I honestly believe we broke Auburn in that SECCG. they now live in a fantasy world in which Notre Dame beat Georgia. It absolutely boggles the mind. They can't accept that we played for the National Championship while they were getting beat by UCF.

When would UGA play Bama in December ? We know that AU beat both team and would have represented the West, and UGA would get the rematch in the SECCG.

No what I am saying is it was a thin line with UGA. Their schedule didn't help them and the fact they got their arse whipped by AU in the first game. You want to beat your chest, but in reality it wasn't much difference than what Richt accomplished.

We also know that Georgia beat Notre Dame, but that doesn't stop you from trying to rewrite history.

Okay. Which means we needed to win at least 11 out of 12 regular season games. Which....we did.

For some strange reason 2013 was a huge deal to Auburn fans while 2017 was only a fair year for Georgia and we were lucky. Never mind it was Auburn that needed all the breaks to play for their National Championship game, and we did exactly what was needed to play in ours......and we beat almost every opponent to death to make it. Yes, Auburn beat a lackluster, seemingly uninterested Georgia team in a game that ultimately had no effect on our destiny. But we came back when it mattered to Auburn by almost the same margin when a win or loss actually mattered.

If we beat auburn in November, we likely play Bama in December, and likely win vs 4 q’s of jalen hurts.

As it is for nearly every team that wins a championship.

I do not believe UGA will be awarded the Mulligans that Bama has recieved,
Bama hasreceived no mulligans. They are held to a higher standard by some fans. Name one time when a great argument could not be made for Alabama to make the playoff when they did. There is not one.
quote:
Even under Saban, Bama has only gone undefeated one time
There have been 3 undefeated NCs in the last 12 years. Bama has one of them, but that was probably the 5th best team Bama has fielded under Saban. Bama's has 4 or 5 of the top 10 toughest schedules in college football history in the last 10 years.
Btw, Bama has gone undefeated 3 times in the reg season under Saban. That's as many as the rest of the SEC combined these last 10 seasons. Bama has lost more than 1 regular season game 1 time in the last 10 years.

A mulligan is getting a shot after a loss. An even bigger one is getting a shot without winning your conference. An even bigger one is getting a shot with 2 losses.

If you are comparing Auburn/Georgia then who do you see as Bama's counterpart in the East at this very moment?
Their permanent.
I’m taking every SEC West team and saying they are better than their permanent east team at this moment with the exception of Auburn who is equal to Georgia right now but if you took them over the last 10 years, Auburn is better. If Georgia and Auburn continue what they are doing now, the Auburn/Georgia games will be split 50/50ish over the next 10 years. Of course, that’s the way it should be when you have two schools that recruit at that level and put that much resources into the program.
And if you think Georgia is anywhere near at the level of Bama right now then you are a complete imbecile. Bama in on an unprecedented run that will never be matched again.

If that's how you define mulligan, I wouldn't. Then 13 of 16 (one of the 3 undefeateds was a weak FSU from a very weak ACC who was stomped in the first round) teams entered the CFP with a mulligan, including every champion. Being undefeated is nice, but means little. The number one seed has never won.

Conf championship is not a requirement, and not much of a consideration - nor should it be. Conferences are not close to being equal. Either way, it is plainly stated that it is not required. OSU and Bama both made it without winning their conf. No uproar with OSU, Bama haters' turned a dark shade of green. Bama healed up and performed well enough to win. Even Gus Malzahn said after the NC game that Alabama was the best team in the country.

Silly purple tiger. Uga has owned auburn for a long time now. Since Matt Stafford was a freshman to be exact.

No one said it was a requirement, but It would be a much bigger consideration for most teams other than Bama. I certainly don’t expect uga to ever get such a mulligan.

OK, if we hadn't blown a 20 point lead to LSU in Sept it would have mattered.

I wouldn't call getting beat by 23 points owning someone.

Can you think of a time when it was a primary factor in leaving someone out. I really think the perceived image of the SEC is as much a boost for Bama as Bama itself. I believe most SEC schools would get some benefit of the doubt, though maybe not as much as Bama. But Alabama has probably earned any benefit of the doubt that it receives. Would you not agree ?
Anyone who thinks Bama gets non-football bias in its favor from the CFP Committee is fooling themselves. There are few entities (other schools, fanbases, even the networks) who care about seeing Bama succeed at this point. The CFPC thinks that Bama deserves to be there. They could be mistaken, but they believe it.
Who really thinks that Wisconsin or OSU really deserved to make the playoff over Bama or that they were a better team ? IMO, not many who are objective. Wisc played no one and looked very pedestrian, OSU lost 2 games, including a 30+ blowout to a 7-5 team.

It should be the main consideration. Why play in a Conference otherwise. Again, the playoff committee should consider the 5 Conference Champions (or a top Independent) and decide which 4 are worthy of playing.

I wouldn't call getting beat by 21 owning someone either.

UGA has won something like 7 or 8 of the last 10 from AU. How can you say AU has been better? Yes, AU had a couple of high spikes, but UGA has been much more consistent but had the misfortune of having to play Bama at the wrong time. They are a hair away from 2 NCs. They also finished number 2 in '07. People who dismiss UGA are nuts. Yes, a little of it may be "not being able to close the deal", but IMO, it's more a matter of "time and chance", i.e., circumstances.
But no - AU and UGA haven't been equal, nor will they likely be. AU does an admirable job in between having to share a state with Alabama and fight off UGA, but UGA has distinct advantages over AU.

Big difference. Nobody from AU is saying that either. Getting beat by 12 doesn't qualify for that either.
