I understand that it’s agonizing for fans of all the two-loss teams to watch another flawed two-loss team go to the championship game this year. There are surely some legitimate arguments to be made for several of them over LSU.

However, here’s one argument that I will call bullshit on every time: we totally would have whipped Team Z’s asses if we’d gotten to play them instead of Team X!

Great! No need to play the games then. Surely a 28-point spread and EVERYBODY calling the game one way means it’s impossible for the favorite to lose, right? Right? Oh, wait, what’s that? West Virginia did just that last night?

If you’ve read this far, you probably know who I’m talking about by now. Two of the most common refrains that have popped up from UGA fans today are “we, like, totally would have beat LSU if we were in the title game” and “we, like, would totally whip Tennessee’s ass if we played them now.”

Lots of smart people were picking UGA over Tennessee before the game was played this year, and I think you remember how that turned out. I have no reason to believe that Tennessee wouldn’t take 10-of-10 from the Bulldogs given that Georgia, under three coaches spanning two decades, has NEVER beaten a Tennessee team with an offense coached by David Cutcliffe.

But don’t let a little thing like a statistical reality get in the way of a good PR campaign.

I’ve already gone over this in a comment thread on Peach Pundit, but the problem here is that some UGA fans are taking the same approach to argument that my dumbass uncle was trying to make at the Thanksgiving table this year: if you can’t prove something didn’t or wouldn’t happen, it must be true, right?

He was talking about the Clintons’ alleged links to the unsolved deaths of 30+ people. You know, the allegations that even notorious Clinton-lover Ken Staar said were specious. He surely read about that in a chain email that looked sort of like this; one that would be slanderous if its premise didn’t fall so obviously under the category of bullshit that it should be considered a parody.

But because the deaths in question were mostly suicides or unsolved, there’s just enough of a window there for a few whack jobs to cry cover-up. Sure, there’s no evidence the Clintons killed those people, the reasoning goes. But there’s no evidence they DIDN’T either, so they must of done it!!!1! And we’re going to keep saying that until people believe it’s true!!!!!1!!11!!!!

Yes, certain UGA fans (particularly you Mark Bradley), I am comparing you to Vince Foster conspiracy theorists. You sound equally as stupid.

Here a few other things you can’t prove or disprove, so they must be true:
