Using the methodology of above, Mark Richt’s teams have fared far better in big games than detractors continually state. Mark Richt is in the top ten of the 46 power five coaches with at least five seasons as a Head Coach in the FBS against the top 25.
Through the 2017 season, Richt is a very respectable 41-38 against top 25 opponents. Richt’s record against ranked opponents is better than Clemson’s Dabo Swinney, Washington’s Chris Petersen and TCU’s Gary Patterson.
As to be expected against the top ten, Richt is slightly worse.
