We're #33

Georgia's football team cracked the coveted "teams also receiving votes" in this week's AP poll. We're 7-3, after all. That's good, right? Let's look at those quality wins.

Team

Vanderbilt

South Carolina

Southern

Alabama

Tennessee

Missouri

Florida

Kentucky

Auburn

5-5

Basically, UGA has not beaten a major college team that holds (so far) a winning record. We did beat Southern University, a small school that boasts a 6-4 record. Otherwise we've beaten a 1-9 ULM, a 4-6 Vandy, a 3-7 South Carolina, a 5-5 Missouri, a 4-6 Kentucky, and a 5-5 Auburn.

Sigh.

We've lost to all the teams with winning records (setting aside tiny Southern).

Or do the math this way. Our wins are against teams with a combined 28-42. Our losses are to teams with a combined record of of 24-6. If you set aside the small schools like Southern and ULM, no better.

Again, sigh.
