Clearly, college football is going through a period of major transformation.

I was a Freshman during the fall of 1980. It was not only an exciting year, it was a magical time in Athens.. from 1980-1984 the Dawgs played in two national title games & with a break or two, could have played in 2-3 more. Point is winning breeds winning & titles. Bama, Clemson, & even LSU, UF & Ohio State have proven that. If you need more evidence, just look at the fortunes of these teams after their most recent title: 98 Vols, 01 Canes, 04 Trojans, 05 Longhorns, 2010 Aburn Tigers. I've my waited 40 years for the next title suffering thru far too many mediocre seasons & unexplainable losses. It's time to totally support Smart in building a roster, the facilities and a campus that is second to none. Consistency will bring the titles.
My choice was NOT an option, but here it is: We want BOTH. We want multiple Nattys, and to be a consistant top contender year after year. Likewise, we want The Georgia BullDawgs football program to become the new Division #1 dynasty over the next several decades.
Go DAWGS!
We've been consistent for 20 years.... this is a pretty simple answer. The goal is the NATTY. It is for every "contender". Most contenders are pretty consistent. You may have cinderella stories here and there, but UGA has never been in that slipper. We are consistently just out of reach every year and it is extremely frustrating!!! haha But to get back on point, the Natty is more important. This is a no-brainer.
I was a year ahead of you, I was class of 1982. Those were exciting times in Athens Ga, in my biased opinion it was as good as it gets.
To answer the OP, I'll take a title and worry about consistency later. Without a title consistency means consistently falling short of our goals.
"Let’s face it, Smart was hired to do what Mark Richt couldn’t do after his first few seasons: win championships. And, with 1980 fading ever farther back into the mists of time, that needs to include a national championship."
Bill saved the best for last...that about sums it up.
Georgia has 5 NC.

please enlighten me what years did they win recognized NC
Claimed national titles
2 (1942, 1980)
1942 and 1980
This isn't an either/or program. Win a championship and stay in the top 10 annually. We have all the resources and recruiting footprint to make it happen.
