“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
Hard to see us as the favorite, but I do think we have a good path laid out for us. Just win, baby!

It would behoove the Georgia players, coaches and fans to focus on the game in Jacksonville before once again beating on the drums of delusion!

Seems crazy and delusional doesn’t it? But as Russ said, the path for us getting there isn’t unreasonable. The next two games will be difficult but the clear obstacle to getting to Atlanta (and thus Dallas) is Auburn which is not only at home, but also looks to be an off the charts Gurley fest for UGA fans. (Wonder if that makes CBS have to select us at 3:30 and screw us out of our only night game?) Get by that and you have one game against the West winner, none of whom look untouchable. Who knows about the next two playoff teams because it could be as scary as Oregon, or as comfy as ND type teams.
Cannot argue because it is plausible, not totally crazy or delusional, but still seems a long shot. Our path just looks better than the teams in the West because we have fewer, known “boogey men” in our way. Just go 1-0 every week.

You would think by now that people here could post smiley faces and words yall have used here to those posts I’ve made while predicting exactly this resultant with a straight face. When I’ve posted that the Dawgs can and will win it all – crickets.
What the hell. Did you think I was on pot?

No, we pretty well knew that. But didn’t we all know it was possible? It has just become more likely in the past three weeks. You were delusional back then, now the fog is lifting and you are on more stable ground.

With our luck, we get Gurley back at Auburn, win out and win the National Championship, and then the NCAA would decide Gurley’s punishment wasn’t strict enough and we would have to forfeit all games he played in

And, because of repeated violations (Green and Gurley), UGA is found to lack institutional controls and is given the death penalty. Meanwhile, UNC goes on to win the national championship in basketball.

Alabamians don’t spell too good due to the difficulty of seeing the conpooter screen from all the white out.
