Do you see an obvious improvement in how UGA has recruited over the past 2 years compared to the other years?
He's already addressed this. He said, and is correct, that there isn't a huge difference between a top 3 class and a top 8 class. Improvement, yes. Program changing improvement, no. If you consistently recruit top 10 classes, you have the players necessary to win a national title. After that, it's all coaching and a little bit of luck. Kirby has won a conference title. That's a great start but he isn't the first SEC coach to do that within 2 years, and many of them were not able to sustain success. So to say he's on the verge of recreating Saban is extremely premature.

College football has been a very watered down product for a few years. But that’s what happens when coaching turnover is what it’s become.
What exactly do you mean in "the past few years"?
Was it watered down in 2007 when you lost to UK and Arkansas and won a NC?2010?2011 (of course not becasue that was the last time LSU was relevant,right?) Please name the years which you are referring to.

Your front 7 was fresh the entire game because Auburn couldn't move the chains due to their best player being hurt. Eventually, that starts to wear on a team, and it still took UGA until the 4th quarter to blow the game open. I just don't see why you're so dismissive of the impact of Auburn having Johnson playing hurt and coming in and out of the game all night.
This sounds good in theory, but the the shift of our front 7 beating the AU OL happened in the 1st Q. After the first 2 carries totaled 12 yards, he got 4 of the next 5 touches and this is how they went:
1 yard loss
1 yard run
6 yard loss reception
7 yard reception
Then a 2 yard run.
Then a 4 yard loss.
3 yard run
This sudden lack of production had nothing to do with him being hurt. It had nothing to do with AU being worn down. It had everything to do with our guys beating the blockers and wrapping up.

He has avoided a simple yes or no answer numerous times.
The current difference between UGA's #1 class and AU's #10 class is about the same as the difference between AU's #10 class and Ole Miss's #35 class.
Looks like a huge difference.

Last year wasn’t great either if that’s the angle you’re going for.
When was it great? Not watered down?

The only programs who have the potential to do what bama has done are uga and Florida. So yes, nobody has been on the verge.
However, it will require breaks to accomplish what bama has accomplished as well. You already got one this season. ;)

Congrats to UGA for their SECCG win....but yeah, despite the game only being a few weeks ago, many of their fans are already spinning alot of revisionist history based solely on the final score. If UGA truly believes a similar performance will be good enough to beat a healthy Oklahoma, then they're gonna be in for a rude awakening.

A repeat of 28-7 would beat Ou. No revision needed.

A repeat of 28-7 against OU, with the same type of performance, only happens if Jeff Gilooly is on the payroll.

There’s a huge difference in the #3 class and the #8 class that Richt always had. Every team that has won the national championship during the BSC era had a top 5 recruiting class that put them out very the top. That’s the one thing that eluded him during that time. I believe Clemsonmay have broken this streak though.

Nah, rant says 5 stars don’t matter. No difference in top class and 10th class..what’s a few 5 stars?

Uh... the early signing period ends today and UGA has all but locked up their class.

All I know is, if Auburn pulled it out in the SECCG (and let's be honest, it was still not an impossibility going into the 4th quarter), and Auburn had to play Oklahoma with the same personnel issues, I'd expect OU to roll. Despite AU's woes, they were probably still good enough to beat most teams, but they were effectively a Top 25 team in Atlanta that day, as opposed to the #2 seed heading in. For sure, UGA could beat most teams with a performance similar to the SECCG, but OU isn't most teams...UGA will have to step it up alot more than they did in Atlanta.
