Week 1 SEC rankings: LSU looks tough to tame, Elite Texas âDâ keeps Horns high
ATHENS â College football preseason polls mean less than ever with the proliferation of transfer portal movement, so a Top 25 shakeup should be in order.

Bobo ball under Stockton. Get used to it.
Nice video, good points & fair synopsis. Can't disagree with any of it.
Thanks!
Week two coming up and all these numbers flying around from so called “experts” with all their predictions about who is going to do or be what. At this point in the season, we’re all “experts” because no one truly knows how the season will play out. Arch Manning started out as #1 on the Heisman watch list. One game later he’s dropped to #7. We all knew it was the Manning name that got him to #1 but did that make any difference to all the so called “experts”? Nope! As it always has, things will be earned on the field of play, not from opinions. Go Dawgs!
Dang, I could not say it any better @BornADawg! I do not think we will see who the real deal is until we get into the season further. I will say this: none of the usual suspects scare me that much, based on their first game, but it is a long season, and week 2 is when every team starts to put it together. I think we will be bland against Austin Peay so as not to show UT too much before game 3 in Knoxville. I like how are defense, especially our front line, is coming together. I especially like how CJ Allen and Raylen Wilson are starting to be dominant in the Mike. We have missed that a bit. @MikeGriffith What are your honest thoughts on our DL? I think they are much improved from last year, especially McCloud, Jordan, and Miller, but they are all healthy now as well.
I guess this is off topic but I just have to say that Bill Belicheck robot on the sideline,,last night..what the heck was that?
Bama is paying Nick Sabin $500,000 to be an advisor? I'll bet Kalen DeBoer is looking over his shoulder with every decision he makes. This can't be a comfortable situation.
There's one with big ears that has a tv show in the afternoons that is wrong more than right on his predictions. How does these people get where they are? Oh yeah, lots of Alabama viewers.
"Arch Manning’s off day is on the head coach"______MG
Sorry Mike....gotta disagree. Arch Manning is no Babe-in-the-woods. He knew what to expect...and choked. You've been listening to the hype'sters trying to justify their uninformed hype.
I'd bet, more than half of em never watched the kid play, with a critical eye. Too enamored by the name brand.
He wasn't ready for the moment ...cause, he's not ready. Period. I'm not sure he ever will be ready to lead a team to a Championship. I'm pulling for him....but, he lives in a different world than the rest of us.
IMO....I believe the nuclear expectations surrounding him and his family...have crippled him.
I've said before....that if you take 100 kids that can throw, run and have prototype QB size.....you might find "One", with the mental capability to handle the pressure & momentum swings, without losing focus.
Go Dawgs. Lookin' forward to next week's SEC Breakdown. Though....I haven't found more than 1 or 2 CFB Games that interest me, this weekend. The schedule for week 2 is crapola. Lol
Texas wins the SEC? Not in my eyes. UGA wins the SEC. I think the O-line is still the question mark…. but scheming should improve and most of all execution. I did not factor in injuries? UGA will only improve as games are played. Vanilla calls will disappear as I see it. Too much talent. RBs will begin to really show out. WRs will ball out big time…D-line is one of best in country already. I do wince a bit with the TN tilt. Aguilar looked good against Syracuse. I agree on TN's defense too. Going to be a mega-battle for sure.
I watched the first quarter again. I recommend you go back...and watch Micah Morris. My gawd!...what a beast for a LG.
If you go back and watch the first 2 series'....Watch Morris [56] and Freeling [57] work the right side on the runs. I swear...Morris was blocking 3 defenders at one time on the 2nd series.
Those 2 guys alone...with a little Help from Delp [Lol]...will open some holes this year. Then...throw in Gaston [73/Fr] and Bobo [74] on the other side....UGA's Offensive Line is more than ready. Imo
With the downfield blocking, pancakes and hustle, I saw, Saturday.....the offensive line is officially...NOT a question mark in my book. In fact, they are much, much better than I thought they would be.
I'm sure a lot of that has to do with who the Dawgs were playing. But, that doesn't account for everything I saw. These guys are hungry.
P.S......note that the left guard and tackle have the #'s 56 & 57....while the right side has the #'s 73 & 74. Lol....I don't think I've ever seen that. Wonder how much of it is coincidence?.
AND...There's 90% of the Bama problem, right there. Keeping Nick attached to the program...sent a mixed message to the players. You can imagine what those messages were. Lol
Arch's footwork/throwing motion technique was abysmal Saturday. Surprising coming from a lineage of great QB's. Throwing passes sidearmed and not stepping into several passes atempts but flat footed. Errant throws, maybe overly geeked up.
I'll go on record and say that Bill Belechick will be a one and done if he even makes it to the end of the season. (0% of the NC fans left before the 4th quarter. Never seen a crowd so stunned by what they were watching. And the place was rocking before the game and after the opening TD. And he's not the coach of that team but a figure head. I never saw him communicate with anyone during the game, coaches or players. JUst stood there with a preterbed expression on his face all night. Even from the beginnning. Even when they were doing their version of the DAWGWAlk , he had his head down and wouldn't smile or wave at anyone in the crowd, didn't look as if he was enjoying the college scene one bit. Never seen anything like it. NC fans will grow tired of it soon IMHO.
I think a lot of that, had to do with the Longhorn Defense. I am NOT looking forward to UGA having to face that "D".
If they get by Texas, in Nov....they've beaten the 2nd best defense in the SEC.
If they don't....then, they've gotten beat by the best defense in the SEC.
TEX vs UGA....Circle it!
Imo....UGA will meet OSU in the CFP.…the winner will win the Natty.
We know what ole Billy Boy was thinkin' 'bout. That Golddigger Jewelry contract…he's been gettin' high on his own supply as Tony Montana would say.
I knew there had to be a darned good reason, why teams like Atlanta passed on him.
The only people willing to hire him, we're the people, spending "Other People's Money" (OPM). How many $50+ million buyouts will it take, before the taxpayer says enough's, enough? Lol
