Hate to say it, but I think this is Florida's year

In the SEC, not nationally. They have a favorable schedule even with the changes (though OM gives them trouble historically). They lose some reliable talent at WR, CB and DE, but they get some good transfers at RB and OL. Really the biggest question will be if their OL can make a jump in run blocking from last season; this is something Mullen has a good track record with though. They just need to win one of two big games vs LSU and UGA: I think the Dawgs will drop two due to not having the time to install a new offense

I have a hard time picking against Clemson, they return most of their team and staff which will be invaluable after a year with no offseason.

Experienced quarterback with tons of talents and tons of continuity is hard to bet against.

Florida has that monkey on its back like LSU did with bama. Once you beat them again it releases the pressure. Florida has to do that with Georgia IMO.

It's gonna be us, Ohio State, or Bama in my opinion.

I don't even think Florida will win the east. Mullen is not a great recruiter and they're lacking at the los. I think we would beat Florida by double digits.

I doubt Ohio State plays and they lost some serious talent anyway.

I think Alabama will be good because they can just line up and run the ball with Harris if all else fails but I think no offseason hurts further defensive improvement.

I totally forgot that Ohio State isn't playing. But anyway, I really don't get the Florida hype at all, unless Mullen starts improving his recruiting, I don't see them playing for championships.

Florida can knock off anyone.

They only lost to Georgia by one touchdown and played LSU pretty tight in a Baton Rouge night game.

Still buying that line from MuLLLen?

UGA easily ran out the last 3:10 on the clock and finished the game with 3 timeouts in our pocket.

Bragging about a 7 point loss with the mercy killing we offered third and Grantham is the most MuLLLen thing ever. I'm surprised that LSU fans are so gullible.

This perpetual insecurity from some Dawgs is very confusing to me.

My point is simply that Florida has the talent to play with anyone.

I'm pretty sure that your point was explicit about a 7 point loss.

I could make a point.

MuLLLen sabotaged his team's chance at winning the game with his playcalling. This is a 10+ year head coach making a rookie mistake. Gus at Auburn didnt make that mistake. Jimbo at A&M didnt make that mistake. Both Auburn and A&M lost. But they had a chance to win. Florida never did. And that rests solely on Cousin Eddie leading the team.

I'm not worried about MuLLLen in the East. He doesnt have the talent on the OL. And he isnt recruiting well enough on offense to flip the script in the near future. Tennessee and Kentucky are more of a threat in the upcoming seasons.

Explaining the flaws of your thought process has nothing to do with security.

Jesus, I simply say that Florida has the talent to play with anyone and suddenly there's Dawgs crying everywhere.

You are a smart man. Just like Ed O needed a few years to build back up. Mullen did as well.

Look at all the Georgia fans.
The little dick syndrome is amazing. 1980 and counting.

Could be finally have proper depth

Look at team composite the year Mullen and Pruitt were hired. Basically equal talent wise

Only difference one had real exp coached his arse his off and got the best out or what was there

Plus Jefferson, Grimes, Greenard, and Schuler were big additions in the portal

Its def possible nobody would of picked LSU to start last yr

In 2018 UGA was fresh off a title appearance UF had no chance.

Last season UF lost by 7 to UGA and 14 to the champs in their house

Just facts. It's not crazy to think they get better more comfortable

Let's see what happens I'm excited

It’s not crazy but it’s also not crazy to expect UGA to win again this year. Most of the defense is back and we had an average offense. Just need that again.
