Let’s be real here.

What teams not named Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Texas A&M, LSU or Auburn have the talent to not have a spring camp or an actual summer intense work out program, with QB and WR throwing and receiving about 4000 passes?

And LSU got decimated 2 consecutive years by early draft entries along with loss of seniors, so all of their 5 star talents are freshmen or first year players.

The rest of the SEC are what they should have expected to be in a season like this with most of the players being 3 stars.

No disagreement there, but the inability to go toe to toe with Bama, Florida, and Georgia isn’t the issue. Having the 97th ranked offense and needing a 5-0 turnover margin to beat Vandy is the issue. We’re not even mediocre at the one thing Leach supposedly brings to the table

That the real reality. Right now this team is Tech and 10 bad.

Arkansas, Missouri, and Ole Miss are all having respectable results considering.

As bad as this season is for all teams, this will be a scrimmage for Georgia

Yes. Considering it is an all SEC schedule. We expected to have a losing record at this point. We didn’t expect the abysmal on field performance. They’ve all had the season we thought we would. Win what we should and not look like complete **** in the other games.

Considering they've been respectable in their losses, yes. Hell, we weren't even respectable in one of our wins.

It doesn’t take rocket science to see their on field performance vs ours with first year coaches.

And I see your point about not being able to go toe to toe with the blue bloods. But my point was you could throw the other 8 teams in a hat, let em play each other, and likely they would be between 3-4 and 4-3 because they are that close talent wise.
