Question

Why is Georgia number 1 when LSU won the National Championship??

Answer 1

Because, as most fans realize, the National Championship game wasn't played by either of the two best teams in the country.

Answer 2

The real reason is b/c LSU lost a lot of talent to the NFL and they have a freshman QB.

UGA has a returning Junior QB a super sophomore RB and are returning 16 players out of 22 that went 11-2 last year and looked real real good.

Doesn't matter what LSU did last year b/c in College players leave to go pro and the look of a team changes drastically if one or two superstars leave (see 2005 TX v 2006 TX after VY left)

Answer 3

You're probably seeing a preseason poll and thinking it's based on last season. Just because a team was the champion one year doesn't mean they'll be the best next season. LSU lost their quarterback, while Georgia has more returning starters from a team the finished second.

Answer 4

Because they are a SEC School and a Program that can and will Win the National Title they have play above all the Hype this fall Because If they blow it once then It was a Waste of time and effort i hop it don't turn out that way.

Answer 5

Because LSU isn't the exact same team as they were when they won the championship. They lose players and get players. It's not based on last years teams. Those polls don't really matter.

Answer 6

Some players left and their QB was suspended

Answer 7

The have many talented Russians on the squad.

Answer 8

Towards the end of the season Georgia was a very hot team, in fact many belive if it wasnt for a slow start they probably would have rolled over everyone last year. Score over 40pts in last six games just absolute dominence, then destroyed Hawaii only to keep thing rolling for them. So the coaches and the experts felt that with what they have returning this team should be number 1. What they didnt tell anyone although the line is very talented but according to SEC standards is very young that has allot of tough SEC road games this year. Unfortunately they may start number 1 but that pressure on a young line plus a brutal schedule I see these guys blowing up in SEC play.

Well see how good that line is when they go up against Arizona St,

that D-fense can swarm, that game will determine how well this line holds up in SEC play this year.

Answer 9

cause georgia rules...stafford kicks ***

Answer 10

I Dont no they coaches voted on that i think

Answer 11

Because it's an opinion poll.

Some of LSU's players are gone to the NFL or graduated, and Georgia's have improved, or so the sportwriters seem to think.

Believe no opinion poll until October.
