Yea, offensive line and receiver are still big, big question marks for UGA, and QB is a bit of one as well (especially with questions at OL and WR).
They should be a Top 15-25 team, but Top 10 feels like it's pushing it.

Well, this is the thing about the upcoming year. I've never seen a season with such a wide range of uncertainty across the conference. I don't have a high degree of confidence in the predictions for any team,
Even Alabama... will field a huge amount of talent but lost all their "leadership" on the defense. The new defense will be just as stout on paper... but that is just paper... it remains to be seen on the field. Leadership is a word thrown around a lot with no defined meaning, but it is like porn.. we know it when we see it.
Georgia is similar in some ways, lots of young but highly ranked players but are they playmakers? Will they be a "team?" They weren't much of one last year, but...
Every school has these questions this year. Which is why picking a school such as Kentucky and Miss State, or even dare I say Auburn, to do well is not a bad idea. Those teams have a nucleus and carry over.

Until we have an OL, I don't think we should be ranked.

Is Jim Chaney still calling plays at Georgia?
If so this list is shite.

I've got to be honest, it's pretty weak using recruiting rankings for guys who have been in the program for 3, 4 or 5 years. By some point you've got to be judged based on your actual contributions.
I mean saying that Bama at one point returned 5* Tyler Love or 5* Jerrell Harris is just somewhat misleading
Damn
I want to believe. I can't. I won't. Do more and just maybe.

Jim Chaney wasn't doing himself any favors in 2016. But then again we had a small, below average OL with guards for tackles, young or below average receivers, and a freshman QB.
2017 will be make or break, but a lot of other factors went into our offensive struggles last year.

That's fricking insane...Bama should never lose a game ever.

We don't lose many, but it happens.

LSU is too high. They have an unproven head coach and lost some serious talent on defense. Also, we hear every year about how great the O-Line is and they eventually get their shite pushed in when they face a good defense. Hope I'm wrong, but I've seen this story play out too often in recent years.

Pretty sure his team (LSU) finished the season ranked 13th, which is absolutely not the same place that 5-7 teams finished.

How is Michigan a top 10 team, didn't like basically everyone leave?
Sporting News itself seems skeptical given the Florida write-up where they seem to be picking Florida big.
