2022 CFP National Championship Game Thread: UGA -vs- Alabama

[Championships6]

Injuries happen. UGA won. I don't get down with the "asterisk" nonsense.

Georgia already lost to them. It’s dumb they play again.

I hope Vince Dooley trips on a helmet

They weren't the two best teams?

 

[Carl Pickens]

UGA's losing their DC, but not sure it matters. Kirby runs their D and they recruit like mad.

Saban is the king of staff turnover and it never seems to matter.

Surely it will catch up to them eventually

Sounds like Alabama just had bad timing.

It wasn't even close.

At UGA, maybe it will. For Saban, we're 15 years into this and it has never mattered. Not sure it ever will.

Congrats to UGA and fans, f’n a holes.

Well, at least Henry T didn't get a ring.

We can always hope

There should be a BIIGGGG asterisk next to this national championship. Bama won it a few weeks ago and then Georgia gets to play them without their best playmakers. This is stupid. Bama wins by 20 if they’re healthy.

Asterisks are more for cheating. The reality is the CFP system has made the Conference Championship Game still a very helpful, important stepping stone…but no longer a national title necessity like it was in the previous systems.

Young’s two INT’s weren’t going to be caught by Metchie or Williams. The constant pressure he was under wasn’t going to be alleviated by Williams or Metchie or having Armour-Davis or Jobe on defense. UGA got pressure and a lot of hits on Young tonight where they couldn’t get close to him in ATL. The pressure was the difference tonight.

My boss is a UGA fan, now I'll get to hear his sht for the next 6 months at least. sigh

That's how playoffs work. UGA was one of the four best teams.

Frankly, I don't know that Bama would have beat Michigan with the injuries we accumulated over the last 3 games.

Meh. Just make fun of him for crying about it.

So you’d rather it have been Michigan, as it would’ve been pre-2014, and Bama wins this game by 2 scores easily, even with the injuries?

How soon until a Scott Cochran narrative pops up? Or has it already?

Think of it this way, though: the Florida fans will probably have it worse. Where do you think the UGA fans mainly want to direct all this?

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

I realized for the first time tonight that I hate Georgia more than Alabama. I knew I hated them both, but there’s something about Kirby Smart that makes me want to throat punch him

I still despise Florida and Kentucky more than Georgia (barely) but as far as SEC coaches go, Kirby is at the top of my crap list. I respect Saban, there is absolutely no respect for Smart.

That's actually a really good point. Haven't thought of it that way.

That's child's play.

I live basically in the geographical center of the damn state.

Michigan’s offense is anemic vs a solid defense. Overall their team reminds me of the mid 2000’s OSU teams; you can tell the speed just isn’t there.

Making that cut was a terrible decision

Thats how he has played all season. Sometimes the plays you have done a million times before your body says not this time. Sadly it almost always happens to the most explosive players. Our bodies are not designed to do the things players like Williams do. But it happened and wish the kid the best going forward.
