So many of our games continue to look more and more winnable.

Georgia didn't look great against Kentucky (who lost to S Carolina)
OU has struggled on offense, so has A&M
Mississippi State looks awful, got destroyed by Toledo
Florida will have a new coach when we play them
Vanderbilt lost to Georgia State
Arkansas struggled with UAB

Past game performance isn't always a good predictor of future games, particularly when the next opponent is a big game, or rivalry.

The week before the Georgia Kentucky game Kentucky lost to south Carolina 31 to 6. After that result I told my wife's Georgia fan cousins that it should be an easy game. I was obviously wrong Kentucky tends to put up a good fight against Georgia in Lexington, particularly at night.

Every team we play for the rest of the season will have the Texas game circled. So yes on paper the only game that should be a challenge is Georgia, but we will definitely be the super bowl for arky,aggy and ou and the other schools aren't going to just roll over.

I expect us to be favored in every game, including Georgia. Hopefully we win them all, but most won't be easy.

I definitely agree with your point here. Texas should take no one lightly and Sark seems determined to make sure they don't do that, "we are capable of anything and entitled to nothing" has been the mantra.

That said, a lot of the questions about these opponents haven't been answered positively while the questions we had about Texas have. Every game is very winnable. It's football, so dropping 1 or 2 wouldn't shock me either.

I may be wrong but it’s hard for me to believe a team with consistent and considerable off field issues has the discipline to win big games. I know Georgia is ultra talented and will win plenty of games but at some when they face teams with comparable talent it will come down to execution. In my opinion they will implode at some point this year. They play us, Alabama and Ole mIss on the road and Tennessee at home. They could legitimately lose all four.

ou will be destroyed this week in Norman by Tennessee. My only regret is that Tennessee will get to do it before we do. lol

I thought Michigan would be toast last year with all of the distractions they had, I was obviously wrong.

Kirby is obviously a great coach, and will have his talented team ready each week.

I like our chances against Georgia, but would be very surprised if they "imploded".

Well, yeah, if his players can survive driving an automobile. lol

Implode is probably the wrong term. Underachievement for a talented team is more what I’m thinking. Michigan was more adult distractions. Georgia is having issues with multiple players being idiots and the program can’t seem to get a handle on them. I think Kirby is a good enough coach to overcome some of it but it will catch up with them. I would compare it to Florida with Urban Meyer and every team Jimbo coached. We will know more in the next few weeks but I will not be surprised if at some point this year people are asking what happened to Georgia?

I think you are right.
However, UGA's offense better get better because they've got a tough schedule ahead. They are off this week but I give it about even odds that Bama may knock them off in two weeks. Then a 2-3 weeks later they play #1 Texas, Florida, #5 Miss, and #6 Tenn. They arent going to make it through that gauntlet scoring on TD the way they did against UK.
