Overrated? Reaction pours in following Georgia's loss at Alabama, latest AP ranking
Georgia suffered its first loss this season, and several people believe the Bulldogs should have paid the price more in the latest AP Top 25 ranking.
Following the 41-24 loss to Alabama, Georgia dropped just one spot in the AP poll, from No. 3 to No. 4 this week. That didn’t sit well, as some people called out “SEC bias,” and questioned the credibility of the AP poll.
Others compared Ole Miss’ offensive shootout against Alabama as a better showing the week before, however, the Rebels stumbled against Arkansas. Oklahoma State fans were among those calling out the seemingly unfair ranking.
Here’s a sampling of the criticism:
Georgia gets their ass beat last night and drops one spot to #4 in the AP poll.

AP POLL IS WORTHLESS. Georgia at 4 a joke https://t.co/HZ6HL5fCwH

Trying to figure out how #Georgia lost by double digits last night and fell from 3rd to 4th in the AP Poll, what a joke 😂😂
— Rodnye Theoc (@RodnyeTheoc) October 18, 2020
What a joke, Georgia still sitting in the top 5 of both major polls after blowing a large lead by laying a second half egg in the 41-24 blowout loss at No.2 Alabama. Ole Miss gave Bama a much, much better game, and it just got beat by Arkansas.

These polls are a joke Notre Dame and Georgia definitely not top 5

A Georgia loss and they don’t drop in the polls. Every year they manipulate who they want to see in the playoffs.

OSU moves up to 6 in the AP Poll. In true SEC bias fashion, Georgia dropped a whole 1 spot after losing by 17 points to Alabama, so they are still ahead of us.

This is what bothers me about eh AP Poll. Notre Dame is ranked 3rd after beating a now 1-4 Louisville squad 12-7 *at home*. Okay, fine. Georgia lost, so did UNC. But look at Ohio State. Shouldn’t they be higher?
— Lance Dawe (@Dawetober) October 18, 2020
Georgia really went down ONE IN THE RANKINGS AFTER THAT SHIT SHOW OF A GAME..
Cowboys come in at number 6 in the new AP poll— Ryan 🪂 (@RyanB_OK) October 18, 2020
Ohio State would be in the CFP without playing a single game. #TRUTH!
And they would win.
It does seem strange that Georgia lose by a whopping 17 points & drops only one spot ?
Probably not as strange as the fact that the #5 team hasn’t played a game.
They will be playing soon though. As long as they are eventually playing games, no problem. But if they were not going to play then no, they should not be in rankings. But dropping only one spot after losing by 17 is a little odd. But then again, doesn’t really matter. If uga wins out, they are in the playoff. Doesn’t matter what ranking they are now.
They have not played yet. How good is a team that hasn’t played? They shouldn’t get ranked until they have actually played.
darthA is 100% correct. You can’t rank a team who hasn’t played among teams who have.
Well, Apparently you can because that is what they are doing. Again, at this point the rankings mean nothing.
Well obviously they are. What I meant was it’s illogical.
You were behind at half time to a team with a walk-on quaterback. What does that say about your team?
Ole Miss was more competitive..
You were shutout in the second half (21-0) with the best defense in the country 417. What does that say about your team?
You morons just pulled a bunch of tweets from Suckeyes fans calling Georgia overrated?
You actually attached your name to this garbage, Keith? LOL.
SDS gonna SDS.
Over rated. Hehehe
A bunch of people with overly dramatic responses to the AP poll? Totally news worthy.
Notre Dame at #3 and Oklahoma, Penn State and Cincinnati being ranked ahead of Florida is a bigger joke than Georgia being ranked #4.
Georgia may still be a legitimate #3 on the strength of their defense until they lose again. But what we saw firsthand last night is that while Georgia’s defense is very good, it is absolutely beatable. A “great” defense (which, honestly, is how Georgia’s D was billed) does not surrender 564 yards to anybody.
The corners are good but not lockdown caliber, and Georgia does not have a Quinnen Williams, Javon Kinlaw or Derrick Brown who can take over a game.
Georgia’s strength is extremely well coached assignment football. They rarely beat Alabama at the line of scrimmage last night, but they were gap sound and held most of Alabama’s runs to around three yards. After the first snap of the first series, though, they never really pressured Jones in the passing game. And even an elite secondary is going to have problems if the quarterback consistently has 3-4 seconds to throw.
yep, UGA is a legit 3, but well behind Clemscum and bammer. once Ohio state plays, we’ll see if they are on those 2 teams levels or just UGA’s level….either way, write those 3 in for the playoff lol
I’m not sure the 2020 version of Clemson is a true Number One. Until the Ga. Tech game they were not blowing anyone out, even though they play in the ACC. They are not deep in talent, like the past few years…vulnerable.
