Maybe Georgia should be known as the top SEC job and not Alabama or LSU or Florida.


Definitely has the most potential, IMO.

With the amount of talent that comes out of Georgia, recruiting should probably be the easiest out of all SEC schools, including LSU - and way easier than Bama. They also don't have a formidable in-state opponent, unlike Alabama and Florida.

this is such a lazy argument. True there is only one other "major" school in state, but you do realize that gt, clemson, UT, SC, bama, and AU are all within a 4 hour drive of athens, and UF and FSU are both an hour or so from the state line. It's easy to say that bama has such "in state competition", but it's only 20 miles shorter from auburn to tuscaloosa as auburn to athens.

Given the way we recruit FL, NC, TN, and are beginning to recruit MS, LA, and MD, yeah we're starting to destroy in recruiting even moreso than our normal top 10 average.

You're right, we have Bama, UF, Clemson, FSU, Auburn, Tennessee, South Carolina, and LSU to regularly contend with. Occasionally, Notre Dame, USCw, and Stanford.

Geographically, GA is unlike most any other heavily recruited state in that it's not as spread out as TX or CA and it is almost entirely surrounded unlike FL. Couple this with the fact that the metro ATL area is mostly transient kids from yankee families (or inner city kids with no natural allegiance) and it's basically fair game. We do remarkably well in-state considering.
