it seems the narrative that UGA is pushing......we got a moral victory.

The narrative is “young team, next year is the year”

I think UGA is one of the best 4 teams but 2 losses is tough. Even if they are both forgiveable, although that LSU game was ugly.

The narrative is that you choked again, lost again, and have no shot at a natty again.

Funny how that changed tonight from “four best teams”.

There are two ways of looking at "best":

How good is a team?
How did they fare against their schedule?

Depends on what you want in a championship game. Do you want the best two teams in the country regardless of their record? Or do you want the two that survived their gauntlet of schedules (I.e. Final Four tournament)?

Most people want something in the middle which is complicated.

I want to see Conference Champions settle it.


frick rematches and mulligans.


And frick teams that cannot even win their conference much less their division.

I'm a firm believer in the "four best teams regardless of conference championship" argument, and I also firmly believe UGA is currently one of the four best. They aren't the team that lost to LSU anymore. At the end of the day, W-L records and the quality of the loss are going to be factored in. It's like the sorites paradox. Was a 1 loss UGA one of the four best teams? Yes, and the committee clearly agreed because they ranked y'all 4th. Was a 2 loss UGA team one of the four best teams? Well, it's the same team as the 1 loss team, so of course they are. And they played Bama hard. But what if they'd lost to GT? Would a 3 loss UGA team be one of the four best? Well, it's the same team that took Bama to the wire, so...sure. There's a point when you have to make a more discriminating choice because a winless UGA team could make the final four if you use that vein of logic. Unfortunately for UGA, that point came pretty quickly when two 1 loss teams won their respective conferences and forced the issue. Georgia is still one of the top 4 teams as far as I'm concerned, but they hobbled by the context and the argument isn't just "Is UGA worthy?" It's also, "How can we justify keeping out OU/OSU under the circumstance?"

Y’all should fake it on special teams more often

2 losses.
