What impossible standards? I mean, one of your fans was talking crap about how Georgia loses to teams we should beat every year, but now you want to say we can't use those same standards on Alabama?
Sounds fair.

Ya the two postseason losses aren't exactly games you should win every single one type games usually. If bama loses those games all the time you would have a point, but Saban has a pretty solid postseason record - obviously.
Also i don't think i would say the Auburn game the year they were quite good and won the SEC and lost in the last minute to FSU was one of those type games.
I just find the "bama should win every game" narrative on here really funny as it is an impossible standard that makes zero sense. Again, maybe every single game is one you should win in a vacuum - but 100% victory every sentiment is pretty strong in today's game given the fairly small number of of even single undefeated seasons by any teams in recent years.
ETA: Also, lots of top tier teams have the facilities, nobody has quite the coaching, essentially nobody has the depth, some teams have the front line talent (only 11 players can play at a given time) but due to issues such as injuries, attrition, players not panning out, whatever - it can be pretty damn close from time to time on that level as well.

I have a feeling UGA will be fricked over if they lose the SECCG.

Nope. Bama has to lose to drop out of the #1 spot.
Posted on 10/29/17 at 2:51 pm to rmnldr
False. Anybody truly think that Bama drops a spot without a loss?
Bama is running out of ways to feel disrespected to fuel their motivational fires. Drop them a spot and Saban will be thanking his lucky stars.

If we lose to Bama and ND makes the playoff with one loss, I will be pissed

I agree, usually not. been Alabama has a clear talent edge in every single game they play. Saban proves they have a coaching advantage every single game.

And if Georgia lost to the same teams all the time he would have a point, but we don't. His point was that we lose to teams we shouldn't lose to every year. My point is that every team in the country does the same thing. Alabama included. Can you deny that?
In what area has Alabama been out recruited in? Out coached?

And you are purposely missing the point. Nobody should win every game, and it rarely happens. So, why did he put that same criteria on Georgia? If you are going to point fingers using a certain criteria, then be prepared to defend the same logic against your own team. (Not you, necessarily...giant leaf, or whatever his handle is.)
Should Georgia beat every team we have a talent advantage on, or not? if your answer is yes, then so should Alabama. if not, then the narrative is old and stale.

I hope So. It'll look that much better
After we curb stomp Georgia in Atlanta

If we lose, then we lose. We have to win the big games if we want to go to the big games. Alabama is a great team, and right now, I would like to compete against the other top teams in the country....but if we are unable because Alabama beats us, then we will have to come back next yer and try again. It is what it is.

Not at Alabama levels, they don't. There MIGHT be one or two out there, but not lots...

Not by a long shot. I can guarantee you not other team in the country has as many 5* players starting as Alabama has. If you can find me one I will be more than happy to apologize.
Alabama has had several injuries this year, and I would be willing to be they still have more 5* players starting. And every program has players that don't pan out....just nobody else has a 5* player ready to step in and fill that failure.

True. The only one that matters is the last one before the playoffs. It will change drastically in between now and the playoffs.

All kidding aside, a very close loss by previously unbeaten Bulldog team or Bama team in Atlanta, I don't think
Knocks them out totally, at 12-1. A blowout however by one or the other
Might prove otherwise.

The point being is that y’all lose to teams that aren’t remotely close to being as talented and often in blowout fashion.
Unless you really think a last minute loss in a championship is the same as a beat down by Ole Miss and a loss to Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Tech last year.

A blowout definitely knocs either team out. Let's face it....we aren't going to truck Alabama. We MIGHT be able to beat you, but it won't be a blowout.
Now, I honestly don't think anybody is going to blow us out, either, but IF I was told one or the other team would be blown out, and I had to pick which one, I wold say it would be us.
