Well, sports fans, since we last talked, the University of Georgia Bulldogs went from No. 2 in the nation to the No. 1 team - the top ranked college football team in the whole USA. South Carolina came to Athens yesterday to try and change that and while they put up a good fight, the Dogs still won, 24-10.
In that latest poll that put the Dogs in the top spot, Notre Dame (or as we abbreviate it, NFD) crept up to the No. 3 spot, right behind No. 2 Alabama. In case you've forgotten, Georgia beat NFD earlier this year in South Bend by a score of 20-19. So as we noted last week, if Georgia keeps winning and the current standings still hold by the end of the year, the Bulldogs will have to play Alabama not once but twice to win the National Championship. But now, it's possible that they may also have to face NFD a second time as well. The Bulldogs' post-season might very well just be a repeat of earlier season games.
There's one team that can prevent this. NFD travels to Miami this Saturday to play Mark Richt's Hurricanes. Miami, we beg you, please beat Notre Dame and knock them out of the top four. Coach Richt, for the sake of both your current and your former teams, for the honor of the State of Florida and in the name of whatever it is you call that duck or stork or whatever that mascot's supposed to be, get a "W" this weekend over NFD. Georgia deserves better opponents in the playoffs than the Irish. They deserve Clemson - or for that matter, Miami.
But not the team we already beat in their home stadium.
