I think Richt has more to do with McElwain's success at Florida, and Mizzou making the SECCG the prior two years, more than it has to do with Saban. These were years when the SEC East was way down, except Georgia had an experienced coach with his players and still couldn't take advantage. Losing to a fairly new coach at Tennessee this year didn't help either. Georgia is clearly falling behind in the SEC East.
You know Catch I think you hit the nail dead on the head here. Georgia I believe should been playing the last 4 years in a row in the SECCG. RTR!