You never know how good Clemson really is as they play in the ACC where there are absolutely no teams that can beat them. They may win the ACC for 14 years like FSU did. Heck they may do 20. It’s literally a one team league.
that’s my point….just look at the rest of the teams around the country. outside of the 2 obvious ones, and probably OSU, UGA is about all that’s ;eft to challenge those 3. MAYBE Penn State or Notre Dame? Oklahoma state is laughable. Flarduh….if they step up their defense. Wisconsin? seriously, nobody is left outside of the 3 I mentioned. UGA can’t challenge them with a Jr Pro Qb
and if UGA didn’t beat bammer at the line of scrimmage, why did I see so many holes opening in the run game? too bad their idiot coach Monken went away from it! bama’s offense is SCARY good with tons of weapons, but their defense is trash this year. if UGA had a legit QB, they’d have controlled the clock more and maybe a different scenario in the 4th quarter
Lot of If’s…..41-24 isn’t an if …
that wasn’t an “if”, moron. reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit, we know. read the article about the “six college coaches and their reactions to the bama-UGA game”….maybe you’ll learn something. UGA averaed over 4.5 yards a carry for a reason. their o-line did just fine vs mighty bammer. add in the sacks and it’s probably MORE than 5 per carry. like I said, too bad they got behind in the 2nd half and Monkey went away from the rush!
averaged
Yes, for sure a team that hasn’t even played a game yet should keep rising in the polls.
needs…Agreed…but it’s all based upon their last year’s record anyway for Ohio State. Their secondary is young this year.
Hell yeah Georgia is overrated… happens every year!! The annual Georgia hype train derailed in Tuscaloosa last night. Georgia fans can talk when they win a meaningful game. Georgia is the Oklahoma of the SEC.
you’re a complete dumbass….UGA will win out and be right back in the SECCG. they are the 3rd or 4th best team in the nation, and that’s adding Ohio State in there.
At least UGA is winning games this season. Overrated would be starting the season in the top 5 and then losing to MSU and Missouri.
Bleaux Me. Talk about over rated. LSU started the season at #6. That “O” in Coach O’s name is actually a zero. Coach 0 is your head coach. LMAO. In another year you will be stealing that from me and will be using it on your cardboard banner at Tiger Field after you lose to Arkansas for the second year in a row.
Coach zer0 is the new Gene Chizik. But at least Chizik knew how to draw up plays on the white board.
A 17 point shellacking should be good for at least a 4 to 5 spot drop in the polls. Do i think georgia is overrated…yes, georgia self hypes itself every year nothing new there. I do think Sat night put this team in perspective for their overzealous fans. Georgia is really good as long as they are playing the Auburn’s and Tennessee’s of the world. They are the big bad wolf to those schools. But the wolf tangled with an elephant last night and got a complete ass whipping!
Yeah I don’t think they should have dropped far but they shouldn’t be in the top 4 after that game. Many people associate the top 4 with the CFP even though that’s an entirely different poll… You got to atleast drop them out of that top 4.
Was actually shocked when I saw the one spot drop. Honestly after that game we shoulda dropped to 7-10 until we know what some of these teams who haven’t played yet are like. Right now it’s Bama, Clem’s Son and then……pick one. I mean UNC was #5 (how I don’t know) and got beat by Florida Freakin State, which is trash.
So here’s the thing. Alabama was spotted 3 defensive holdings which resulted in automatic first downs on 3rd and 9+. Had any of those been called pass interference, like they should have been, those drives end and the dogs get the ball back. All of those drives ended in alabama getting a touchdown. The dogs definitely fell apart in the 4th quarter. Did they get taken to the wood shed, no. They honestly did great, we need a QB so our offense can help munken find an identity.
This is for Max. You really should know rules before you throw out an opinion. Pass interference comes with up to15 yard penalty and an AUTOMATIC 1st down. So those drives don’t end there.
You were behind at half time to a team with a walk-on quarterback. What does that say about your team? Completely overrated.
