One of the most overrated programs in the nation.

Huh? Alabama usually plays one of the toughest schedules in college football. Georgia is the one that plays in the east and magically avoided west teams over the years.


Do yall? Based on what?

What about a season in which bama has faced 3 top 6 teams on the road?

Domers could suck arse for two decades straight and still be preseason top 10.

I guess we are only ranked higher than Sanford, Miss State and UCF looking at our schedule.

We don't play them so I'm not sure what a game last year has to do with this year.

Keep in mind that #4 Texas, #5, Alabama and #6 Ole Miss do not play one another during the regular season. While #1 Georgia must play all three of them on the road.

Schedule does Georgia no favors.

I'm surprised one and two aren't closer.

Karma from years of weak arse scheduling hitting all at once.

One of the weirder hypotheticals would be if Georgia lost all three of those road games (and let’s assume they win the rest).

A 9-3 Georgia with 3 losses all on the road to, at least at this point, all really good teams, what is their CFP fate? Obviously I know a lot would depend on the rest of the landscape, but it’s an interesting one to think about.
For the record I don’t think they would drop all three of those games.

They are in a wait and see approach after what Freeze have done last year and not rightly deserve to be ranked this year. He needs to prove it this year before being ranked. Just like Drinkwitz wasn't ranked last year and now he is ranked this year because he proved it last year.

Haha, good one…will you ever get a respectable schedule? That’s when you’ll get respect.

Big XII gonna be all kinds of fun to watch.

No real elite teams, but 5 teams in the 13-24 range of the rankings. Very little separation in the top 7 or 8 teams in the conference will make for a lot of good football games.

No one has a clue, even about their own team. We're all just hoping for the best. Pre-season polls are tits on a bull.

But remember, TEXAS sucks and is overrated and doesn’t know what they’re in for now that they’re in the Big Boy Conference. Easy W for the Dawgs.

It's your turn to get ground under the wheel. Suck it up, we in the West have all had to do it at some point.
