Injuries or no, they beat 2021 Alabama in the CFPCG. I think they lose if Alabama had just one or two of the starters back but ifs and buts, candy and nuts.

With Clemson, the schedule did not matter. They were that good. They had the nfl talent at qb, rb, wr, dline.


It did matter. They were good but Trevor Lawrence basically got 10 practice games before the playoffs instead of getting through the gauntlet of the SEC. They came into the playoffs fresh and ready while we were pretty worn out.

Clemson had/has a very easy paths to the postseason.

I came to address this utter nonsense but your bama brethren has already pointed out your idiocy so I guess I don't have to!

I also notice the "Joined December 2nd 2023" date, not so coincidentally the same day as last year's SECCG. Let me guess, you live in Georgia, probably somewhere like Gwinnett or another county near atlanta, and live around UGA fans so now have a perpetual hatred of them? Am I close?

I don’t think anyone cares who you see as “legit” and not.

Will be a 1-6 seed in the playoffs. Think Alabama and Georgia meet at least one more time this year in SECCG and probably 2 more. Best two teams in College football this year

Just under Kirby, they've beaten the following teams. None of those were legit?
2023 #9 Ole Miss
2023 #8 Missouri
2022 #6Tennessee
2021 #1 Alabama
2019 #6 UF
2018 #6 UF
2018 #11 UK
2017 #10 AU

2013 #4 USC
2012 #9 UF
2006 #8 AU


That entire list is basically dumpster fire Florida, Kentucky, and Auburn. You're not helping your case. The Bama win was a mulligan game, and Bama was genuinely decimated by injuries.

Kirby is 1-6 Vs Bama during your all time greatest run - that's comical

I don't believe there is any doubt that with Metchie & Williams, Alabama sweeps Georgia that year. That Alabama offense was a matchup nightmare for that defense.

In the NCG, Alabama had receivers running open and Young was hitting the receivers in the hands, they just kept dropping the ball.

I do not believe Alabama would have beaten Georgia in 2022 had they played in the SEC Championship Game. Alabama didn't have the receivers to beat Georgia.


Oh I'm not disagreeing one bit and will forever be salty over that one. We dominated them a month prior and Metchie/Williams were two of our three best players. I remember the catch Metchie made in triple coverage against them that was just insane - something Hall couldn't do when he was wide open.

It was just shite luck on our part but I still can't discredit UGA for what they've done since 2021 and in retrospect, they've also had a couple games against us that we had absolutely no business winning to be honest.

I just have to respectfully disagree with OP's assessment. UGA is the real deal and we've been fortunate enough to be their kryptonite. As long as Kirby is the coach, they will continue to dominate no matter who else they play.

I live in Peachtree City and have a lot of Bulldog friends so it hasn't been easy since Saban retired But regardless, I still can't discredit the program like OP is doing as UGA is the real deal. It's foolish for anyone to say otherwise. People said the same about us for years. Haters come with success.

The point the OP made was that UGA has not played a legit SEC team since 2005. The teams I listed may be dumpster fires now, but those teams were legit at the time they played.

No, Alabama lost a regular season game in 11 of Saban’s last 16 years.

Stated another way, he had 5 undefeated regular seasons. All in the the toughest division in college football history. UGA played in one of the softer divisions. Not one program has been a top 15 program since he’s been there.

Saban had to fight off a top 5 program in LSU for many years, AU had a good program at times, even Ark during the Petrino years, A&M during the Manzel years, MSU was good with Mullen, OM with Freeze & money. The West was often a load, the East never. UT and UF both had a few MSU/A&M type years and that was it.

I get we're all fans and shaded towards our teams, but you're talking out both sides of your mouth. One the one hand, UGA hasn't faced a consistent top 15 in your opinion but then you turn around and list a bunch of teams that outside of LSU aren't a consistent top 15 program

UGA is an outstanding football team. They thought that Big G on their helmet was going to mean more than it did (with Nick eating chicken wings with Terry).

#17 on defense for UGA is a Hoss.

I will be surprised if they lose another game,
