Wouldn't that have looked more like, "We're going to have an all SEC contest and that's going to upset people"? :chuckle: But I'll give you the next best thing. Any idea which team wins it? That come from behind by Georgia was remarkable, but it also demonstrated the holes in that offense.
Done.
If Alabama wins next week.."oh. Look at us. We won the national championship. Yet we couldn't even win our division."
Nah, what we'll say is what any team in the playoffs with one loss would, "It was a hard fought game against a fine opponent."
Few teams go undefeated. Alabama lost one game to a team that split wins with the eventual conference champion. So what that one loss tells you is how good the SEC is at the top, and that at the very top any team is vulnerable on a given week. True in the NFL too. Ask the Pats. And teams that don't win their conference sometimes win the SB. Which is one reason why the people who put the playoff together didn't make conference championships a requirement.
We just beat the number one team in the nation. Now we have to face a very good Georgia for all the marbles. I don't know who will win that contest, but I do know whichever team does will deserve it for the only reason that really matters, they were better on the day. Hats off to them.
