very intriguing proposition. Ive been going to uga games since 1975 and saw every single one of these teams in person.
So are we going on dominance? talent? accomplishments? record? your personal favorite teams/players/moments?
you cant really do it 'tournament style' because obviously the 2022 team would hang a hundred on the 1980 team.
So i'd say it's based on accomplishments, almost accomplishments and success against their contemporary opposition.
This is easy, actually.
2022 undefeated undisputed sec and national champ. dominated competition
1980 undefeated and undisputed sec and national champ but didn't exactly dominate
2021 national champ who got KNOCKED THE frick OUT in seccg
1982 dominated sec, sec champ lost CLOSE national championship game
1981 dominated sec, sec champ, lost CLOSE games on the road at clemson( the eventual national champ) after committing SIX turnovers and lost to Dan fricking Marino in the sugar bowl on last minute long pass
2017 yes probably one of my fave ga teams. SEC champ, one play from natty, but got KNOCKED THE frick OUT on the road at AU
2002 SEC champ. pretty dominant (road games at SC and AU literally came down to last play). found a way to lose to a shitty uf team.
2023. Incomplete. AWS (Aint won shite) but did go undefeated in reg seas
1983 Cotton Bowl champs when that meant something. Post Herschel tied clemson and lost heartbreaker to AU. Stunned undefeated Texas in cotton probably costing them a claim to the natty
2012 AWS yeah seccg/defacto ncg came down to last play. but this team got TOTALLY frickING HUMILIATED by south carolina
oh and to the chump who said VD was just 'good'? give me a break. Vince started coaching pre integration and coached right up to the pre modern era(spurrier saban). He won the SEC in three different decades. How many other coaches did that? He won an undisputed Natty and had three or four more teams right at the door step. That is fricking great.

Problem for UGA is the conference next year will be the hardest they have ever experienced which is a good thing so they can’t break the 47 game win streak lol. If they go undefeated next year I think UGA dynasty will be the greatest of all time . Hate to tell you guys but no one is beating them this year again . I think Bama defense will keep it close but UGA offense may just be to much to handle . Some Bama fans are in denial right now some are not but when the game ends it will all be quite evident . I have said it all year even when you guys were bashing them .

Up 7-0 Richt richted and put Freshman DJ Shockley in cold for no reason
Richt had a true QB rotation going with Greene/Shockley. He had done this all year, yet here you are with the "for no reason" statement.
1/13 on third down had nothing to do with Shock throwing that int. It also had no bearing on Edwards dropping that deep pass that was an easy 7.
All these years later, and people still blaming the Shockley interception.

2021 and 2017 would have boatraced the 1980 team. If you had no passing game, you weren't scoring against that 2021 defense.

I had to look it up just to confirm if my memories were correct.
Georgia had 7 yards passing against Notre Dame and 83 yards against Pitt.
Quarterback play in those days was not Georgia strong suit.
It got slightly better when Lastinger replaced Belue but by then Herschel was gone.

All of the 2000s teams would have killed the 80s teams which would have killed the 40s & 50s teams.
The best way to think about it is comparing dominance for that particular year or era

Unpopular opinion maybe, but Belue was a stiff. He wouldn't make the scout team today.

The 2012 SEC conference championship game was the de facto national title game & UGA's 2012 team was a play or two away from winning that game and would have demolished ND like Bama did.
Todd Grantham was the D Coordinator for UGA he couldn’t stop Fat Eddie Lacy and Amari Cooper with a defense that included 7 NFL draft picks. Grantham would go on to fail upwards for a decade.

There isn't a soul alive anywhere, including Valdosta, that would put up an argument with this assessment. If not for the Belue to Scott pass (Lindsey also settled in Valdosta after the NFL. I think he's out in Homerville, now) most wouldn't even know that Belue even existed.

Head coaches were impressed with his large play book. Players that we had drafted to the NFL would talk about how complicated it was when compared to the NFL systems they moved on to.
I guess he fancied himself a genius of sorts, but the reality is that he was unnecessarily complicated when it came to his schemes.

I would go with 2021 over 2022, just because even though the offense wasn’t at its peak, that defense was just jaw dropping dominant, even losing one its best players halfway though. Had the WR/TE corps not been decimated by injury, the offense would likely have rivaled 2022.

It's all relative and you can only compare him to the QB's and teams he was competing against back then.
Led the SEC in passing efficiency his Sr year and first team All SEC.Also a heck of an athlete who still holds the UGA record for single season BA.

Why the hate for 2022? Only 15-0 in UGA history. 2021 didn’t win the SECCG

Gave up football. I was only running ECO/PCO off the field, but soccer has only gotten busier for me and something had to give.
When I give up soccer for good (sooner rather than later if I’m honest), I may pick football up again.
