UGA's 2023 schedule - B2B2B is on!

[ericd7633]

Don't try to tell me how the SEC works. I've lived it all my life. You are pointing out an outlier, especially for the SECW. Trust me, one SEC loss almost always eliminates you from contention because in the east you have to historically play UGA, UF or UTjr. In the SECW you have to play Bama or LSU. So typically, one loss to one of the other teams means you are screwed.

Forever the UGA v. UF, or UGA v. UTjr, or UTJr v. UF, or LSU v. Bama game have almost always decided the division champs.

There's been other times a two loss SEC team has made the SECCG. Florida in 2016 and 2020. South Carolina in 2010. LSU and Tenn both made it with 2 losses in 2007. UGA in 2005. UGA in 2003. Arkansas in 2002. LSU in 2001. Auburn in 2000. Obviously, more of them happened earlier this century, but I don't think last year was outlier. Will it being going forward because Bama and UGA seem to have separated, I'd say yes to that.

If it’s not him, the other options are former 5 star Brock Vandagriff and high 4 star Gunner Stockton

Where y'all even FINDING guys with these names? Those aren't football players, they're Upper Class Twit of the Year candidates

Brock is from a small private school in Athens. Gunner is from the land of Deliverance in Rabun County up where GA corners up with both Carolinas

At least UGA fans aren't trying to hype up any of their shitty OOC teams.

I've seen Michigan fans legit trying to claim East Carolina is a "tough game"

East Carolina will be breaking in a brand new QB in game 1 (Their 2 1000 yard WRs and 1000 yard RB are gone as well) @ Michigan. VERY TOUGH! Indeed.

 

[Hatcher3333]

outlier? teams in the SEC championship with at least 1 conference loss every year is not an outlier.
2022 LSU with 2 losses
2021 Alabama and UGA both with a loss
2020 Florida 2 losses
2019 UGA 1 loss
2018 UGA 1 loss
2017 Auburn 1 loss UGA 1 loss
2016 Florida 2 losses
2015 Alabama 1 loss Florida 1 loss
2014 Alabama 1 loss and Missouri 1 loss
2013 Auburn 1 loss missouri 1 loss
2012 Alabama 1 loss UGA 1 loss

UGA was undefeated going into tSEC Champ vs Bama

UGA was undefeated going into tSEC Champ vs Bama

i assume you mean in 21. you right i read it fast
that doesnt change the fact that at least 1 team every year has at least 1 loss.

 

[Wishbone]

Who was the Alabama receiver that did not play vs Georgia last year? I caught the tail end of talk radio but they said Georgia was that guy plus a Marvin Harrison Jr away from no titles. Kind of crazy.

Ah, hell no, we are typically loud and proud of our OOC. So I will be loud and embarrassed when it sucks. This sucks.

Remember, I am all for the divisionless 3-6-6 format which makes schedules way more difficult and more fun for fans. Games like these suck ...

I am not making my point very well. Yes, a team can get in with a loss, but that loss can’t be to UF or UTjr. Bama can’t lose to LSU. UF can’t lose to UTjr or UGA. It’s a tie breaker problem within your division.

If we lose to UF/UTjr we are toast because they now have to lose 2 SEC games for us to advance. If you lose a game, it can’t be against the better teams who won’t lose another. There is also an issue of losing a game in the West, but not the east. That affects the tie breaker. In the years above where Bama lost a game, they lost to Ole Miss, not LSU. If they lose to LSU they would have been shit out of luck. Lose to any of the better teams, you are shit out of luck unless they lose 2 other SEC games. Look at who those losses were to and you will see that most often they got upset by a team that had other SEC losses, but beat their main competition in their deviation giving them the tie breaker.

2022 - LSU lost to a non-SEC team, and losses to UTjr and ATM. Bama had 2 losses, but LSU beat Bama, tie breaker to LSU.
2021 - UGA was undefeated. Bama lost to ATM but all SECW teams had multiple losses.
2020 - UF had only 1 loss in the regular season, but they beat us and lost to LSU, so they went over us.]
2019 - UGA lost to USCjr, but beat UTjr and UF and won the east.
2018 - UGA lost to Alabama but beat UTjr and UF and won the east.
2017 - Auburn had a loss, but beat Bama. We lost to Auburn but beat all the teams in the SECE. This is a great example of who you lose to being important.

