Wouldn’t it make more sense to compare national titles in the post-Covid era?

Unless you think head to head is more important. Do ya?

What did getting beat by BAMA in the 2023 SECCG cost you? A chance at a 3-peat. Something never officially accomplished in the modern age. What did getting beat by BAMA in the 2012 SECCG cost Georgia? A chance to win a NC in almost 40 years. What did getting beat by BAMA in the 2018 SECCG cost Georgia? A chance to again make the playoff and try to win a NC in almost 40 years. What did getting beat by BAMA in the 2021 SECCG get Georgia? A reprieve, finally. The stars lined up and the Playoff committee let Georgia in even with yet another loss to BAMA in the SECCG. Thank goodness for the top 4 polls that year.

To suggest beating ALABAMA in a SECCG for the first time in your history isn't important is to try to justify success without conquering the best. So far, your football program hasn't done it once.

You are joking, right? What is your record vs Alabama? What is your Head Coach's record vs Alabama?

---

So you just deflect that we have won two titles since Alabama has won another one? You can live off the past if you want, but it still remains a fact that at this moment we are a better program. now, maybe that changes, but it is a fact right now. And, it isn't a matter of Alabama so much as to Saban.

I THINK you know this, but maybe not.

quote:

Indeed this is approaching joke status. You lose in September and you can no longer use the GOAT excuse. And there's a decent chance that you will.

---

You may be right, but one game does not make a trend or set a precedent.

quote:

---

I contend that if you lose that September game, with your schedule, that you could miss going to Atlanta and also miss the playoffs. For the second year in a row.

---

Surely you aren't serious. You think a 1 loss SEC team will be left out of a 12 team playoff? No use talking to somebody that believes like you do, then.

---

What did getting beat by BAMA in the 2023 SECCG cost you? A chance at a 3-peat.

In other words….

1. Kirby went back to back better than saban ever did.
2. Kirby ended up breaking the Bears win streak record.

That trumps everything you just typed, most of which was old news and irrelevant to the subject matter.

2022: Washington (10-2) would have missed the playoffs.

---

Because they were a PAC12 team. You did not mention that 5 other teams with 2 losses would have made the playoffs. An SEC team with 2 losses would make it.

quote:

---

2021: Pit (11-2), BYU (10-2) and Oklahoma (10-2) all would have missed the playoffs.

---

And yet Utah, with 3 losses would have made it. Michigan St, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss., Baylor and Ohio State would have all made it.
Again. And SEC team would make it.

quote:

---

2019: Alabama (10-2), Oregon (10-2), Notre Dame (10-2), Minnesota (10-2) and Cincinnati (10-2) all would have missed the playoffs.

---

In 2019 you have to go to week 16, because..well, I'm not sure why the schedule worked out that way. But...
A 3 loss Wisconsin would have made it as well as Georgia, Oregon, Baylor, Florida, Penn St and Utah with 2 losses.

quote:

---

2018: Washington State (10-2) would have missed the playoffs.

---

Because they played in the PAC 12. Theree teams would have made it with 3 losses. (LSU,Florida and Washington...ironically a PAC 12 team) Two more teams with 2 losses would also have made it. (Georgia and Michigan)

I get it and in a way I proved your point that 2 loss teams might miss a 12 team playoff, but those examples were based on extenuating circumstances....as a whole) A 2 loss SEC team will more than likely make every 12 team playoff.

So, technically you make a legitimate point and i was wrong...but realistically it probably will not happen.

Then pay attention. 3 of those BAMA azz kickings happened this decade. 2 in the SECCG.

2 national titles > 2 head to head wins

Is it the lock that all of the analysts and gurus say it is? I really don't think so.

Who exactly is saying that?

quote:

All of the CFB talking heads assume that UGA will win in Austin. Could it happen...of course. Is it the lock that all of the analysts and gurus say it is? I really don't think so.

---

What lock? Who are you listening to? You don't need a persecution complex to win that game. Georgia is going to come straight at you and between the tackles. It will be a LOS game and if the Shorthorns have your DL figured out you could easily win. If you don't, the dogs will beat on that weakness for 4 quarters and you will lose by 2 TDs.

quote:

---

In other words, I would rather have 2 national titles instead of 2 head to head wins.

So would you.

---

We have 6 NCs under Coach Saban and 18 total. Beating Georgia like a red-headed stepchild is merely a bonus.
