Georgia can't stack up with those listed in the OP, only because we don't have multiple titles. We do have a pretty good run though.
1980- 12-0, SEC and National Champions
1981- 10-2, SEC Champions
1982- 11-1, SEC Champions (lost in NCG)
1983- 10-1-1, #4 ranking
1984- 7-4-1
The 1984 year really drags this period down, but it did include 3 straight SEC titles, a national title, a heisman, and 4 top 10 finishes.
I don't know how UGA fans put up with Richt, knowing this type of run is possible there.

Herschel Walker was really the main reason for their success from 1980-1982.
It really is incredible to me how Georgia has underperformed throughout their history. They are sitting on what is arguably the fourth most talent-rich state in the country behind Texas, California, and Florida; they recruit heavily in Florida and have a pretty good pipeline running into that state; they have an awesome campus and amazing facilities. Yet, with all of that said, they can't make it over the hump. Richt has come close three times (2002, 2007, and 2012) but his team always ends up wetting the bed in one or two games every year.
