I am an Alabama fan. That is beside the point. Georgia has been robbed today. I think you can lay most of this blame on ESPN. Herbstreit started off with the bogus story Saturday morning about Les Miles. His \"source\" turned out to be a Michigan bigwig who did NOT want Miles and was using ole Herbie. Herbstreit didn't know this and he followed through with the story. This story obviously turned out to be BS. ESPN and Herbstriet then had to save face and possibly try to avoid coming lawsuits(I have heard they are coming). They decided that drumming up support for LSU to be the \"obvious\" choice would be a good way to make up for a bad call. They spent the whole night last night and all day today preaching the praises of LSU. LSU this, LSU that. This was saving face at the expense of Georgia and I think it is unacceptable. I am sorry this happened to you. I would make sure and thank ole Herbie and ESPN when I saw them.

I don't doubt that happened bamafan, but it wasn't the only thing that screwed us. Since VT AND OU AND LSU leaped us in the BCS, it's pretty obvious they didn't want us in the NC game under any circumstances.

The SMART era CONTINUES!!!!!!

When I look at all the polls and think about it, I think it is more than obvious that the prevailing ethic in college football today amongst the media, the coaches, and the fans is that you need to be a conference champion to be able to play in the national championship game. There really weren't any dissenting voices out there. I don't have a problem with this. I was one of the ones complaining when Nebraska and Oklahoma went without winning the Big 12 in their years. However, that needs to be made a formal rule of the system if that's the way they're gonna say it's gotta be.

What I do have a problem with is all the immediate LSU nut-hugging that went on. It's like the media just swings from Les Miles's balls. They basically acted like this was a foregone conclusion, no controversey, no debate, no discussion necessary. \"What, Mizzou and West Virginia both went down? Go ahead and pencil in LSU to take on Ohio State.\" They way the casually tossed aside and dismissed the possibility of Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Georgia, or even Kansas sneaking into the game was just wrong. They should have thought about these scinarios first and not ranked us so high to begin with if they were just going to turn around and drop us.

Robbed...that's putting it lightly, don't you think? It sucks...for the last couple of weeks all we've heard is how no team in the nation wants to play GA right now, so we get stuck playing Hawaii while LSU & Ohio get to battle it out for the NC. That's CRAP!!! They say that they want to give Ohio a chance to redeem themselves, well then why don't they try to play our schedule!!! It's degrading how GA has gotten treated! I still can't figure out how GA got bumped in the BSC when in ALL the other polls they still remain 4th...I guess politics over ride facts!!! At least we all know where we should be and where we belong!

As another BAMA fan..I could not have hoped for a better Sat night!! #1 & #2 BOTH go down, I'm looking for a Ohio St-Georgia NC game. What do I get, that goofy dork from LSU and OS. How many teams get 3 shots at being #1 ?? Georgia would have killed Ohio St. LSU had to have a little luck to beat Al & Au. Good luck guys in the Sugar Bowl. You got a great team and a class coach, maybe you will win them all next year less one ( hey...I am a bama fan)
