I know, at this point everyone is is thinking 15-0 SHIP! (right Aubs?)

But in you heart of hearts, you have to be worried about a couple of teams that could sneak up on you, even Bamers...

For me:

1. Florida - it's always Florida, we aren't still stuck in the agonizing run from the 90's - but this is still the game I am most concerned with every year

2. Norte Dame - everyone thinks that we should win, but they are not a "cupboard bare" program by any stretch, losing early could sure take the wind out of our sails...

3. GA Tech - godam nerds beat us last year, not saying this is a "hot seat" game for Kirby, but we really need to reestablish dominance in state

Our defensive staffs have a track record of struggling with GT the first time they see them and faring much better the second time around.

Willie struggled badly in 2008 (Johnson's first year) but was fine in 2009. Grantham struggled badly in 2010 but was better in 2011. Pruitt 2014/2015. I'm not terribly concerned with GT this year.

Tennessee and Auburn are obvious road games to be concerned about so I'll bypass that and say SC at home.

Michigan - depends on how they look in week 1.

UGA - always a critical game

LSU

1. Florida State - will be a Top 5 match-up and a potential 1 vs. 2. We could easily start off the year 0-1.

2. Ole Miss - I'm really worried about this game because I don't just want to beat them, I want to effing castrate these assholes. It's time we give these dweebs a repeat of the 2011 game when we massacred them in Oxford to the tune of 52-7. My main concern is that we don't blow them out.

3. Auburn - I always worry about this game, I don't care if they are winless coming into it.

1) NC State - Gotta get off to a good start because the back end of our schedule is rough.

2) UF - We have the Gators at home this year. This is a probable loss game we need to turn into a win if we want to win more than 6 games.

3) Clemson - We have to at least compete with them. Another 49 point loss in Columbia would rattle the fanbase in a way we've never seen. I think it would kill us in recruiting as well.

My top 3...

1. Ole Miss: a loss to Ole miss (yes, it could happen) this year would be devastating
2. Clemson: early season loss could set the tone for a long year
3. Mizzou: another early season game against an underrated team

I don't really worry about LSU/UGA/Bama... just know it'll be hard fought games.

Replace Tech with Tennessee, MSU or Auburn and I pretty much agree.

Even Vandy scares me more than GT. We always seem to struggle when we play them in Nashville. Tech has one home win over UGA since 1989.

Honestly, I have no clue.

Just thankful for a thread on the first page that isn't UMcentric

1, Florida, we all know why
2, Auburn, potentially a very good team, I'm glad we played them at home.
3, Of course Alabama, I put them number three, because we can lose to them and beat everyone else and still have a shot at the playoffs

Florida it's always Florida , win or lose the game always there's something

Ga Tech, since it's the last ref season game, it' always is that game that kinda sums it up

But the 3rd one is a little off the board, and it's not the team so much as when the game is played. Mizzou, it's at home but going into the bye week before UF. End of a 4 game sec stretch. Should be 6-0 looking ah ad to WLOCP, if Locke has the O tuned in, could be a trap game. And the game that if it happens UGA fans are saying once again can't believe we lost.
