Why are Richt teams so good at revenge games against Auburn?

2005 - Auburn beats Georgia on a late 4th and 17 conversion to ruin Georgia's control of their own SEC destiny.
2006- unranked Georgia routs #5 Auburn on the Plains

2010- Fairly and co. rough up the team with their thuggish antics
2011- Georgia routs Auburn 45-7 at home

2013- Auburn converts one of the most iconic plays in SEC history on way to a SEC Championship
2014- Georgia routs #9 Auburn in Athens to end their outside title hopes.

I can't think of another team besides Tech where Richt has such a mental edge.

Auburn has lost control of Mark Richt.

Auburn beats UGA in entertaining fashion when it matters most (2004,2010,2013).

Unfortunately, UGA wins pretty big when it doesn't.

Has very little to do with Richt and a lot more to do with Auburn's inability to sustain success.

They've historically never been able to string together 2 consecutive elite seasons.

I think you can trace it back to the year Larry killed his father

We only play well when it doesn't really matter.

Richt is actually pretty good in revenge games against all teams, I do believe.

And thus - Fear The Richt, Bama.

Because, underneath that godly facade, Richt is one vengeful son-of-a-bitch who hold a grudge like nobody's business. His simmering rage is destroying his health and general well-being, and nobody but the wisest amongst us can see the clues.
