For us to beat UK and Vandy (yes, Vandy), FL and Ole Miss in away games and ATM at home sounds improbable. Need some serious breaks in these games to win... breaks we don't seem to get anymore.
How Many SEC Losses Would Eliminate Us From the SEC East Race, And Thus Open Up 12/1?
- Thread starter king ward
- Start date
Yea of little faith.
However, I agree the CFP committee would likely take a two loss Alabama team over SC as SEC champs using their sophisticated metric;
Alabama > All other SEC champs = Alabama
Our offense has to do more and I think it can do more. But our defense is undersized in key areas, and undermanned in terms of quality numbers. It's going to tell on us some more.
This is true... and we still outranked Vandy and KY (and perhaps Ole Miss and Mizzou) in recruiting the past 4 years... so we should still have better athletes on the field. Although when you get down to the 3*'s maybe there's not a whole lot of difference. Of course Lock and Shurmer are about 45 years old by now, too.
It's a little bit like Va. Tech. They've never had ultra-high rankings, but that's because they don't go after as much glitz. They get the kind of physical players we need right now in the front seven.
LSU is our toughest IMO. We're on a 10-3 run with Auburn at the moment and they haven't won in Athens since Bush was President. I actually think we'll steamroll Auburn between the hedges. It's our biggest home game this year by far. Our 3 most difficult regular season games this year in order are 1-@ LSU,
2- @ South Carolina, 3- Auburn in Athens.
Since last year our average margin of victory against the SEC is around 28 points.
Thought the same thing when I read this post. Think it's more like 31 against SEC East teams, right?
Actually it was just over 29 last year against the East... just over 22 for the regular season SEC last year.
Well, hypothetically, if we win out, we'd have a win against the greatest team in history (the ones with greatness inside them) and Alabama. There's no way that team isn't getting into the playoffs, even with an ugly loss to UGA.
But that ain't happening.
The better question should be "What's more likely; we win out in the SEC, or Georgia loses 2 SEC games?" Based on what we've seen so far, neither one is likely, but when you need _both_ to happen, you are approaching Powerball Jackpot odds.
Y'all need to worry about breaking that 4 game losing streak against Kentucky first.
Y’all need to take up collection to downsize dumbos ears
Last time y’all played Kentucky they kicked your azz
Too many people confuse lack of experience with lack of talent. Actually, chances are that they blow out almost everyone on their schedule because their talent is just that good. Wait and see. They certainly blew out almost everyone on their schedule last year until the playoffs. Yes, they lost experience, but their talent level actually increased across the board. Fromm has another year under his belt and now throw Justin Fields into the mix.
Yeah, there will be a lot of teams not named UMass losing by 24+ to UGA.
And those backs that they have are really damn good.

We might have seemed tough on paper but damn sure weren't in person. We put up as much fight as Austin Peay.
Won’t be Mizzou losing by 24, and I get the talent/experience thing, but you don’t replace backs like they had in 2017 that easily. That OL will help make these new guys look good for sure. Maybe they’ll blow everyone else out, but it’s more a testament to how we crapped the bed against them in the 2nd half in particular. I’m sure very few if any of their opponents will give up 21 points to start the 2nd half just like that