You lost by a larger margin than Ole Miss…
“complete ass whipping”?????? guess you didn’t watch the same game as the rest of the country. good win for bammer, but not as bad as you might think. lots of weapons on offense but the defense is still trash. go rewatch the game without your maroon goggles on lmao
@colts coach: Just to clarify a few things:
1. Usually a victory by a margin of 17 points is a complete ass whipping by any stretch of the imagination, especially when the line on the game was 5 points. 2. The defense you refer to as trash held your dogs to ZERO points through the entire second half of the game. 3. 1980!
RTR!
ummmm, that trash defesne didn’t “hold” UGA to zero points lmao….UGA offense held themselves (and missed an easy FG) so your logic is flawed. Bammer is legit on offense, no doubt, but ole piss showed what UGA couldn’t (and texas A&M did as well)….that defense is not Sabanesque lol
you’re an idiot, plain and simple….no, a margin of 17 points in this day and age of football is in no way an “asswhipping” and you know it…..the might tide beat ole piss by 15…is that an “asswhipping”? didn’t think so. did UGA give the vols and “asswhipping”? beat them by 23 and didn’t play worth a crap. get a grip
and what does “1980” mean? you do realize only one team wins the natty every year, right? LOTS of teams are outside the top 10 in categories UGA is in, including not winning a natty in awhile. what a lame attempt at being smart/witty. try to do better, little buddy.
Ass whipping? You were behind at half time to a team with a walk-on quarterback who had started 2 games prior to that night. Get real. Bama will not win another NC under Saban. He’s lost his defensive coaching edge and he will not win a championship without it.
Yeah an a$$ whipping.. You lost by a bigger spread than Ole Miss… Gave up almost 600 yards of offense and couldn’t do anything on offense in the second half…
Bama had almost 600 yards against that great UGA defense.. UGA’s offense is trash and yes losing by 17 while being shutout in the second half is an a$$ whipping..
then you have no clue what an asswhipping is….sorry, you’re wrong. 17-0 is an asswhipping? 24-7 or 27-10 is an asswhipping, even after the other team was leading at the half? get a grip, bammer douches. your team is legit, but don’t act like UGA was smashed for 4 quarters. good try though
Colts Coach, don’t bother with these delusional Bama flakes. They think they are entitled to a NC every year just like they are entitled to their EBT.
No, it was a trip to the woodshed. We had no answer for Waddle, Smith, Metchie and Jones is legit! At this point we got no offense to hang with Bama and take some heat off the defense.
UGA had the lead until about 4 minutes left in the 3rd. I think that mitigates claims of “a complete ass whooping”. But Bama did completely dominate the 2nd half, in part due to two terrible interceptions. In the end, it wasn’t close and Bama earned a huge victory. I think, though, the final score shouldn’t erase the fact that it was a heavyweight fight, with equal blows traded until late in the game.
UGA was shutout the second half. Bama scored on 3 or their 4 second half drives. Bama put up almost 600 yards on your so called elite defense winning by 17 points and running out the clock to not score again…
UGAs defense was done after Campbell couldn’t manage to grab a hold of waddle as he went 90 yards…
That was an a$$ whipping..
Sure, whatever you say BT. You really seem to like that narrative, so go with it.
That’s the best analysis of the game I’ve read so far.
You’re welcome to go with any narrative you like as well Boxster…
I’ll take a 17 point win over the greatest ever, the next dynasty, the reigning preseason champs since 1980 every time…
BT, you’re a real piece of work. I’ve never, ever made grand claims of how superior UGA is or was. And I’ve stated several times, with respect to Saturday’s game, that Bama is a heck of a team and earned a huge victory. They beat UGA soundly. All I am saying is calling it a “complete ass whipping” is hyperbolic and ignores facts, though I realize that is splitting hairs a bit. But you can’t let that slide and have to gloat and be obnoxious. Seeing how much Bama has won under Saban, I would think you would know how to act like you’ve won before.
Why can’t a Bama fan gloat or and be a little obnoxious after a big win? It’s not like it’s been a year since the game and I’m still talking about it like you see UGA fans doing with other games…
The game just took place and UGA lost decisively… You think UGA fans aren’t going to get a little ribbing about it? If UGA won do you think it wouldn’t be reverse?
It’s all in good fun. As much $hit as UGA fans talk you should be able to take a little in return..
boxster – UGA fans were calling the 2017 SECCG an “a$$ whipping” when in reality in was 13-7 heading into the 4th.
WDE, this is 2020 and the game in question was against Bama. Keep up.
BT, that’s fair I suppose. But blow your hot air elsewhere. I don’t gloat and only talk trash defensively in response to others that step out of line. You must have me confused for someone else. Congrats again on Bama’s big win. I guess.
