Yeah, they are simply missing some critical parts they had in the past three years.  And fans are apopletic and do blame Beck and his girlfriend.

If Ewers had been Dr. Jekyll and not Mr. Hyde in that game, UGA would've lost it too.

The biggest victim of the old system had to have been Penn State or Auburn.  Undefeated and unrewarded seasons in '68, '69, '73, and '94 for the Lions, and the same for AU in 2004, plus probationary 1993 as well as being leapfrogged in 1983, despite being the highest-ranked team to win their bowl and having face the nation's toughest schedule. 
.
Penn State may have been viewed as a 'less than' in the late 60s (or not, idk), but they had the Heisman winner in '73, just the bad luck of nearly every helmet program having an undefeated regular season (with undefeated OSU and UM tying).  But 1994 made no sense.  To this day, I consider them a split NC with Nebraska.
.
Auburn in 04 just had the bad luck of being 1 of 3 undefeated teams, plus USC blowing out OU, plus having a ho-hum win over VT itself.  The 1993 team was never seriously considered for the NC, because it wasn't FSU or ND.  1983 was a farce.  Miami lost it's first game and Auburn lost its second, so both were on long win streaks.  Yes, Miami slayed Goliath Nebraska, but Auburn closed its season with wins over #4, #5, #7, #18, and #9.  Consecutively. 
There's no rational argument for Auburn not being the 1983 NC, at least not behind Miami.

I dont agree with you on Penn St 1969
Jo Pa turned down a chance to play Texas in the Cotton Bowl that year for the NC
so UT played Notre Dame for the NC instead

They ducked us

It's weird that they wanted all their players to be allowed to stay at the same hotel, huh?  
They ducked racism, friend.

nope racism was not the reason

The players wanted to play in the Orange Bowl more then the Cotton Bowl and a possible NC

If you know differently please post the source

What was really interesting is the fact that Jo Pa's main complaint was that the President declared UT number one instead of allowing the matter to be decided by the polls but when they were extended an invite to play UT for the NC they turned it down

UGA fans on SM are ... fanatical, and wanting to blame someone, a lot of someone's.  I think it's just a team with holes than is not as good as the past three years.  That would be a simple explanation.  I don't think any position is as good as last year, maybe the LBs when healthy are comparable.  The OL was thought to be a strength but has shown to be leaky, one injury has a part in that.  But every team has injuries, some have a lot.

This team is still in the pretty good range I think and are favored at home against Tennessee.  They might go 10-2, which is what I expected preseason, and make the playoff.

I liked Royal's response which was something along the lines of:

"I don't know why he's campaigning for a national championship on a soapbox in Pennsylvania when he could have played for it on the field in Dallas."
