Those are the cold, hard facts that nobody wants to admit. You are what your record says. What also worries me is the instant impact that Dan Mullen had at Florida with mediocre talent. Smart is most certainly a better recruiter than Mullen. But I would have to give Mullen the edge once the ref flips the coin.

Two close losses to Alabama might have gotten in the player's heads. The program is in a completely different place today if we hold on to those two 14 point second half leads. Now, all everyone can talk about is how Clemson and Bama are head and shoulders the two best programs in the country. UGA is considered the best of the rest, along with OU, Ohio State.
