Corso Comment

[Tnvolfan68]

Question 3: Coach, can you say (with a straight face) that Georgia should be ranked five spots ahead of Tennessee? They have the same record and UT beat the Dawgs head to head IN Athens. I just don't understand the logic there. I know that Tennessee got beat (bad) by a very good Auburn team, so I guess the voters could be looking at the margin of loss. Your thoughts?

It seems that many realize this... I remember two weeks ago on the ESPN Power 16, it had us a spot behind UGA and the comment was "We know this looks funny having Georgia above the Vols. We're still looking for the hanging chads."

These guys have bought into their own hype, or don't want to admit they were wrong. Either way, Corso is right for once... NO WAY UGA should be above TN, and NO ONE is doing anything about it!

They freaked when Miami was in front of OU in the first BCS, but try and hide the much larger travesty of having UGA above TN in the polls!

If Georgia can beat Auburn, they will stay ahead. But what do you suppose the odds are that would have happened? Auburn is establishing themselves as a dominant team this season.

Anyways, things should work out in time.

I'm sure these coaches below appreciate Corso's endorsement to the fans to call them.

Will see were there at after AUBURN. If they keep playing this strong,They could go ALL the way. The Polls are never fare

 

[Austin]

Watching Corso is too much like watching presidential election coverage for me.

 

[afanalso]

The loss to Auburn is hurting us more than it should

 

[Memphis_Volunteer]

There is no reason in the world for Georgia to be ranked above us. We may have lost big, but we lost to a team that has the potential to take the national championship this year.

 

[GIVEHIM-6]

Corso gives me the willies. :unsure:

 

[OrangeCrush18]

The BCS will rip off the unbeatens but I think it'll be fair to us, in the end. We win out and everything will be fine.

Probably a simple mistake, but an interesting play on words. . . . :question:

fare (noun)
2. The price of passage or going
3. Ado; bustle; business
5. Food; provisions for the table; entertainment
Webster's Dictionary

As a necessary fee for being a competitive football program and the fuss that is made every year at this time as we consume them, seems to me that the Polls actually seem to be quite "fare."

As for UGA-Aub look for the home team to flame out on this one. Seems to be the norm between those 2
