Georgia Bulldogs Ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in Blogosphere Polls

PrintThe polls---well, the consequential ones, at any rate---are out and the news is mixed. Let’s start with the bad news.
There was (relatively) little love for the ‘Dawgs in this week’s BlogPoll, where No. 2 Georgia garnered just ten of 75 first-place votes and trailed No. 1 Southern California by an undeservedly large margin. The Trojans occupied the top spot on 44 ballots, presumably because they looked so good while idle, particularly in light of Virginia’s less than stellar performance on Saturday. I get why everyone is going to rank U.S.C. No. 1 next week; I don’t get it this week.
Also among those receiving first-place votes are No. 3 Oklahoma (9), No. 4 Florida (8), No. 6 Ohio State, and No. 10 East Carolina (3). Strangely, No. 7 Louisiana State did not receive the same boost Southern California received from an open date, perhaps because U.S.C.’s bye week was planned and L.S.U.’s was inadvertent. Yeah, I just don’t get that.
The good news, however, is that the latest S.E.C. Power Poll has the Bulldogs back on top with 18 first-place votes to the second-ranked Gators’ five. The total point gap between the two, however, is small, as Georgia pulled down 290 points and Florida claimed 279.
Go ‘Dawgs!

Do you think...
That in the event Ol’ Sweater Vest figures out a way to win in LA, Ohio State jumps all the way from 5 to 1 in the blogpoll, AP, and/or Coaches polls?
How UGA looks against SCAR might have an impact but I’m not sure it would matter if we blow them out or win by 1 in the eyes of many voters.
In the event that tOSU won the game this weekend I’m not sure how I would feel.
On the one hand, I’d like UGA to move back up to #1 because it would be absolute BS if tOSU jumped that far (we both played teams out of the same conference. tOSU struggled with a mid-level team from that conference while UGA laid a butt-whoopin on the two-time champion of said conference).
On the other, having tOSU jump them back up to #1 would likely really piss our guys off and cause them to go into Tempe looking for blood (which would be a-ok with me).
"Who knew that Florida would one day hire a coach that made us long for the graciousness and dignity of the Steve Spurrier era?"

Now I'm sure of it...
If tOSU does beat USC, they will jump all the way to #1 because “They did it while Beanie was hurt”

Not to get ahead of ourselves...but they are so what the heck...
These yo-yo’s actually think that they are going to blow us out….Unbelievable!

THAT was comedic relief
If I were ASU alums, I’d be pitching in the ole’ booster fund to lay off the stripper money and get some offense linemen. This game is going to be ugly as all hell in the trenches!
See y’all between the hedges on 9/27!
