Posted Tuesday January 08, 2008, About: '50-50' chance for playoff system

There was one other article with a college president comment. The president of Ohio State said you would have to pry a playoff from his cold dead fingers. More conferences are getting onboard with the playoff idea, including the ACC (finally). The two major conferences that are holding it up are the PAC-10 and Big-10. I'm not sure what their reasons are. And by the way, the UGA president in the article said he believes it has a 50-50 shot. It does have a majority of conferences support, but since it needs the support of ALL the conferences he is referring to a 50-50 shot of convincing those spineless hold-outs. (spineless referring to the individuals, not the conference, players, or fans)

Posted Tuesday January 08, 2008, About: NCAA's hottest recruiting school

Georgia is a consistently good team. They haven't won a NC recently even with good recruits. In the past, coaching was an issue. Now the coaching is more solid, but sometimes in the BCS you need a little luck to help get you to a NC game. There was a 12-1 Georgia team in 2002. That record would have put them in the NC game this year. This year a 2 loss SEC team won the NC. Georgia was a 2 loss SEC team and didn't get to play. Not arguing that they should have, that's a moot point, but consistently finishing in or around the top 10 can be more difficult and more impressive objectively than having a great 2 or 3 year run like some teams and then fall out of the picture. If we keep getting good recruits and our coaching stays strong, it's only a matter of time before the Bulldogs will get the chance to show they are a Champion.
