This feels a lot like UCF claiming to be national champs. We all know its not true so please stop patronizing us. I'd love to see a clip (any clip) of anyone predicting UGA to be anything less than 11-2. If you can't produce any evidence of being doubted then STFU. This honestly makes y'all look so fricking weak.

On this flip side, how tf did Kirby get these grown men to believe in such a comical lie? I think this might be the greatest brainwash job since Hitler and Goebels brainwashed Germany.

Good Lord, you are back to back National champs. Stop acting like scorned lovers and act like the champions your record says that you are.

Eh, nobody thought they'd do this. They were clearly picked behind Alabama and Ohio State.

Nobody thought they'd go 7-5 but nobody really thought they'd win the title either.

It's psychology. Get your team motivated by playing as underdogs.

What a weird thing to be upset about. Doesn’t make them look weak at all.

Everybody is better off when you pretend someone is doubting you. Even if it’s not true.

We had Stetson Bennett coming back (many thought he was a game manager) and we lost a historic number of players to the draft. A lot of people were thinking we would take a step back after last season and weren't picking us to repeat.

I don't think anyone thought we would be hot garbage this season, but Kirby and company knew what we had and others didn't believe it.

Mostly, it was being picked behind Bama. That's a pretty big deal being in the same conference.
Being behind Ohio by every voter added to it .

On message boards, it was people saying that Stetson didn't win the national championship in 2021. And he would be exposed in 2022 without Pickens, Burton, Cook/Zeus. There is a brotherhood in Athens. Even the defense took offense to the knock on Stetson. UGA was more pissed off in the 2022 preseason than any prior national champion.

After losing so many to the NFL, I doubted us.

They likely viewed Tennessee being number 1 as disrespect.

UGA will do it however they want. In Kirby we trust. We the fans don't give a shite what some weak arse LSU fricktard thinks. Have a great day.

We can't all be as classy as LSU fans after a championship.

Last season we were told we could not win with Stetson Bennett as our QB

Last year we were told we only won because Alabama had injuries.

This season we were told that Alabama was rebuilding last year and this year was going to be their year.

This year we were also told that we lost too much off our defense and our offense is pedestrian, so we would lose (at least) two games.

This year we were told that we had not played anybody and when we did we would lose bigly.

Yes, we are. It's nice to finally have someone on the Rant acknowledge that. Now, go check out some threads and see how many people are still doubting us.

I mean, acting like people were doubting us? You don't spend much time on this board, do you?

The disrespect/doubt narrative from the program picked up a lot when UT was ranked #1 in the initial playoff rankings despite UGA being undefeated.

That was pretty much a layup for Smart to derive motivation from that, honestly.

The only thing is dumb is Georgia fans constantly saying this was a rebuilding year lol

You might have lost a ton to the draft last year, but the top teams in college each year are reloading.
