re: What happened to Georgia football after 1982?

The two on this list I take umbrage with are also the two oldest: Clemson and Tech.

Clemson won theirs the year after ours (1981) and haven't sniffed one since (whereas we at least played for the title in 1982 and have at least come close to making it in the past decade or so). Same goes for Tech whose last title was in 1990 and wasn't even undisputed; they share the title with Colorado after beating #19 Nebraska in the Citrus Bowl.

And Georgia hasn't even done that.

In 1990 Colorado drew to Tennessee, lost to Illinois and Missouri, and only beat ND on a phantom clip call during Rocket's kick return. I have no idea what sort of mammoth media conspiracy it took to give them a share of the title, but it doesn't really matter for this discussion. It actually supports my point, which is this:

If you stumble around blindly in the southern football for 35 years, you're bound to win a national championship sooner or later just by recruiting and luck alone. The fact that even Tech could do it supports this position. So what's Georgia's problem? Facilities really?
