Final CFB Pick

In this space I declared Georgia an SEC title contender, I want to adjust that statement. This off-season I proclaimed to a few friends that I am now a South Carolina fan, enjoying the Ol' Ball Coach's approach to the college game and wanting to express my gratitude as an Eagles' fan for the tailspin he put the Redskins. Today I am here to tell you I was premature in each of these declarations. Georgia is a national title contender(please look at their schedule & tell me where the problems are? @Tenn, neutral vs FL, pretty easy by SEC standards) and I must not be that big a fan of the 'Cocks because the first tough spot I find them in, I am going against them. Issues I have with the other USC: -Mitchell will be chipping off rust while everyone else is at a faster game speed. Do you think Spurrier might take issue with this? -No playmakers on the outside. -On the road. -311(yes I confirmed with 2 sources) 311 yards rushing allowed to ULL last week. That just doesn't seem like the type of thing you correct in 1 week when taking a huge step up in class. -Stafford is well on his way and thrives when confident(I'm projecting a Brady Quinn career path for this kid. Probably means a Heisman &/or a national title). Just like last week, I am not hesitating at the fact that it appears sharp money is against UGA... they'll learn. This line came up as -3.5, but since I was able to buy it down to -3 for the low price of -120, I bought it to -3. Don't expect to need it, but it was the right play. UGA(-3,-120) 35 So. Car. 23[2$]...the early list of potential 2nd half candidates looks like this: UGA, WVU, FL, Oh. St. & Hawaii.
