If Texas would've beat the shite out of Bama earlier in the season with Colt, it would've been a different argument.
The SEC championship and UGA being completely unable to cover Metchie and Williams in a blowout is the only reason this is even a discussion.
True, and it wasn't just "earlier in the season". It was only 1 game in between Alabama destroying Georgia, losing their 2 biggest offensive weapons, and then losing a nailbiter of a rematch.
It was such a thorough beatdown that many Georgia fans felt undeserving of the playoffs.

What's interesting is that in the SECCG, Bama was still averaging 11 yards per reception for all the receivers that were not named Metchie or Williams. Young was carving up our defense due to our defensive game plan, and we couldn't get pressure. In the rematch, all receivers not named Williams accounted for 10 yards per reception (and only ~60 yards less than the SECCG), but we dialed up pressure at the right moments which ended drives short of the end zone. That was the difference.
The excuses need to stop.

Yeah we just hate ourselves. I look at all of the national championship merchandise and pictures I took at the game, and I feel ashamed.

I love how Bama fans are now calling a 15 point loss a "nailbiter" while a 17 point win is "DESTROYING" the other team.
Man... two points makes a lot of difference I guess. Shame UGA didn't convert their two point conversion on the Adonai Mitchell TD. Then we'd have a "destruction" instead of a "nailbiter".
