So Saban lost the game with his decision to call that timeout which gave AU the chance to return the kick....

....but CMR DIDN'T lose the game with his squib kick decision?

I've enjoyed screwing with you guys on this and don't really care ......but that's just ridiculous.

Not ridiculous because they were two different outcomes.

Saban's decision to go for the FG literally lost the game because that one call, that one play was the play that let Auburn into the end zone; the game was over immediately following that play.

Richt's decision to squib kick the ball did not result in any points on that play and there were two additional plays afterwards that could have prevented points from going on the board. And even if you still blame the decision to pooch the kick on the eventual FG and tie, that's all you can do. It did not lose the game, but only tied the game, sending it to overtime where lack execution on offense and defense led to the eventual loss.
