Claiming the 1942 title seems so silly to me when basically the entire male population was at war or ready to be enlisted for war. If UGA claims 1942, UF should be able to claim 1984.

Many of the stars of that UGA team could be said the be “ready to enlist” as they were enlisted in 1943. This includes Sinkwich (Heisman winner), Trippi (runner up) and Poschner (Distinguish Service Cross winner). Are you the Gator that always tries to paint this team as filled with war dodging cowards?

I don’t have a problem with UF claiming 84…they’d have beat BYU’s arse.

UGA was the best team in 1942…and frankly was THE ONLY undefeated untied team in 1946 after all had come home and it was basically the same team as 42 minus Sinkwich.
