Timing is everything

UGA doesn't have a MNC to show for their efforts during the Richt era. Going into the '08 season as one of the contenders is reason for hope, but there are alot of factors that must go our way just to make it to the dance.

Consider this list of SEC champions and their records for the season in this decade

1. 2000 Florida 10-3
2. 2001 LSU 10-3
3. 2002 UGA 13-1
4. 2003 LSU 13-1 MNC
5. 2004 Auburn 13-0
6. 2005 UGA 10-3
7. 2006 Florida 13-1 MNC
8. 2007 LSU 12-2 MNC

Three MNC's for the SEC this decade for arguably the best conference in cfb, but it also shows that having a great season doesn't necessarily guarantee you a shot at the crystal ball. Hell, winning 'em all doesn't even guarantee it.
