Georgia probably has the best collection of talent, on paper, in the SEC east. If it isn't the best it is damn near close to the best.

But...

They don't have a proven QB, their two amazing RB's have had serious injuries in their past, and they are in the middle of a coaching transition.

That being said, it would not surprise me at all, if they role into the Tennessee game 4-0. North Carolina is soft, and Ole Miss lost a lot last year. Even if UT does manage to beat UGA in Athens, (which hasn't happened since 2006 BTW), UGA still gets Vandy and USCe before the bye week, so they could reasonably be 6-1 going into Florida week.

By Florida week, UT and Florida could both reasonably have at least 1 or maybe more SEC losses, so they will be in the thick of the race.

The race in the East is going to be super close.

Not necessary either. Bama has won several natties with a plug and play QB. Hell AU took a natural born cornerback and won with him in 1 year.

You're confusing Sony with keith marshall. Sony has never been seriously injured and he's good enough to start for probably 100 other 1A programs. And by all accounts Chubb will be damn close to 100% by the opener, let alone the first real game we'll need him in week 4.

everyone always told us the former coaches were underachievers and could never win. I'd say a transition is a positive. And hell, your own team took a brand new staff and won the east in year 1.
