re: If we beat UK..

Not true...

If we win the SECG against LSU and Michigan beats OSU away and wins their Champ game, they will be the 4 spot.

Clemson >> undefeated
ND >> undefeated
UGA >> 1 loss and champion
UM >> 1 loss and champion

BAMA would not be a top 4 team if that occurs.

You're a solid poster and I agree with you a lot but this definitely isn't one of those times. I truly can't wrap my head around how anyone with UGA's best interest at heart can have this mindset. Or anybody for any team for that matter.

They dont' have different levels of championships or wins. A win is a win. A title is a title. Period. There aren't varying tiers with asterisks that denote some titles as being higher than other titles. Either you have one or you don't. It is in UGA's best interst, both to win the SEC and to make the playoffs, to face LSU and not alabmaa. Why ON EARTH would you want to make that feat harder instead of easier? If I had my way we'd play about 6 or 7 ULM's during the season, antoher in the SECCG, and 2 more in the playoffs.

Let me ask, how did you feel when we won the SEC in 2002? Pumped right? Were you bummed out and disappointed that we shellacked an average arkansas team instead of playing alabama who we should've played? That was a damn solid 10 win team we barely escaped in the regular season that would ahve won the west and gone to atlanta if they weren't on probation. But guess what, there aren't any asterisks next to that year on our trophy or our hearts, it simply says we're champions. In 1980 we didn't play a team in the entire regular season taht would finish in the top 20, does that diminish our title win any?

This isn't pro wrestling, you don't have to "beat the best to be the best". If LSU wins Saturday and the rest of the teams at the top hold serve like they SHOULD, we have a fantastic chance at making the playoffs and not having to play bama, which is as good a scenario as you can possibly hope for. To hope our path to that becomes harder is just absurd.

Freaking preach brother.

People are complaining about Bama’s schedule, and I bet they could not care less.

A trophy is a trophy. If you win your two playoff games it doesn’t matter how you got there.

quote:

---

If Bama doesn't win the SEC, I hope they don't make the playoffs over a 1 loss P5 conference champ

they won't.

SEC champ (us or LSU, since you state above it's not bama)
ACC champ (undefeated clemson)
Big 10 champ (1 loss UM or OSU likely)
Big 12 champ (likely 1 loss whoever it is)
Potentially undefeated ND
Potentially 1 loss Pac12 champ


People are so hung up on last season while somehow not realizing that the only team bama was competing against for the final spot had 2 losses, 1 of which was horrific.

Granted, if bama doesn't win the SEC or even their division, they COULD very well still make the playoffs but it would take some conference champs having 2 losses and ND having a loss. If all those guys leading their conferences right now (plus ND) hold serve and do as they should there is zero chance bama makes it in no matter how good they look.

1 loss SEC champ is for sure in.
Clemson looks destined to go 12-0 and romp in the ACC, they're a guarantee.
If ND wins out, which is probably more likely than not right now, they are a guarantee.

That's a lot of teams fighting it out for 1 more spot, and bama not winning their conference is absolutley going to hold them back.

I hate the easy path in sports and I feel if we are that good, we will show it.

we haven't won a title in going on 40 years and never in my lifetime, I'm not sure why it would make you feel worse abotu one if we didn't play the top 3 teams in a row to end the year.

If you're on bama's plane right now where they are basiclaly getting bored by beating everyone they play by 40 and only expect to be challenged in the second half maybe once or twice a year...ok sure. Bring on the big boys. But we aren't even close to that.

Like I said, its just a mentality and if that means we don't win the Natty, then fine.

I think we will soon though...

Our team has leadership issues, young as hell and they could be putting the team back in the SECG.

That means next year, we should be on Bama's level IMO.

Bama.

If LSU beats Bama and we beat LSU in the SECCG, there is a good possibility we don't make it to the final four because Bama could still be ranked above us.

However, if Bama beats LSU and we win the rest of our SEC games and beat Bama in the SECCG then we will definitely be in the final four.

1 loss SEC Champion is in the playoff 100% guaranteed. No questions asked.

Normally I would agree with you but what if LSU beats Bama, we beat LSU in the SECCG, Clemson and Notre Dame are undefeated and two teams out of Ohio State, Oklahoma or Michigan also end the season with one loss?

Then an undefeated Clemson and Notre Dame, Bama with one loss and two other one loss teams like Michigan, Oklahoma or Ohio State could get into the final four ahead of us.

You really just suggested that bama would get in over us with the following being the case:

UGA 12-1, sec champions, only loss to LSU (with a win over them as well)

Bama 11-1, didn't win their division, also a loss to LSU

You've lost your fricking mind if you think they would go over us in that scenario
