I want you all to know I have a tradition of buying any teams hat that beats bama and wearing it for a week straight. Words cannot express the hatred I have for them.

That said if it comes down to Penn State or bama I don’t know what I’ll do. Cheering for PSU to win the natty is morally repugnant, I honestly can’t decide if I can swallow it.

OSU has to lose two of their last four for PSU to even win their division much less play for the natty. PSU's playoff hopes are more or less dead.

CFP rankings are totally redone each week. PSU will likely remain high all year due to their only loss being by 2 points to a potential PO team but that doesn't change anything that I said and if you think the committee is putting a team into the CFP that didn't win their own division much less their conference you are high.

But I'm telling you the rankings you see now are irrelevant. They only exist to give ESPN something to talk about, that's not a joke. PSU can jump them all they want, if OSU drops another game they won't make the CFP regardless but they will still win their B10 division unless they drop two. Then the only chance the B10 will have is an undefeated Wisconsin.

Totally whiffed on that. I even thought for a second about what you could be meaning, too.

I think this year is strong enough to prevent that fuckery from happening, though. ND seemingly on their way and the potential of a 1 loss B12 champ hanging in the rafters should prevent last year from repeating.

Just looking through Wikipedia Mark Richt appears to have been 4 - 7 in games where Georgia and their opponent are both ranked in the Top 10 which doesn't seem that great.

That's definitely not never winning big games and by definition those are going to be the hardest games to win. Teams are usually ranked in the top 10 because they're, ya know, hard to beat.

Miami is playing VT on the road is why I did that. The home breakdown over this time isn’t much different. Hence the 14-23 inclusion.

The games that ultimately lost Richt his job were neither home nor away games, but annual (aside from a three year streak from '11 to '13 and two more in '04 and '07) losses to Florida.

The '15 blowout at Home against Bama didn't really help either.

My bad, I thought it was in VA. But as I mentioned above: it doesn’t change much. Maybe the change of scenery will be good for the guy, but more often then not over the back half of his time in Athens I would have expected us to not win a game like this.

I just glanced at the schedules again, and he actually did better at home than I gave him credit for. I also forgot he had Auburn's number most years, which made for some great home games. Because, really, gently caress Auburn.

Here's the home breakdown:

2010 (This was his worst year at UGA, ended up with a loss against UCF in a bowl game)
#12 Arkansas L

2011
#12 South Carolina L
#20 Auburn W

2012
None

2013
#6 South Carolina W
#6 LSU W
#25 Missouri L

2014
#16 Clemson W
#9 Auburn W
#16 Georgia Tech L

2015
#13 Alabama L

Overall record 5-4. So over .500. I'm sure pre-2010 is better than this for him, so yeah, I didn't give him enough credit against ranked teams at home, and I guess he won the majority of those games in Athens over his tenure. I didn't include Florida games in any of this, but I think he was 5-10 in those games, and Florida was ranked in most all of those games. Also bowls/SECCG not included. Some of these years had rough endings (e.g., 2011, won the East, destroyed by LSU in Atlanta, and lost to Nebraska in the bowl game. 2013 was similarly rough. Wonder if a few drives over the 2011-2013 span in a few games go differently if he's still in Athens. Well, that and not hiring Brian S.)

Oh, for sure. All things considered, outside of never winning a title, through as many years as he coached at UGA, he was just as good as Vince Dooley.

I also don't really blame him for the Brian S hire, because it seems that was more of a top-down choice made for him. Greg McGarity is kinda a poo poo.

That Dooley title was pretty lucky anyway, both in that a freshman came out of nowhere to have one of the best seasons of all time and the SEC was pretty awful that year. I think Notre Dame in the bowl game was the only game they played against a team that finished in the final AP poll. He didn't have to play against anything like Saban-era Alabama or Meyer-era Florida like Richt did
