Can UGA reach BCS title game?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Is it possible for Georgia to reach the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) title game?
Thursday?s loss by No. 2 Oregon certainly raised the hopes of UGA fans, but a lot of things MUST happen before Georgia can even get close to the top. The Dogs currently rank ninth in the BCS standings with two games remaining - at home against Kentucky and in Atlanta against Georgia Tech.
LSU is currently ranked No. 1 and appears on its way to securing one of the two title game slots. Oregon will likely fall below UGA in next week?s standings and the teams ranked ahead of the Dogs - Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Ohio State and Arizona State - could all lose before the end of the season.
Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma will likely beat each other up just to survive in the Big 12. Ohio State plays Michigan on Saturday and Arizona State still has to play USC.
West Virginia appears to have an easy road, but with the craziness of this season thus far, who can predict anything?
There are two important things that MUST take place, however, for this conversation to be relevant - current SEC East frontrunner Tennessee needs to lose (preferably in the regular season so the Dogs could play in the SEC title game) and the Dogs MUST win against Kentucky and Georgia Tech.
................................................................
UGA is currently #9
2 Oregon lost last night? 8 Arizona State loses to USC tomorrow 7 Ohio State loses at Michigan tomorrow 6 West Virginia loses at #22 Cincinnati tomorrow
Come Sunday, UGA is up to #5.
Now, #3 Oklahoma, #4 Kansas & #5 Missouri still have to play each other in a round-robin? KU & Missouri play next week. The winner plays Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship. In other words, two of the three teams will be eliminated.
UGA #3
If UGA can sneak into the SEC Championship and play #1 LSU, winner will play in the BCS Championship against Big 12 Champion.
It seems simple enough.
