Will be interesting to see how Georgia reacts and is able to maintain a high level now that they will have to actually play a fairly tough schedule

Georgia has played as tough a schedule as anyone over the last 5-6 seasons. What looks like a cakewalk this past season in August in retrospect looked like anything but. The upcoming schedule is tougher than it has ever been for certain but so is everyone's in the SEC and BIG10. Its what schedules are going to look like going forward. Going undefeated is not going to happen often as it once did for anyone.

Ole Miss, Missouri and Tennessee are all looking up. LSU is about what one would expect....they are at what I would think is at a minimum for LSU.

UK is about topped out I think.

Alabama will take a minor step backward but will still be about as good as anyone in the conference other than UGA and Texas.

Oklahoma is probably on the upswing but still a work in progress I think.

Everybody else has a lot of work to do.

I agree with all of this but many people outside of LSU fans don't realize just how gutted this roster was when BK took over. The fact that he was able to put together 10 win teams in his first two years is nothing short of astounding and the recruiting momentum seems to be building.

I will caveat with, I doubt he would have been able to pull this off these last two years without the benefit of the transfer portal. Having to rebuild that roster organically through HS recruiting would have taken at least 2 or 3 years but he pulled it off none the less and I would say they are a team on the upswing for sure.
