So, who's the next big winner in the SEC--Georgia? Part 1.

Winning the SEC championship, and possibly the national championship, depends on several factors. These include: talent on the field, talent on the sideline, the right schedule, and some luck. In my awesome opinion, the true contenders each year should include LSU, Auburn, Florida, Tennessee and Georgia. Alabama could be there soon.


Georgia
On paper, they have the talent on the field. They really might have the talent, but we'll have to see whether there's chemistry between Stafford and the wide receivers this year. That lack of chemistry has hurt the offense the last couple of years.

I still don't know whether there is enough talent on the sidelines or not. The staff clearly did a better job the second half of last season than the first, but we'll have to see how they handle an entire season with expectations so high.

Georgia's schedule this season is not conducive to big winning. Georgia could be exactly like LSU was two seasons ago when they finished the season with two losses and was possibly the toughest team to beat at the end of the season. Unlike last year, LSU's two losses kept them from playing for the SEC and national championships.

We'll have to see how their luck goes. They've had some bad luck the last few years regarding injuries to their offensive linemen, and that has already started again this season. Last season, their season turned around with that win over Florida. They were also VERY lucky to catch Florida the week after Kentucky nearly knocked Tebow out of the game. Tebow and the coaches were very cautious against Georgia, so cautious that Tebow didn't have any carries until the end of the first half. T is a great passer (his passing is overshadowed by his running), but Florida's offense didn't move unless he was a legitimate threat to carry the ball.

Georgia can win a championship, and possibly win one soon. They may need their schedule to ease up some, like it will next season.
