Quotable:

There are plenty of reasons why Georgia should win the East division, but this team isn't nearly as sturdily in the penthouse as Bama and LSU are out West. Indeed, there's no guarantee the team will even win 10 games. The team will play at Missouri without several key suspended secondary starters, and it has to travel to fellow East contender South Carolina as well. Despite winning three of the last eight in the series, the Florida game in Jacksonville might still be a bit of a psychological hurdle (and the Gators will likely be better than they were last year anyway). Georgia's slate is about as friendly as they come because the team doesn't have to play either the three West division heavyweights or itself, but enough pitfalls exist that UGA is no more a lock than anyone else is.
