Whoa, slow down there Dawg fans...I'm excited that you'll get to go to a major bowl, but a shot at the National Championship? Tell me the last National Champ who didn't even win (or play in) their Conference Championship?

Nebraska in 2001, perhaps?

Yes, it would have been ideal for us to win the SEC, but that wasn't in the cards for us this year. Perhaps we should leave the SEC, so we can play in an easier conference, where we are guaranteed a conference championship every year, so we can play for the national championship?

Nah, to be the best, you have to play the best, week in and week out. Plus, I'd miss all of the rivalry fun!

A thousand times YESSSS!!! I love SEC Football.

Thanks for the answer. I just started appreciating NCAA football about 3 years ago, so I wouldn't have had a clue.

The answer? As in "Nebraska in 2001?" Nebraska was not the National Champion in '01.

Oops! Sorry, I thought you meant played in the national championship, since you mentioned that UGA had no business even thinking of playing in the game since they won't have won the SEC Championship. It has happened in the past and given our topsy-turvy college football world this year, nothing should shock anyone anymore.

I think the last non-conference champion who won at least a share of the national championship was UT in 1950. I could be wrong, as I am not a UT fanatic. If you know, please enlighten me!

Not all of the SEC play fluff OOC games. That's one thing UGA has been working on the last few years. Last year, UGA played Boise State and Colorado. This year, UGA beat OK State and Troy. Next year, we pick up Arizona State University. Of course, we always play GA Tech every year, too.
