so you believe the past two Ga teams were in equal in talent to Bama? This is the first year UGA can say they are close to being toe to toe talent wise 1-85. Has Kirby had coaching mistakes? Sure he has, so did Pruitt, Saban, Richt, Dabo, and every other coach that has ever coached. Most get better with time. Another reason I think UT takes a big step forward, is Pruitt. He admitted first year, head was kinda spinning, it does for each coach, he’s growing from experience.
But, by teams with a comparable record you mean top 10? Well, Smart has a winning record vs top 10 competition and top 25 competition as well, not exactly always getting pushed around.
