re: 2016 USA Today/AmwayCoaches Pre-Season Poll RELEASED

How is uga ranked so high? They have a first year/first time head coach and most likely a starting QB who was playing high school football in Washington last year.

They finished with a solid record and a good roster talent wise but I think a lot of it is premised on faith in Chubb returning as good as before. Eason is considered a fantastic talent although I hear what you're saying about the competition level in Washington but they managed 10 wins last season with a very mediocre QB. I also think Smart is very well respected among coaches and they're giving him the benefit of the doubt.
