2007-2008 NCAA Football

[Cluey]

Whoa. It's one thing to fear an item of clothing, but quite another to fear a nut. I fear bad clothing choices, but never a nut. Sorry!

Personally, I'd love to see WVU and Mizzou lose, so that UGA would have a shot to play OSU for the national championship. Last time we played OSU was in the former Citrus Bowl at the end of the 1992 season and I'm pretty sure that game is the reason that Kirk Herbstreit hates the Dawgs.

There are rumors, though, that if one of the top teams drops, UGA might go to the Rose Bowl gainst USC, which would be awesome, too. We haven't been there since we beat UCLA there for the national championship in 1942.

If not the Rose, the other strong possibility is the Fiesta against the Big XII champion. At first, there were a bunch of rumors about the Orange, but that seems to be fading away. UGA played VaTech last year, so it's a little soon for a rematch. We also played BC not too long ago, so our AD is out campaigning for other bowls on our behalf.

The good news is that everything has to shake out soon, so we'll know for sure soon! Go Dawgs, Go Pitt and Boomer Sooner!

OMG! I'd love to have that rivalry with TonyB06 for a few weeks. I feel tears of happiness forming in my tear ducts at the giddy idea.

It's hilarious that my coworker is a USC fan, and he's damn near orgasmic at the prospect of UGA facing USC in the Rose Bowl. I'm just proud of those damn good Dawgs, and the haters make us stronger.

I'm not putting too much faith in them, but I'll cheer for Pitt, too. I still hate West Virginia.

Whoa, slow down there Dawg fans...I'm excited that you'll get to go to a major bowl, but a shot at the National Championship? Tell me the last National Champ who didn't even win (or play in) their Conference Championship?

Nebraska in 2001, perhaps?

Yes, it would have been ideal for us to win the SEC, but that wasn't in the cards for us this year. Perhaps we should leave the SEC, so we can play in an easier conference, where we are guaranteed a conference championship every year, so we can play for the national championship?

Nah, to be the best, you have to play the best, week in and week out. Plus, I'd miss all of the rivalry fun!

A thousand times YESSSS!!! I love SEC Football.

Thanks for the answer. I just started appreciating NCAA football about 3 years ago, so I wouldn't have had a clue.

The answer? As in "Nebraska in 2001?" Nebraska was not the National Champion in '01.

Oops! Sorry, I thought you meant played in the national championship, since you mentioned that UGA had no business even thinking of playing in the game since they won't have won the SEC Championship. It has happened in the past and given our topsy-turvy college football world this year, nothing should shock anyone anymore.

I think the last non-conference champion who won at least a share of the national championship was UT in 1950. I could be wrong, as I am not a UT fanatic. If you know, please enlighten me!

Not all of the SEC play fluff OOC games. That's one thing UGA has been working on the last few years. Last year, UGA played Boise State and Colorado. This year, UGA beat OK State and Troy. Next year, we pick up Arizona State University. Of course, we always play GA Tech every year, too.
