Does UGA actually claim this?


We were consensus national champs, as in, more than half of selectors chose us.

This feels similar to UCF's claimed title.


not even close my friend. UGA went 10-1 losing to AU then ended the year beating a top 3 GT and blanking UCLA in the rose bowl. OSu went 9-1 losing to wisconsin and didn't play in a bowl. In those archaic days they awarded titles before bowls were even played, but objectively UGA had the better season so we are well within reason to claim it. This isn't like bama's 1941 BS.

FTR, there are other years that we ABSO-lutely COULD claim, but don't. 1946 being a prime example since we went undefeated. Didn't lose all year. But we dont' claim it because other teams also had valid claims as well. Just pointing out that we aren't claiming any random willy nilly year we want.

None of which were taken seriously and most created decades after the season played out.

Again-

Berryman, Billingsley, DeVold, Houlgate, Litkenhous, Sagarin, Sagarin (ELO-Chess), Williamson

Not trolling you, but you can't really be serious, can you?

Ohio State is the team the rest of the world recognizes as the 1942 champion.
