UGA has underachieved in the fact that they do not have a national title by now especially with all that elite talent.
Not to take a cheap shot or pile on too much, but this really is the #1 answer for underachieving.
As dominant as the SEC has been, as much talent as UGA has, the continuity in coaching, and as relatively weak as the East has been since Meyer's departure and the demise of UTk, it seems like it would have all come together at least once in a manner that doesn't involve having the rug ripped out from underneath them in the final 2 minutes of a CG.
Overacheivers: Mizzou, 2 SEC Division titles. Granted they were in years when Troy would have had a shot to win the East, but they still managed it.
Under/Overachievers: Auburn's roller coaster program.

Auburn is the king of overachieving and it is all due to the rivalry between Alabama and Auburn. If the Iron Bowl was a typical in state rivalry Auburn wouldn't be as dedicated to competing with Alabama but given the year round attention paid to the iron bowl Auburn has to be as good as Alabama most years and better occasionally or the entire staff is gone...from top to bottom. Usually when you are better than Alabama you are in the hunt for a pretty good season.
