I hope to see some of those SEC teams fall by the wayside. I was shocked to see Georgia ranked so highly, but I do wish them well in SEC play since they are now one of the top 3 (relatively) Whitest teams in the league. :noidea:

The (pro-caste) press loves the Blackdawgs defense. However, their OL will need to improve to keep that afroletic defense off the field. UGA has a good QB (Murray), WR (Bennett), FB (Merritt Hall) and TE (Lynch) so if the OL steps up...hopefully these 4 players will produce.

Georgia caught a break....they do not have to play Alabama, LSU, or Arkansas this season.
