Change the word "division" to "conference", and I'd agree.

The speed on the field was even. Anybody with a brain could see that. We lost the penalty game 1 to 10 and not one holding call after 350 yards of rushing. UGA would have beat the brakes off ND and gave Bama everything they wanted. I know we embarrased your team that year but don't act like a bitch about it.

The biggest reason Georgia was in the game late was because of a Special Teams touchdown. Yes, Special Teams are a part of the game, but it's the offense's job first and foremost to score points. Alabama's offense scored 32; Georgia's offense scored 21. Alabama had 100+ more yards than Georgia. Both teams left points on the field, but in the end, the better team prevailed.
So are you saying the better team lost the Iron Bowl this year using this thought process.

The best part about it is Bob Stoops came out and said the SEC was overated as FK and then went out and backed it up.

Alabama outgained Auburn by about 100 yards, but both offenses scored 28 points. One of Alabama's touchdowns came off a short field, so it was practically a defensive score. Either way, Alabama's offense did not outscore the Auburn offense.

Yep
Good thing we had our Backup QB in there and our team was healthy as a horse.

First of all, nobody, anywhere, ever, (aside from people still in a liquor haze immediately after the game) has said that the "better team didn't win". All UGA fans admit that bama was better, we went toe to toe and just came up short. So I'm not sure why you even bother mentioning that.
Second, it's simply laughable you use a special teams touchdown as a reason to diminish our performance. Ya know, last year's iron bowl and all. I guess your win is somehow tainted because the offense didn't score enough.

Furthermore, when's the last time a national championship participant suffered a blowout loss then won the national championship?
How is that in any way relevant?

I wouldn't mention 2007 if I were a Georgia fan. You got blown out by an average Tennessee team, and it's not too often than 2-loss teams compete for the national championship.
1) I mentioned it because it was relevant to my rebuttal of the previous poster, and it's correct. We were close, very close. And again, straight up laughable you say 2 loss teams don't blah blah, when a 2 loss team went THAT YEAR. One that lost to kentucky and arkansas, by the way. We lost to an average UT team, but we didn't lose to 2 bad teams like LSU did.

I have no comment regarding 2002 Georgia, for I'd have to do research
At least you've spared yourself some embarrassing comments about this one.

What do you think of 2002 Georgia's odds against 2002 Miami?
Hard to say considering it's completely hypothetical. I know we were better than OSU that year so we'd be in it. They got ridiculously fortunate that likely the best player for miami got hurt. They also should ahve lost that game, but benefitted from an extremely controersial flag in their favor. I dont' know if we'd win, it's literally impossible to say one way or the other. I will contend that 02 was one of the 3 or 4 best UGA teams ever though.

The national championship team that season had 2 losses. That's the proper point of comparison. ESPN campaigned against us for not winning our division, then turned around a few years later and said "it should be the 2 best teams" when it was Alabama instead.

Probably a little better odds than that OSU team. We would have been underdogs to Miami, but UGA was damn good in 2002

When your 3 or 4 of the best players in the entire conference are hurt it's hard not to be sour. Malcolm Mitchell didn't play all season. Murray was injured. Gurley was a gimp. We still had other recivers hurt. We simply didn't field a healty team all season. It is what it is.

Offense makes up 1/3 of the ways you can score dumbass. What does only offense has to do with anything?
That's like LSU's "undefeated in regulation" mantra.

Yeah, I've done some reading regarding the 2002 Ohio State team, and I'm also aware of the controversy surrounding the end of regulation in the national championship. I know Miami lost a valuable player during the game too. I can buy that Georgia would have kept it competitive, but I haven't done much game by game reading or analysis of 2002 Georgia to make such an assessment.

No, this thread is 4 pages because after valid rebuttals to other posters, bama and auburn fans start spouting garbage.

Yeah, I'm not seeing many excuses either.
The Georgia fans that have posted seem to unanimously agree that the answer is "no" since the school cares more about academics than athletics.

Our defense held teams to 12ppg that season. The game we lost we only scored 13 points and it was a battle but Florida beat us straight up.

We had some close games with our rivals but defensively we could have competed with anyone.

02 had tons of talent on defense. I miss those days. :(

I hope Nick Saban never makes us as desensitized to losing as CMR has done for the Georgia fan base.
