Jordan Rodgers predicting Florida beats UGA

I honestly think this is media bias. How on earth anyone could think Florida is remotely good enough to compete with us is irrational beyond all reason.
Here's the last 4 recruiting cycles:
2020
UGA - #1
FLA - #9
2019:
UGA - #2
FLA - #9
2018:
UGA - #1
FLA - #14
2017:
UGA - #3
fla - #11
The talent isn't even close. Last year our offense was absolute garbage and we still dominated the game. They didn't even score a TD until the 4th quarter.
Let's say hypothetically our offense is merely average this year. That would be a much better offense than last year when we basically had no offense at all.
If our offense is average then I say we beat FLA by a minimum of 10. It won't even be close. Our defense dominated you last year and now we're supposed to believe that FLA has magically gotten better?
Where is all this optimism coming from about the Gators? I think it has more to do with clicks than any rational analysis of their team.
Honestly, I'm more concerned about Tennessee at this point. Maybe not this year but Pruitt can recruit and he's getting some dudes to sign there.

Because Kirby smart is a shitty coach

I mean, I think we are going to win but teams getting better is not any voodoo type of magic.
They will very likely be better this year.

I will say until Mullen gets the job done i can get why UGA is favored but Trask gives them a chance to compete for the division and both teams will be very good.

Easily accomplished more with a single year of experience as a headcoach than State has in 130 years of football...

The talent gap on those types of rankings isn’t as large as you think. You never know how a kid will be developed or how a coach can scheme the right positions. I like Mullen over Smart as a coach.

5 stars tend to go to the NFL at a much higher rate than lower rates players.
Kirby has already proven he is the better coach on and off the field.
Don't think Mullen at UGA would have made the playoffs, won the Rose, taken Bama to ot for a natty, and made two more Sugar bowls.

Lew needs to do a better job of keeping the UGA trolls off the page.

It should be a very close game. Florida will be very good this season. We had a great defense last year and Trask has a pretty decent game against us with absolutely 0 running game. Also, games aren’t won solely on recruiting rankings.

If UGA can lose to a 4 win South Carolina team at home then anything is possible in the SEC.

It won't be close, it hasn't been close in years really.
Why will Florida be good this season? Beyond Pitts who actually scares a defense?
Again, the media has a fascination with Florida which leads them to promote the Gators without any actual logic.
There is nothing to suggest from a talent standpoint the gators have any realistic chance to compete.
We lined-up last year basically telling them what play we were going to run and still beat them. We have an athlete at QB now and an NFL play caller and we're supposed to be worse than last year? That makes no sense.
When Florida starts pulling in top 5 recruiting classes then I'll be worried but as it stands now I say they beat us every now and then in a fluke game but we own them for the next 5 years minimum.

UGA has out recruited LSU recently, not by much, but judging by your UGA vs UF recruiting comparisons, you probably think UGA has out recruited LSU by a lot.
How do you explain the beatdowns we have given UGA?

I guess we should just cancel games and let the recruiting numbers control who is awarded a win

Competent offensive staff, which we now have.
UGA has been like those Les Miles teams. Elite defense with no offense but Kirby changed that.
Too bad about LSU. Had all that talent and a great offensive coordinator but I guess it's back to being average again.
Your team fell apart, what a shame. Oh well, you still got Coach O, the world's greatest cheerleader who does absolutely no coaching besides saying " Geaux Tigaz!"

The guy that waxed UGA the past two years? I think they'll get by.

LSU outrecruited UGA in 2016.
People see a #1 class. But a class of freshmen dont make that immediate impact.
UGAs #1 2018 class will be juniors this year. For as good as UGA had recruited in the past, this is the most talent that Kirby will ever have assembled.
The questions of health apply to every team. UGA is stockpiled at some positions and thinner at others. Hopefully, we will see how things play out.

So I'll break down why. Take it or leave it.
Mullen is known as one of the five best developers in CFB. It's just true. He does more with less. Just like Leach. Just like Peterson.
Now he has more talent than he has ever had. Is it a roster of five stars? No. But it's far more talent than he had at State. We are at a 65 percent blue chip ratio, which is the same as Auburn and LSU this current season.
So he has talent. Georgia has more talent, absolutely. The difference? Kirby is not as good of a developer as Mullen in most people's minds. Argue it all you want, it's what is considered his biggest advantage.
Now look at the last three years. Mullen has lost to Kirby. Each year, to a lesser degree. Why? His talent has grown each consecutive year. Went from arse raped the first year, to a good game till depth issues hit Florida later in the third quarter, to a one score game last year.
So the reason the thought is that Florida can take Georgia this year, is that a lot of people feel Florida now has had enough time to develop his recruits, has a returning QB that was very effective last year, and showed improvement the past two seasons(so they do not expect regression).
Now add in Covid has messed up the off season. Georgia has a shite load of new faces. From new OC to new Oline coach. A new QB who has never been in the system, lost their two best skill players in Cager and their all star back, and lost a lot of offensive line talent. While Georgia clearly has an elite defense, a lot of people are still unsure of what Georgia will truly be when the season starts. UF is less of an unknown.
I could be wrong of course, but it just seems that's what the mindset is of people who pick UF to beat Georgia. Georgia could end up being all world elite, or have major issues offensively. There is a lot of unknown at Georgia. Everyone knows the potential is clearly there to be the best team in football, but not everyone is ready to hedge their bet on potential.
UF we know what we get. UF will have a very good defense, and a very good offense. Neither may be elite, but it's safe to assume both will be very, very good.
I rambled a lot there but hopefully it makes sense as to why some believe UF beats Georgia this season.

Jordan Rogers picks against UGA all of the time. I'd love to see a database of these "experts" and their "winning" picks.
As far as I'm concerned, Rogers is the new Corso. I hope he doesnt pick the Dawgs. He is a younger bumbling idiot.

I know right? I can't believe what they had to go through last season. Felt so sorry for them.
