Georgia coach Kirby Smart has taken note of the parity in the SEC and wondered aloud if the winner of the SEC title game will have as many as three losses.
Read the full story here
I guess Kirby's fortunate, then....that, everybody else is facing the same gauntlet. Or worse. Not many Teams are in better position schedule-wise.....than the Dawgs. Imo.
Go Dawgs.....Take No Excuses & Leave No Doubt.
@BigDawg61 —- 3 of the last 4 SEC games are against Top 25 including a trip to play what may be the best, Ole Miss… and Florida has shown some teeth. I don't think it's the easiest remaining SEC slate by a long shot.
No excuses, Coach Smart. You make about $1 million to win a regular season game. Time to earn it.
That’s why Kirbyco makes the big bucks.
UGA will need some luck relative to health down the stretch. And it will need a return to form by QB GS. UGA's ceiling in '26 is tied directly to GS's ceiling.
There are too many injuries these days. Ohio State just lost their QB for the season, our RB room has been vaporized and our two big transfer players have been inconsequential. These guys in college are physical freaks and they're not even fully grown yet. When I was in high school a 200 lb player was rare. Now, kids are coming out at 6'7" and 350. What is that all about?
@UGADad20 Agreed, Gunner's ceiling is tied to Georgia's title hopes.
Below is a breakdown of the remaining schedules for the rest of the SEC in contention or playing solid football. The bottom part of the league wasn't included for obvious reasons. Lol...even though....I did have to throw Texas in there....just because.
The Teams, I consider most competitive were included. While, physical SEC Teams.....A&M, USC, ARK, VANDY, OKLA and Out of Conference Teams....were not included.
UGA.....….FLA, MISS, MIZ
UK...........TENN, FLA, MIZ
UT.........…UK, LSU
MISS....…TEX, AUB, UGA
BAMA.....LSU, AUB
FLA.........UGA, UK, LSU
LSU......…AUB, BAMA, TEX, TENN
MSU.......TEX, AUB, MISS
MIZ.......…TEX, UGA, UK
AUB.........LSU, MISS, MSU, BAMA
TEX.........MISS, MSU, MIZ, LSU
Looks to me, like we can all say our goodbyes to the following....AUB, TEX, LSU, MSU and the Weak-5, right now. Of the others....only Tennessee & Bama have the cleanest runway.
From what I've seen....I expect the Dawgs to face Bama once again, in the SECCG. However....in the SEC, ya never know.
Lol.....Kirby's "new & improved", '26 CFP Strategy may include "missing the SECCG"...Lol. Meaning....the Dawgs would have to lose at least one more time. But, I don't think that'll happen.
Go get em Big Red!!! Time to turn up the heat a little bit.
Disagree....UGA's Title Hopes are tied to that Defense & Running Game. With that TE & WR Group UGA has....The passing game is adequate. No matter who's under center....imo. That said...Puglisi is more than capable of carrying the load.
However...I will say...Stockton's leadership on the field is valuable beyond words. He ain't losing' that. He's a natural born leader...imo...so, we good. Lol
Like my Dear Old' Dad used to say...."A good receiver can make a quarterback Look good". Nothing has been "more true"....in my experience.
DESPERATION!!! It's an SEC thang. Lol
You look around the other Conferences....and they "might" have two or three games to sweat every Season. Sometimes four. Lol..maybe.
In the SEC....You better be sweating' every week. Every game matters and is played against an equally physical and talented team...more or less.
The Dawgs have to face everybody's best game for the most part...and take their best punch. There's been a target on their back for years....and, they dealt with it like Champions. I expect no less this year.
GGo Dawgs!
So I guess Georgia is just happy winning a SEC championship and not a natty.
Don’t count out South Carolina. The way we played Saturday makes them look competitive
You can't really count anybody out. That was partially the point I was trying to make. Teams like Carolina...though inconsistent... Are Dangerous.
The likes of UGA, Bama, Ole Miss, Tenn & Missouri are playing consistently solid football. The other guys...need their A-Game along with a few errors and breaks....to beat em. And, that's not out of the question....especially, after a physical game ala, UGA vs Bama.
IMO.......Both UGA and Alabama looked like a shadow of themselves last Saturday. It was obvious that they were both beat up and emotionally & physically drained. Even Kirby said before the gaAUB Game...."we're a beat up team, right now". Those were not random words.
IF......You catch one of the Top 4 or 5 SEC Teams after a game like that....and you play your best....you stand a chance.
Also....both Georgia & Florida have a week to recuperate before they meet in JAX. That's gonna be one helluva game. Very physical....imo.
FLA will be prepared for UGA's Rushing Attack. But....the Dawgs will be prepared for that....so, look for a prolific passing attack with Gunner leading the way with his legs.
Don't forget the defense. The Gators are gonna have to score to win. Those D-Dawgs' pride was damaged a little bit, last week. You can bet that won't happen again....especially against Florida. They're going to come out and make a statement....imo. And I can't wait. Lol
