The first USA Today Top 25 coaches poll was released today, a poll that unfortunately goes a long way to determining the national champion. So which team was basically handed the pole position for the BCS title game? Georgia, which finished No. 2 in the nation last year after wasting unworthy Hawaii in its bowl game. Georgia very well may be the best team in the nation, but in the SEC, the Bulldogs will lose two or three games. What it all comes down to is who they lose to, when they lose and how many undefeated teams there are. 1. Win 10 games. If Georgia loses three, it may be too much to overcome. 2. The winner between USC and Ohio State must lose. Outisde of this early showdown of titans, both teams have a pretty clear path to go undefeated. If USC is 12-0, Ohio State is 11-1 and Georgia is 10-2, do the voters move the Bulldogs ahead of one of those two teams? 3. Win one of these two games: at LSU (Oct. 25) or vs. Florida (Nov. 1). Georgia can make it to the title game and lose late, but losing back-to-back may knock the Bulldogs too far down to justify putting them back in the mix. |
