re: Big 6 permanent rivalry records since 1992

Georgia has had more consistency the last ten years or so in large part because of their coaching stability. Auburn fired a consistent winner in Tuberville because they were tired of plateauing and not meeting expectations, and saw that Nick Saban was building a monster at Alabama. He had gotten too comfortable and it was clear that Saban would dominate him in recruiting. Richt has won a lot of games, but coaches in a far weaker division and doesn't capitalize on it in the way many people think he should. The fact that UT and UF have struggled recently has amplified this perception.

It essentially boils down to whether or not you are willing to take chances on something new when you feel like the program is consistently not meeting expectations. Georgia's administration has chosen a more conservative approach than Auburn, and is fine with winning at that level. The fans may disagree, but on an administrative level that seems to be the case.
