I’ve made the observation before that when voting in a college football poll there are three possible sets of qualities to explore and combine to form an educated placement: The résumé: What has this team done this year? Who have they defeated? Who have the lost to? How have those games come to pass? And, […]

Georgia vs. Alabama: Tomorrow’s Game in One Beautiful Photo
posted by dudeyoucrazy
I couldn’t let a game of this magnitude come and go without spending 7 minutes using the Paint program on my computer and dropping some knowledge. I must warn Alabama fans that this photo is gruesome. It features A.J. McCarron’s chest tattoo. Georgia fans, enjoy. Click to enlarge. It’s totally worth it. Be Sure […]
Weekend Preview: We are the Champions
posted by dudeyoucrazy
If you don’t have a Conference Championship, I don’t know how you can really know who the best team in your conference is. And if you don’t know who the best team in your conference is, then I assume that you don’t have one. And if you don’t have a best team in your conference […]
Georgia’s Offensive Weapons Can Beat Alabama: Why I’m not Terrified of the Tide Defense
posted by dudeyoucrazy
Alabama’s Defense The Crimson Tide’s defense is pretty good. They rank first in the nation in scoring defense. They rank first in the nation in yards allowed. They rank second in the nation in rushing defense. They drop way down to fourth in the nation in passing defense, but they’ve intercepted 17 passes. They are […]
Breaking Down the Heisman Candidates: It’s About to get Ugly
posted by dudeyoucrazy
As promised, today I’m going to break down the candidates for the Heisman Trophy. I’ll use ESPN’s Heisman Watch order as a guide. ; Johnny Manziel The first thing I’ll point out about Manziel is not his butt. It’s his wallet. That’s where he hides his fake I.D. for when he gets into fights. […]
How Georgia Wins the SEC: Stop Alabama’s Running Game
posted by dudeyoucrazy
A.J. McCarron is not going to beat the Georgia Bulldogs. I don’t know that A.J. McCarron is going to beat any team in his lifetime at this level and beyond. He’s a fine player – no doubt – but just as I said he didn’t lost the game for the Tide against the Texas A&M […]
White and Nerdy: The Georgia Bulldogs and the Rest of the Nation
posted by dudeyoucrazy
A few weeks ago I dropped a lot of data on folks, bored most of them and puked out some graphs in the process. Well if you hated that you’ll hate this – but hopefully not quite as fervently. Here is an update on the scoring coefficients that I explained here. Best Conferences: […]
Manti Te’o Might be Georgia’s Third Best Linebacker
posted by dudeyoucrazy
What is it that makes Manti Te’o so good? If you think I’m opening an inspirational story of his rise to prominence by posing that question then you are sadly mistaken. I’m asking in all sincereity why Manti Te’o is supposed to be good? I’ve watched him play four complete games this year and I […]
SEC Coaching Carousel: Are there really FIVE opening?
posted by dudeyoucrazy
This is how you get fired within 23 months of hoisting a National Championship Trophy. Lose to an ACC team (Clemson) in the season opener. Lose to a non-top 25 team and traditional conference bottom-feeder (Mississippi State) in week two. Squeak out an overtime victory over an 8-4 team from the Sunbelt (Louisiana-Monroe) in week […]
Weekend Recap
posted by dudeyoucrazy
I’m back from traveling the seas and I’m back with a vengeance. Had I only known that last week I would have missed prime time to talk about the shortcomings of Kansas State, I might have scheduled vacation time for another week. Just kidding. I’ll take vacation any day. I did no “Weekend Preview” as […]
