UGA eventually will win another NC, eventually, so will A&M, so will Florida.  Probably not Tennessee, in my lifetime anyway.  Heck, Vandy COULD win an NC in 40 years, it looks exceedingly improbable now.

The odds in any single year are against it obviously, even if they have the "best team".

Tennessee is losing players like crazy, which might be a good thing for them.

I'd have to put $10 on Georgia, because of recruiting

I think this UGA team is about as good as any they've had in the past 20 years or so.  I figure that gives them roughly a 1 in 8 chance at winning the NC.

So, they'd need a team this good for a decade more or less.

or they could simply get lucky this season and hit the 1/8th chance

Let's not pretend it's simply about talent this year:
.
Cross Division Games:
Georgia:  Arkansas & Auburn
Florida:  Alabama & LSU

It's never simply about talent.  And of course UGA plays Clemson OOC, which is no walk in the park.  Might not matter.

But Clemson is probably better than Florida Atl, South Florida, Samford, and FSU.

And none of that is relevant of course to conference slates.

But, it takes a break usually to win an NC, UGA had one with Bama a few years back and just didn't cover a WR in the EZ in OT.

It happens.

It seems like y'all often get screwed in the X-Div matchups.

The SEC East nearly always comes down to the WLOCP obviously, the other games are often irrevelant.  And yes, if Florida loses to LSU and Bama and beats UGA who is 7-1 UGA prevails.  That doesn't happen that often.

Auburn clobbered LSU last year. Those X-Div match ups may be more equitable than you think.
