I challenged a Georgia fan on this one that was being cocky.

Does Alabama go 12-0 playing Georgia's schedule? Georgia had no true road game and was able to get favorable situations for its biggest matchups (Oregon in opener with first year QB and Coach in Georgia and Tennessee in their Superbowl in Athens).

Alabama had to play challenging road matchups in Austin, Neyland, Baton Rouge, and Oxford.

Does Georgia go unbeaten if you flip the script and have Georgia play Alabama's schedule? Does Alabama go 12-0 against Georgia's schedule? (Keep in mind Tennessee goes to Tuscaloosa if Alabama has Georgia's schedule).

I know this may not go over well with some, but I feel like we should stop playing Bama every year since Georga is on our schedule every year

If we go a season getting beat by Bama, GA, and someone else... we may not make the top 12 playoffs so why risk that if others at the top don't play tough schedules. I know, just win and it won't matter... but we beat Bama this year and they still ranked above us so

Dont be too hard on Jawja fans. They've waited 40 years to be relevant again. They can enjoy their fleeting moment.

I think you're way overrating Texas and Ole Miss; I think Georgia definitely beats both of them on the road and in both cases worse than Alabama did.

And we were their "Super Bowl"? Come on man, they're the defending National Champions and we were nationally relevant for the first time really since 2001. I think you're being a tad orange colored glasses here.

We probably won't be playing UGA every year anymore once Texas and OK join and they realign everything

Their fans acted like it. They are still talking about the game and Tennessee. The sad thing is that we were the first top 10 matchup in Athens in like 4-5 years.

Yes, Georgia appears to be the best team in CFB this season, I think they still go undefeated.

Against Tennessee's schedule (obviously still playing Tennessee instead of itself), Alabama is 9-3...losses to LSU, Tennessee, and Georgia. Maybe to SC too.

They don't beat Tennessee in Neyland if the atmosphere is like it was against Alabama. No one beats Tennessee that night. It doesn't mean we are the best team, it just means the stars aligned for us that evening.

It took a walk-off FG at home to beat Bama’s weakest team since 2010.

Neyland was lit that day for sure, but that same Bama squad had to hang on for dear life at College Station and Austin.

UGA controlled every aspect of your game in Athens. Their defense slowly choked out what had been up to that point an unstoppable offense.

Elite defenses travel. UGA beats UT regardless of venue. They’re just that good.

We only play Georgia two more times before the schedule gets upended.

This is just bad manners.

No. There appears to be a problem in Tuscaloosa. I don't know what it is, but it was there last year as well. Bama's record isn't a result of a more difficult schedule than UGA's. They're just not playing to the standard they did 5-6 years ago.

Georgia did not look good on the road (See UK and Missouri). Problem is that Georgia hasn't really played a good team on the road.