I’ll “blow my hot air “ wherever I want too… You jumped into the conversation.
If UGA is calling the 2017 game an “a$$ whipping” then last saturday was one as well.. keep up.
The difference WDE is UGA was on the receiving end of that a&& whipping and it’s pretty obvious that UGA fans can’t take the $hit they like to dish out.
Like I said, BT you’re a piece of work. If you want to be obnoxious towards everyone regardless of their past and current behavior, then far be it from me to stop you. Bama won big time and you having bragging rights.
Both of you charmers like to focus on the worst part of the fanbase and extrapolate out from there to justify your foolishness. WDE, most reasonable UGA fans don’t consider the 2017 SECC to be an ass whooping. But don’t let facts get in the way, right?
I can take trash talk, absolutely, but it seems to make sense only in the context of trash actually being talked. I actually tried to have a conversation here. I fully realize that to you BT the two are indistinguishable.
Also, WDE, quick question, is 27-6 an ass whooping? Asking for a friend…
Boxter – nice deflection.
There were plenty of them and I can provide prove later if you’d like.
Boxster… What you seem to think is I’m only talking to UGA trolls with this banter. That’s not the case. It was a game against Bama and UGA so a little trash talk considering the way the game went and how recently it happened could be expected don’t you think?
Don’t be so thin skinned. At least I’m keeping it about the game and not making it personal like so many UGA fans tend to do.
BT, that’s a low bar to clear, but I will grant that you’re not personally attacking me. And really, I welcome trash talk. I was just making a good-faith attempt at dissecting the game in this conversation thread. Like I’ve continually said, you have bragging rights (as you’ve had for years), so be my guest…
WDE, I’m not being serious with this nonsense I’m posting. Just having a little fun. And no, the SECC was not an ass whooping. At least in my book. For whatever that’s worth.
Crimson glasses. That’s why they are called the Crimson Tide. If Bama has a trash defense what does that say about an offense that could only score 24.
ok, moron, when did ANY UGA fan say their offense was great?? see my point? you douchebags are so ignorant it’s scary, and again, I bet none of you assclowns have ever stepped foot on the campus or could get into the school lmao you’re just uneducated redneck “fans” because you live in that crap state lol
You calling others uneducated may be the craziest post since Negans meltdown…
Bamatime, I challenged you, and you can’t show me anything. idgaf what a “negan” is, and it shows what a class one douche you are. like I said, GKY assclown (or show me your degrees)
Why do UGA fans wish harm to people on a football forum? You’re a piece of trash. Telling someone to go kill themself should be enough to be removed from
SDS.
You’ve now done it twice… Let’s see how long you last.
Colts coach, dude, simmer down. Talk like that only ends up reflecting poorly on the rest of UGA fans and accomplishes nothing else. BT, and fans like him, have a hard enough time differentiating between the good ones and the bad ones.
boxster355, colts coach is nearing “meltdown mode” just like queen negan has. Will queen negan resurface?
Bamatime, you get what you deserve, homie. you can talk trash but you can’t back it up or take it when someone does it to you. you are no better than anyone else on here. just because the team you cheer for (because you KNOW you didn’t go to school there) beats other teams, you act like YOU are a part of that or that YOU are better than someone else. get real, tool. I can talk about football with the best of them, but i’m not gonna see you run your yapper and not put you in your place. idgaf who you are or where you are, i’ll post what I want when I want until SDS tells me otherwise. I’ve never had some alter ego on here, either, so tell your little butt buddy to GFH. is that better?
I don’t mind you talking trash. I just give it right back to
You. It seems you can’t take it as you get personal and start telling people to kill themself…
It take a low class piece of trash to tell people to kill themselves over comments on a CFB message board…
I bet you’re pressing those keys real hard and showing them whose boss with every post… LMAO
I surely get Ok St frustration. They are undefeated but are ranked behind a 1 loss team and a team who hasn’t even played yet.
I don’t get the Ohio State hate among SEC fans. We know they’re a good team.
It’s hard to argue that Notre dame deserves to be 3. Scoring 12 points would be a 2 win team in the SEC.
wait wait wait a second….are OKLAHOMA STATE fans really talking trash? talk about OVERRATED EVERY SINGLE YEAR!! the are a perennial 8-9 win team and lay an egg vs their big brother at the end of every season. as far as everyone else goes, U can call UGA overrated all you want, but they’ll win out and be right back in the seccg vs bammer. outside of bammer and clemscum, everyone else is playing for 3rd, including Ohio state. the playoff will be those 3 plus a 2 loss GA team or a 2 loss Notre Dae team. everyone else just sucks, including the little cowgirls that are crying about POLLS in week freaking FOUR!!
