Yeah because good RB's combined with a new QB (likely), no WR's, and no defense = success.

Losing Murray and King hurts that offense majorly.

Then they lose their entire secondary and top 2 LB's.

Not exactly a recipe for an East title.

You dolt. We won't "likely" have a new QB, Murray is almost definitely coming back. Our entire OL returns. At WR we return our best WR from last year before he went down with a knee injury and Malcolm Mitchell, plus other guys who have played well when called on. We return both TEs. Return our starting FB, and both RBs. Our offense is absolutely loaded.

And to say we have no defense is inaccurate. I started a thread on the UGA board about this topic so I won't repost it all here, but we won't be as bad on defense as people think.

Eh. Gurley had 39 yards on 13 carries against us. Marshall had 37 on 12 carries. They're very good but aren't unstoppable. They will have a good offense but their D will be take a big hit.

I expect OM's chances to grow at least slightly with each season also. Y'all are on the rise for sure. Y'all were probably 2 plays from being 2nd in the West this year

West
Bama = 32%
TAMU = 31% ----Bama is looking for revenge and has LSU in BR. The only reason they're 1% lower.
LSU = 32%
Field = 5%

East
UF = 35%----losing Gillislee, Elam, bostic, and jenkins hurts, and hurts bad.
USCe = 35%
UGA = 25% ----losing their D hurts. But, Murray is most likely back and they may gel late.
Field = 5%

Calvin Johnson ended his 3 year career with 9 catches for 71 yards and 1 TD against UGA. So I guess he was pretty meh right? Just because Gurley/Marshall didn't light it up against YOUR team last year doesn't mean they aren't both beasts, and a very good reason why we'll contend for the east next year.

Until Georgia shows off this "absolutely loaded" offense against us, I think they are overrated.

Florida- 35%
USC- 30%
UGA- 25%
Field- 10%

U mad?

Sorry, a team that loses almost every single starter on defense isn't a contender for it's division when Florida and SC are in it.

But I understand, can't think like that as a fan, I feel you.

They are losing a lot but not "almost all". Off the top of my head isn't Garrison Smith, Jordan Jenkins, Amarlo Herrera, Damian Swann, Chase Vasser,and Kwame Geathers (up in air) slated to return. If so, that is six players who have been starters.

This is exactly what I was thinking right before I posted. I forgot to even include Vasser, so you're spot on with the 6.

LSU's chances are much better than aTm's even with the schedule differences. LSU is returning a lot of people and it's starting to look like we may be returning some players who everyone believed would enter the draft. (Logan and Mingo).

aTm is losing that o line and JFF will still be good, but he won't have the same type year as 2012.

Bama loses a lot on D and a good amount on the o line. I think even with the scheduling differences we'll see a tight race for the west.
