How about just having an adequate QB? Both of VT’s signal callers left a lot to be desired… of course, dropped passes didn’t help, but still.

I guess better coached wouldn’t be the reason.

Despite the lousy TV coverage by Fox this was a pretty good game to watch. VT stunk up the place with their worst game of their last six contests. Clearly VT had the better athletes, but must have partied to much on South Beach.

I agree that Georgia has been playing great football late in the season, but no matter how well you play at the end of the season, you still need to win your conference to have a shot at the National Championship. Sorry 2007 Georgia and 2006 Michigan, but teams that don’t win their conference championship have no business playing for the National Championship, regardless of how good they look doing it.

I concede that LSU’s impending demolishing of OSU makes this a ho-hum ending to an exciting season, and that LSU is not the nation’s top team. Our only hope for the consideration of a playoff system lies with the AP. A few more years of split NC’s and the push for a playoff might pick up steam.
