An open Letter to UGA.

Dear anyone associated with the University of Georgia:

As i sit here on Monday, Dec. 3rd, the day after the BCS ratings came out, i notice a great deal of antagonism toward the system that crowns the NCAA football bowl subdivision champion.

I listened to coach Mark Richt last night make his case and explan his position on the matter. And actually, as i listened to him, his points were both valid and honest. However, i am a little surprised at the reaction of some of the fans regarding the new polls.

Let's sum up. CMR's most valid point regarding the Bulldog's chances was that GA was ranked 4th while everyone knew they weren't going to have a shot at the SEC title to begin with. If the rationale exists that they were the 4th best team, and they weren't going to play, how does that change over night? I would actually agree with that. But when asked abut whether or not a conference championship should be a requisite for a national title, he agreed with that, but also correctly stated that was not a rule. "we are being penalized by a rule that doesn't exist", a rule he would agree with if it were in existance, but i digress. he does have a point. and this is why i empathize with you, GA fans.

However, in this case, the voters and the polls got it right, even if the rules didn't tell them to. maybe just maybe there are people out there that dont' have to be told what to do? what a novel concept.

LSU jumped GA in the final poll to go to the BCS title game. You cry foul. Understandable, for reasons already stated. but here's a little reminder of why the only people you have to blame is yourselves.

1. Sept. 8th. South Carolina with all the glory of Steve Spurrier marched in to Athens and beat you. This didn't seem to be that bad, as at the time, SC seemed to be the "sexy" pick to possibly win the East, and at one point was a top 10 team. Besides at that point, you still had games against TN and FL, as did SC, so plenty of time to work it out later. What happened though? SC went on to finish from that point 3-6, losing their final 5 games of the season, missing out on the post season all together. ouch, that's gotta hurt.

2. Oct. 6th. ah, the first chance at redemption. after the tough loss to SC and the thrilling OT win at Bama, the road to the SEC E took you to Knoxville. TN was reeling after losing 2 of the 1st 4 games, both in dreadful fashion. The TN defense had given up 104 points in two losses at that point, and had fallen out of the top 25. the coach was all but fired. And this was your game to reclaim what was yours. what happened? you got pasted 35-14, in a game that apparently would be forgotten rather quickly by the rest of the country.

Well, and as it turns out, those would be the only two games you would lose all season, in route to thrilling wins over your 3 biggest rivals FL, AUB, and GT.

Yet amazingly, GA was not allowed to play LSU for the SEC title, which as it turned out looked to be fortunate as you find yourself sitting at #4 knocking on the door.

oh the joy you must have felt as LSU lost to ARK and Pitt beat WVU and OK beat Mizzou!!! drinks all around!!!

but wait, LSU can still win the SEC? we can't? what? wait, that can't be true, i've been hearing for three weeks that GA is the best team in the conf? how unfair this system is.

so not only does the "hottest team" in America not get a shot at it's own conf. title, they're now being shunned from the National Title because of a rule that doesn't exist? A Complete and utter shame. I mean after all, why don't these things get settled on the field where they're supposed to?

oh yeah, that's right..... it was. In Knoxville, on Oct. 6th where you proved not to be as good as the Tennessee Volunteers.

Good day, congratulations on the sugar bowl.

Sincerely,
Volnation.

I hope King has a great tutor, he will have problems making grades. That is why he ended up at a private school in ATL for his senior year in HS, where grades were given to him.

Don't cloud Hat's world with what is actually being discussed. That is not fair.

No, we're the ones taking shots at a team that at least could make some sort of case for inclusion in the big game.

I'm hearing a lot of Georgia fans who are not only upset about being left out of the MNC game, but are also angry because they feel like the Rose Bowl passed them over as well. They're not exactly intrigued by the matchup with Hawaii.

Their disappointment is delicious, that's for sure.

UGA fans need to realize that because LSU is in the title game the Sugar Bowl had first pick from the rest of the SEC. The Rose Bowl never had a chance to take them.

You are correct, I too, love to see them squirm over playing Hawaii.

That puts us in the same boat as South Carolina. What an accomplishment. How could I have overlooked that fact?

the same way the bulk of the national media did over the past 4 weeks.

I am just glad that you did not have to pull his Red Shirt when the RB ranks got thin.
