This is my thought exactly. Is what Georgia has done even more impressive because of the spread offenses of today? If they finish this season with a strong defensive performance, they would have to be ranked among the elite, if not the greatest. It will be fun/interesting to see how it turns out.



It's 2021 yes, but they're still facing primarily run first offenses that don't really use tempo that effectively, and lack legitimate vertical threats to stretch the field.

They might as well have been playing in 2011 so far

I think your point is hard to argue against.

If they do match-up and Georgia can hold Alabama to single digits (even despite some of their struggles this year), and maybe an Ohio State, then we'll know.

They certainly look the part today, but I think it's fair to say that literally no one can answer this question right now.
