re: How many teams would be 10-1 at this point...

I'd say Bama's past schedules look better than UGA's.

I added some info about those "good" opponents:

2008 Neutral - #9 Clemson 7-6 year end NR
2009 Neutral - #7 Virginia Tech 10-3 year end #10 – Bama actually played a name team in its prime
2010 Home - #18 Penn State 7-6 year end NR
2011 Away- #23 @ Penn State 9-4 year end NR
2012 Neutral - #8 Michigan 8-5 year end #24
2013 Neutral - NR West Virgina year end NR
2014 Neutral - NR VaTech year end NR
2015 Neutral - #20 Wisconsin 10-3 year end #21 –Surprise! Paul Chryst did better than expected his first year
2016 Neutral - #20 USC 10-3 year end #3 –Surprise! Clay Helton did better than expected his first full year
2017 Neutral - #3 Florida State 7-6 year end NR
2018 Neutral– NR Louisville 2-10 year end NR
2019 Neutral – NR Duke 4-7 so far, likely NR at year end

Conclusion: Lots of programs with name recognition but nowhere near their historical prime, except for 2009 VaTech, and the two with first year head coaches who did better than expected 2015-Wisconsin and 2016-USC

In those 12 years listed, 8 were Not Rated at year end. That’s hardly a murderers row of OOC opponents.

UGA played most of their opponents when they were actually good and ranked at the end of the year.
