re: Biggest upset in the SEC for 2018

Ya the Kirby only winning with Richt players is the strangest argument I've seen. Richt certainly left decent players for Smart, but Smart has recruited better than Richt has. Saying UGA will take a step back due to losing key players makes sense. Though I'd say losing Michel and Chubb won't be as drastic as some on here claim since the o-line will be better this year and freshman seem to contribute at RB more than any other position. The secondary will be better this year and if D-Rob gets his hardship waiver than WR will be better as well. UGA will take a step back in the sense that they probably won't make the playoffs again this year and I think most reasonable UGA fans believe that, but I fully expect them to win the East this year. UT and UF are still down, USC while being decent still has less talent than UGA, Mizzou still doesn't have a defense, and LSU fans act like road teams can't win there even after Troy stomped them. UGA's two toughest games will be USCe and Auburn. Outside of that the schedule is charmin soft.
