Listening to 680 in Atlanta and one thing is obvious, UGA fans calling in complaining about Mark Richt 'underachieving' have a false sense of identity. They seem to think UGA is a perennial national power that should win 10 to 11 games a year. UGA is a very good program but they are not and never have been in the upper echelon of college football.

With the kids that the state of Georgia produces, I think they should expect to get 10 wins a year. JMO.

We technically SHOULD win 10 or 11 games per year. Were you born yesterday? UGA won 13,11,10,10,9,11,10 games from 2002-2008.

it's the other way around. it seems many UGA fans accept mediocrity when they really shouldn't.

agreed. It's hard to go 6-7 at UGA. They have the resources to do much much better.

I always have that feeling that someone else other that UGA will win the East every year.

It will be close between them, UF and Tenn IMO.
I believe people are saying that UF will have a down year b/c of the coaching philosophy changes with Weis and Muschamp, BUT these kids at UF have high football IQ's and are well coached with UM. I can see them being copetitive right away given the spring and summer and fall to prepare. Look for UF to eb a VERY good team next year. Muschamp will steal a few recruits and get some of those decommits back. Look out.

The difference is Auburn fans are happy with winning 9 games most seasons and being relevant in the national title race every 5 or 6 years. We know who we are, Georgia fans seem to think they're on par with programs like Texas or OU.

UGA is a top ten program all time, so I would think they are on par with Texas and OU.

And for good reason. CMR had averaged winning 10 games per season for 9 years prior to this season and was 7-2 in Bowl games. That's 90 wins in 9 seasons. Here's his record:

Year Team Overall Conference Standing Bowl/Playoffs Coaches# AP°
Georgia Bulldogs (Southeastern Conference) (2001–present)
2001 Georgia 8–4 5–3 T–3rd (East) L Music City 25 22
2002 Georgia 13–1 7–1 1st (East) W Sugar † 3 3
2003 Georgia 11–3 6–2 T–1st (East) W Capital One 6 7
2004 Georgia 10–2 6–2 2nd (East) W Outback 6 7
2005 Georgia 10–3 6–2 1st (East) L Sugar † 10 10
2006 Georgia 9–4 4–4 T–3rd (East) W Chick-fil-A 23
2007 Georgia 11–2 6–2 T–1st (East) W Sugar † 3 2
2008 Georgia 10–3 6–2 2nd (East) W Capital One 10 13
2009 Georgia 8–5 4–4 T–2nd (East) W Independence

Georgia's a powerhouse program, they've been down a couple of years but every program has been through that.
