    Our Tigers have three wins vs top ten teams this season. Anyone know what the all time record for this is in a single season? I can't find this anywhere...
    Geaux Tigers!

    UGA beat two #1 teams last year. I’m more impressed with wins over teams based on where they’re ranked at the end of the season. Are AU and UM even ranked today?

    Not sure. But the Barn beat back to back #1 teams last year. The same 2 (Bama and UGA)

    Don't want to be Debbie Downer but I just looked at UGA's record. They have played mostly cream puffs. But I will sure as hell take the win over a number 2, deservedly or not!

    The 2011 team beat Oregon, West Virginia, Alabama and Georgia when they were all in the top 10.

    You’re not being a Debbie Downer, just late to the party. Most of us knew that, and that was the reason why some of us had some optimism going into yesterday. However, the win exceeded expectations, IMO. UGA was a play away from winning the NC last year and were ranked #2. I don’t care if they were overrated or not, doesn’t take away from that phenomenal win yesterday.

    Have you seen bama's schedule... Again, they may be the best team ever but how do you know, based on who they've played this year...
