re: Georgia and Alabama are #1 and #2 in the conference in total defense

THAT'S NOT EVEN WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

In a twisted way, it is. We are, in a way, talking about which team is better and why, are we not? Isn't the argument that Alabama's 2/3's have played a lot, so your statistics would be even better than they are? Our point is....so would ours. In short, I would say the statistics are probably skewed for both teams close to the same. Things tend to even out.

None of this has anything to do with Bama having some mythical advantage because our backups play a lot.

The advantage Alabama has is certainly not mythical. Crap. It's coaching and players. But lets not pretend that the statistic angle has not bearing on an argument as to which team is stronger. Otherwise, why bring up statistics at all? It is to prove, or disprove that one team is superior to the other. And, it's legitimate. I don't think anybody would argue that Georgia is better than Alabama. but we would bring up statistics to show how good we are....Alabama would bring up statistics for the same reason. If not.....why talk statistics at all?
