But Georgia was 6th in the SEC up until the last few years, and now you want to try to pretend you’re the SEC’s #2 all time?
I don't understand how UGA would be 6 of 6 in the rankings before 2021. UGA still had more conference wins, better records, and head to head records against most other big 6 teams. The only metric that would make sense would be titles, assuming you're not counting 1942.
Even then titles are not easy to come by, so downplaying some because they are the most recent is disingenuous. They are the biggest metric, but not the only one.
You have to realize that we are in a point in time where UGA is on a roll and has very good odds to get more titles in the next few years. That should not count against a team.

they wouldn't be, by any metric. The person you are responding to is simply an idiot and should be ignored.

After the 2016 season, here is where teams ranked in all-time AP points (25 pts for a 1st place finish, 24 pts for 2nd, etc)
2. Bama- 1015
9. Tennessee- 686
11. LSU- 624
13. Auburn- 555
14. Georgia- 550
16. Florida- 499
At that time, Florida and LSU had 3 National Titles, Auburn and Tennessee had 2. And Georgia had just one.
Georgia was easily 6th out of 6. Not until UGA won its second title in 2021 did they pull ahead of Auburn and Florida.
