Behind Stanford? did they forget Luck is gone?

[DocZaius]

Polls seldom make sense that way. Georgia and FSU aren't top 10 teams (although Georgia's got a cakewalk of a schedule this year).

[MinGator]

Yes, UGA has an incredibly easy SEC schedule this year.

Based on last year, we are probably ranked too high. It really grinds my gears when I see us picked 3rd in the East.

We should troll Swamp Gas with doom and gloom predictions. That could be fun!
