You can point to the stats, you can argue the competition, but at the end of the day there's one very simple reason why this team is the GOAT.

All chest, no quit.

This was a team filled with players who were determined to play every game, be on the field every play. No one quit on their team, no one was looking for loopholes to skip games. They went out, week after week, kids who could have easily said, "I'll be a millionaire next year so I'll skate by" instead said, "Screw that, I came here to play ball."

They dominated, and they dominated nearly every opponent they played, and not just because of talent - but because while so many others were looking for excuses to give up, these kids were looking for ways to get back on the field even when they didn't need to.

Yeah, this team won the most P5 games in a season ever.
Yeah, this team has more hardware than will likely ever be replicated.
At the end of the day though, this team played with heart and determination. They didn't talk shite, they didn't quit, and they didn't whine. They played the game.

2020 Alabama is the GOAT.
2020 Alabama is America's Team.

Feel free to argue, but those kids won't be able to respond with all those rings making it hard to type and those trophies weighing them down.

They couldn’t quit or their contracts would be breached, Chargers repo’d.

It is not. This was an Exhibition Season so the Colleges could collect the TV revenue. This was just like the WWII football seasons.

So Auburn spent $21 million over exhibition games?

Amazing. Someone should go to jail over that waste.

You played depleted rosters in stadiums with no fans and just beat a 6-0 Big 10 team that barely had enough scholarship players to play under NCAA rules.

Sit down.

I bet they are all out signing with agents, getting a forwarded check and driving something much nicer than entry level sports cars.

No they spent $21M so when the real game returns after this Exhibition Season we do not have to watch Gus fumble the season away.

It's weird when I say "no quitters" that so many fans got triggered.

You guys can start as many threads as you want, but 1,5,10 years down the road, people will mostly just remember 2020 as being a messed up season.
