Preseason polls are a joke and any fan that follows the sport that can be truly objective knows this. I am glad they create these polls for off season talk but they have no value and show me where they have even come close to mirroring the final poll.
I also believe that most fans, especially SEC fans, think UGA is the best team in the east and will get to Atlanta but that is not a lock. On paper UGA should but it will not be the cake walk many of your fans seem to think it will be.

Go back and re-read the quote. It said exactly that.
No, it did not. You are failing reading comprehension pretty badly here
It's more of the fact that you're just in denial.

I just understand the distinct difference between an “extremely tough” game and the 2017 uga/sc game.
When a team goes Up by 14 after the first drive after halftime, and it never gets much closer, no reasonable person claims it’s “extremely tough”.

The point is everyone but some message board fans who hate uga or want last year to be a fluke expect uga to be very strong this year. It’s not just uga fans, who have so many reasons to have confidence.

Actually incorrect. For example I listen to College Sports on the radio all day. Every person on there thinks UGA is the best in the east but expects them to drop 1 or 2 games during the season. Most of them predict the USC game as being one of the possible games for a loss for UGA. So again every fan in this thread except UGA fans all seem to be in agreement with the media.
The difference is we are not crowning Kirby a great coach based on one season. We are not saying UGA will have the same season as last year. We agree UGA is the best team in the east but expect a loss or two. Why is that so hard to comprehend for so many of your fans?

So they say 11-1? Well, 11-1 puts uga in a play in for the playoff, and Most uga fans expect 1 loss, so that’s in line with some of those very guys, whoever these guys are. All the actual polls will have uga in the top 5, just as all the mags do, which is about 11-1. Seems like everyone is in line....besides the uga haters.

It is a possible loss, but many are viewing this game with a contradictory lense. Pointing those inconsistencies out isn’t me being a homer, but rather it’s me being reasonable.

An 11 point game going into the 4th quarter is just that. There is not a "distinct" difference as you think.

Not one UGA fan has shown any objectivity.
According to the rest of the league apparently "objectivity" = "we're gonna suck this year and maybe go .500"
How is predicting us to go ~11-1 and win the east not being objective? Based on all the facts we have available (our roster, our coaches, our schedule, the shape of the teams on our schedule) what in the world is far fetched about that prediction?

The uga Notre Dame game and uga sc games were very different. Notre Dame was nail biting until the last minute, while we coasted with a 2-3 score lead in the 2nd half vs sc.
Extremely tough is a one score game when the down opponent is driving for the tie or win late. Many uga sc games fit this description, but the 2017 game doesn’t.

What about Vandy over UGA?

Really hard to call any conference game a BIG upset, just the way it goes.
For example, Ole Miss should be really bad... LSU and Miss State should be pretty good. But Ole Miss plays both teams in emotional games, and winning either one wouldn't be shocking.

Weren't you one of the ones chastising UGA fans for thinking they'd win the East? lol No one has said Kirby is the next Saban. Just that we think he's better than Richt and have reasons to be optimistic about the future.

You didn't coast in the 2nd half against USC. That's not accurate at all. Like I've already stated our game against Georgia was the toughest they played OTHER than Notre Dame. An argument could be made Notre Dame should have won that game. Compared to USC just played a tough game against Georgia. Two different situations.

UGA over BAMA in the SEC championship.

We immediately got up 14 early in the 3rd q and never looked back. We were just fine taking our time to run clock in the 4th with no sense of urgency. Be thankful we took the ball out of fromm’s hands.

Sure it was. So what? Being tougher than the vol game doesn’t mean it was “extremely tough”.

Maybe. Extremely tough games can go either way. Our game wasn’t close enough to go either way.

Half of the teams that started in the top 4 preseason have ended up there in the last 4 years. I'll take those odds.

could have said the same thing in 2003 except replace Richt's name with Jim Donnan. It's ok to have optimism, but Kirby has not done enough to warrant the arrogance UGA fans have showed lately. Maybe let him have more than one successful season before crowning UGA. Richt had equally impressive seasons as Kirby did last year in 2002, 2007, and 2012. Y'all lost a lot of really good players from last year's team. It wouldn't be entirely shocking to see UGA take a step back this year.
One big difference, Kirby didn't screw around with terrible teams last year. Richt barely beat Clemson and SC to start the year. Clemson wasn't even top 25 and SC didn't even get a bowl game.
