there would be little reason to think we'd win, at their place at night especially.
Anyone picking us to win is doing so based on pedigree and what we expect Georgia to be, and that's not unreasonable.
The interesting thing to me is always about recency bias.
If USF was Bama's last game (14-13 after 3 quarters) and our last game was Clemson (2nd half obliteration of a team that has destroyed their 2 other 'quality' opponents), the general feeling around the country would be quite different.
Now, maybe it really does matter that one team has looked much better and the other much worse in a matter of a week or two, but the 'last game' mindset is a big deal as far as opinions and prognostications go, imo.
