re: Individual games that cost your team a National Title

Yeah, need to add this one along with our 1988 loss to LSU in the "earthquake game" to the list. We are playing Notre Dame for the championship if we beat LSU that year instead of letting them come back at the last minute.

‘88 LSU was costly. But again, even if we had gotten a shot at Notre Dame that doesn’t mean we would have won that game.

In 2006 we would have a had a chance at a title if we hadn't lost to Arkansas (would have had to beat Florida for a second time in the SEC championship).

2006 Arkansas loss = 2006 Georgia loss. Either of these would have given us another shot at beating Florida again.

But there is certainly no guarantee we would have defeated Florida a second time or a guarantee we could have beaten Ohio State.

Again, this is not a question about what games cost a team a CHANCE at getting to play for a title…. It’s about games that had your team won you’d undoubtedly won the Championship.

By nature, all games since 1998 that cost a team a national title had to be National Title Games. But prior to ‘98, there are numerous regular season games that could have changed the outcome of the National Championship.
