Whether Bama is a dynasty is irrelevant. It didn't stop LSU or Clemson from winning championships in the last five years. Neither Clemson nor LSU recruited at UGAs level. It is also a fact that UGA has the top recruiting ranking average over the last five years
College football recruiting rankings: Teams with the best classes over a five-year average entering 2021
These 22 schools have averaged a top-25 class over the last five years

They were also ranked as the "most talented" team going into the 2020 season.
You are correct that Smart isn't a good coach. UGAs path really isn't that narrow either- the SEC has had two loss teams make the playoffs and even had a team that didn't play in the conference championship make the playoffs.
A team with the overall #1 recruiting average over a 5 year span, unlimited money, and one of the highest paid coaches in cfb should have at least one championship to show for it. Other programs got through mighty Bama, even another SEC team beat them in Tuskkkaloosa. The fact that a team with equal, if not more talent, hasn't been able to do it is an embarrassment, especially when teams without nearly the talent managed to beat them.
Since Miami averaged around the #18 class over the past 5 years, I have not issue with someone believing they should have been a top #25 rank every year. They only did that 3 of 5 years (60% of the time). It is disappointing. Saying the team underachieved is a valid. But to put Miami, with an average class rank around 18 in the same category of "does less with more" as UGA, a program that essentially has every conceivable advantage, is utterly asinine. Anyone who claims Miami belongs on that list is either a troll or they are not mentally competent. It's simply not an opinion that has even the slightest basis in reality. Anyways, I'm done talking about UGA for now. If you want to white knight for Kirby Smart then you can have the last word.
