No one claimed they were. But Georgia was 6th in the SEC up until the last few years, and now you want to try to pretend you’re the SEC’s #2 all time? That’s not possible unless the gap is so narrow between #2 and #6 that a program can climb that far that fast.

We’ve been in the conference the same number of years and UGA won it 13 times vs 8 for AU, not including anything to do with 2021/2022…more than any team not named Bama (tied with LSU I believe. Before 2021 UGA had more total wins, a better winning percentage and more bowl wins than any team other than Bama or UT.

Your post is silly at no point in recent history was UGA sixth in the conference.

I don't understand how UGA would be 6 of 6 in the rankings before 2021. UGA still had more conference wins, better records, and head to head records against most other big 6 teams. The only metric that would make sense would be titles, assuming you're not counting 1942.

Even then titles are not easy to come by, so downplaying some because they are the most recent is disingenuous. They are the biggest metric, but not the only one.

You have to realize that we are in a point in time where UGA is on a roll and has very good odds to get more titles in the next few years. That should not count against a team.

Bro, you need to stop man. You are making a fool of yourself and playing right into the Auburn little brother stereoptype. And this isn't even in response to Alabama...
