Loser mindset: the Ferrari is too fast waahh :(

Winner mindset: wtf are you driving a Volkswagen? Buy a Ferrari and make this a challenge

I do. I also know that UGA is not going to be as beat up as the Alabama's and LSU's of the conference at the end of the regular season with the cream puffs you are going to play. Tennessee is the only team on your schedule with a pulse. You're driving a Ferrari and playing a bunch of Volkswagens.

The easy schedule, and no mistake it is ridiculously easy on paper before the season starts and unlikely to change dramatically by seasons end, can go 2 ways. It most likely means you're correct and UGA is healthier than their opponents late in the season...with the difference in quality depth that may well be the difference in the late November tilt in Tennessee. It can also lead to complacency and eating of the rat poison which will lead to a loss in that game. Missouri bloodied UGA's nose last season and UGA needed it BADLY. There is not anyone on the schedule as of now who looks like they will do that before the UT game. Credit where it is due Missouri did not look the part at this point of the season last year either...or even the Saturday morning that they did it. UGA will need to be tested at some point and being a CFB team will probably get bloodied somewhere along the line...if they do not they could be completely healthy and full of rat poison and FAFO in Knoxville which would probably mean UGA had to "back" into the playoff. It is damned tough to go through an SEC season undefeated...it is pretty rare. UGA has done it 2 years in a row. Doing it a third time, even with an incredibly easy schedule, is going to be tough. UGA is probably capable but complacency and rat poison has beaten some really good CFB teams over the years...
