King made his top 10 lists from the Goff/Donnan years and the Richt years.

He had to combine Goff and Donnan to come up with a top 10.

I do disagree with his number 3 ranking on the Goff/Donnan years of the 1997 season Outback Bowl. Wisconsin was a pretty bad team that year. I wouldn't rank that win in the top 20.

In retrospect, shutting down Ron Dayne was an incredible job by the defense that day. Dayne had arguably the best career of any college RB of all time.

My favorites from Donnan era:

1. 1997 UF
2. 1996 AU
3. 1997 GT
4. 1998 UVA
5. 1998 LSU

Richt:

1. 2001 Tenn
2. 2012 UF
3. 2006 AU
4. 2009 GT
5. 2007 UF

ETA: Those were the ones off the top of my head, and I'm a huge fan of games that spoil a rival's season. I could edit this list every 5 minutes or so and 3-5 in both eras would be completely different.

I saw most of the home games from the Goff years. The only one I care to remember was the first game after he was dumped.

Yeah I would have 2013 LSU in place of either 2014 Clemson or 2002 tech.

Also, how does 2009 tech not make the list?

I am truly shocked he would put the 05 SECCG as richt's best win.

-It wasn't his first time going to the SECCG
-It wasn't his first time winning the SEC
-It wasn't his first time beating LSU

Just seems very random.

I actually think the best game UGA played under Richt was the 2005 SEC title game. LSU had a damn good team that year and we got waxed

ETA: We legit should have been 11-0 going into that game WG. That was a great LSU team
