I remember a couple of Sugar Bowls where Alabama forgot to show up for.

Utah and Oklahoma games weren't that long ago, and Saban was on the sidelines for both...it can happen to any team if they lose focus.

regular bowl games have taken a hit since the playoff era began. teams with a point to make generally play better. teams disappointed in conference championships generally play worse....unless you’re notre dame, who plays worse with consistency.

Kirby was there too. Maybe it’s just him.

I agree with the OP, but UGA’s problem is their tweets between Saturday night and last night regarding the teams in the CFP.
Those tweets don’t happen, the Texas loss stings less for them.

And with players sitting the bowl games out now, you never know what will happen. A good team can get stomped by an inferior team. An expanded playoff is needed to make more matchups meaningful.

Utah just straight up beat us. They had more team speed than we did and Kirby has always had problems stopping that type of offense (and still does)
The Oklahoma game we didn't really show up.

LSU went to both expecting to sleepwalk to victory, and lost both times

I was at the Utah game. That was just depressing.

The CFP changed everything with Bowl games, and it is now even worse with players sitting out. That number will continue to grow, as players just decide its not worth the possibility of injury Only exception will be playoff games
They are actually more like what they were initially like back when they awarded the championship at the end of the regular season. Exhibition games to get younger guys some snaps before taking off for the off season and to have some fun and try to flex on teams you wouldn't normally get to play.
I'm not saying I like it, but it is what it is unfortunately

The SEC will move to cancel its Sugar Bowl arrangement with the BIG XII real soon. Book it.

Yeah, and we all laughed then too. Shut up and laugh at Georgia. 
And I'm not sure Bama players talked as much shite before those losses as Georgia did. That, and the fans crying over not making the playoffs.

Not showing up for "non-title games" is semi-acceptable when it happens 2 times in a decade and is sandwiched between winning 6 national titles.......and it still pisses me off when I think about it.
If you are going to show up flat in non-title games you better be winning a bunch of titles in the other years.

Being disappointed for the Oklahoma game I get Bama had won three national titles and was one play away from going again. Georgia’s not there yet and if they think they are they need a new perspective.

Very true. But it doesn’t excuse it, does it? The guy on Game Day (Bear?) noted that say what you will about Orgeron’s perceived x’s and o’s acumen, he has his team ready to play (like yesterday).

Texas is a good team that is quickly getting better and better with a proven good coach. With no other games to be played, Ehlinger ran the ball really hard sacrificing his body for a lot of tough yards that moved the chains and got points. He was the difference in the game.

I disagree on the didn't show up scenario . Bama maybe was disappointed in 2008 after having a great season, but the D was made to stop the power run game, not the spread. Granted, the team didn't show much heart against Utah, but OK spanked that arse and caused coach Saban to further evolve his defensive philosophy.
Both loses helped Coach Saban build his dynasty. It's a testament to what a great coach he is.
