Alabama was       ranked ahead of Georgia in the last poll. Alabama's only loss since that poll       was to the #1 team in overtime.              Alabama is a two loss team. Georgia lost once. It doesn't matter how close       either team's losses were. Alabama was the better       team in the SEC championship. Georgia was the better team over the course of       the entire season. They should have been        ranked ahead of Alabama.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
