While there is something to be said for history, how much do previous games or trends actually affect the outcome of an upcoming contest between the same two schools?
I believe that programs can just have a mental edge over another based off trends/past results.
For example since the 90's Florida just has UGA's number. Even in our best years they either beat us or give us a scare. No matter how bad they are this happens.
Another example would be UGA over Auburn, so I can see why you wouldn't want to believe in the existence of a mental edge.

Since 1962, UGa had a record of 24-2 at home versus Vandy going into last season, and had won 46 of their last 52 contests with the 'Dores. Why didn't your "mental edge" make the difference in that game?

You're probably right except the monkey on the shoulders is self inflicted. Winning against UGA has become unnecessarily too much of an obstacle only because we never put the monkey down, which allows the monkey to grow into something it should've never been. Gus has yet to call a good Georgia game.
