I disagree, you cannot replace elite talent. There is a reason each player starts over their replacement and that is talent or experience or both.
This is a comical take coming from an Ohio State fan.
THE reason. Not A Reason, But THE Reason why Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, etc have been in the CFP most years, and why Alabama has been the King of College Football since 2008, is because of the massive collection of elite football players on their roster.
Being in the top 3 in recruiting almost every year (like Alabama) means that their team can withstand injuries far better than any other program.
Almost all SEC teams have elite starting talent. What differentiates Alabama (and Georgia the past 4 years) is the massive amount of elite talent throughout their entire roster.
Whenever a 5 star starter goes down, they insert another 5 star to replace him. Whenever (insert any team here) has a 5 star, or high 4 star starter go down, they have a 3 star replacing him.
That’s THE reason Bama has been a championship program. It’s Why Ohio State rules the Big Ten. Your roster is full of 5 star and high 4 star talent. Penn State has 4 & 5 star starters, but when injuries start accumulating, they aren’t replacing them with 5 and high 4 stars like Ohio State is.

Cowards - and sore losers. In other words Bama.
If Georgia was healthier - and I’m not saying they were - well good for them. Better conditioning and playing smart probably was the reason. Kirby doesn’t normally discuss injuries unless the media puts him on the spot and even then he is as evasive as a UGA tight end. With the Hippa laws that’s probably best. Besides why tell your opponent who is going to be out or playing hurt.

No. And that’s a part of the fricking game. Jesus Christ how are you people not getting This? lmao

Georgia has top nationally recruited QBs stacked up like cordwood on the bench. We would have missed Stetson but our remaining QBs are more than good. We would have been ok

This^. Saban literally invented stock piling talent and Bama fans still doesn’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. When their team has injuries and STILL win bc they recruited well enough to overcome the injury they scream “ROLL TIDE” and when they lose they scream “the injuries!”
They’re here to clap their hands and yell Roll Tide but ask them to reverse engineer how a great program is made and they shite themselves lmao

This is a foolish hypothetical to play. You have no idea if Georgia would’ve won with their back up QB. Better to stick with your original argument than delve into impossible hypotheticals that are purely subjective to your biased opinion as a Georgia fan.

Georgia lost to Bama in the 2017 Natty on a freak play that was a one in a thousand shot. I don’t remember anyone wearing red and black whining about injuries or the refs. Georgia sucked it up and got better.

"Depth and injuries are two different topics"...huh? I give up talking to you dude, because you just showed that you know NOTHING about the game of football. Teams overcome injuries BECAUSE of depth! They are NOT different topics.
Championship teams have championship depth. Bama has a pension to whine when they lose and blame it on injuries. But you don't hear UGA fans whining. First off, because we're not losing much these day, second of all, we have a ball sack.

"most of the time..." that's a load of crap. There are still some Bama fans, on this forum mainly, that whine about injuries everytime Bama loses. And in the NC game with UGA, you are completely ignoring the fact that UGA had injuries. Heck, we had injuries all year long, why do you think Bennett was even playing?...JT Daniels was hurt. Bowers and Mitchell, those 2 guys that caught those TD passes in the 4th quarter became starters because of injuries.
I love the saying; Championship teams have championship depth. But do you wanna hear the irony here? It was a Bama friend of mine that told me that. Actually, he wasn't telling me that, he was telling another Bama fan that to get him to shut up about the Metchie Williams injuries. So that tells me that not ALL Bama fans have Chronic Fagometric Vaginosis. Some of you are like UGA fans; You are man enough to admit you got beat by a better team, and you actually have a ball sack.

You had 2 starters out injured. A DB and an OG. Bama had both starting corners, an OLB, both wrs, a center, and lost their best DL in the 2nd half. Georgia actually had injuries that helped them. Losing JTD helped Georgia.
Alabama was missing a lot of talent in that game and was at a huge disadvantage. Georgia fans will never admit it but that was a big reason they won.

That's absurd. Of course, they are different topics. Teams don't have to overcome injuries if they aren't many.

UGA had proven that they could not cover Bama's starting WRs and when both went out, it brought the game down to a toss-up. UGA won the game, so be happy.
I have said a few times that Alabama was lucky to have won some games where they should have lost ( UTk and UTx in 2009 for example, Clemson in 2015, etc.) So stop being so sensitive.

Lmao y’all lost to 7-5 A&M with a healthy squad. So you guys lose every time you play them? Lol dude it’s not a video game you child.
Georgia beat the brakes off of Arkansas, Us, and Auburn. Bama barely beat Auburn, Arkansas and Florida. I don’t understand how the transitive property applies to Bama when it’s beneficial but doesn’t when it hurts your points lmao. This is like talking to a little kid.
Wow, just wow you have no clue about what happens in football do you?
Just in case you missed it, Alabama beat the brakes off UGA in the SECCG and barely lost in the CFPCG. The difference, Alabama was missing its two starting WRs. Even with that, Alabama still had the ball and the lead with less than 9 minutes to go.
Congrats to UGA though.

Wrong again. BAMA would have been screwed if they had to deal with what we dealt with. They didn’t have the depth needed behind Bryce and will Anderson. Uga did.
I do not know about that. I do know that UGA could not cover Alabama's starting WRs in the SECCG and could barely cover their replacements in the CFPCG.
But congrats on being able to take advantage of those injuries.

A “healthy” Alabama team couldn’t beat Texas A&M. Or avoid single possession wins over LSU, Florida, Auburn, and Arkansas. Hell if Tank Bigsby can fall down in bounds they have 2 losses and are out of the playoff before the SECC.
UGA was the best team over the course of 2021 and it’s not debatable.
Yet that best team got whipped by Bama in the SECCG and barely beat Bama in the CFPCG.
So no, UGA was not the best team in 2021

What it does clearly suggest is UGA made a schematic error in the SECC, corrected it, and won as expected
Both game showed that UGA could not cover Alabama's starting WRs.
Alabama led at half time in both games, never trailed after the half in the SECCG and led in the 4th in the CFPCG. You think that UGA made a "schematic error in the SECC, and corrected it" if they were losing in the 4th?
Difference in the two games, Bama had their starting WRs in the first but had neither in the second half of the second.
