Year before last, they finished the season ranked # 2 and last year they were killed by injuries. Even the blowout loss to UF could have been much different if they didn't get every possible bad break in the first half.
I see a three team battle in the SEC East.
Some of us... ahem... predicted that UGA was overhyped last year and wouldn't win the SEC or NC. Specifically, I predicted they'd lose 3 and maybe 4 games due to their OL inexperience. They lost 3 and should have lost a 4th had USC not so reliably choked.
I like Richt but he does seem to have some Fulmer in him. He's not tough on his players and gives coaches leashes that are too long. I suspect he may be on the hot seat within the next couple of years for not winning championships with all that talent... in the mean time, Kiffin will have to target GA in recruiting to build up UT. One of them won't survive.
