If the East continues to be a dumpster fire, it can happen - just like a mini-ACC schedule for Clemson. All while Bama (or LSU) face the gaunlet.

Meanwhile, UGA loses less players to injury, meets the West champion (and even loses) but still makes the playoffs and wins it all. With less injured, the next season is a better starting point.

What may have sounded crazy 6 months ago, we know just happened.

Atop it. West is rarely a gauntlet.

What "gauntlet?" The West has been a freakin cakewalk for Bama 3 outta the last 4 years.You went unchallenged in division play in '18 and '20 and didn't get challenged til the SECCG's

WTF are you smoking?And why do you keep repeating a blatant falsehood?

UGA loses

still makes the playoffs


And you didn't even win the division in '17 yet still made the playoffs.Whats your point?

Do you consider LSU (7 losses)as a part of that "gauntlet"?

Out of curiosity, who do you think was so great in the West outside of Alabama and Ole Miss. A&M lost 4 games (LSU-7 Losses and MState-5Losses among them) So, outside of a 3 loss Ole Miss, who populated that gauntlet?

You have no idea what you are talking about, do you?

Before the season began we lost:

Dom Blaylock (5* WR)
Arian Smith (fastest WR)
Kearis Jackson (4* WR)
George Pickens (5* WR)

All were injured before the first game. Some returned near the end but were not at full speed....and that was just the receivers.

We also lost Tykee Smith (Star/safety) who was to be a starter and late in the year lost Adam Anderson, who was thought to be a first round draft pick. Those were not the only ones, either. Christopher Smith starting safety missed chunks of the season with injuries (Got an INT in NCG)
Tate Ratledge starting OG went out for the season on the first series of the first game, Trezman Marshall and Rian Daivs (Both LBs) missed large arts of the season.

Jalen Kimber CB missed the NCG as well with a shoulder injury.

We played the vast majority of the season without two 5* receivers, a 5* edge rusher and a boatload of mid to high 4* defensive players.

Again...these were not all of the injuries, but crap. To say we have fewer injuries is dumb. Why make absolute statements about things when you have no idea what you are talking about?

Seems like Alabama didn't even win their own division and won a championship, so this seems to be an odd take.

West was 10-4 vs the East this year. Gap probably widens some for 2022. It's a fair statement to say the East is on par with the ACC.
