One of the best things about the last two years that no one talks about is no more sweating out games with a Vandy, Kentucky (the normal UK teams) or some of the others when they are way down. I put a W beside 8 games on this schedule with no fear that I will be wrong. I could be wrong about the loss. I might be wrong about Notre Dame or A&M. I’m almost sure I’m right about Jacksonville.

The only thing that could really derail this season in terms of the East division is a significant injury to Fromm. Otherwise, I just don’t see UGA losing the East.

Georgia has arguably the deepest and most talented group of RBs, Olinemen and LBers in the conference. This will probably upset some LSU fans and the Tide, but I don’t think it’s unfathomable that by the end of the season, many might say the same about the DBs. If we can make it through with no severe injuries to our Dline, we have enough depth there to make it through with a good rotation. And while the 2018 class on defense was more ballyhooed, the 2019 class seems to have more guys truly ready to do big things early. This could be the best defense in the conference.

While many in the national media point to WR as the weakest link on offense, I honestly am more concerned with the TEs. It’s really all about Charlie Woerner and if he can finally be the mismatch/freak he was thought to be when he signed. The WR room just has too much talent for someone there not to step up. And I’m not sure there is much shame in playing backup to three NFL draft picks.

I think Auburn will be the toughest game for a few reasons. It’s on the road, the East could likely be decided by then and a chance of losing focus, and I think Auburn could be a lot better than some think. There are a lot of reasons for UGA to be really honed in if they make it to A&M undefeated or with one loss. One loss obviously would end the dream if one more loss is tacked on. If they have no losses they are likely just the A&M game away from punching a ticket for the CFP before the SECCG is even played. Tech may well be the easiest Power 5 game on the schedule with the OC having to put square pegs into round holes. I’ll pick UGA to lose one because it’s hard to get through the SEC unscathed no matter who you are. But I think we’re more likely to go 12-0 than 10-2. A few prognosticators (Chris Fallica, Danny Sheridan, some others) have started picking us to win it all. I hope that dies down. Would like as little rat poison as possible.
