UGA fan brought up Bama. Georgia's best teams have not been able to beat them. Thus, still no national championship. As has been said, Kirby loses the big games, just like Richt. You can deny it all you want, but it's true. You lost to LSU, Bama, and Texas.

I wonder why they mysteriously keep ignoring the fact that Kirby doesn't have a winning record against teams that finished ranked.

I don't blame them for wanting to believe. 40 years is a long time, especially for such a delusional fanbase.

Ignoring the obvious for a moment... Is this the new variation on "Kirby's record against the West" now that I've destroyed the myth that Dan Mullen was somehow impressive in his efforts in the West?

Let's take a look at the numbers?

09 - 1-4 against teams finishing ranked
10 - 0-4
11 - 0-5
12 - 0-4
13 - 0-6
14 - 1-3
15 - 0-3
16 - 0-3
17 - 1-3
18 - 2-2

So in Mullen's entire career, he's amounted to 5 wins against ranked teams... out of 42 attempts... for a solid 11.9% win percentage against teams finishing ranked.

Kirby in 3 years...
16 - 1-2
17 - 4-2
18 - 2-3

7 out of 14 for .500 against teams finishing ranked. I'll let you figure out how many coaches can say they've managed that in their first 3 seasons in the SEC as a head coach while playing in 2 conference championship games and a CFP and National Championship game appearance...
