No one disputes that Georgia won the NC. I just disagree that they were the best team. That's all.

The advanced stats make it very clear uga was both the best and the champ.

The basic stats also show the same thing, but that’s probably not as funny.

SECCG didn’t matter too much. Both teams in top four and stayed there.

Negative ghost rider. The best thing that happened to Georgia was Bama losing their one and two receivers. Even with the pressure Bryce still made more than enough throws to receivers who just could not catch the ball.

All of the uga injuries were the best thing that happened to bama though, so quiet down.

UGA’s offense was third in points per drive. How is that mediocre?
I think his point isn't that it wasn't way up there with the league. It's that there's always a 3rd place to claim, or a 1st place... but if the league were only as good as JV, then it still sucks.
So, yes, by comparison to the field of teams in the league this year, UGA was elite.

It was elite based on historical standards.

Alabama kicked UGA’s arse
UGA kicked Bama’s arse
It’s really a fricking draw.

Bama had their back against the wall, Saban showed in the SECCG why hes the best.
Was win or go home for UA and Dawgs honestly had a cushion, we were in either way.
2 evenly matched teams and we got em the 2nd time around...

Losing any game is never the best thing for any team.

Below is why UGA lost the SECCG.
The result hinged on Kirby’s defensive approach.
Saban’s likely thought process planning for the first game: Kirby is going to drive full speed with the d-line into the gaps and try to wreak havoc with blitz pressure from all over, just like he had done all year. Therefore, he challenge his OL and plannee extra help blocking with RBs and TEs.
Kirby’s actual plan: we need to contain Young and avoid him burning us with his mobility and play DBs off the ball to keep everything in front. We will not rush the gaps with our DL but will maintain gap control and clog escape lanes for Young. Pressure will come from the LBs slipping through cracks in the A and B gaps.
What happened: Bama and UGA displayed a dance show at the LOS and Sabans prep for the all out rush with extra protection played out better than even he could have expected. UGAs rush was almost always stoned due to the dance show congestion and the extra protection. Young had even more time to find his WRs running rampant through UGAs zone coverage.
Double backfire on Kirby. Pure fortune for Saban that he prepared for one scenario that ended up being even more beneficial with Kirby’s complete 180 turn from what had been effective all season. One can review any UGA game during the regular season to see the stark contrast in scheme between what they did all year vs the SECCG. IMO, the UGA staff bunked that game plan by overthinking it instead of trusting what had worked all season.
CFPCG: UGA reverted back to what worked all season. They went all out with the front 7 and played man and press far more often. If Young could have exploited what UGA did best, tip the cap. But they couldn’t give him the time to sit in the pocket and pick your DBs apart.
Kirby made the decision to go for it and attack Young and that is why they won and kicked the shite out of Bama 20-0 in the 4th quarter.

Does beating Georgia Southern, Northwestern State or Utah State in 2018 say your team is that much better than Alabama in 2020, for instance?
Let’s just forget LSU beat 7 top 10 teams, the preseason top 4, the defending NC, the prior runner up in their stadium, and didn’t face a team down players due to a stupid endemic and all were without staff turnover or opt outs.
Nor did they face a team with only 7 wins in a NC.
So yes, LSU 2019 was better than Alabama 2020 by a LARGE margin in that the season actually counted towards eligibility.
Y’all seem to forget certain details yet concentrate on Ole Miss and 600 yds rushing. a game LSU still won by 21.

I wasn't belittling LSU. Just wondering why it is so important to be the only team to go 15-0.
You had a great year. Congratulations. But you guys act like that 15th win means something.
Alabama played a 10 game SEC schedule. They did something LSU did not do. Does that make their team any better or any worse than it was? No. 2020 Alabama did not have any weak OOC teams. they played 10 SEC teams, the SECCG and two playoff teams.
The biggest difference is LSU played 3-4 OOC games.

Sounds like a recruiting problem to me.

We barely won by 2 touchdowns
Or am I cherry-picking the final score
