Georgia isn't looking quite as bad as it did once. The Vandy win is also
a lot better than we thought it was.

I agree. But we still have to win 2 games.

Well, we only have a couple of years to measure that against. I
don't believe so. But we aren't that much different than Ohio State
2008, despite them only being 10-8.
