I expect any of the SEC teams in the CFP could make a run.

You never know when a highly motivated team can get hot and get on a roll.

OSU did it last year after losing to MI.

That is your fallback coping statement. Change your user name to "broken record".

All I know is Georgia is 2-4 against Alabama this decade and the only way they've been able to win is when they get a rematch after Alabama sustains multiple major injuries.

Can you point me to the Georgia win that wasn't a rematch and didn't include major injuries for Alabama between them?

As far as the games themselves go, congrats on your wins. Injuries are part of the game and it's tough shite for Alabama.

But if you are trying extrapolate that into meanings beyond those rematches, then there isn't anything to support it and I'm not going to pretend like these factors aren't important.

I understand that is way too hard for most of you to understand, but I don't give a crap.


Can you point a finger to a time Alabama and UGA have ever played where both teams did not have some injuries? When UGA and Alabama played in Athens this season UGA had multiple players out and lost by 3 points. When Alabama lost to UGA in the 2021 National Championship Game UGAs starting QB was on the sideline with an injury. This is a simple fact of life in football in general and in the SEC in particular....this is why talented depth that is prepared to step up is important over the long haul. It is EXACTLY why playing the grind that is an SEC schedule is more difficult than playing in another conference. When UGA loses to Alabama it is generally due to UGA being less talented, deep and having depth that is developed and ready to play...the same is true for Alabama losing to UGA....it is the foundation of SEC football. If you take issues with your programs inability to match UGA in those areas you should take it up with your program....

Alabama is riddled with injuries all over the roster and those who are able to return for the playoff aren't going to be close to 100%. Simpson is one of those who apparently has been playing hurt since the Mizzoo game and his back has gotten progressively worse. I don't expect there to be a second game for Alabama in the playoffs. Just too many injuries.

Agree. Feels like it’s Oregon’s to lose honestly.

Said that earlier this year. Grubb is pretty psycho as an OC. Passing too complicated. Running to simplistic. Bi-polar play calling and Deboer approves of it all.......Grubb has managed to put so much pressure on Ty he has made him a head-case. Who knows what Bama may do in playoffs. They are a completely unpredictable team. And don't forget the injuries.

Tell that to Auburn.

The team that was invited to bowl game and punted.

The revenue from that bowl game might not be substantial, but it still increases the amount shared.

Oklahoma has a great defense but a bad offense. Hard to see them going far.

Preseason I was expecting to see Oklahoma at 6-6 by this time.

Losing the RRS only served to confirm what I originally thought.

Then the second half of the season happened and the Sooners went 5-1 over the next six games.

I am happy to see OU at 10-2 and if the season finishes at 10-3 then so be it.

If Alabama beats them by double digits then everyone was right.

But first, they gotta play.

Every team has injuries.

Not all injuries are equal.

There are no instances of Georgia winning without a rematch and multiple injuries to Alabama. In the SECCG, Alabama was without 2 or 3 of it's best offensive players.

If Georgia manages to win one, has a bunch of injuries and loses the rematch. You'd all be saying the same thing. But well you gotta win the first one.

True, but all injuries are equally part of the game, which is why there is a depth chart and coaching up of non-starters to be ready to play if and when their ticket is punched. Coaches are also required to adjust their game plans to account for the loss of key personnel, especially when they know about it in advance.

In 2017 and 2018, UGA had Bama on the ropes until Saban put in the backup QB. In those instances, the backups actually helped their team win. Bama beat UGA straight up in those games, and the backups did what they were coached to do.

The same thing happened to UGA last year in the SECCG, except it was an injury to the starting QB that led to the backup coming in to play. The backup played well and helped lead the team to a close win over a team they beat soundly earlier in the season. The backup QB did what he was coached to do.

When backups come in and play well, leading to a win, no one (to my knowledge) talks about asterisks. It apparently only happens when the result is a loss.

Are you as critical as the Bama / LSU rematch from the 2011 season? Do you put an asterisk on that one?

I'm not critical of Georgia for theirs. That's the way shite goes. Injuries do not matter on the scoreboard. It doesn't matter how injured Alabama was in any of those games on the scoreboard.

Not even a little tiny bit. As far the games go, congrats to Georgia. You won them and Alabama's injuries are just football.

The problem is when people try to take meaning of the games beyond the results. If you're going to use the result of the game to put Alabama down, claim they are this and that - then these things do matter.

Go on youtube right now and watch some Oklahoma podcasts. They'll talk about the Alabama strength and when the subject of the result of the SECCG comes up, they all say the same thing - well Alabama was badly injured and they should be healed up some when we play them. They do not consider it an accurate picture of the team they will face.

That's not because they are knocking Georgia or their win or anything else, they are just trying to look for meaningful information beyond the scoreboard.
