re: Individual games that cost your team a National Title

Here are some non national title games off the top of my head.

Georgia/Bama 2012: Actually, about 5 SEC teams probably have a game they wish they could get back that year. Georgia had the final shot. Whoever won the SEC was going to clobber Notre Dame.

Bama/Auburn 2013: Bama had many chances to put this game away before the miracle happened.

Florida/Bama 2009 Bama/Florida 2008: Loser of both games would have had a great shot in the title game especially Florida 2009.
