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

The problem with “shoulda coulda woulda” statements is that you’re presenting a scenario that differs from reality.

My point is that either it's a meaningless statement because there's no "question" in any year who's the "best" team as it's whoever wins the national championship.

Or you give it any meaning by evaluating the quality of wins, especially in pressure situations. Not just the last game. And Georgia nearly lost the semis, if not, for a missed FG.

Compare for instance, the 2019 LSU championship team. They never trailed ANY GAME with less than 5 min left. In fact, they might not have trailed in the 2H of any game, but I'm not sure.

They destroyed Oklahoma in the semis and Clemson in the National Championship.
