What are you doing to celebrate Nick saban retired from bama day coming up in January
that seems more of an LSU kinda holiday.
I guess I "get it" though...if Mark Richt left UGA after 2005 then won a frickton of titles at Florida I'd still be salty about it 20 years later too.

2021 Georgiai would beat the everloving shite out of 2023 Michigan.
-1,2,3,5,6 I have no issues being up there in some sort of order.
-2018 bama might should be higher. 2018 bama should undoubtedly be above 2017 bama. I think people have forgotten that the 2018 bama team might have gone done as one of the best teams ever if not for the last 60 minutes.
-Similar story for 2016 bama. Many bama fans will tell you 2016 may have been their best defense ever and one of their best assembled rosters ever, but they don't get the recognition they maybe should because they ended up not winning the title.
-2022 OSU maybe should be higher. They would have sleepwalked to a 20+ win over TCU in teh title game. That was a damn good team that only doesn't get their due praise beucase they lost in the semis to what just happened to be a better team. But at first glance I'd be surprised if there were 23 better teams in the playoff era
-I said it earlier but the most egregious part of this is 2017 OU being so low. That team would have almost surely beaten bama in the title game. Baker mayfield, a 1200yd rusher and a 700 yard rusher, Marquise Brown, Ceedee Lamb, Mark Andrews...just hell on wheels on offense.
-And lastly, I think it's funny but extremely apporpriate and fitting that the 3 lowest teams in this thing are all teams that made this year's edition.

That's not how you do these things.
Tua torched you in one half of football because Kirby has no answer for the vertical passing game. (still doesn't) Same way Bryce torched your supposed 'Generational' defense in the SEC Championship game. You can deny this all you want but we've actually seen the results. If Tua plays that whole 2017 National Championship Game he likely has 450 to 500 yards passing and 4 or 5 TD's. You lost with him playing on one half of football

man how shitty must your coaching staff have been to leave him on the bench all year amirite?

LMAO…ESPN have always been homers for the SEC and Alabama.
ESPN talking heads anointed 2018 Bama as better than some NFL teams…now that’s truly embarrassing.

You L O S T to a guy who came off the bench and torched your Defense in the 2nd Half. There is nothing to debate here. If we leave Jalen in that Game we likely don't score a point. Heck, I'm not sure Jalen could score on Georgia if that game was 8 quarters.

Was a huge issue practically from mid season on between Daboll and Saban. Daboll wanted Jalen replaced and Saban didn't. Its one reason Daboll was only our OC one year he and Saban did not get along at all over that lone issue. Sucks you guys lost but Tua absolutely lit you guys up in only one half plus an OT.

and what exactly does that have to do with their ranking in the OP?

Look who the author of the article is, some idiot from Mizzou who has his panties all wadded up because LSU got a coach back from them. 2020 bama? For real?

Your Defense had a huge weakness against the vertical passing game for one. Shame you didn't have a better QB than Fromm as well? There's several reasons. Why would a team that LOST be ranked high?

We went 11-0 and outscored our SEC opponents 547 to 214. They won just about every player award, 18 postseason awards. 8 All-Americans. 13 All-SEC. Computers, ESPN, USA Today all rank them the greatest team. No team will ever accomplish that again.
Even more amazing you beat a 6 win team for the national title and played away games at 1/5th capacity.
Who could ever forget the greatest team of all time and their harrowing journey in Death Valley with 16,000 fans on top of them screaming at 1/10th of the decibel level they normally produce. fricking idiots lol

I can't tell if you just ramble whatever thoughts come straight to your head regardless of what the actual discussion topic is, are just a low level troll, or have some kind of developmental delay. Any one of those though is annoying to deal with so I'll bow out of this.

Yeah I would as well when looking at all the data involved. Our 2018 team was great but we got destroyed by lil ole Clemson so they don't get the accolades either. That's just how it is.

Another latest is the greatest poll
Posted on 12/11/24 at 11:50 am to PuertoRicanBlaze
I'd definitely put the 2019 LSU squad ahead of 2020 Alabama.

Imagine the amount of time they spent deciding between #51 vs #49.
No one cares, and it doesn't matter.
