NIL and recruiting aside…..Is this the biggest potential indicator for how the season plays out? Experience vs Talent?
And I’m curious…Why is it assumed Georgia will win the East/play in SECCG this year?
1) Miss. State - 78%
2) Tennessee - 75%
3) South Carolina - 73%
4) Kentucky - 68%
5) Alabama - 67%
6) Vanderbilt - 67%
7) Missouri - 66%
8) Auburn - 65%
9) Arkansas - 64%
10) LSU - 64%
11) Ole Miss - 60%
12) Georgia - 59%
13) Texas A&M - 56%
14) Florida - 55%

Because they're at the point where people expect them to reload like Bama

Because they play in an extremely weak division and recruit at a high level. They’re basically the Clemson of the SEC East.

What they return is great and the missing production is being replaced by blue chip talent.

This is about where we were heading into 2021.
Some say we were pretty good in 2021

8/11 starters on defense are in the NFL now from UGA's team last year. The last time that happened was going from 2012/2013 with Todd Grantham running the show. Grantham was not able to reload and relied on many freshmen and redshirt freshmen in 2013 and it was awful. This time around, Kirby is running the show and has a lot more talent to reload than Richt or Grantham ever did. Can the defense be "generational" again? Probably not, otherwise we'd have to redefine what "generational" means.
The offense, however, shouldn't miss a beat. The offense could be even better than last year, to offset the defense not being quite as good, but still in the elite class.
I'm not predicting another NC, but UGA is still the clear favorite to win the East again.

Useless stat without additional info.
QBs account for a huge amount of offensive production whether they're good or not-so-good.
Any team that replaces a QB will take a huge hit in returning production. The question then is are you replacing a good QB with a bad one, or a bad one with a good one?

If we can learn to be consistent then we will surprise many.

Because they have for every year since 2017 minus 2020 which was a really fricking weird season for everyone minus Bama

Because Georgia has way better players than the other East teams

Other than
Georgia
Alabama
Kentucky
Ole Miss
Arkansas
The rest of the teams want to be much better than last year. If you were 7-6 or 6-7 in 2021, do you really want the same players playing?
Experience counts for something, but if it is mediocre or bad experience, it is not really wanted.

For us, we had several 5th year seniors too, we have like 2 more cycles where the players have 5 years of eligibility? That’s a dynamic that gets forgotten about, reliable 22 year olds help

Because the East is shite

This will help. Easiest schedule in the SEC according to Phill Steele.
THE SEC
Toughest: AUBURN (No. 1 nationally)
Easiest: GEORGIA (No. 58 nationally)
Defending national champion Georgia does open the season vs. Oregon in Atlanta but draws Mississippi State as its rotating opponent from the wild SEC West, thereby avoiding Alabama, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and LSU all together. The Bulldogs also get the benefit of drawing Tennessee, which may finally be positioned to vie for an East division crown, at home.

Heading into 2021 UGA was ranked 111th in returning production, Bama was ranked 120th. I’d say this isn’t a good indication of anything.

You pay much attention to recruiting rankings?

The weirdness of this is that an OU fan is asking this question.
But we've won this division four of the past five seasons. Do you think the 2017 team and the 2021 team were the same guys?

Prior to the transfer portal returning production meant a good deal unless that production sucked.
With the transfer portal returning production means very little if anything

Georgia recruits defensive players better than anybody. They also typically have a top 10 OL.
They’ll have a top 20 defense again this year and the best offense they’ve had under Kirby. And they’ll be a 2 TD favorite over every team on their schedule.
