4 and only 4 teams decided to play football in '43, no time for the war effort and stuff.
Hint: 2 of them are Georgia Tech and Tulane, the other 2 are still in the SEC.

I wonder why this upsets Georgia and LSU fans? It's just a trivia question.

Because they hate America and have been caught in their America-hating ways.

Georgia, Vandy, and LSU all played games.
Lots of people like to point to that as some sort of "unpatriotic act", except Georgia and LSU played with freshmen (too young for the draft) and transfers...
Vandy played 5 games, but with no SEC opponents.
Tech filled out their complete 10 game schedule, but this was because they actually had a real team. There was a naval training initiative called V12 designed to get more college educated officers... those players largely consisted of players that would otherwise have still been playing for other top programs (including Bama, Clemson, and Vandy among others).
UGA (at least last I checked) does not count the 43 and 44 games against Tech.
Unsure about Tulane...

Its mid-november, save trivia for the offseason. Would much rather talk about how irrelevant Aggie/Auburn is right now. Or how LSU lost to UF/Bama but is still somehow ranked #7 in the country.

Athens is filled to the brim with soy, and LSU fans are essentially west coast libs with all their complaining and protesting.
As opposed to Tennessee, who’s head coach was fightin Japs and Nazis, and Aggie, who sent soldiers over by the boatload

“In my opinion, George Poschner is perhaps the greatest competitor of all time, both on and off the field. I have never known anyone with more courage on the football or the battlefield”. – Frank Sinkwich
When Georgia lured Frank Sinkwich out of Youngstown, Ohio, he brought along his friend George Poschner. It worked out pretty well for Georgia: Sinkwich won the 1942 Heisman Trophy, and Poschner, his left end, became his favorite receiver. He caught two fourth-quarter touchdowns in the 21-10 defeat of Alabama, a game that Georgia coach Wally Butts once identified as his greatest day in football. In the 1943 Rose Bowl, the Bulldogs dominated UCLA in a 9-0 victory. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Poschner broke up a scoreless game by bursting through the line to block a UCLA punt out of the end zone. The war beckoned, and in January 1945, in the Battle of the Bulge, Lt. Poschner led his unit up a hill to dislodge some Germans. With a submachine gun, he killed or wounded as many as 20 enemy soldiers before a German sniper shot him in the head. Poschner remained buried in a snow drift for three days as the Americans and Germans traded the area where he lay. When the graves registration unit found him, someone saw his eyes flicker. By the time he could be evacuated, frostbite would take both his legs and the fingers of his right hand, and his left side was paralyzed. Poschner received the Distinguished Service Cross and the Bronze Star for his service. Football had lost a star, but gained a hero. — Ivan Maisel

So Vandy can join the list. Good for them. I notice they didn't play any SEC games in 1944 either and I commended them for focusing on the war effort. Looks like they were bigger pussies than the Louisiana and Georgia schools.
