Georgia is obviously the overwhelming title favorite.

Beyond that, how many other teams could actually win it all? I can’t think of more than four. ND, Miami, Alabama, Texas. Indiana gets the benefit of the doubt but they don’t look the part this year.

It changes week to week. This year has been weird. But it’s probably just a taste of what NIL is doing to CFB.

Just because we beat the shite out of you doesn’t mean we are the overwhelming favorite. Your defense is not good.

Scratch Texas. They've cobbled together 3 wins but that don't make them a contender. Arch is still Arch, and despite the media's attempt to pretend he's magically morphed into the player he was projected, it's just that; pretend.

Only teams that have a chance:

UGA
Alabama
Utah
Notre Dame
Miami
Texas
Tennessee

Most likely of those teams:

UGA
Alabama
Notre Dame
Miami

I had Georgia before the season started. Hasn’t changed. I also had Stockton winning the Heisman. He’s not getting the buzz he deserves.

They lost to Auburn, proves they can lose to almost anybody.

Can’t deny that their defense is exceptional. But they’ve got better offensive potential than teams like Indiana or Tennessee.

If Alabama could/can play consistently for 4 quarters, they’d be a hard to beat. Georgia is pretty consistent week in and week out so I’d give them the edge right now!

UGA seems to be the closest thing to a complete and best team in the conference.

That said, I'm still at a complete and utter loss how UGA lost to Auburn. That's about a worse of a loss of any top end SEC team this year and we lost to Florida.

4 out of 5 Georgia wins

That game was a fluke

-3 in turnover margin and a missed FG.

Even teams that are very good will struggle if they're turning the ball over and leaving points on the board while their opponent isn't.

If UGA does that against any P4 team they'll likely lose. Same is true for other good teams.

Prior to the current 12-team playoff system, every game was important, similar to running an individual sprint.

Now, the season is best tackled like a marathon. What matters is who is healthy and peaks at the end.

UGA, is looks great now, but all that is for naught if it slips in the playoffs.

Not enough offense. And they won’t play more than one game in Neyland.

The previous weeks game depleted both Alabama and UGA. They both lost to inferior opponents the following week. Watching the Auburn game you could literally see our players weren't as fast or hard hitting as they were the previous week. Kirby said as much BEFORE the game even started. That, and we had 3 turnovers. In hindsight it was probably the best thing to happen to us as it focused the team.
