re: The best SEC football programs by decade

Madmax...I never said UGA was the consensus champion; however, they are listed as national champions that year ('46) by the NCAA. All polls are opinions and while ND & Army may have tied each other, that still leaves UGA as the ONLY unbeaten, untied team that year and the NCAA recognizes that fact and lists them among the 1946 champions.

It's up to each school's athletic depts. to decide which titles they wish to claim...UGA chooses not to claim 1946, but it is listed as a title winner in the school's media guide and websites.

By the way....Tennessee claims 1967 as a year they won the national title when they finished 9-2...the USC Trojans were named consensus national champions by a WIDE margin with OU and Tennessee having been voted #1 by only 1 selector. Tennessee's was by Litkenhouse, the same selector that chose GEORGIA #1 in 1968---yet, UGA doesn't claim 1968, but TENNESSEE DOES @9-2????

I'm not beliddling UT for claiming 1967 because that's UT's right to do so if they choose by NCAA statements. Therefore, if UGA decides to claim 1946 any time in the future, they have that right. I only listed 1946 in the post because I'm not going by titles claimed, but those listed by the NCAA.

UGA doesn't do what Tennessee does in claiming everything in sight ('67 a case in point and '50--which OU is the consensus winner, and TCU was named the '38 winner by AP and other selectors, sharing the title with UT and Notre Dame).
