Explain how it was weak m, please? Wisconsin’s was weak. Don’t recall hearing any single person on Tv, newspaper or internet say ugas schedule was weak. Did you open the links, or did you just decide to make that assesment on your own?
3 toughest games were Auburn, ND, and MSU. The great thing about Auburn for them, is they can lose that game and still control their own destiny.
MSU turned out to be slightly better than average.
ND was a good win, but ND turned out not to be a great team.
South Carolina and UK were the next two best teams in the East, and they were average at best.
Missouri was "better" at the end of the year, but still a below average team.
Florida/Vandy/UTjr were beyond terrible.
Ga Tech finished with a losing record.
The SEC East was the worst division in all of college football, IMO. It was bad.
I get it. Kirby is a buddy of yours and you will take up for him no matter what. I respect that. I am in no way saying Kirby won't continue this level of play. I don't know. But I don't think you can crown him as a great coach based off of just this year, given the schedule he had. Even if he had to play a tough schedule, one year doesn't cement a legacy. He is recruiting great. I would think the SECe will be a little tougher next year, but UGA's OOC schedule is really bad. Anything short of a repeat of winning the East will not be a good look for Kirby.
