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

The east is weak. Florida will be lucky to be .500 this year, South carolina is south carolina, Kentucky is kentucky, Mizzou, meh, Vandy, nevermind. UT is the biggest obstacle. That game will mean more this year than it has since about 2007.
UGA will take a step back, how big will that step back be is the question and UT is wanting to answer it. Georgia basically had an NFL defense last season.

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.

UGA was 92 nationally in returning production last year, 89 this year.
Needless to say, statistics don’t equate to on-field success. Hell, Bama was last in the SEC for returning offensive production last year, look how that played out.

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?

UGA will be fine what we lost was experience the talent is close to the same , we just need to get the young ones going

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

Our d is always loaded with NFL talent and that is not changing for this year.

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
