For the young, 3 year old decade of the 2020s, he has;
1. Bama 2. Ohio st 3. UGA

Uh, ok. So, UGA has won 2 of the 3 season NCs, beat both of those teams along the way, and we're ranked #3 behind them? I didn't read all the ridiculous math behind his rankings, maybe someone can explain it to me, but I'm actually embarrassed for this guy for putting something like this out there for someone who actually claims to be a professional journalist.

1. Why didn't you post the link so someone could possibly "read all the math behind his ridiculous rankings"? 2. Why do you need his validation, you've won 2 Championships in a row and played for a 3rd all in the last 5 years. It's been a solid run. I think most Ohio state fans would change places with you.

Why even rank the 2020s after only three seasons but if you do it's Georgia and then Bama. Osu isn't even the third best team of the 2020s

Doesn't put nearly enough weight on NC's. UGA should easily be #1 this decade.

And I'm sure most in front of LSU in the 2000's would trade hardware with us.

This guy is an idiot. Obviously on the Bama and THE osu payroll.

UGA ranked #1 among best teams of the last two seasons

S/B

1) UGA
2) Bama

Not sure how Ohio St plays into any equation.

By reading the explanation, he goes by where all the teams ranked each year of the time span. And the ranking for the team is reached by adding the offence rankings and the defense rankings for each year.

quote:

Five best teams: 2020 Alabama (99.7), 2022 Georgia (99.4), 2021 Georgia (99.3), 2022 Michigan (98.9), 2022 Alabama (98.9)

Five best offenses: 2020 Alabama (99.9), 2020 Ohio State (99.2), 2021 Ohio State (98.8), 2021 Alabama (98.7), 2020 Florida (98.7)

Five best defenses: 2021 Georgia (99.0), 2022 Iowa (98.9), 2022 Georgia (98.5), 2020 Iowa (98.4), 2022 Illinois (98.4)

Alabama's 2020 perfection (and Georgia's 2020 flaws) give the Tide a narrow overall advantage despite Georgia's back-to-back titles. We'll see if that remains the case moving forward.

He’s got Iowa in the top 10, they went 6-2, 10-4, 8-5 and never finished a single season ranked in the top 10..

So the decade is 3 years old, UGA has 2 of the 3 titles and they’re….third? Makes sense

Someone sounds insecure. A clear giveaway that you're a Georgia fan.
