There are questions at QB, and Georgia lost a bunch of other players to the NFL, but there is zero reason to believe that the Georgia Bulldogs won’t be the representative in Atlanta for the SEC East.
Tennessee isn’t consistent enough, and no one else has a roster that should be able to contend with Georgia.
There really isn’t a need to overthink this or try and craft some crazy narrative at this point in the season as to why the Bulldogs won’t be on top again.
They have won 17 games in a row and 21 of their last 22 games. Until someone proves they are better, we aren’t going to bet against them.
