A supplement to the Georgia synopsis, here are a few more unedited notes from the stream of consciousness...
- One of the more annoying and ridiculous complaints I saw in the fallout of the 2007 college football season was the notion that the Rose Bowl somehow prevented the world from a USC-UGA matchup. Anyone that knows shit about how BCS bowl participants are selected knows that there was simply no chance whatsoever for those two teams to meet in any bowl.
The Rose Bowl, having lost top-ranked Ohio State to the national title game likely had first selection and wisely went with the hometown team, Southern Cal. The Trojans it should be noted were available because they crapped down their leg against 41-point underdog Stanford and also lost to Oregon. That's a different discussion for a different time though.
As I understand it, the Rose Bowl would then have to wait until all the other non-title-game BCS bowls selected a team before they picked USC's opponent. The next to make a selection would be the Sugar Bowl, since they too had lost their conference champion to the national title game.
Raise your hand if you think the Sugar Bowl would pass on a strong SEC team to participate in their bowl game so that said team could go face USC in the Rose Bowl?
If you raised your hand you should now lower it rapidly into your groin area because you deserve the punishment.
So for the last time, there was no way on earth that USC and UGA were going to face each other in a bowl game. If that's really what everyone wanted to see, maybe they should have cheered louder when those two teams were losing to South Carolina, Tennessee, STANFORD, and Oregon.
- A great quote from the venerable University of Georgia President, Michael Adams during his summit with the Premier of Pundits, James Carville. "I have good friends (there), I have two degrees from Ohio State, I love Ohio State," he said. "But this is not a way to serve the country.""
Ugh.
Serve the country? Seriously Mike? That's the verbiage you're going to use?

Shall I point out that we are in time of war? Whether or not you agree with the referenced military action is immaterial. People literally die in defense of the United States every day. You're going to sit there and talk about how best to "serve the country" within the context of a college football discussion?
Of course, his comments are lifted out of the larger conversation so I will not come down too hard. It is sad that someone in Mike Adam's position within our educational system would even consider a college football playoff somehow "serving the country". A little perspective is in order Mike, you colossal shithead.

- On a related note, someone told me that UGA President Michael Adams is a descendant of the ancient order of the Druids.
- Here's a fun fact. University of Georgia Grand Prytanis Michael Adams voted against a playoff plan proposed by University of Florida president Bernard Machen LAST YEAR. The UGA Grand Wizard defended his apparent flip-flop by stating that the BCS has produced "bad matchups" most of the time, and "this year was the tipping point".

Oh that's funny Miguel, you didn't seem to need a playoff last year when your team wasn't all that good?
Further comment from Georgia's highest paid hypocrite, "The Rose Bowl is certainly within their rights. It's a great event, a great tradition," he said. "But I think the Cotton Bowl or the Chik-fil-A -- assuming the other three bowls went along and the Rose Bowl didn't -- I think we could find a fourth bowl to come in and do what I've suggested."
So basically what Don Quixote is saying is that if the Rose Bowl doesn't want to acquiesce to the SEC, they'll find some other shitty little bowl game that will. That brings us to another point that we will discuss further in the future.

What the SEC doesn't realize and understand, is that it NEEDS the other conferences to legitimize its own dominance in college football. Despite what these half-wits believe, no one wants to see Georgia vs. LSU in the title game. No one wants to see Florida vs. Auburn in the title game. Sure, there will be plenty of TV's tuned into that game in the southeast. The SEC grossly overestimates its draw around the rest of the country.
- It is obvious that the SEC is not satisfied with one participant in the title game. It’s not even satisfied with winning the national title game. The SEC demands validation of its greatness by having BOTH participants in the final contest. Of course, the only way that’s going to happen is through a playoff.
- Georgia was down 28-0 to West Virginia in their home state two years ago before rallying to make the Sugar Bowl tight. They didn’t finish the job.
