Doesn't change it was a NC, but if you are going to compare it against another, then it's a factor.


They both had key injuries. So than it’s just speculation. Which is just that. Speculation. I do not believe 2016 Clemson beats Bama with a healthy Eddie Jackson. And you do not believe 2021 UGA beats bama with a healthy Metchie and Williams.

As opposed to comparing strength of schedule. Or statistics. Where Georgia 2021 is better than Clemson 2016 in every metric. No speculation needed with hard data since every year, championship teams win despite losing key players. Because, it’s a part of the game.

But it doesn't matter, they both won. It's only being mentioned here as a measure of difficulty.

Georgia usually played pretty weak schedules for an SEC team.

Agreed, and it was still objectively stronger than Clemson’s schedule in 2016. Much stronger actually. UGA was 26th. Clemson’s was 47th.

A speculative, subjective measurement of difficulty. Which kind of throws a debate with data and figures out the window.

horseshite. Clemson played a strong arse fsu, Louisville, auburn and a decent Pitt(beat natty champs, big ten champs, and lost on the last play to big 12 runner ups). Ugas schedule wqs putrid in 2021. Played bama and either tenner or dju Clem was next toughest opponent. Put the drugs down

Are you one of those people who thinks that the 2020 season doesn't count?

Lies, I'm a student there now. They don't have enough room for people on campus anymore and have been rejecting tons of people. The demand is through the roof

UGA defeated 3 teams that finished ranked in the top 20 in the regular season in 2021.

Clemson defeated 1 team that finished ranked in the top 25 in the regular season in 2016.

UGA’s 1 loss was to CFP #1 12-1 Alabama.

Clemson’s 1 loss was to 8-5 unranked Pitt at home.

UGA’s strength of schedule was 26th in 2021.

Clemson’s strength of schedule was 47th jn 2016.

Every measurable metric has Georgia with a more impressive season in wins and losses and end of season strength of schedule was higher. Sit this one out.

Without even looking I can tell you’re missing the assignment. Louisville(heisman winner) fsu(orange bowl winner) and auburn all finished in the top 25. So where are getting your misinformation from before I check how stupid the rest of your “facts” are

The best team 21 uga beat all season was dju Clemson, a team whose offensive production couldnt crack the fbs top 100. Seriously worst regular season schedule of any playoff era champ.

Well, it's been half a decade since anyone won a legitimate college football national title. The sport has been semi-pro since 2021.


This is just odd to hear from an Alabama fan at this time.

I do not think we would have heard this from yall 10 years ago.

Lol sorry I forgot a 5 loss Auburn team finished ranked. Your argument really falls on an 8-5 Auburn team making Clemson’s schedule harder? They still had a worse SOS. Lmao what a retard

Georgia beat MORE teams that finished ranked and the final rankings AND their strength of schedule was 26th to Clemson’s 47th

I’m so confused how you can argue Clemson had the harder schedule when their SOS was so weak it barely cracked the top 50 and Georgia won more games against teams finished ranked

You sure about that? Or is this just another of many made up points in your fictional argument. They both beat 6, uga 3 in regular season 3 in the post season. How do you call someone retarded when you can’t even count to six lol
