Don't think Georgia gets in the playoffs in 12 with 2 losses, especially with a 28 point loss to SC on their resume.

64 team probably doesn't win the NC, they lost to Texas in the bowl. 66 team would have had a shot at it.

Bama probably wouldn't have won the NC in the early 70s, they lost to ND in the bowl that year.

Not sure about 92, especially if they had to play FSU, before Miami.

Bama likely wins the 13 National Title.

Don't think the 08 team beats OU or Florida in the playoffs.

94 team makes the playoffs, but no chance at beating Nebraska.

Bowden's prime FSU teams usually peaked in the latter part of the season. Beating them and Miami B2B would have been a tall order.

Bama was sky high against Miami in '92 being a hungry underdog with a month long emotional / strategic build up playing in a stadium in SEC country. Wedge FSU in there somewhere and it would have tough enough just to have won that game much less carry the same energy into the Miami game that we saw in the Superdome.

I think beating Florida twice in '09 would have been tough for some of the same reasons. Alabama was waiting on that game for a year, was emotionally high, and played near perfect.

Alabama's usually come through when it's had the legitimate best team in the country, so I can't think of many seasons since I was old enough to follow closely (born in '78) that Alabama didn't win the national title when it should have.
