Georgia (Texas is another, also Florida State) is a good example of the yo-yo-ing (new word) top twenty five this season.


The SC-Conn game was entertaining, simply because we were watching the cream of the crop on both sides......what is frustrating is when I feel like watching a game, any teams, and the only game on TV is UCONN-Memphis, or UCONN-SMU or whatever paltry conference teams are thrown to the lions, I mean dogs.

Now that we don't have to face them and they are out of our league (this can be taken as a double meaning) I may not root for them (unless they play certain teams with certain coaches,) but enjoy watching the display of excellence.

And sorry to disappoint some of you, but Geno has been off my dislike list and on my like list for more than a season.

Georgia started 12-0, with a win over Ohio State, but is 5-7 since then. They've been on a pretty steady slide down. The good news for the Bulldogs is that they have 4 winnable games in the 5 remaining in the regular season (although one of those is @LSU, which at this point may be a tough one for the Lady Bulldogs). Even if they win only 3 of those, I'd think they have a decent shot at the NCAAs, since they'd end up 8-8 in the SEC.
