App State - Win
@Notre Dame - Win
Samford - Win
Miss St - Win
@Tennessee - Toss Up
@Vandy - Win
Mizzou - Win
BYE
Florida - Should be a toss up but I'm calling it a loss
USC - Win
@Aub - Toss Up
UK - Toss Up
GT - Win
Key losses: RB Nick Chubb, RB Sony Michel, OLB- Davin Bellamy (likely), OLB Lorenzo Carter (likely), CB Mo Smith
Key returning starters: QB- Jacob Eason, WR Javon Wims, TE Isaac Nauta, OG/OT Isaiah Wynn, DT Trenton Thompson, DT Julian Rochester, DE David Marshall, ILB Roquan Smith, ILB Natrez Patrick, Safety Dominick Sanders, K Rodrigo "Pussy Crusher" Blankenship
If we get some bounces to go our way I think we can be an 11 win team. Everything pretty much hinges on some of our young OL developing under Pittman and Eason improving his deep accuracy in the spring. Defense returns basically everyone except our two OLB's who seem headed for the exit. Offense loses a few linemen (two of whom are really bad, but Pyke will be missed) and two great running backs, but we have a lot of talent at RB, so with an improved OL we could have a better running game than this year. Our defense should be pretty good, offense all depends on the OL and Eason... if the OL can open up holes and Eason can get a little more accurate on his 20+ yd throws, then not even Chaney should be able to frick up that badly.
My prediction: 9-3, late season losses to Florida, Auburn, a slip up against UK cost us the chance to go to Atlanta.

I think we should go 9-3 also with losses to UF, AU, and UK/Vandy sounds about right. The reason I'm optimistic about our future is because most of our losses were close ones and smart is an elite recruiter.

UGA will be sound everywhere but OL and OLB.
Unfortunately, those are key positions and will cost us games. 9-3 is if we win close games. But you don't win close games if you cant stop the run or run the ball. That probably isn't us.
2018 is UGA's year so long as we don't pull a Tennessee/Mark Richt where our young, experienced talent doesn't make it to contribute as upper-classmen.
