Pete Golding stands at the same crossroads as the Georgia week.
Almost every Sugar Bowl prediction you saw had Georgia as the predicted winner; the Rebels weren't just underdogs—they were afterthoughts in a bracket meant for blue bloods.
It didn't take them too long to prove every last shred of that false with the eviscerating of the Bulldogs in a 39-34 roller coaster game.
The rub? The "underdog" tag still follows the Rebels as they head into the Fiesta Bowl semi finals with Miami.
Vegas hasn't quite gained the trust in the elite QB Trinidad Chambliss, or the one-of-the-best offenses, or even the so-much-improved defense.
