Sounds right. When we blow out Bama in Atlanta they will likely drop to 4 or 5. So if there is a rematch it will be 1 and 4.

I’ve never said Alabama hasn’t lost to teams we shouldn’t have.


Then why are you arguing, then? because that is all I said. the Alabama poster said Georgia would lose to a team we shouldn't, like we always do, and I merely said that Alabama loses to someone they shouldn't lose almost every year, too. That's it.

quote:

What I am saying is comparing our losses to UGA’s is like saying that the Mercedes Benz dome and the local high school stadium are the same because they both have turf.


You are the only one wanting to compare the two!

I kept telling you it had nothing to do with quality of loss but you kept insisting on comparing them!

The argument was that BOTH teams lose games to teams they should not lose to, so to act like it is a "Georgia thing" is wrong.

If Alabama wins out and continues to steam roll teams like they have, there is no way that Georgia will jump them. If they were going to jump them, they would have done so by now.

Alabama has three currently ranked top 25 teams left on its schedule, UGA has one. If things continue how we think they will, Alabama will be #1 in the playoff seeding with 4 wins over ranked teams (2 on the road, 1 at a neutral site, 1 at home) with a huge average margin of victory.

You are implying they are the same by saying “well, both teams lose to teams they shouldn’t.” As if it isn’t a more common and consistent theme for Uga.

It’s like saying “This person is a drug dealer and this person has a speeding ticket, but they’re both the same because they both break the law.”

Sorry if germans, but an early #1 ranking is rat poison. UGA fans shouldn’t want it.

Its almost like people in this thread don't understand the CFB poll is independent of the other polls.

There will be no jumping or talking. It's the first poll.

I never, ever said that. You are reading into stuff and applying your own implications. And it doesn't matter how often, or bad the losses are. Every team does it.
In my book a loss is a loss. now if you want to take solace that an inferior team beat Alabama by 3 points and an inferior team beat Georgia by 20, then go for it. they both look the same in the standings. Every team in the country loses to inferior teams. that is what I am saying. Period. make with it what you want. get your feelings hurt, but it is a true statement. I never once brought up Georgia's losses. You did. I never once compared the losses. You got your feelings hurt when I said that Alabama had more talent on their roster than Clemson did.

You are going to compare a loss to an inferior team to dealing drugs, now?

Ok. I think I am done now. You clearly have the better grasp on reality here.

Quite frankly, I don't think anybody cares. It makes exactly zero difference. Alabama and Georgia will (probably) play each other for the SEC Championship. It will sort itself out. Nothing I think or want will affect how my team plays.

You are off on the facilities thing - Bama isn't even the tops anymore. I'd wager there are likely 10 just as good, at least 20 or so generally comparable and very good.

Also only 11 players can be on the field at a given time and considering injury and what not, i'd say that Clemson wasn't this crazy loss. Ole Miss the two years - sure, but it actually doesn't happen to Alabama every year. 2009, 2011 and 2016 come to mind if we want to be literal.

UGA probably should be at this point but I wouldn't be surprised if the voters keep Bama at the top for now

Not even close. Somebody MIGHT, but not 10 or anywhere near that. If you make a statement like that, then back it up. Who do you think has better facilities than Alabama? I'm not talking about stadiums. That makes no difference. I am talking about training facilities, weight facilities, etc. (I probably should have made that more clear)

quote:

Yes it was. Only 11 can get on the field, but lets not insinuate that when tired Alabama is trotting another 5* or a 4* out there when everybody else is trotting out a 3*. Believe it or not....depth matters. And, I can assure you Alabama had a lot more 5* on their starting 22 than Clemson did, too.

You want to be literal? then Alabama has had the #1 recruiting class the last 8 years in a row. Lets start counting the last 5 years and every loss would have been to an inferior team. Shall we go back and check the losses from 2011 until this year? You take the time to check those teams and Alabama would have had more talent on their roster every single time. LSU beat Alabama in 2011 with an inferior team. Alabama out recruited them every year prior for 3-4 years, and we know Saban is a superior coach to Les Miles. Go from there and make your argument. But I can promise you you will find Alabama out recruited that team and had the better coaches. They lost to inferior teams when they lost.

You are the one that did it, not me.
You are bringing straw man arguments, putting words and argument sinto my mouth.....you can't seem to admit that an inferior team could possibly beat Alabama.

Tell me something. Do you think Saban would compare losses and say, "This one isn't as bad as that one."?
But I'm the one that is dense.

Ask almost any college football fan. If they had to choose one team who they associate with consistently losing to inferior teams, which team would most people choose? Alabama or UGA?

I mean it is essentially the same, but someone ranked above Alabama in a recent article on it was A&M so its not like i'm just bullshitting. I'd wager that Oregon, Okla. State - Clemson and OU are probably up there - other teams with crazy backing are all essentially the same.

Ya we can be literal and like I said nobody has the depth. But on the front line, after injuries and whatnot, when Bama plays a national championship level team it can be essentially the same level of talent on a given play.

I don't know about all that. This shite isn't as black and white as you are making it out to be - its football not a math equation. But in 2011, 2016 and 2009 Alabama didn't lose to an inferior class football team. frick i don't care you can put Alabama on some godlike pedestal - not sure why i'm trying to stop it.

Its really funny on here when you get you with this shite and the bama should never lose, others with the Bama fans are delusional and come with the Bama only beats themselves trolls. Its the same story every year though, Bama is a very very good football team but there are a few programs every year that on the same level.

Bama is special cause they are able to maintain that level year in and year out with only small fluctuations - which is where the depth and recruiting come in and not as much on the first team in a national championship games after injuries / season attrition / player improvements has taken over and resulted in talent which may not be directly aligned with recruiting rankings.

Yeah but if the roles were reversed you think they keep Bama out? Of course not because they bring much more attention to the play off and it's an easy market.
