re: Richt vs Kirby after 3 years

so playing average oppoentns and bowl participants and having more success is seen as a "better coach and team" than playing stiffer competition and bigger/better bowl opponents? That doesn't make any sense. The 2017 team that lost in the NCG to bama isn't worse than our 03 team that beat purdue.

The Bowl as an example of superiority is bullshite. Some teams want to be there, others just go thru the motion. Injuries have a factor as does NFL prospects.

you asked to point out the great teams we played and I did. Now you're shifting the narrative to talk abotu if we won the games or not.

Playing "great teams" doesn't make you one. When you are less than .500 against the better teams, it shows the true quality of that team. Look at Clemson the last few years, they have been very successful but a lot of that has to due with the ACC. This is a team that lost to Pitt and Syracuse (2017) and almost to them again in 2018, but made the playoffs. Then you have 6 weeks to prepare for a game. I equate it to playing in the SECE. It would be different if Kirby wasn't 4-5 against the SECW.
