Georgia is not going to win many SEC games. They are projected to go 6-12. However, they went 10-3 in OOC games, only losing to Wake Forest, UAB, and Georgia Tech. Their best OOC win was over Notre Dame.

They are currently ranked 98th by KenPom. The Georgia win remains UAB’s best win so far.

Toledo is tanking. That is looking more and more like a WTF loss. I thought they were better than that.

Ball St handled them pretty well - I watched most of the game. We need Toledo to make up for it against Kent St next week.

I still check these threads for my own general interest.

But I'm pretty much in the boat that once the season is over, it will be clear that we have to win the C-USA Tournament.

Yep! CUSA is going to be a 1-Bid league. It just is. Thank god it's our last year!

I still think we have an at large shot, we just need to pretty much run the table. I think 2 or fewer losses in conference would give us a pretty good chance.

UGA up 8 on Auburn at the half. Even if they end up losing today, I think that has a chance to end up being a decent win for us (as in a Q2 win). I think UGA can hang around the .500 mark in the SEC. South Carolina on the other hand....woof. They couldn't even beat Vandy last night.

Not if those 2 losses were to UTSA or FIU. I think even a home loss to WKU would put it on ice.

Vandy isn’t bad this Year. I was encouraged that they were able to take them to overtime. That shows me that hopefully they are improving.

Uga up 13!

UGA won by 12

Good win by Georgia, plus we can rub it in to Auburn fans.

Nice win by UGA today. They seem to be getting better as the season goes on. Hopefully that can continue in the SEC.

Georgia’s KenPom ranking is up to 90. Now expected to go 7-11 in conference.

Bama State and Southern both won.
