🏈 What if it had been WVU instead of MO to the SEC?

UGA would have 2 losses, SC would have one, and #1 would be at #3 this week.

You think WVU would have been at #1 over Bama and Oregon? That is, assuming WVU would have beaten both teams. I'm not so sure they could beat UofSC. UGA, once again, has proven itself over-rated.

I think they were saying #1 would be playing @ #3.......maybe

WVU is 104th in the nation in scoring defense. They have yet to play a team with a real defense, gave up 45 to Texas and 63 to
Baylor - shoot they even gave up 34 to Marshall and 21 to Maryland who held them to 31.

I really doubt that WVU would be doing any where near as well in the SEC. I think even UGA would have beaten them despite the USCe game.

WVU, if in the SEC, would have at least three losses at the end of the regular season.

Ah, I think you're right! Thx.

IF all things were the same, except we're switching the two teams, UGA would have opened at WVU with all those suspensions in the secondary.

True - and this is all a big IF - but I would say that opening weekend, even lowly Marshall put up 545 yards on WVU including over 400 in the air, and over 130 on the ground. Marshall even had a higher TOP. Like I said, it's all a big IF, but I like to think that UGA could probably score more than Marshall (more than 34) - Georgia is the 13th highest scoring offense in the nation - and probably hold WVU at least as well as Maryland did (31 points). But we'll never know.

Valid point.

I hate using the word faith and Georgia in the same sentence but here goes; I have no faith in Georgia that makes me think they could have gotten it done.

Anytime hypotheticals about UGA come up I immediately think, "here's a team that's won two of its last 17 games against teams that finished the season ranked." And that's leaving out the point Murray has yet to beat a team ranked in the top 20.

I hear ya. Some of my SEC pride coming out again...
