re: UGA hasn't won a NC since 1980

Here is another for 1983. Notice no one is even close to AU. 18,000 strength score for AU while the next closest are 3 teams in the 15,000 range. And notice the SOS rank. 9095 and next closest is 6680. We are talking historic numbers for the 1983 AU team and schedule. No team in the history of college football has ever defeated 5 consecutive top 20 opponents. No team in the history of college football has ever done as well against as difficult a schedule. Historic numbers son. There is no argument of the 1983 national champ. It is AU and it is AU by a LOT.

No rational person can dispute AU was the best in 1983.

you fricking moron...auburn didn't win the title in 83 no matter how many schedule analyses you want to post. Don't be a gump.

Exactly. You can argue the media was biased or unfair, you'll sound like a pussy but you may be right. To actually claim a title you're gonna need an actual major media outlet of the day that awarded it.

Maybe it was unfair, but to claim 1983 is pure fantasy.

frick yeah we did dumbass. We were crowned national champion by more selectors than anyone else. You could arbitrarily say AU did not win a popularity contest in a given poll, but I could come right back and say, no, but the won 20 polls that are less subjective than your arbitrary poll.

You really are a fool if you think AU was not the 1983 national champ. Best record, toughest schedule BY FAR. Not even close. All time historically tough schedule that pisses on every one else that year and STILL no one could post a better record.

1983 is not even close by any objective metric.

Shocker

As I suspected, Miami got the two that count. If Georgia defined NC's the way Auburn fans are trying to claim '83 then we would have a claim to five, which would be ridiculous, because those weren't the dominant media outlets of their day.
