Is that not true?

Unless you play Alabama in the SECCG, statistically we will be the best defense you’ve faced all season. Rated higher than Clemson as well (who has played one less game).

That doesn’t mean you haven’t played anybody. Or claiming an outright win. But I don’t see where there’s a falsehood in claiming so far we’d be the best defense you’ll play. There’s literally stats to back that claim up.

I literally replied to that link in another thread.

Kentucky is giving up 305 ypg.
4.609 ypp.
17.5 ppg

Auburn is giving up 322 ypg.
Prior to UGA, that was 300.2 ypg
Auburn is giving up 4.85 ypp
Prior to UGA, that was 4.56 ypp
Auburn is giving up 19.1 ppg
Prior to UGA, that was 16.2

In the week leading up to UGA, Arkansas had an even better defense than Auburn.
And so on. And so on.
UGA has literally heard about how each week's opponent is the best defense and best rushing attack for 3 weeks now.
