking at 11/21, not many ranked vs ranked other than places they have already been. If we beat Arkansas, and w Miamis loss, its probably gonna be #1 UGA in Columbia for #15 South Carolina and GameDay likely picks us.

Upset UGA, and fellas, that momentum carries us to top 12.

Watching Georgia.............if they're on, I don't see how we can beat 'em. They were off against Auburn. We'll have to have that. Most of the time, top ranked teams aren't off when they play on the road. Except us playing at Navy in '84. Damnit.

The one advantage we have is that we can play pretty loose. If we do beat Arkansas, we are theoretically playing for a CFP spot, but we would still be a longshot. Georgia, on the other hand, will have a lot on the line in the game. It’s not much of an edge, but it’s about all we will have.

Let's just see what can happen. You'll never beat the #1 team in the country if you don't play them. I won't wring my hands about having to play an excellent Georgia team. Instead, I'll think about what an opportunity we have. We could be playing the #10 or #20 team that week to try to build a cfp-quality resume, but we're probably going to het the #1 team in the country! It's epic!

We usually fall flat in big games when Game Day comes to town. I do not see how we can beat UGA on our best day. With Sellers hobbled it will be really bad for us.

There is only 2 hopes:

1. Auburn did it
2. History shows we always play UGA tough, and they have laid some turds in Willy B over the years especially at night

Hey, do you think they were off due to Auburn finding a crack in the Armor, or Stockton off his game?

Truth be told, I watched 0 seconds of the game. Just watch the highlights & read the reactions. I thing UGa underestimated their opponent that day. If we're riding a 5 game winning streak & gameday is in town, UGa won't underestimate us.

UGA shot themselves in the foot in that game. 3 turnovers that killed likely scorinmight g drives.

That loss might been the worst thing that could have happened to the rest of their schedule. I can promise you, they won't be overlooking anyone from here on out. Those who point to them struggling at WB are remembering the Richt years. Since Kirby showed up, they have thumped us pretty good in WB.

Correct. Smart has brought teams to W-B in 16, 18, 20, & 22. None of those games were even competitive. Blown out every time. We've played them closer in Athens, with 1 fluke win in 19.

Sometimes, UGA looks better on the road than at home. It is almost like they are more focused and business like on the road. At home, they sometimes look like they are too relaxed. I think that is how we won in '19. Kirby said before that game that the team was not ready to play.

Stockton was hurt on a run the 1st play of the game. Outside of the turnovers he played ok. Georgia won every statistic except -3 turnovers and on the scoreboard. -3 turnover margin loses you a game almost 90% of the time. On top of that they did play down after the big Alabama win the week before.

It's because they take the team bus so they don't have their own cars on the road.

I could not agree more. I can recall sitting through a lot more ugly, sluggish type home games with them than I do where both or even one of them played really well. I never go in to this game feeling like I know what's going to happen... other than it being not pretty for either team nine out of ten times.

Willy B will be a madhouse. Imagine a surprise appearance by Garcia to lead the Game! Cocks! leading into 2001. 🔥

It was a madhouse in '22, when we were sure Sandstorm, the wild crowd and the heat in Columbia were going to overwhelm UGA.

They beat us like a rented govt. mule.
