Satire Should the NCAA redo the SEC Championship incase it was a big fluke?
No disrespect to Georgia, I'm a firm believer that them winning is a huge fluke and robs Alabama of truly accomplishing what they’re capable of. I've spent the last few minutes in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire regular season watching the Crimson Tide play great football it's just not fair.
If Alabama loses again I will face that Geogria deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to Alabama and College football

The Natty every year should be a Tuscaloosa invitational featuring Bama vs the best team that lost to Bama. Since that team already lost to Bama, it should be a best out of three, so the other team would have to win twice to be National Champions.

Unironically, I do think it's worth quite a bit and that it does (to some degree) offset that loss.
Like... the closest thing to undefeated without being undefeated is to have one loss, and then to beat the ever-living piss out of that team in a conference title rematch. When we sort teams by how many losses they have (which is frequently how teams are tiered at this juncture), UGA feels like they belong in a half-a-loss tier.

They aren't getting punished for participating in the SEC title game. They are getting punished for not participating. Like Texas, it's their loss to a bad team that keeps them out.

u/Adart54 Georgia Bulldogs • Oregon State Beavers Dec 07 '25
If they are 10-2 without playing in the SECcg they are in where they are ranked. If they aren't in then they were punished for playing the SECcg. Yes their loss to a bad team also contributes, but they were in before the SECcg so if they are out after they are punished for playing in it
Once again I don't really care either way, but just wanted to clarify what I was saying

I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the results tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is Bama losing? This can't be happening.

This is an all-timer. I was in that OP post when this happened. Was like ‘WTF?!’…and then I got it and have found it hilarious since.
The context was the Preds swept the Hawks. Chicago was the 1 seed, and they had won 3 Cups from 2010 to this (16-17). They were a dynasty with stars in a huge original 6 market, etc…this loss was essentially the door shutting down on them dominating/their dynasty run.
Kane and Toews were both 28, had just come off their early deals and both just were signed to massive contracts the year before that basically meant CHI had to trade/let a lot of supporting guys go.
So it was a huge shock and with all those other factors kinda felt like ‘the end’ of their window.

As a fellow Bama fan my only response is take off your crimson colored glasses. This isn't a fluke, we've played terrible in the last 3rd of the season and just got dominated. Lost to Oklahoma and barely beat Auburn.
If I was on the committee I'd be seriously considering vaulting Miami into the #10 spot ahead of us.

Am I the only one in this sub who's actually played organized tackle football before?
Like half of the comments I've seen on this sub are so obviously written by non-athletes that it's almost humorous.
When I was in high school (3 year starter for our varsity football team) I would get a full-on sprint going and clock the shit outta whoever had the ball. My coaches called me "speedhawk" as a nickname caus I had such a nose for the football and for those three seasons I was considered the most feared safety in our conference. Senior year I led my team to the state semifinals only to get fucked over by the refs in the 4th but that's another conversation (DM me if you're interested in hearing about it)
So, yeah. I hope yall can understand why I feel like their's such a big disconnect between myself and your typical redditor. Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way lol

Obviously the SEC is the one true conference. I would suggest something like a big tournament among SEC teams to start the season. Perhaps they each play 8 or so games against each other. At the end of it, the best two teams could play a game to determine the one true great team. At the end of it all, we could have some kind of single-elimination exhibition tournament where each other (obviously lesser) conference gets to send one team to play alongside the SEC champ just to see what happens.
