They aren't the GOAT or even in the top2.


I have to agree with you. Those Alabama, Auburn and Texas teams are nowhere close to being GOAT or even in the top 2.

It’s not just if UGA runs the table. It’s the manner in which they do it. Can UGA go 15-0. Sure. Can they do it in as a dominating fashion like LSU did? We’ll see.

But what if?...will UGA supplant the LSU 2019 team and be the so-called, BEST TEAM OF ALL TIME?

Don't think yall have 2019 LSU's dick heat.

Who are your superstars on offense other than Beck?

honestly how could anyone possibly answer this without knowing how the games play out?

I mean it was barely 2 years ago that we beat a 10-win Oregon team by 46, beat up on teams for another month, completely embarrassed the "#1 ranked" tennessee team, put up 50 on the West winner LSU, beat Ohio State, then set a record for biggest postesason blowout in CFB history in the national title game en route to going 15-0.

not sure that really matters. Our 2021 title was built on a generationally talented defense. Our 2022 title scored points on just about everyone and most people outside the southeast had likely never heard of kenny mcintosh, ladd mconkey, daijuan edwards, dillon bell, marcus rosemy, etc. heading into the year.

We are comparing the best team of all time here. It has to matter. How else do you want to determine who had the best team?

2019 LSU scored a shite ton of points.

100% agree.

Teams have to go 17-0 now.

LSU didn't do it in dominating fashion. There are 2 sides of the ball, and your defense was shite the majority of the year. Only beating Auburn by 3 points, Alabama by 5 and Texas by 7 is no where near dominating.

That's a MOV of only 15 points in 3 games. Meanwhile, the closest MOV for a single team against 95 Nebraska is 14 points. That's what domination looks like.

Hell, Alabama had a more dominating performance in 2020.

2 sides of the ball, their defense was no where near GOAT status.

By SoS and MoV.

You need a qualifying SoS and then it's a matter of MOV to see how well you did against the teams.

Georgia would no doubt have a qualifying schedule. It would be the manner in which they win. Gotta be dominate on both sides of the ball.

Unless you want to use LSU fan logic, then the next team that goes undefeated will automatically be the GOAT since they will be 17-0.

Depends on where the opponents are when you all play them, but it is possible

Depends on where those teams in up, but it will be tough imo. In 2019, LSU beat these teams:

#2 (neutral)
#4 (neutral)
#6 (home)
#7 (neutral)
#8 (road)
#14 (home)
#25 (road)

This is using the final rankings of the season, after the postseason. Not preseason or in season rankings like some use.

ummm...lots of ways. The subjective indefinable "star quality" of the players isn't one.

which has nothing to do with what's being discussed. My point is a team can score a ton of points (UGA in 2022 averaged 41PPG which is nothing to sneeze at) without having the household superstars that 2019 LSU did.

I don't understand how you can count neutral and home games as being valid.

I've been told repeatedly by LSU fans since 2020 that games don't count unless the stadiums are full of opposing fans. Based on this logic, the only games that count are #8 (road) and #25 (road).

because actual things done on the field of play, ya know things like points scored, points allowed, margin of victory, wins, championships, etc...actually matter. How many stars a player has by his name as a recruit or how many instagram followers he has couldn't possibly be less relevant.

"how about do it first then get back to us"

Uh, what part of 'what if' do you not grasp? Its a hypothetical scenario to discuss during the offseason while we wait for the season to start. What's wrong with that? I mean, we can talk about deer hunting, or politics or Bulgarian stomach pumps for crying out loud if its such a big deal, but I just thought since we're all football fans and everything, we might as well talk football.

Because it's a team sport.

If the team has a bunch of great players, the results should reflect that.
