UGA?s Rambo: ?I feel like we?re more talented (than Alabama)?

5:16 pm November 25, 2012, by AJC Sports
One of UGA?s veteran defenders has provided some of the first bulletin board material of the week in advance of Saturday?s SEC Championship showdown between the Bulldogs and Alabama.


UGA safety Bacarri Rambo went on ESPN radio after Saturday?s blowout win over Georgia Tech and said some words that will surely get the attention of Nick Saban:
?I feel like we?re more talented (than Alabama). We have better players at each position, across the board, especially on defense. It?s going to be a great challenge for us. I know it?s going to be a battle. It?s going to come down to who has the best defense and who makes more turnovers. It?s going to be a battle of the defenses.?

Some interesting stats and info of note prior to the game.
I'll be posting from a Dawgs perspective most of the week. Mostly a Mishmash of topics and stats of note.

@radiespn If #UGA wins Saturday, Mark Richt will make at least half a million dollars. $200K for SEC win, $300K for going to BCS title game,]

For a long time, the refrain among SEC folks was ?there are no off weeks in the SEC.? If no team emerged with a perfect record, that was simply a testament to the depth of the conference. But this year has to go down as one of the most predictable seasons in the history of the SEC ? or any other conference. There are six excellent teams representing the First Class of the conference: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Texas A&M, LSU, and South Carolina.
There are four genuinely terrible teams: Auburn, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas are the cellar dwellers, or Lower Class members. That leaves a lean, two-tiered middle class. Vanderbilt stands alone as an upper-middle class member, with the three M schools of the conference (Mississippi, Missouri, and Mississippi State) are lower-middle class schools. As it turned out, there are caste systems with more mobility than the SEC had in 2012. With 14 teams playing 8 conference games each, that leaves 56 conference games for the SEC. Here is what happened:
  • The First Class (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Texas A&M, LSU, and South Carolina) went 30-0 in games against the rest of the conference, with 21 of those wins coming by at least 14 points.
  • The Upper Middle Class (Vanderbilt) was equally predictable, going 0-3 against the First Class and 5-0 against everyone else.
  • The Lower Middle Class (MSU, Mississippi and Missouri) went 0-12 against the First Class, with 9 losses coming by at least 19 points. They also went 0-2 against the Upper Middle Class, but finished 8-0 against the Lower Class, with 6 of those wins coming by double digits.
  • The Bottom Class (Auburn, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas) finished 0-26 against the rest of the conference, with 18 of those losses coming by double digits.
@ESPNChing
Interesting note I uncovered in writing the Grantham-Saban story. Georgia has held its last five opponents to their season low in scoring.


Finally - if coming into the game as a "hot" team or with a "hot" QB means anything. Aaron Murray is in a good spot. In his last 4 games, he leads the nation in passing - admittedly against shithouse teams.

Alabama didn't belong in the BCS title game last year - winning it didn't "prove" anything, because the point is they didn't deserve the opportunity. We'll never know if one of the other teams - who didn't get to play LSU once, much less twice - could've also won that game. So fuck them, and fuck Saban.

Gawja is the lesser of two evils at this point. Go Dawgs.

Agreed.
I like listening to Paul Finebaum on my way home from work, but only after Alabama loses.
I don't like to root for the meteor - I think too many innocent people will be hurt. But let's keep that available in case Georgia can't hold their end of the deal.

Simple. I don't want ND to win in the NCG. I think 'Bama offers the best option to defeat ND. So I'll root for 'Bama. I hate 'Bama, but I have reconciled with the fact that 'Bama matches up better than Georgia to defeat ND.
