Y'all wouldn't have room to talk if the school did claim 46 and 68


The school has more integrity than to claim those as official national titles, but all I'm saying is other schools do. I mean, bama fans claim 15 national titles when it's really like 9. Now don't get me wrong, that's still VERY impressive and one of (if not the) highest totals in America for sure. But I mean there's 5 or 6 titles coming from somewhere. It's those crappy little polls that just happened to give your school a title that some schools will bogus-ly claim that we don't. I wish before the start of a season, we would just start claiming em out of the blue. Add flags to the stadium, change the media guide, etc without making a big to do or telling anyone. Just be like "yeah, we have 5. So what"

My thought on the matter is, if essentially every other school in the country claims up then why shouldn't we.
We haven't. It's something that I respect about UGA.

NCAA says 13 and the CFDW says 14, so no, it's not "like 9."

We haven't either, and could easily claim 84 going by certain standards.
I don't respect anything about UGA though.

Yeah, we could claim 7 more titles, but I'm glad we don't. I don't want Auburn to stoop to the Michigan/Bama/Tennessee level. And honestly if Georgia did it would be a real shame.

And there's a pretty strong and growing consensus in the Bama community that 1941 is indeed ludicrous. There's a thread on the Alabama board about it.

On the other hand, Bama got screwed in '66 but doesn't claim it retroactively (and they shouldn't).

More titles and Heismans though.



You mean the award that Mormon linebacker from ND finished second for this year?
As far as I'm concerned no Heismans in the BCS era mean anything. UGA has a claim on five titles and I'm claiming all five.

They mention 27, 46, and 68 in their media guide, but I'm pretty sure they only claim 42 and 80.



Because they're consensus

In your mind, does Auburn have 9 NCs?

Considering how bogus the system(s) used to be for declaring champions, I've always thought pre-BCS championships were a mess to begin with. When you have 8 polls, there will naturally be disagreement.

That said, touche. It'd pain me for everyone to play that game and I shouldn't either. But UGA not being AP champs in '46 (ND and Army both had blemishes on their seasons) is a travesty.

Well if it makes you feel better I guess. In that case, I'm claiming 6 for UF.

UGA is leading the series vs. Flawda 49-40-2.

UGAs 1946 team was undefeated and shut out Bama and beat a real good unc team in the Sugar Bowl.

just as Charlie Trippi was robbed of the Heisman that year due to post war sentiments for an Army player, so were they robbed of at least a share of the title...

Tennessee is still far and away #1. I'd still give the edge to Georgia over Florida for #2.

Clearly one of the stoooopidest fricking thread in history and obviously started by a vol fan whose dick is the size of a cocktail sausage.

I honestly thought more of Vol fan until just now.
