I go back and forth on whether it was better to beat Bama in the ATL and win the NCG easily...

or lose and win the way we did with the huge comeback in the fourth quarter, after getting that "Oh, no. Not again." feeling on the Stetson sack/fumble.

Winning them all- Would have more people saying greatest D ever and some saying greatest team ever. This assumes we win the SECCG in the same fashion we won the NCG.

Winning the way we did- Brought more emotion. It would have been an almost foregone conclusion we were gonna win if we had won the SEC. And the CG would have likely been Michigan, who we beat like a drum in the semis. I don't know if we would have had the grown men crying aspect without the Bennett TD passes and Ringo pick six after losing the first game and then falling behind in the NCG.


I think I prefer the way it went down. When the Braves won in 1995, I was happy, but not nearly as I would have been had they won in 1991 or as happy as I was this year. Even though they had never won in Atlanta, it just felt obvious that year the Braves were the best team. It felt that way this year, but Bama made us doubt it which provided the pouring out of emotion with the Ringo pick.
