The Polls : A tale of two.

🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

Week three and a collective freak out has taken hold already.

All hail the King slayers !

Last weeks #6, USC and #2 Alabama both lost ( to Stanford and Ole Miss ).

So #7 Georgia moves up two spaces - right?

No so fast .....

Ole Miss leapfrogged us in both, Notre Dame, after having some trouble with Georgia Tech does in one. The Gorilla in the room still being Baylor who is way way over rated and represented in these polls. In November the Baylor Bears have their only real games this year with three top 25 teams in a row , if they clear Oklahoma and Oklahoma somebody is not coming back from the woodshed Thanksgiving weekend as they play TCU. The Horned Toads in the exact same boat .

If nothing changes in the coming weeks and it should not with all the cupcakes on both schedules the Nov 21 game between #1 and #2 Ohio State and Michigan State will be the most hyped in a  long long time.. thing is that late in the season, if both are unrated there will be some real discussion on keeping the one loss team above any close by undefeated . 

You can tell that Crimson Tide fatigue is effecting folks if they dropped that far that fast from a self inflicted loss to the #4 team in the country. RTR plays Winder Barrow this week, before heading on down highway 29 into Sanford Stadium the following Saturday. In what will be the biggest UGA game in a while. Just this morning picked as the SEC on CBS game - 3:30 kick off . Alabama faces LSU in Tuscaloosa on Nov 7.

This is not the BCS era, those days are gone - the polls do not matter as much as they used to. All that matters is being in that top 4 post championship games. Meaning the Bulldawgs get Ole Miss or LSU if we beat Bama in two weeks. 

Georgia is in their own drivers seat - but can not break the top 4 with out a little help from someone.
