Oh I totally agree! However, self control and patience are built into every position and the very heart of the game. Patient QBs wait for their OL to create time in the pocket for laser throws. DBs wait in the backfield for openings to create turnovers. DL are taught how to make the appropriate tackles that create big plays with the least amount of damage to receivers and QBs. Controlling aggression is something that is more than second nature. Of course, tempers flare and things happen, but there’s a time and a place. Channel that energy elsewhere, not onto team staff who play vital roles and especially not into personal foul calls that help the other team win when your team’s playoff contention hangs in the balance. I’m actually a Green Bay fan, so this hurt to see, but ultimately you can’t hope for the best outcome if you’re not the best version of yourself, especially when it counts.

No, the only difference was that Noah Ruggles missed a 50 yard FG at the end. That's all. They didn't lose because Georgia "showed up ... every week." That didn't matter for last Saturday's game.

CFP playoff history is filled with teams that lost, and even lost big, and eventually recovered to win the CFP.

I'm not saying UGA is undeserving. They won fair and square.

I just don't know what "no question they're the best" means. If it just means they won the CFP National Championship game, then it doesn't matter whether they won by 1 or 100 points.

Or, if it does have meaning, then you evaluate how convincingly they won their games. And they didn't win the semi-finals that convincingly.

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.

Reply to California Legislative Women's Caucus calls for removal of Dana White as UFC president by Responsible-Lunch815

Its a weak man that has to slap a women back. Yes she slapped him once then he slapped her 2 or more tines with much more force. Equality I guess, the grounds of showing both may have anger issues, yes. Maybe even the foundation for domestic abuse. Funny how alpha males show equality and insecurities

Then it's a meaningless statement to say there's "no doubt who's the best team." Even if Georgia lost 2 games by 20 points, all that matters is that they won the last game.

Every year, there's never any doubt who's the best team. It doesn't matter if you win by 1 or 100 points. Whoever wins the CFP National Championship is the "best" team. No doubt.
