When Georgia beats Alabama by 20+ will they drop down to #20 b/c they were underdogs, on the road, and beaten by a top 5 team?

@43

Oh yes, how could we all forget mighty UConn’s nameless RB, a dead cinch lock to win the Heisman?

bubj @#45…ah, but does the Gennessee have a tidal surge twice daily? I thought not. And who sucks to make it flow north? Not Georgia as she is anchored in the south. “Specail”-ness restored.

socal @ #34…Jacksonville sits in the northeast corner of Florida. It is not a tourist mecca like Orlando or Miami. It does not have four million people like Tampa. It does not have quick and easy access by Alabamans and Mississippians to the beach (like the panhandle), but Georgians seem to infest our city regularly. It has beaches and an extremely large river that flows north and through downtown (the only north-flowing river in the continental US…because Georgia sucks…no, it’s true, she does!). In a four county area it has almost a million people, so those million people are fairly spread out. It was and is a shipping/industrial hub and as such has a large population of those who work in said industries, along with a navy presence which provides a large transient population.

There were paper mills that were aromatic (now gone) and Maxwell House coffee has a plant downtown so the scent of roasting coffee permeates areas of the city when the wind is right.

Jacksonville averages about ten degrees cooler than Orlando at any given time and Jacksonville also suffers fewer hurricane strikes than the lower portion of the state due to the steering currents of the Gulf Stream.

Like any other southern city ( and yes, Jacksonville is mentally more southern than Orlando) it had racial issues, but nothing compared to the issues documented over decades in Tallahassee (three hours away). The crime rate in portions of the city are not good, but they do seem to be localized in those areas.

Before the superbowl that took place here, some sports talk weenie (unfortunate rat-faced individual with a spotty beard) said it stunk and he hated it so that became the buzz-word for Jacksonville. As a result, Jacksonville is a place in which people who do not live here love to hate.

39 – You don’t like undefeated teams with a Heisman candidate RB? Just wait buddy….

And that 2006 Ga. Tech was the pits. At least UVA last year had Long’s kid.

You should have included the Mountain West Conference in the mix. They’re probably better than everyone except for the Big 12 and SEC.

ACCCG…

Acronym describing a football game wherein the winner recieves a BCS berth?…

… or the sound one makes when viewing said football game moments before suffering an aneurysm due to boredom?

you be the judge.

No offense there Edsall, but UConn ranks way higher than GT and UVA on the lameness scale

Hey I can see where I was sitting for the ACCCG last year! I won’t make excuses for the piss poor gate but I will offer context and explanations. Virginia Tech has been Gator Bowl’d to near death, at one point I made three trips to JAX in a span of less than 13 months. That’s four trips too many. And BC’s entire fan base showed up and you can’t take that away from them. Plus they wanted $90 god damned dollars per seat. HA!^n where n is a very fucking large number.

The ACC batted 1.000 in out of conference match ups this past weekend, FYI.

I will stipulate that having the ACC championship game in Florida is a Really Fucking Stupid Idea ™ however. The sooner it moves to Charlotte the better.
