I've seen Bama fans reference the last 6 games are the real measure of the Tide and not the first 6, so I went ahead and looked at the last 6 games for both UGA and Bama. As you'll see, it's pretty close, but I do think UGAs final 6 opponents were more challenging on the whole. The Bama offensive YPP stat is the one most impacted by the FCS game. Their YPP vs P5 teams over the final 6 games drops more than 3/4 of a full yard if you take it out of the equation. One note, the LSU running game was largely Jayden Daniels breaking long runs, and that has skewed Bama's YPC allowed. Not sure that's replicable for the Dawgs this weekend.
Bama Offense: 211 YPG rushing (5.29 YPC), 246 passing (10.7 YPA), 7.21 YPP
Bama Defense: 151 YPG rushing (4.7 YPC), 175 passing (6.1 YPA), 5.33 YPP
UGA Offense: 218 rushing (5.85 YPC), 272 passing (9.48 YPA), 7.4 YPP
UGA Defense: 132 YPG rushing (3.97 YPC), 187 passing (6.73 YPA), 5.35 YPP
