10-2. Losses to Alabama and then an OT loss to Tennessee at home. Two-loss Florida (only losses will be to LSU and UGA) will play either Alabama or LSU in the SECCG since UGA played in the SECCG last year.

I am not sure what it is about Tennessee's season last year that makes anyone predict this. They got their asses handed to them by every good team they played, and they are bringing back the same QB.

It simple. Not everyone is a UGA fan so they dont have your bias. UT has improved since the beginning of last year and is on a the upswing going into the season. There is stock in the fact that Pruitt is a good coach who can motivate his team to improve and not just another imposter like Butch. UGA loses many important pieces on O and don't have a spring practice to help implement the new players and scheme. Many feel like UGA will have a slight rebuild relative to their previous few years. Perception would suggest that the game will be closer this year. Will it? who knows

I think theres an off chance that UT, UF, and UGA will all end up with 2 SEC losses and the UT/UGA game will decide the east. If that plays out, That would be one hell of a late season matchup and i think you could probably toss the last few years out the window because it would be a whole different scenario this time around.

UGA isn't invincible, you managed to lose to a 4-8 SC team late in the season last year

If Newman is as advertised UGA is no worse than 11-1 and 70/30 to win the SEC and make the Playoff.

If not, the only thing you can say with certainty is that the Dawgs will still beat Florida.

2. Based on LSU’s beat down of GA, and the fact Florida took LSU to the 4th Quarter, I can truly say Florida has the better team


Then you'll have to admit that Kirby is the better game day coach if UF had the better team

You lost to your to biggest East rivals by a combined score of 77-17 and needed a miracle to beat an average Indiana team in your bowl game.

Your best showing was probably a 35-13 loss to Bama.

In the first 4 games when we were admittedly a shite team. But like i said...

We won the game and finished 5-3 in the SEC, which is the best weve done in 5 years. That is after starting 0-2. Improvement is improvement. We should be even better this coming year. If you want to discount Pruitts ability as a head coach that is fine, but most on here seem to think hes doing a pretty good job so far.

The season before last, you lost to an overrated Texas in the bowl game. Did that affect you in 2019 at all?

Yep, everyone loses to Bama. In fact, UGA hasn't beaten them since 2007.

We are likely going to get a spring practice in July.

Is it more of a rebuild than when we had to replace 35 senior starters who were first round picks after 2017? We had a lot to rebuild after 2016 as well.

That's your evidence?All those games were played the last 1/3 of the season

Not sure if going from bad to slightly not bad is making much of a case for improvement.

Your bowl game was far more important for the UT program than the Texas game was for UGA's program. I will say it was a lesson well learned by Kirby and his staff.He took this years Sugar Bowl far more seriously and made sure the players did as well.

I said relative to previous years, so yes. In 2017 you went 13-2 with an SEC championship and then 2018 regressed slightly to 11-3 with a loss in the SEC and the bowl game. Im not saying UGA is going to suck this year, I still have you winning 9-10 games which is a great season. I just dont think your path to the SECC this year is quite as easy as it has been in the past few years.

I think its fairly reasonable to say that losing a 3 yr starter at QB, a few Oline starters, your best RB, kicker, and switching to a new unproven OC who is running a new scheme might not be the easiest transition. And you get Bama in week 3.

Uga 2017 was much better than 2016 despite having to replace a lot. Went 11-1 with a new qb, new OT’s, and a new WR group.

Uga 2018 was arguably better than 2017 despite losing all of that talent. Went 11-1 again.

Uga 2019 lost a ton of key playmakers. Went 11-1 for the 3rd straight season.

Point is, Some programs are just built to reload year after year.

going from 1-4 to 8-5 is an improvement. I dont care how you slice it but go ahead and try. UK, SC, State, Mizzou Vandy were all games that we would have lost in the previous years. You have to beat the bad teasm before you can beat the good ones.

Improvement means getting better, surely i don't have to spell that out for you?

Losing a bowl game = "it was a learning experience for UGA"

Wining a bowl game = "lulz Vols sux"

I'm assuming that includes GSU and BYU.

Never said this at all.Just said it wasn't much of an improvement especially with the time to prepare for the bowl game. Probably was a learning expirence for Pruitt as well.

We took Bama to the wire the last 2 times we played.I don't expect this fall to be any different.
