They were flat. Those kids played out of their minds and way over their heads all season long. They weren't supposed to be undefeated most of the year. They were one game away from the BCS and they lose. Not only do they lose the chance to play for the title, they lose the conference title and that undefeated record and their mojo. How were they supposed to get up for the sugar bowl and play Utah after that?

It wasnt about the spread. They played Florida a month earlier and defended the King of the spread just fine. They were just flat. That happens every year. Didnt the great Urban Meyer and Tim Tebow get the crap kicked out of them by Michigan in a meaningless bowl game a few years back?

This kid is such an idiot. He deserves to sit in jail for a year to think about how much of an idiot he is.

The point wasnt to knock tebow or meyer. It was to point out that a lot of times what happens in bowl games is meaningless. Teams, especially teams that had a chance for bigger and better things, often come out flat. The underdog treats the game like its their chance for respect and notoriety and the next thing you know you have a surprise. Saying that the result of last year's sugar bowl is an indication of Saban getting outsmarted is silly.

uga 2 yrs ago were in the talk for going to the bcs game , they were playing the best football in the sec in early dec , they were ranked ahead of LSU after LSU lost to Arkansas in late nov .... tenn beat them on a 3 way tie-breaker and got to go to the sec game against lsu

lsu beat tenn (ranked down in the top 20), west va lost and usc lost and now the same voters who had uga ahead of lsu the week before now leapfrogged lsu over tenn. mark richt campaigned to no avail....you don't think those kids at UGA felt let down by the polls , computers , etc etc ....lsu beat a tenn team that was good early and bad late , explain to me why the uga kids came out and buried hawaii ???? the polls , computers took it away from them .....bigger and better things .....they got the same conso prize as bama and went to the sugar bowl too
