And other schools winning national titles can sway those one or two guys into going to other schools and not UGA. That's my point.
You're naive. SEC dominance is an ESPN spun narrative these kids know, and they know nothing else. They were 8 and 9 years old the last time the "SEC" wasn't king. It might help Georgia less than any other program, but playing an SEC schedule is important to kids.

I know, and I've acknowledged that playing for an SEC team is a good draw. But what's an even BETTER draw is winning titles. In the mid 2000s kids would rather play for USC than bama, despite bama being SEC and being a top 2 program of all time, because USC was in the title hunt every year.
Teams that we play against (and recruit against) every year winning titles is detrimental to UGA.

I think this is backwards. ESPN didn't spin a narrative. A streak of BCS championships happened. SEC media fans/media would talk about the SEC being the toughest conference, but that didn't play nationally or especially at ESPN. ESPN was one of the last places to "spin" that narrative. Reality overwhelmed them.
