That gap is closing. UGA is on the verge of entering into "national" state school territory, similar to UNC, UT, UM, UVA, etc. UGA still has a way to go to reach that level, but it has the history, money, and large state backing at this point.

Meanwhile, Michigan will probably decline in that category in coming decades.


We're getting there...

UGA named a ‘Public Ivy’ school...
quote:

09.10.2012
The University met requirements to be considered a “Public Ivy” institution, according to educatedquest.com, which provides information and reviews of schools. Public Ivies are schools with honors programs that can compete with a traditional Ivy League school and give students 'an Ivy League education at a state school price.'

Once we get Medical school and hit 1 billion endowment and AAU membership... we will be as respected as University of Maryland and University of Pittsburgh... but will take time.

It's really better to play a home game in the afternoon cause you can put the setting sun directly in the visitors eyes. The fans should be able to scream the same, day or night. But I guess the LSU faithful need the whole day to get drunk again.
Bama's record in BR 24-9-2. Better winning % record than LSU has in it's own house. Bama is obviously immune to any home field advantage.

The only thing Michigan has on Georgia are academics, and that's not by a huge margin either.



Oh yes it is.

maybe so. I sure don't see Les up there. I think he likes where he is and the intensity of SEC fans too much to go to a watered down version.

Public Ivies according to Greene’s Guides
Following Richard Moll’s 1985 book Public Ivies: A Guide to America’s best public undergraduate colleges and universities, Howard and Matthew Greene of Greene’s Guides in their 2001 book The Public Ivies: America’s Flagship Public Universities expanded upon Moll’s list of Public Ivies to include 30 colleges and universities. While Moll’s list of Public Ivies focused on a large variety of factors, the Greene’s list focused on public schools whose academic programs were of a comparable quality to those offered by traditional Ivy League institutions.

Mark Richt is looking to 2016 and Jacob Eason. Eason looks to be the best QB recruit that Richt has every had including all the other UGA and FSU QBs.

Without a doubt. Michigan is arguably one of the top public schools in the country. UGA is a good school, but they aren't on the level of Michigan.

While I doubt Marc Richt leaves or even has much interest, he would be an attractive candidate for them for many reasons. He's proven to be a consistent winner in a much tougher conference and he has the reputation of being a good man.


While all that is true, he is also 1-5 against Urban Meyer.

Hiring a guy with a winning percentage of 17% against the current head coach of your biggest rival with all games played between teams of equal talent on a neutral field isn't really a recipie for success.

How many times has Brady Hoke beat Urban?
