Reply to comment by cityterrace in Bulldogs barrel their way to 2nd straight CFP title, set record for points scored in title game by EatSleepJeep

UGA’s kicker missed a FG earlier too? They’re part of the game.

I'm not saying UGA is undeserving. They won fair and square.

I just don't know what "no question they're the best" means. If it just means they won the CFP National Championship game, then it doesn't matter whether they won by 1 or 100 points.

Or, if it does have meaning, then you evaluate how convincingly they won their games. And they didn't win the semi-finals that convincingly.

But it’s still an argument that OSU was close to Georgia as the best team in the country. Especially if Marvin Harrison Jr. didn’t get knocked out of the game. We’re just saying that Georgia and OSU are close, not that Georgia didn’t deserve to win just because OSU missed the kick.

Ohio State at their best can compete with UGA. But that's the difference between UGA and Ohio State. UGA was consistent and showed up enough every week to win. Ohio State wasn't. That's why Ohio State lost to UGA, and that's why UGA is the National Champion and the definitive and unequivocal best team in the country.

That is a fair point, Ohio State is scarily inconsistent most years. Being a fan is usually stressful haha we fuckin lost to va tech the year we won the title ffs

No, the only difference was that Noah Ruggles missed a 50 yard FG at the end. That's all. They didn't lose because Georgia "showed up ... every week." That didn't matter for last Saturday's game.

CFP playoff history is filled with teams that lost, and even lost big, and eventually recovered to win the CFP.
