I give you an excerpt from Stewart Mandel’s original college football heirarchy order, and why he justified Georgia NOT being among the kings:
Dividing all 66 BCS teams into a proper 2007 four-tier hierarchy
“So I suppose this raises a question: What exactly constitutes a "national power?" To be honest, I don't have a specific answer. ... after all, Minnesota has a bunch of national titles on its mantle, but no one views the Gophers as a national power.
. . .
it's something more than wins and losses. It's a certain cachet or aura. It's the way a program is perceived by the public. Let me put it to you this way:
Suppose we went to, say, Montana. And suppose we found 100 "average" college football fans (not necessarily message-board crazies, but not twice-a-year viewers, either) and put them in a room. If I held up a Michigan helmet, my guess is all 100 would know exactly what it was. If I held up a picture of the USC song girls, all 100 would know who they were. If I happened to bring Joe Paterno along with me, all 100 would say, "Hey, look, it's Joe Paterno!"
But if I held up a Georgia "G" helmet, how many of them do you think would be able to identify it off the top of their head? And with all due respect to Mark Richt, if we secretly inserted him into a police lineup, how many of them would actually say, "Hey, look, it's Mark Richt!"“
Yep, F Georgia and wear orange & blue
