Exactly! UGA has been irrelevant up until the last 3-4 years

Irrelevant???? Ahem, UGA should've won the 2017 title but lost in OT to Bama in the title game by 3.

UGA should've played for the 2012 title, but lost to Bama (again) in the last 5 seconds due to clock mismanagement.

In 2007 -- yes, Tigers, 2007 -- LSU leapfrogged UGA in the polls even though you were ranked two spots lower and you were chosen by the computer to play Ohio State over us and this was the only reason you got to even play for the title. Everybody knew UGA was a better team than LSU that season even though we didn't win our division that year.

UGA finished #2 in 2002 and won the SEC again in 2005. I'd hardly call that being irrelevant.

LSU has had far more losing seasons than UGA, too.

Oh, oh, oh....lest I forget....UGA just finished winning TWO -- TWO -- TW0 NATIONAL TITLES BACK-2-BACK, a first in the CFP history. LSU ain't ever come close to this.

UGA has 4 SEC titles in 20 years.
LSU has 4 SEC titles in 20 years.

UGA has a 77.94% winning % in 20 years.
LSU has a 75.09% winning % in 20 years.

UGA has 1 season below .500 in 20 years.
LSU has 2 seasons below.500 in 20 years.

UGA has played in 3 natty's and won 2, on the field.
LSU has played in 3 natty's and won 3, one on the field and the other 2 in beauty contests where one year there were 2 equally pretty teams selected as national champions.

IF UGA has been irrelevant in 16-17 years of the last 20 LSU is right there with them....in reality both have been pretty impressive over the last 20 years and, had Alabama not been a dynasty the likes of which CFB has never seen there is little doubt that both would have been even more impressive...and LSU may have been very impressive over that span.
