I agree with WG here. Their WRs were no better IMO, one reason being that I always thought Benjamin was drastically overrated. RB is obviously in our favor. QB obviously in their favor - with the caveat that I feel comfortable with whoever we have back there as long as Richt as Bobo are coaching them. Their OL was probably better (I guess), but they didn't have a bunch of maulers and I feel pretty comfortable with at least 3 of our OL positions this year.
The D talent really isn't much of a contest at DB. Our front 7 isn't quite as good, but I don't think we're THAT far off.
I do like our STs this year, which is being overlooked. The STs rankings came out recently on ESPN and hasn't been posted here yet to my knowledge even though every other position group was almost immediately posted.

Our WRs, if they can stay healthy are at least as good as their group was last year. Benjamin was very overrated, he was just a huge athlete going up against really shitty secondaries all year. QB is clearly theirs, but I'm rarely worried about QB here, we usually have at least solid play at the position. We have the best RB corp in the country and FSU isn't even close to that discussion this year or last.
Safe bet that their OL was better, that is our weak spot on offense. If they can be just slightly above average, our offense will be a monster again this year.

DB is them by default because we don't know what we really have, but Malkom Parrish will be this year's Lamarcus Joyner. People are sleeping on him.
We have the better LB corp, but they have the better DL. We're closer than people realize though, seems like people think we have absolutely nothing on DL.
Our issue the last couple years was coaching. We do not lack for talent in the front seven, though it could be better. We will determine how good our D is this year will be how quickly the players can adapt to Pruitt's coaching and learn his system.

I'll have to wait and see on STs. When I actually see them be good, then I can safely believe it, but not before.
