Michael at Braves and Birds takes a look at teams he believes are very likely to be overrated this year based what he calls "The Charles Rodgers Theorem" which is a means to identify overrated teams based on the confluence of two factors:
1. Lots of returning skill position players, but few returning linemen; andThe theory is great for eyeballing teams like Clemson 2004 and Tennessee '05. Unfortunately, he lists Georgia as the most likely to be overrated team based on this. It's actually hard for me to disagree. Considering the train wreck of our offensive line and the fact that we lost 3 of 4 starters on defense, we are indeed green up front. It's a long read, but it's interesting.
2. Playing much better at the end of the season (typically in an end-of-year rivalry game and then the bowl game) than they did over the first 10-11 games.
On the recruiting front, MaconDawg goes around the SEC to check the progress of our neighbors when it comes to signing the next OMG!1!! AWESOMES!!!1! player. The momentum he notes that Alabama has on the high school circuit vs. Auburn also gets mentioned from Finebaum.
Back to Dawg Coverage, David Ching has a Q&A with defensive line coach Rodney Garner (ht - Blutarsky).
Speaking of Senator Blutarsky, he gets all staty on us regarding third down conversions. Sunday Morning QB also chimes in on the topic.

I was just looking at the picture of the ramblin' wreck and was thinking, "They should call it the tremblin' wreck."
For, once again, it has found itself surrounded by junkyard dawgs...
PWD,
Off-topic question here:
How much of a lock is the UGA-Bama game for the 3:30 CBS game?
It is listed as tentative on CBS' site and the only other games are Ark-Kentucky (only if UK beats Lville & Ark beats Bama) or LSU-SC (if SC beats UGA & LSU beats VT).
I am trying to schedule some travel and really don't want to miss the game.
if memory serves, Tuscaloosa game day traffic isn't the best inbound and it's brutal outbound on I-20 towards B-ham and ATL.
I would make my plans very flexible.
Getting out of T-Town was hellacious in 02, but I believe there was also a race that weekend at Talledaga that year.
Sorry, I should have clarified. I want to catch it on TV and I might have to fly on that day and I don't want to be on a plane while the game is on.
Didn't this guy also state that Florida was most likely to be overrated last year?
At least the Wreck is reparable while uga just dies... :(
