The UGA fans are already all over the mizzou boards and othet SEC boards talking trash for this game.
Both teams (one being the east favorite; one being in the same position as us in essentially a dark horse that could finish with anywhere from 7 to 9 wins) know that it's a huge game for each - in all likelihood determining how their seasons will go and at least predicted to be a tough game*
(there's also some likelihood it's one of the espn night games)
I can agree with some issue about it being at 5, but if you want to try to call the writer out as being a "hack" or something on anything here, it should probably be for having Arkansas-A&M at 8. (or possibly one out of USCe-UF at 9 or LSU-UF at 10)
