re: Expansion Teams vs. Blueblood SEC

UGA and USC both lose a lot after this season correct?

You still have yet to grasp the reloading-effect in the SEC.

SCAR's 2015 recruiting class, right now, is consensus #2 in the country behind Bama's.

But to answer your question, up until Saban got to Bama, UGA consistently field the most talented teams in the conference and will continue to field one of the most talented teams in the conference year-in and year-out.

So no, were I you I would not expect SCAR or UGA to fall-off much after this coming season.

UGA loses Gurshall but will still be loaded at RB. Not sure about the rest of their roster or depth chart at the moment.

SCAR loses Davis and Thompson, a couple of WRs, a few OLinemen, a TE ... but we're so loaded depth-wise, I dunno if I'd expect much of a drop-off. We'll see how much playing-time the young QBs get this season.

Tennessee, who you failed to mention, is absolutely loading-up with talent. It is yet to be seen if Jones can coach'em-up but they will be loaded with talent.

Florida gonna Florida, they will not stay down for long. Driskel is a RJr so it'll be up to him if he returns for another year. I would imagine that he would unless he has some kind of monster year this year that would get him taken in the first couple of rounds of the 2015 draft.

And finally, I'm not sure, but isn't Kentucky out-recruiting Mizzou right now like they did last year? Ignore Kentucky at your on peril but Kentucky is not just sitting still waiting on Mizzou to pass them in the historical pecking-order. No SEC team is going to sit still.

"Foreseeable future?" The one thing about the SEC is that there is no magic crystal ball to allow any of us to see very far into the future when it comes to the SEC. It's an arms race of full magnitude in college football and the only thing we can all bet-on for sure is that everyone is out to win and everyone has the money and motivation to make it interesting.
