Dawgnation deals with it.

If Morehead and McGarity are worried about potential fan complaints concerning beer service, should that be introduced in the friendly confines of Sanford Stadium (I know, I know, but work with me here), this scene should eradicate their concern.

If there’s one thing Georgia fans have proven over the last two seasons, it’s that we’ll put up with just about anything in the service of watching Georgia football.

Is Agent Muschamp’s work done here?

Year 4 of the Boom Era got off to a swimming start, marked by the usual offensive improvement that is a Muschamp staple…

Favorite stat of Week 1:

Best pass efficiency rating in a single quarter: UNC's Sam Howell in the 4th quarter vs. South Carolina (348.7)

Worst efficiency rating in a single quarter: South Carolina's Jake Bentley in the 4th quarter vs. UNC (–8.2)

… as well as holding its own against its in state rival.

Bizarre stat: The University of South Carolina football program has suffered more ACC losses (3) in their last 4 games played than Clemson football has experienced in their last 4+ years (2).

In case you’re wondering — and you’re hardly alone if you are — Muschamp’s buyout is exactly what you’d expect after Jimmy Sexton spent a little time with an AD who was a former baseball coach.

Poor Gamecocks – literally. According to USA Today's salary database, Muschamp's buyout — as of April 1, 2019 — is $18.6 million if fired after Dec. 31, one of the larger sums nationally. That number is a gargantuan $22 million if he's fired before the season is over.

I’d love to know what program Sexton convinced Tanner was a threat to bid for Boom’s services.  Not that it matters right now, with that buyout…

SEC Power Poll, Week One

Week One?  It was the best of times.

UPDATE:

The SEC's horrifically brutal week ends with their 6 teams in in the Top 16 going 6-0.

Outscoring opponents 219-50 and knocking off the 11th ranked team in the country. https://t.co/yI8ngELi31

It was the worst of times.

In 2018, the #SEC only lost 3 games TOTAL against non-Power 5 teams (42-3, 93%).

One week into 2019 and they have already matched that loss total. 5-3 (63%) against non-P5 teams.

Takeaway: It is hard to make a case for two #CFPlayoff teams with poor conference performance.

On to the PP.

1. 1. Alabama.  You were expecting somebody else here?
   2. Georgia.  Good teams bring their B game on the road against conference opponents and win.  Great teams do that and are never threatened.
   3. LSU.  It was LSU’s opener, so I don’t know if it will turn out to be a mirage, but the Tigers just absolutely ripped Georgia Southern a new one.
   4. Auburn.  You were warned about years when the pundits don’t take Auburn seriously, Oregon.
   5. Florida.  Looking back, it wasn’t pretty, but it was a win over a P5 opponent.
   6. Texas A&M.  I can’t take a solid win over Texas State more seriously than this.
   7. Mississippi State.  The Bulldogs spotted Louisiana-Lafayette seven players and still won by ten.  Stevens looks like he may wind up being a better QB in Moorhead’s offense than Fitzgerald was.
   8. Kentucky.  Ground down and beat a decent MAC team by two touchdowns.  But they are missing last year’s stars.
   9. South Carolina.  Bowl eligibility just got a lot harder.
   10. Missouri.  When you don’t have a postseason to play for, dropping a game in Laramie is a good way to unravel a regular season.
   11. Vanderbilt.  Introducing your typical not good, but a pain in the ass to play Vanderbilt team.
   12. Ole Miss.  That offense looked wretched.  This isn’t going to be a fun team to watch this season.
   13. Arkansas.  Awful against a cupcake, but the Hogs still won.  This week, that’s good enough to keep them out of the cellar.
   14. Tennessee.  It would be blogging malpractice to list any other team in this spot.
