Georgia still does get credit for making that game a whole lot more interesting in the second half than I think any of us anticipated, obviously, because we hopped on to our Saturday night reaction show just a little bit too early.

And then we looked at the score and we were like, hold on.

Maybe let's start.

Let's pivot, let's restart this.

But Georgia falls from the number two team in the country to number five fitz.

How do we feel about that?

I think that's just right.

And you know, when we think about where the rankings lay out for everybody, look at what we, and, and I realize that this is gonna be considered Caroline, we can take a shot every time we say this.

Now, a quality loss.

I know you and I both have talked about it.

It's just the dumbest.

I mean, that is disgusting moron.

The concept is just coming in and, and I think over the years college football has weighed quality losses for certain teams even more than they've weighed, even with more weight than they've given to good wins for other team.

It's the dumbest thing that happens in college football, but that being said, I can't change it.

So quality loss of this is gonna get weight.

But look at who our top four teams are and, and tell me why they aren't deserving of being ahead of Georgia, Georgia at number five to me is, is the perfect spot.

II I really view the tiers in college football.

Those top five teams are in a tier of their own.

Alabama, Texas, Ohio State, Tennessee, Georgia.

Those five teams have proven they're the five elite teams in college football.

Georgia deserves to be number five on that list because of their one loss.

But then you look at, you, look at the other teams, Oregon Penn State, Miami.

They have not yet proven that they're in that, that elite national championship contender category, which is why they're 67 and eight.

So it makes perfect sense that Georgia fits in right there at five.

And, and until we see anything different from Oregon Penn State, Miami that would tell us that they should pass them is Georgia's, you know, perfect right there at number five.