A two loss UGA team isn’t getting in without a three lost power 5 champion…
colts coach, are you related to queen negan?
By the way…Where’s King these days ?
No Negan, or TDOW…. There’s a few more UGA trolls still MIA as well.
“a three lost” power 5 champion? bruh, you just proved to me what a complete redneck moron you are. you certainly NEVER attended the fine university of alabammerlol
For someone who uses such poor grammar and punctuation you shouldn’t be throwing stones about lack of education. He just pointed out that the only way UGA gets in the playoffs is if there is a 3 loss conference champ. Since that happening is slim so is your chances of making the playoffs. Reading is fundamental.
hey “darth” douche, I clearly READ just fine, hence the reason I pointed out what an uneducated TOOL this redneck clown….punctuation on a post is slightly different than having NO CLUE how to speak plain English. lmoa
Below is part of your post above. Read it back to yourself then get back with me about your “NO CLUE how to speak plain English” comment…
“talk about OVERRATED EVERY SINGLE YEAR!! the are a perennial 8-9 win team and lay an egg vs their big brother at the end of every season.”
Here is another incomplete sentence from you..
“hey “darth” douche, I clearly READ just fine, hence the reason I pointed out what an uneducated TOOL this redneck clown”
Oh this comment from you really shows that you’re a dip$hit. Talking about someone killing themself..
“I will, right after you GKY, douchebag”
bamatime, you are an uneducated redneck and you know it….my posts are clearly written.
“talk about OVERRATED EVERY SINGLE YEAR!! the are a perennial 8-9 win team and lay an egg vs their big brother at the end of every season.”
so the “Y” was not typed for “they”…crappy laptop. but you said “3 lost team” because you are a friggin MORON from ALABAMMER. you know it, everyone on here knows it. post your degrees on here and i’ll post my THREE degrees. challenge is there. show up or stfu
You’re a real dumba$$. So yours was a typo but mine was done on purpose? I posted multiple examples of you screwing up.
Challenging someone to post their degrees on an anonymous forum is pure comedy..
I can say whatever and you have no way to verify it. The same goes for you. You’re possibly the biggest idiot to posts on SDS and that’s saying a lot…
Post*
you can’t verify anything because you don’t OWN a college degree…your lame a$$ can call me an idiot all you want, it won’t change the fact that you are uneducated. you know it, I know it. that’s all that matters
All that matters is how foolish you make yourself appear… I will just string you along while you prove to everyone you’re a dumba$$…
and you KEEP responding, dumba$$ lmao
That’s how I string you along… Try and keep up.
colts coach, I’ll ask again. Are you related to queen negan?
I don’t even know what the f a queen negan is, so stop asking. lameass
queen negan is (was) a UGA troll on SDS that chastised every fan on here not UGA. Always claiming that the Bama dynasty is dead and UGA is the new Superman. UGA has 5* everywhere and will dominate Bama.
He went by the name King Negan but I called him out a few months ago and called him a crybaby pu$$y and he literally lost it. That is why I was asking if you were related since you seem to be going down that same road lamea$$.
oh ok sds67, so you are a tough guy too huh? you called someone a name and they went away! congrats! tough guy of the message boards! winner! bunch of tards. so how about I just say GFY since bamatime got hims wittle feewings hurt when I said the other thing he should do lol
Press them keys down with force.. Show them whose the boss..
and I’ve NEVER claimed anything like that about UGA. I seriously think you tards just put words in people’s mouths. I’ve never even seen anyone associated with UGA say anything about being the new “superman” lol just like no UGA fan runs around preseason saying they are number one. that’s just stupid, like you and bammertime lol
lame as hell, like always
You’re not pressing them hard enough.. Keep trying..
“queen negan is (was) a UGA troll on SDS that chastised every fan on here not UGA. Always claiming that the Bama dynasty is dead and UGA is the new Superman. “
So you’re Negan with a new screen name?
Why the crying? Who would you put ahead of UGA right now? ND who’s looked shaky vs weak comp? OSU hasn’t played a gm yet. After they get going they’ll be top 2 or 3 but we at least gotta see them play. Other than OSU, none of the tms ranked below UGA would be favored if they played.
exactly…these tards getting their whittle panties in a wad over rankings after week 4 lmao…..i’ll bet ANYONE on here that okie state won’t finish NEAR the top 5 by the end of the season
