LSU is a mixed bag of very talented players and coaches, and some players and coaches not talented enough for the SEC.

Tenn is very good, but very good isn’t enough to beat Alabama, Saban’s teams have never played bad two weeks in a row at Bama.

Arkansas and Kentucky appeared impressive and moving in the right direction, now that’s been put on hold for another year or more, both are a mystery as to their sudden mediocre play.

Miss St and Ole Miss are both capable of winning the West, despite both being outspent, out recruited and both being from the least populated state in the SEC. Extremely impressive showing.

SC will fight hard to never allow itself to be as humbled as Vandy.

Fla is probably closer to LSU, a mixed bag of talented players and coaches, and some not talented enough. Saturday will settle who has better of both.

Alabama has talented backups at every position, but Not at the most important one, at QB. Ga has similar talent but for whatever reason doesn’t appear as hungry as Ga teams in the past, not the physical consistent play we seen last year.

Aub hates success or doesn’t recognize it, how do you fire a coach that beats Saban more than any coach currently in the SEC?

By firing a guy who can't win a fricking game on the road vs. his rivals, who refuses to recruit O-Line and who refuses to modernize his offense.

Nobody misses Gus.

We look pretty dead in the water rn. The problems this team is having aren’t fixable. We’ve got 3 ranked matchups left on our schedule. Would be nice to play spoiler against those teams. If we could somehow get to 8-4, it would be a nice salvage job to some degree.

I agree with almost everything you said, except I think Tennessee absolutely has a chance to beat this Alabama team. Especially if Bryce Young isn’t completely healthy.

I agree, if Bryce doesn’t play, Tenn has a chance. The drop off at QB for Bama is shockingly steep with Bryce out. But he’ll play, I assume.

I disagree.

Georgia hasn't been explosive this year. Stet is missing the over the top shots that he hit last season. Outside of that, the offense and defense is more than fine.

There are question marks about the OL in an away environment. Those will be answered at Mississippi state.

There are a few injuries that temporarily effect depth (carter at DT and Mitchell at X receiver). But they should be back for all of our big games. We are getting the younger pups ready in the absence. So long as conditioning isn't an issue when Jalen Carter and AD Mitchell return, this is a positive for UGA.

Anytime you have an elite offense, you put a ton of stress on the other team.

Especially when you have a quarterback like Hooker who can run and pass and doesn't turn the ball over.

I'll take Tennessee, even if Young is back.

State will beat Kentucky, Auburn and East Tennessee - all by double digits. That leaves the Top 10 teams - Alabama, Georgia and Ole Miss. Wondering if they can get one of those and have a New Years 6 season. Get two and we might play Tennessee in Atlanta again.

His strategy beat Saban. You can find someone that is a good Xs & Os coach that can recruit and develop too. Gus' problem was when it came to every other game with good coaches that could do more than just recruit.

Aub went from occasionally beating Saban to never again. I understand what you’re saying it’s just I put I high value on defeating the GOAT!

We're a disappointing middle of the road SEC team. Not just SECW.

Kind of impressed with Bama and TennerC - both have grit when the game is on the line and don't fold.

Cats and Auburn are pretty surprising. Thought Auburn would be much improved.

Georgia is still a question mark as to whether or not they are best in class. They always field good teams though.

I am not a fan of our coach in Brian Kelly. I think we sold our soul for a stubborn old'ish man and it sucks

Kentucky was a sham. Now we are a shame.

Also Auburn in recent history. Because even in our shittiest of recent years, they were still a W.

It does seem like our offense has pressured opposing coaches into making some really questionable decisions on 4th down simply due to not wanting to give Tennessee’s offense another possession

I think Napier went for it on 4th down six times against Tennessee and nearly every one of them would’ve been a disaster for Florida if they didn’t get it. And a couple of Kelly’s decisions to go for it seemed insane at the time and even worse in hindsight

We have an outside chance especially if Jeremy Banks gets ahold of Bryce young a few times. Also If DKR caused Bama problems Neyland will be exponentially louder.

State is about what I expected, surprised at how much and how well they are running the ball. The second half in Baton Rouge definitely stings, LSU was dead in the water and you let Daniels make some plays with his legs and once the crowd was into it you succumbed to the atmosphere. But they’ve responded extremely well since then. Beat Kentucky this week and you’ve got a chance to play yourself into an NY6 Bowl over the last month of the season.
