Was split on FL. Knew he would recruit crazy good and do well with the offense. But also figured he'd end up in trouble there and hopefully drag the program with him.

Coaching, definitely better than most the guys he was beating up on as a Mighty Owl.
But incomplete/mixed data elsewhere.
Raiders -blah
USC - mostly what I expected
TN - wasn't as impressed as some.
OM - Good 1st impression but want to see post Corral.

Fair. Plenty of reasons to not be sold. I get it. Mainly I just love his ability to score points. Luckily we found ourselves a way less crazy alternative in Heupel.

From a practical, day-to-day perspective, the biggest loss by far is Venables. They had a down year by their standards, but they would have had a horrendous year (maybe as many as 4 more losses) if it wasn't for their defense.

I don't think Elliott is much of an OC tactically (that was all Watson/Lawrence/their WRs/Etienne), but if he's a good recruiter then it is a loss. Losing the AD is kind of jarring because he's he leader of the athletic department, but he didn't hire Dabo and honestly I don't think has had to make a bunch of consequential decisions there in terms of personnel. I think he's made a few hires in the non-revenue sports, and he's let a men's basketball coach who isn't very good and was hired before he took the job stay on.

Dabo needs another electric QB is ultimately what it boils down to.

I'm not arguing UGA vs. ND. I'm arguing that when you lose BADLY at "home" to a 1 loss team and lose your conference championship, you don't deserve to be playing for a national title. Period. Full stop. You also don't deserve to be anywhere near the title game with a SoS in the mid-50s and quite obviously that statement is going to exclude Cincy as well. And guess what? They don't deserve to be there either

College Football used to have a regular season that mattered. It also used to have conference championships that mattered. The CFP has turned it into a mulligan fest where none of that matters. It's absolutely absurd that you can get curbstomped in your conference title game and go on to the playoffs.

That's living in a bubble. Reality is you have to put someone in over them. So ya got ND...OSU? You're acting like nobody will have flaws...that's not reality. You want champs? Fine, take Baylor..here's a Utah for you.

Besides, conference championships haven't been end-all be-all for some time. Bama did it in 11 or 12 and pounded LSU in the rematch title game. The point of the title is to find the best team, not bound ourselves to somewhat arbitrary parameters. As-if the 2nd best SEC team still isn't better than many champions...

At the end of the day, you're talking completely changing the metrics and parameters. The committee (as it stands) picks the 4 BEST teams and it's hard to argue they didn't do that...and if they didn't, UGA sure isn't why.

Edit: also not sure where you're getting SoS from...of course there's no one metric and I'm not even sure the committee uses a single one - more like how bball NET looks at tiers the last I saw it mentioned. But I looked at 3 different SoS rankings and UGA was 32nd, 35th, 30th - avg 32nd. Fwiw we were (we dropped a lot post USA/Vandy) 48th, 26th, 49th - avg 40th. If you don't think our schedule was good enough to even be CONSIDERED for the CFP...then idk what else to say.

Dabo has a lot more issues than just an electric QB.

Glad to see that! Hyatt comes from a good family. They don’t seem like quitters, and I think they realize his lack of playing time was from missed opportunities when he started out the season, and if he puts in the work this off-season, he could be right back in the main rotation.

If Hyatt puts in the work, he has the talent to be an All SEC WR in this system.
