I wouldn't call 2017 a lackluster year for Auburn

4 losses, one to a non P5 team in a major bowl. A big loss in the SECCG. A loss to a LSU team when having a big lead. It certainly isn't the mark of a benchmark team, would you say?
A decent year? Yes. But the question you asked is why I thought Georgia was closer to being a benchmark program than Auburn. I wouldn't say Georgia is the benchmark program, just that we are closer than Auburn.

The only difference I see between the two this year is the difficulty of the schedule. UGA had a better signing class in 2018, but it's not like Auburn finished in the 30s.

But Auburn did not win the SEC, Georgia did with a win over Auburn. Add the recruiting class and that seems to answer your question as to why I think Georgia is closer right now than Auburn is to being a benchmark program.

(I'm not even sure what a benchmark program is, though.)
