But let's not ignore the fact that all 3 of UGA's biggest rivals have been in the gutter the last 3 years
You mean like Auburn, LSU and Tennessee?
quote:
and really no east team outside of UT last year and Mizzou this year has really been worth a shite either.
Remind us who is really, really tough in the West again? Ole Miss?
As for last year... you mean the Tennessee team we bat and the team that beat Alabama?
quote:
Their west opponents outside of AU have been Mississippi State, Arkansas, and Ole Miss. Those are the facts.
And yet we beat LSU (that beat Alabama.) And Tennessee beat LSU and Alabama, so maybe the east was the stronger division last year?
Missouri is tougher than any team out of the west, and Tennessee would be considered as tough as the #3 team from the West. Those are facts.

You are going to have to give me more than
You want to compare schedules, then let's compare schedules.
In 2008 Florida and Georgia were highly ranked and Ole Miss was the first west team (not Alabama) at #14. The only west team ranked were Ole Miss and Alabama.
In 2009 it was Alabama at #1 and the next west team was LSU at #17.
Your first year you have a case would be 2010. Auburn at #1, LSU at #8, Arkansas AT #12. but then Alabama did not do well at #10. (relatively speaking)
In 2017 there was Alabama #1, Georgia #2 and Auburn (who we both play) at #10.
In 2018 we had Alabama at #2, LSU at #6 but Florida was at #7 and we played Florida and LSU that year. Kentucky was #12.
In 2019 LSU was #1 (we played them in the SECCG), Florida was #6,
Explain to me how Alabama's schedule was so much harder in those years and Georgia's was some piece of cake?
