A&M is 6th on that list.

You think they won't live up to that?

1. Alabama
2. Auburn

5. LSU
6. Texas A&M


I don't think the OP was ranking 1 through 6. He listed the top 6 teams in terms of expectations in alphabetical order.

I don’t see Florida taking the next step either. As much as I’d like them to I don’t think they will.

LSU may continue their run but I see them losing one somewhere but it shouldn’t be more then a game and 2 at the most.

UGA looks the same as last year and is the big dog in the East until someone steps up. Their D should keep them in all the games.

Aggies is the easy answer. They have done nothing to show they are near a top ten team. Returning starters that have done nothing isn't exactly impressive.

Absolutely the Gumps

Lather rinse repeat 2019.

Even WHOP-A-LOAD Phil Steele didn’t have the stones to make the Gumps #1 again in 2020.

They finished a generous # 8 after struggling with Michigan for 3-1/2 qtrs.

So being # 3 in Phil Steele’s preseason schittshow = Lucky to finish in Top 10

They won’t— 4 losses just like the Bear in 82

We went 11-1 with a bad offense last year. I think 11-1 with a slightly improved offense isn't asking that much


By all means I think Georgia will be good. But 11-1 is not enough to make the playoffs. See last year. Oh, and you guys play Bama this year.

That’s 3 teams we own and a team who owns us if anyone was wondering.

Well, you said it isn't like to happen and I was just showing that it's happened multiple times the last 3 years so it's pretty likely.

Also I feel like Auburn and Florida are our for blood. They will be looking to break losing streaks against y’all


They've been out for blood the last 3 years and haven't found it though. This year will be no different.

quote:

Will this be the year y’all actually run a modernized offense? I think that will go a long way in the success of Georgia’s season or lack there of


Maybe we will. But we relied on a stout defense last year with an average offense and still went 11-1. We could do the same thing next year.

Welp, we aren't ranked in the top four so it doesn't look like the hype is saying we are going to the playoffs. Oh, even playing Bama we can still go 11-1.

If we have an average offense we going to be very good cause our D is going to be hard to imagine good....

3-1 against those 4 is very doable for UGA...as is going 0-4 or 4-0.

UK ain't sneaky good UK is plain old every day good....there ain't no easy wins left in Lexington or when they travel.

Y’all may he more talented than them but that’s irrelevant once the game is kicked off especially considering those are both rivalries.
Can they go 3-1 against those teams? Yes they can but I wouldn’t put my life savings on it either. Will this be the year y’all actually run a modernized offense? I think that will go a long way in the success of Georgia’s season or lack there of.


The thing is rivalries go both ways. Yes, UF and Auburn would like nothing better than to get a win against UGA...but the same is true the other direction....especially Florida....

And being more talented is a pretty good indicator of which team is going to win most games. Not always but most often the more talented team wins and when they don't it usually has as much to do with the more talented team beating itself....over confident, stupid mistakes at critical points in the game, than it does with one team wanting to win more than the other.

We went 11-1 with a good defense and a offense that bordered on lousy....I can easily see us losing a couple but going 3-1 against Auburn, Kentucky, Florida and Bama wouldn't be shocking....

Not as sorry as I felt watching Oklahoma try to stand between LSU and a championship.

Easy choice would be LSU after losing GOAT College Football QB.

Next would have to be Georgia imo and then Bama. After us three which teams have really been believably hyped?
