Actually we are usually underrated and tend to finish higher than we started many seasons at. Under Richt a lot of things didn't go our way, u see Kirby,we are doing the things to control our destiny, luck just hasn't allowed us to break through. shite officiating in the NC game and having to play alabama a game before the other playoff teams get blown out by them doesn't help.

Recruiting rankings:
2011 - #2 National, #1 ACC
2012 - #4 National, #1 ACC
2013 - #11 National, #1 ACC
2014 - #4 National, #1 ACC
2015 - #3 National, #1 ACC
2016 - #3 National, #1 ACC
2017 - #6 National, #1 ACC
2013 was the only recruiting class where opposing ACC teams were within a couple of spots nationally; all others, there were several between FSU and the next school (typically Miami). If Jimbo was a great "X and O" coach along with the obvious talent advantage, he should have RULED that conference well after the 3 year run. He out recruited Clemson the entire time he was there.
My point exactly.
Jimbo is a more progressive Les Miles, outdated offensive approach (though not nearly as outdated as Miles) and a great recruiter.

Agreed. Les was obsessed with the offenses of 1985. Jimbo is obsessed with the offenses of 2005. Just modern enough that an elite QB can still make it work at a high level.

Athens and Atlanta might actually burn down when this happens

The thing I find impressive about Fisher is just how much the guy really knows about football - just listen to him talk with ex players and coaches in interviews. It shows in the recruiting as well. He heavily pursued Anias Smith when virtually nobody else did, and our fast-rising OL recruit Hunter Erb was a zero star when he committed. He's also got the buy in from the team, and it is beginning to show
The man knows the game, and he's building A&M into a powerhouse. Is he there yet? No, we don't have the depth on OL quite yet. However, virtually every other position does, and he is recruiting some speed at WR to address a deficiency in the deep passing game this year.
The defense is straight up STACKED at this point, and getting better by the year. I'm excited to see what the next few years bring at A&M, but this is the SEC. Might as well call it the NFL JR league. And as stacked as A&M is, it isn't anything on Alabama and Georgia.

Basically.
What's interesting to note is that, from a national ranking perspective, Jimbo had a larger advantage in the ACC than Saban did in the SEC (because Saban was still competing with top 5 teams in terms of talent, while Jimbo was top 5 while the second best ACC team was top 15). He should have dominated the ACC even more thoroughly than Saban did the SEC during those years that Jimbo was there.
Can you imagine Alabama having a losing season, even if devastated by injuries, like Jimbo did in 2017? I could see losing to Alabama and Clemson regardless, but NC State? Blown out by Boston College?
And yes, I know FSU managed 7-6 in 2017, but they were 5-6 when Jimbo was gone.

UGA has had the 2nd or 3rd best team in the country like 4-5 times over the last 20 years. And living in Atlanta I have to say it's a ton of fun to mock them over their status as perpetual bridesmaid.
What's interesting is that, if not specifically for Alabama, Georgia would be the third best team of the past 10 years. Alabama kept them from winning the titles in both 2012 and 2017, and both in absurdly close games. If not for the Tide, UGA would have 2 titles, only behind Clemson and Alabama during that stretch.
The run almost looked like this:
2011 - Alabama
2012 - Georgia
2013 - Florida State
2014 - Ohio State
2015 - Alabama
2016 - Clemson
2017 - Georgia
2018 - Clemson
2019 - LSU
2020 - Alabama
(Other interesting note - if Auburn had managed to beat FSU in 2013, Alabama would have either won or played the eventual winner of the national title in every season since 2007).

Even with such deficiencies we somehow went into half with the lead.
Games are 4 quarters not 2. I don't see how JT Daniels changes that at all. You had a struggle win against an average Cincinnati team which was the best team he played against last year.

An early season loss to a mediocre South Carolina team in 2007 potentially cost them a shot at the championship that year because it kept them out of Atlanta. And then 2 of their 3 losses in 2003 came against a Nick Saban coached LSU. Taking into account the annual brutal arse kickings Florida gave them in the 90s, the bulk of their pain and suffering over the last 30 years can be attributed to Nick Saban and Steve Spurrier.

An average team? They finished in the top ten and you Tiger fans sure were getting moist at the possibility of adding their DC and then had to change your tampon after he went to ND instead. They were far from average.

If Georgia is going to make a run it is this year. They are deep at essentially every position except the secondary

Every team has questions.
For uga, it is the OL and CB.
We have talent on the roster, but little experience behind it.
It is college football. There will always be question marks for every team.
