THAT'S how you answer that question.

You don't base your success on one other program. I'm specifically talking about LSU who uses one game to determine a successful season. When you finish number 16 or 18 in the country but you are ecstatic with your season but won that one game, you are a loser.

Well done Kirby

There is no right answer because "surpassing another program" isn't true until it's so obvious the question no longer gets asked. Kirby is smart to avoid clown questions like this.

Wait...we were "lucky to dodge Alabama this past year"? Uh, don't you mean, Bama was lucky to dodge UGA? We mopped the floor with two teams that took down the Tide. What makes you think we would have been in danger playing them?

Depends on what people are talking about. Historically? If Georgia ever passes Bama as a historical program, none of us here are gonna be alive to see it.

That's not even an argument.

Are we talking since Kirby has been UGA's coach. Probably not since Kirby is down in the head to head.

But it seems to me there are a lot of people conflating all-time, the last five to ten years and right now, as in right now at this time.

If we're talking right now, the answer is yes. I mean it's like when those NBA analysts were arguing Lebron or Jokic during that playoff series. Lebron is obviously the better player all-time and maybe even since Jokic came into the league. But right now? I mean that's not a conversation.

This is the stupidest thing ever said. One team did everything they could to make that matchup happen. The other fell short and then talks as if we were somehow lucky because they weren't good enough.

Before Saban dropped into your lap y’all laughably bombed coaching hires with Dubose, Fran, Shula, and Price.

Auburn had one bad coach.

UGA is probably the better team right now, but that head to head record is pretty lopsided in Bama’s favor for the last 15 years or so.

Which has nothing to do with if Georgia has surpassed Alabama.

Georgia (right now) has surpassed Texas, Michigan, USCw, Nebraska, ND and some other "Blue Bloods".

Can you honestly say that those programs (RIGHT NOW) are better than Georgia's?

If you want to talk historically it would be a different conversation, but the question is talking about today, not historically.

I was re-watching this years LSU game and how good Garrett Nussmeier was and thinking, we might not face Bama next year, either.

I don't know if he will be LSUs starter but that kid moved their team all over the place in the championship game.

Seems UGA is right there. Unfortunately for LSU and Auburn it’s been a great season run here and there then slip back a bit. Let’s see what Tennessee has to say about it also.

How many of your previous screw-ups are still on Auburn's payroll?...Now check The Tide's payroll.

What is UGA's record with Alabama under Smart?

With Bama's two starting WR in the SECCG, Bama won
Without the two WR in the title game, Bama lost.
UGA could not cover those two
or Smart would not even have that win.

Smart and UGA had better pray they do not play Alabama this year (or next)

You are proving his point with this post.

Enjoy living in the past. Uga is back to back despite it.
