Scout.com: Cavalcade of Whimsy - Can Wolfe hit 3,000?

4. Georgia is way, way, way overrated
Georgia being ranked tenth in the AP poll and ninth in the Coaches Poll basically lets you know that the pollsters aren’t watching as much college football as you

And like most of the other top receiver prospects, they can all go off to the NFL to become busts …It’s generally being acknowledged the Georgia Tech’s Calvin Johnson is the one to beat, but Tennessee’s Robert Meachem has been every bit as productive and even more dangerous.

But wait, Buckeye fans, before you finish off that angry, somewhat paranoid e-mail, and before I respond that I don’t hate Ohio State and remind you that I picked your Buckeyes to beat Miami in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl … Ohio State deserves to be the number one team in the country. The 24-7 drubbing of Texas in Austin was the best win all year, and wins over Penn State and at Iowa were stronger for the résumé than many top teams can claim. So why do I have that 2002 Miami, 2005 USC feeling that the team is going to be hyped and hyped and hyped to a ridiculous level, be double-digit favorites in the BCS championship game, and then get tagged? Three letters … S. E. C.

Isn’t it just possible that Texas is just way above-average, Iowa is mediocre, and Penn State is really mediocre? It’s not Ohio State’s fault if those three teams are no big whoop, but none of them appear to be LSU, Auburn or Florida. Cal is playing like one of the five best teams in America, and it got its doors blown off by Tennessee. I’m not saying the Buckeyes aren’t fantastic, and I have them ranked number one, but would I bet the house and the farm on them on a neutral field over the top SEC teams? Not sure.

More good stuff in the article, but those really stood out. :dance2:

on a side note, 4 of the 5 Staff pick UT over UGa and to cover the spread. :whistling:

Considering the spread is only 2.5 points atm, I think that's fairly realistic. What's up in the air is which UGa team shows up on their home turf. They haven't looked stellar the last couple of games, so I'm sure that played into it somewhat.

Saturday needs to hurry, getting antsy here!

I can't wait to watch UT beat UGA on ESPN! I believe we'll get them by 14!:)

Too bad we weren't the underdogs vs Memphis. We could have beat them by 65 pts if the kids were motivated.

5-6 a year ago gives these young men all the motivation they need this year. Let's just hope Meach wants to get his degree...

Amen! Thats what I have been thinking about lately. But, I really this his relationship with Trooper is so big that he stays for his senior season. Plus Jarrett and C. Johnson will be coming out and be ahead of him on the draft board. He could be the #1 WR on the draft board after his senior season.

Too early to say for Meach but if I were an agent trying to convince guys to declare for the draft I'd keep the Prothro inury replay close at hand.
