Despite being humiliated against Georgia in the SEC title game, then having to watch their two rivals they beat play for the national title because they couldn’t hang adding insult to injury, is being ranked number 2 going into the SEC title game good enough for a national title claim?

Again, asking for a friend.

Did we claim it that year? So much going on, I can’t keep up.

I honestly do not know. By all Auburn metrics, I assume they have.

It was the most Auburn thing ever to happen to Auburn. They should hang a banner.

If KJ was healthy I think we beat Georgia in Atlanta.

No, I believe UCF claims a title for beating you guys in the Peach Bowl though.

Far and away the toughest schedule. Injury to our most important player of the hot streak. Are you sucking off Georgia for no reason or just making a dumb joke that makes no logical sense.

Did they see if Auburn wanted to claim it first anyway?

No, no, no. That title belongs to UCF.

How is mentioning the worst moment in modern Georgia football history sucking off Georgia?

You are correct about one thing: claiming random national titles decades later does not make logical sense.

It was after those games that the barners decided to make the Gus Bus the 4th highest paid head coach in the land.

Saban gifted them the game by playing Hurts instead of Tua.
