all I can say is

Georgia has won six (1920, 1927, 1942, 1946, 1968, 1980) national championships from NCAA-designated major selectors. Georgia claims both the 1942 and 1980 national championships.

In addition to the 15 claimed by the Alabama program, the Official NCAA Football Records Book has cited 5 additional championship years for which a case could be made for Alabama to hold the title: 1945, 1962, 1966, 1975 and 1977.

I count them by what the standard bearer was at the time.

For seasons 2014-2020 that's been the playoff: Bama 3, Georgia 0.

For seasons 1998-2013 that was the BCS: Bama 3, Georgia 0.

For seasons 1936-1997 that was the AP poll (counting tied for 1st): Bama 7, Georgia 1.

Before that I count the Rose Bowl (since the newspapers all ran stories like "Who is going to be picked as champions of the east and champions of the west?" and "Who will win to prove they're the best in the country?", and counting tied game): Alabama 4, Georgia 0.

I sum that up as Bama 17, Georgia 1.
