10. Georgia

The good

The heir apparent to Nick Saban in the SEC, Kirby Smart has picked up right where Mark Richt let off. The Bulldogs are recruiting at an extraordinary rate and have quickly surged to the top of the SEC East, a position they’ve held for the better part of two decades.

The bad

Georgia still has the feel of a sleeping giant. For as much potential the Bulldogs have and as faithful as their fans have been, it feels like they should have more than a couple of runner-up finishes to their name.

The bottom line

The fans can’t be blamed for the hiccups of the team on the field. For as much as the coaching and playcalling has left fans frustrated the near 100,000 on hand every Saturday at Sanford Stadium haven’t wavered.

That loyalty is a mark of each of the nation’s best fanbases, a tier in which the Bulldogs unquestionably belong. If Georgia needs a scapegoat for their stumbling, it can’t be the fans.
