RPI:
Top 25:
For the first time in a long time, our Georgia Bulldogs do not face an uphill climb heading into conference play. That doesn't mean it's going to be easy, but if the season ended today, the Bulldogs would almost certainly receive an at-large bid.
In saying this, I'm making the cardinal sin of overlooking an opponent, Norfolk State, whose RPI sits at 152. As a blogger, I can be forgiven - the team cannot. Lose that one and things change dramatically.
Also note that the first two conference opponents, Arkansas and LSU, also have top 30 RPI rankings. A 2-0 run there would really start to ratchet up expectations.
Let's not get that far ahead of ourselves, though. Instead, let's enjoy "receiving votes" for the first time in a while, and let's turn out on Saturday to support a team that may not be winning pretty, but is winning nonetheless.