Typically, the losses one has are to the better teams. If you lose to a USCjr, you better beat all the other better teams in your division, and hope USCjr loses 2 games, which is likely.

Funny how they never talk about our iunjuries. Or that we purposely rotate players at WR and RB so when they get injured we have backups. OSU and Bama have oodles of 5* replacements. If they aren’t ready to be the next man up, that’s on them, not UGA.

The big issue that I see with Tennessee is two major road games:

@ Florida - Sure Florida is not very good right now but Tennessee has always struggled with Florida every since Spurrier became coach there. This is never an easy win for Tennessee because of the mental block

@ Alabama - I have very low confidence that we win this game.

We also have to travel to Missouri the week before we play Georgia. Missouri will be one of those mediocre but up and coming teams in 2023 kind of like South Carolina was this year. You could beat them by 4-5 TDs or you could really struggle with them. You won't know. We also got the back to back road games against Alabama and Kentucky. Here is Tennessee's schedule:

Virginia - Neutral Site
Austin Peay
@ Florida
UTSA
South Carolina
Texas A&M
Bye
@ Alabama
@ Kentucky
UConn
@ Missouri
Georgia
Vanderbilt

We have several important games before Tennessee gets to Georgia. Tennessee could be very beat up emotionally and physically before we get to Georgia. Georgia is NOT going to overlook Tennessee because talent-wise, we might be the closest team to Georgia on their schedule (keep in mind I said closest, not equal).

I do think Heupel is a good coach. Optimistically, I think Tennessee could be 9-1 going into Georgia game. However, 7-3 could happen as well.

 

[OlyDuck]

So back to my original point

at the same time games that seem like they shouldnt be a problem had close results this past season. Missouri 26-22 and Kentucky 16-6
I think even if someone catches them sleeping losing 1 upset prob wont hurt

[WhosYourDawggy]

So back to my original point

It won't be a problem assuming we beat UF and UTjr. Lose one of those games and we are likely out. UTjr more than UF ... UF, I have a feeling, is in for a bad year. A really bad year. You hate to see it.

Possibly.

There is high confidence that Georgia is unbeaten going into that matchup but the odds of Tennessee beating unbeaten are very low. I have low confidence in Tennessee winning in Tuscaloosa with everything that went down this year. If we win that game, it will really start the message that Alabama's dynasty is over (probably more so than Tennessee is improving). That is already one loss. If we drop a second game, Tennessee could beat Georgia but still not make Atlanta.

Overall, Georgia is in a pretty good spot to be back in Atlanta again.

Like Vanderbilt, it’s just another home away from home for UGA fans. Might start changing now that the fanbase is getting spoiled though. But all 3 of Tech’s wins against UGA this century have came in Athens. Tech hasn’t beaten UGA in Atlanta since 1999

Tech won @ UGA in 1998 too. That was my one and only GT-UGA game to see in person. 21-19 Jackets IIRC. Really nice day in Athens, GA for a neutral. I wore a blue and white oxford striped shirt, so many Bulldog fans thought I was a Techster. Had fun with it. Good thing I didn't wear a pocket protector!

Forever the UGA v. UF, or UGA v. UTjr, or UTJr v. UF, or LSU v. Bama game have almost always decided the division champs.

Auburn has as much of a say in the West as Tennessee does in the East annually since expansion. Those teams were divided that way on purpose. 3 Historical Powers in the East (Tennessee, Georgia and Florida) and 3 Historical Powers in the West (Alabama, LSU and Auburn).

Those 6 teams have won every SEC Championship since the 1992 Expansion. Even before expansion, those 6 were the only teams to win the SEC (on the field) since Ole Miss won in in 1963-* Those 6 teams have also all won at least one National Championship in the BCS (1998-2013) and / or CFP Era (2014-Present)

If Alabama loses to either Auburn or LSU, it almost always kills their West chances, but if they lose to one of the others like they have to Ole Miss, Arkansas or Texas A&M, they can overcome that. Same for Georgia in the East. Losing to Florida or Tennessee is usually more deadly than losing to Kentucky, Vanderbilit or South Carolina.

Just my onion.

*-Kentucky won a Retro Co-Championship in 1976 after a forfeit by Miss. State after the season.

ECU is technically in the southeast though and they ARE a BIG school up there in Michigan so.. Their fear has merit.
