I have said many times UGA was the best team. Even thought so after the SECCG. With that said, UGA had some injuries, not injuries to 2 of the best players in America.

UGA was the better team though and frankly they were all last season. We caught UGA on a very down night in Atlanta.

Alabama had a very narrow path to victory and it had to include Metchie and Williams. Once Metchie went down in Atlanta our offense slowed and then Williams went down and we were in trouble. That's because our depth wasn't great, we were replacing a ton of starters already on offense from the 2020 team and all in all we were a very good team but a very flawed team. Injuries happen in football. We just didn't have the firepower elsewhere to make up for their losses, which is part of it. Is what it is, wasn't one of our best teams. They fought through a lot of stuff and ended up having a really nice season, but the flaws showed themselves quite frequently during the year. A lot of those guys are back this year and get to try and take that next step and finish the job.

Georgia won the 2021 national title and they earned it with a great season. Cheers.

I think most rational people that can remove their fandom and look at things from a big picture view would agree. I wish more bama fans shared your reasoning skills.

We had a DB that was an All American in 2021 that was not able to play in the game, and an All American edge rusher that was our best defensive player the first half of the season that didnt' paly either. Maybe your guys were "better" than our 2, but the point is we had to adjust and plug in other guys. Maybeif we had those guys the 1st game doesn't go like it did, who knows? It's big time CFB, guys get hurt and you've gotta replace them.
