Which championship do you prefer? 2021’s or 2022’s?

Last year you got over a 40 year drought in the desert and overcame the Bama hump. It was your first in generations. But y’all had a loss in the SEC CG. This year was a repeat. Less sexy opponent or epic game for the title, but, undefeated and both SEC and National Champs.

So, which do you prefer? As a Bama fan I always have to weigh which team I prefer between the 09, 11, 12, 15, 17 and 20. All of em are special to me but the 09, 12, and 20 teams are the three that vie for my favorite.

so what say you? Did you prefer last years team to finally reach the top? Or this years team to defend it?
 
Also, please defend your answer.

And I will say if you want to claim they were more or less the same team, forget personnel and base on enjoyment of season or….whatever criteria you want.
 
It was completely different teams under completely different circumstances. It's hard to choose. Last year ended the drought. This year was a hungry young team. Kirby said it was easier this year because of all that UGA lost from last season's team. I agree.

I have bled Red and Black for 4+ decades. Last year was special, but, for me, having the young guys this season step up and become leaders and play makers.... That's special. Malaki Starks, Bear Alexander are just a couple of names that come to mind. True Freshmen that came in and became immediate leaders. I'd say that this season was better for me. It showed that Kirby wasn't lying when he said "this team isn't a one and done" after the 2021 win over Bama.

This year is my answer. 15-0 is better than 14-1 and Kirby did it with a MUCH younger team.

I didn’t realize your team was that young. How’s your QB situation looking for next year? Do Dawg fans expect to make another run at the CFP?

Carson Beck was the Florida Gatorade player of the year coming out of HS as a 4-star. 6'4" 220 and a cannon arm, he's been with Monken for 3 seasons now, and understands the playbook. Prototypical pocket passer with NFL potential. His backup will likely be Gunner Stockton who now owns all of the QB records in Georgia high school football. Passing and rushing, yardage and TDs. I feel pretty good about next years team making a strong run.

Smart’s first championship team made Georgia a party wrecker.

Two in a row proved the Bulldogs are here to stay.

A three-peat? That would be unprecedented in the modern era.

Set aside history, though, and examine Georgia’s returning roster, and you can understand why sportsbooks pegged the Bulldogs as the early favorite to win next season’s national championship.

The Bulldogs must replace quarterback Stetson Bennett IV, but they are set to return three backup quarterbacks who were well-regarded recruits. A majority of the offensive and defensive starters from Georgia’s national championship romp are expected to return, and a wave of talented underclassmen are primed for bigger roles.

So, who’s going to trip up Georgia? Perhaps Georgia itself, according to its coach. With so many returners, Smart worries foremost about fending off complacency.

“I do think it's going to be much tougher,” Smart said Tuesday. “And we have a lot of guys, in my opinion, that are going to come back, and it's easy to get comfortable. And comfortable does not win.”

Supreme talent usually rules the day, though, and few, if any, teams will match Georgia’s 2023 assembly.

Tennessee won't match that assemblage, but scheme and a rabid crowd can be a bit of an equalizer.

More likely, the Vols become a taller hurdle than most but a hurdle that Georgia nonetheless clears in prolonging its rule.
