I'm not ready to declare Georgia not in the same league as LSU, OSU and Clemson until I see them play each other... certainly the early season Georgia that showed up against us and South Carolina isn't anywhere near that league, but the team we've seen since they took their loss just might be.
It reminds me of '89 when we had a dominant team, but we're just kinda going through the motions beating people, then after Miami kicked our ass the lads woke up and started playing to their potential the rest of the season.
Also, I think it's way off listing Bama as a Tier III...even with their star QB lost I'd say they are at minimum Tier II and maybe even a rare 2.5.
