Over at Roll Bama Roll, Erik Evans is a Georgia skeptic, because schedule, y’all.
Georgia remains one of the more suspect No. 1 teams we’ve seen lately. Their secondary still hasn’t faced anyone above 80th in passing rankings. And that’s probably good: the vaunted defense didn’t get to Will Levis as expected, and each of those “big wins” is looking sketchier each week: Clemson is just a team this season, the Wildcats are still a one-dimensional program overranked from a hot mess SEC East and easy OOC schedule, while the Hogs went from the toast of the town to a .500 team in the space of three weeks.
Meanwhile, Alabama “finally put it all together against solid conference teams, with veteran coaches, in must-win affairs”… against Mississippi State.
If that’s meant as parody, he’s really good at it.

Yeah, this isn’t going to stop – only wait to shut these folks up is to beat Alabama.

I can’t get too cocky because Bama and because I am currently ranked at 60th in the Fabris Pool but I can imagine Auburn beating this year’s Bama team. Nix is getting better every week and for whatever you have to say about the SEC East the SEC West does not look like it is any better.
When Saban leaves and they become either 1) just a really dominant team/ program and not the standard-bearer for the sport, or 2) a screaming shit show, or 3) a combination of the two, I for one will be very happy to check in on that crew over there.

The dumb-ass better start worrying about Auburn instead of looking down the road and trying to convince his marble sized brain that Georgia isn’t a threat.
Alabama doesn’t tackle well and Bo Nix (who is hot or cold) will almost certainly be on fire to win that one.
It’s hell for a UGA fan to have to pull for Auburn, but I will be. They are rapidly improving and have already faced the best team in the SEC this year.

Says the guy whose secondary turned Zach Calzada into Trevor Lawrence. Sure, we have a struggle win against Clemson, but Alabama has an even closer struggle win against Florida. Also, Kentucky isn’t the old barely-better-than-Vandy program of yesteryear. They beat Florida by a larger margin than Bama did and they’re ranked higher than the Texas A&M team that Bama lost to. Bama fans are whistling past the graveyard and I hope we get to kick their ass in December–assuming they don’t trip over someone else first.

I saw a very interesting thread in the comments of a Matt Brown article on The Athletic site yesterday (Behind the Ballot). A guy compiled the records of every FBS schools’ opponents against other FBS teams, removing the game against that school – to try to determine who had played the best opponents. For example, the records Clemson/UAB/S Car/Vandy/Ark/AU/KY have against FBS teams, not including Georgia.
Georgia’s opponents by far had the best record against FBS teams at 25-10. Michigan’s (17-9) and OK State (17-13) opponents were closest, but still 8 fewer wins. Kentucky is second in the SEC at 14-11. ‘Bama’s opponents are 12-12, and the Gators opponents are 7-11.
