    College Football Powerhouse Ranked Among Most Overrated Teams Since 2010

    The Georgia Bulldogs seem to be college football's next dynasty. The Bulldogs have won two of the last three national titles, and if Georgia hadn't been upset in the SEC championship game last season, the Bulldogs had a good chance of making it three straight.

    However, the Georgia Bulldogs were not always dominant. In the 2010s, the Bulldogs had several good seasons, but only won one conference championship and no national championships.

    Georgia finished unranked four times after being in the preseason top 25, leading 247Sports' Brad Crawford to claim that the Bulldogs are one of the most overrated teams since 2010.

    "Only once during Kirby Smart's tenure have the Bulldogs been ranked in the preseason and not in the final AP Poll, that coming in 2016 when he was a wet-behind-the-ears, first-time head coach," Crawford said. "Since, Georgia has won two national championships and—most likely—will be the preseason No. 1 in August. Under Mark Richt, the Bulldogs finished unranked three times since 2010, after opening the season inside the top 25 (2010, 2013, 2015)."

    After being in the preseason top 25, Georgia has four unranked finishes, which ties the Bulldogs for No. 8 in the country with the Texas Longhorns and Auburn Tigers. The USC Trojans, Wisconsin Badgers and Texas A&M Aggies are tied for No. 1 with six such finishes.

    If Kirby Smart maintains the positive momentum he has built over the past few seasons, he likely won't see his numbers increase anytime soon.
