Beating up on an injury decimated Georgia offense that wasn't all that great to begin with proves nothing about LSU's defense. Georgia's defense was legit though. Still LSU hasn't changed my opinion one bit that they are not a complete team. They still jump us though and then lose to the Ohio State-Clemson winner.

Well that and the SEC has an 8-game conference slate & makes it very easy for UGA to duck almost all of the West powers, and get an inflated ranking. It is natural for the East champ this year to get a bit overrated when they don't face LSU or Bama before the championship game. UGA doesn't really get tested against the best of the best in the SEC regular season anymore. Where would Wisconsin have been ranked if they didn't have to play OSU twice? It seems unfair to reward a conference for their best teams playing less often, but that is where we are with UGA. I honestly think Wisconsin is a better team than UGA.

If the Rose Bowl takes the diseased culture that is the pedsters, then Wiscy may get a chance to prove they're better than UGA in a NY6 bowl game.

No need to take away from that win for LSU last night. They finally played a game on offense and defense against a good team the way we have been playing all fucking year. One game. Vs an entire season minus one half against a rematch.

There's nothing they have over us except BuT tHeY pLaY iN tHe SeC.

I'll save @BigWoof31 the trouble - UGA plays Auburn every year. It's the oldest rivalry in the Deep South.

They have a national title, a second championship game appearance, and 4 wins against Bama in the last 10 years.
They have been in the SEC title game 4 times since 2000. They are not bad, they just aren't the best in their division and it was a break for UGA to play them instead of Bama or LSU this regular season. I think UGA does get an "SEC bounce" of artificially high rankings based on their record and LSU and Bama being really good, without having to play them in the regular season and really have to prove it against the best of the best of the SEC.

Agreed. UGA being the top 1-loss team when the loss was to a 4-8 South Carolina team was annoying.
