♦
Sept. 3, Boise State (Ga. Dome), 8 p.m.
No. 5 Boise State has been outscored 121-40 in its past three games against SEC teams: Georgia (48-13 in 2005), South Carolina (41-14 in 2002) and Arkansas (32-13 in 2001). I like the Broncos anyway. I’m not sure Georgia’s defense has an answer for quarterback Kellen Moore (left), and as terrific as Aaron Murray is, I suspect it will take a little while to get used to life without A.J. Green. The Dogs’ cast of running backs is obviously thin (and Carlton Thomas is suspended for this game). If freshman Isaiah Crowell comes out like a wrecking ball, all bets are off. But I’m betting not.
Prediction: Bulldogs lose.
Sept. 10, South Carolina, 4:30 p.m.
Marcus Lattimore rushed for 182 yards and two touchdowns in the Gamecocks’ 17-6 win over Georgia in Columbia last season. On paper, No. 12 South Carolina should repeat as SEC East champions if Stephen Garcia doesn’t mess things up. But he very well might. The Dogs should be a little more comfortable in Athens than in the Georgia Dome. They’ll also feel a bit desperate after the opening loss to Boise State. The defense steps up just enough, and Murray will make one more play than Garcia in the end.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Sept. 17, Coastal Carolina, 1 p.m.
If the Dogs are 0-2 going into this game, Sanford Stadium is going to look like Tombstone, Ariz., post-shootout at the OK Corral. Either way, this one is a gimme. Coastal Carolina is an FCS (formerly Division I-AA) school that plays in a 9,000-seat stadium. The Chanticleers play these games for the paycheck — and to strike fear in their health insurance company.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Sept. 24, at Mississippi
The Rebels finished 4-8 last season after going 19-8 in coach Houston Nutt’s first two years, and they’ll be no better this year. Strange, considering the coach annually signs like 7,000 players for 20 spots in recruiting every year. Not much is expected from the Ole Miss defensive front, so this is a good chance for the Dogs’ offensive line and Crowell to get rolling.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Oct. 1, Mississippi State
Notwithstanding the losses to South Carolina and Arkansas that preceded it, Georgia’s 2010 season really fell apart with its 24-12 loss in Starkville (its first loss to Mississippi State since 1974). At 0-3 in the SEC, the season was over. That won’t be the case this time. No. 20 MSU lost some guys along the defensive front, and winning in Athens is something they’ve done only twice (1914 and 1956, with Georgia winning nine straight at home since).
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Oct. 8, at Tennessee
So things are rolling now, right? Four consecutive wins since the loss to Boise State and 3-0 in the SEC? Now comes trouble. I know. It’s Tennessee. But freshman quarterback Tyler Bray won four of his five starts down the stretch (16 touchdowns, seven interceptions), and coach Derek Dooley (left) gets his players to play hard, if not always smart. Mark Richt’s Dogs have been shellacked in their past two trips to Knoxville (combined score: 80-33). And I don’t believe Georgia will win every game it’s supposed to.
Prediction: Bulldogs lose.
Oct. 15, at Vanderbilt
Vandy ranked 110th in the nation in offense last season, and the wonder is that there were 10 teams worse. The Commodores scored 96 points in eight SEC games. Auburn scored 306. But at least Vandy beat Ole Miss. If the Dogs’ defense doesn’t smack Vandy, coordinator Todd Grantham may not want to board the bus afterward.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Oct. 29, Florida (Jacksonville), 3:30 p.m.
A game against Vandy and a bye week is about as good a setup as Georgia can have against its annual tormentors. But last year it had Vandy and Kentucky leading into Florida Week and still lost to a Gators team that had lost three straight (including 10-7 at home to Mississippi State). Florida won’t be great this season. But the offensive resume of new assistant Charlie Weis tells us that he’ll probably make something of quarterback John Brantley.
Prediction: Bulldogs lose.
Nov. 5, New Mexico State
Here’s your reach for positive karma. The last time Georgia played New Mexico State was in 2002, when Richt won his first SEC title in Athens. The Aggies are dreadful. They lost games last year by scores of 42-10, 42-16, 59-0, 52-6 and 59-24. Another walkover.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Nov. 12, Auburn
That guy at quarterback for No. 23 Auburn is gone. So is half of the defense. All together, 18 starters are gone from the BCS title team. You can’t take anything away from a coach who goes undefeated through the SEC and wins a national championship, but we’re about to find out how good Gene Chizik really is. Expect the Tigers to run the ball a lot with Michael Dyer, but he won’t be enough.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Nov. 19, Kentucky
Coach Joker Phillips said, “I expect us to be in the title race longer than we have been.” I’m not sure what that means. Five minutes? But Georgia can’t laugh too much. This used to be one of those automatic wins, but not anymore. The Dogs are only 3-2 in the past five meetings, and there have been way too many chaotic moments against Big Blue.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
Nov. 26, at Georgia Tech
Since Tech upset Georgia and ripped off pieces of the Sanford Stadium hedges in Paul Johnson’s first season, the Dogs have won the past two meetings. The Jackets probably won’t be as bad this season as some forecast. But it’s difficult to know how far along Tevin Washington and/or Synjyn Days will be at quarterback, and we can be fairly certain Murray will be very good for Georgia.
Prediction: Bulldogs win.
No. 5 Boise State has been outscored 121-40 in its past three games against SEC teams: Georgia (48-13 in 2005), South Carolina (41-14 in 2002) and Arkansas (32-13 in 2001). I like the Broncos anyway.

SEC West

I can’t believe Mark thinks Georgia beats Miss. State. Lets take a look at his logic- “winning in Athens is something they’ve done only twice (1914 and 1956, with Georgia winning nine straight at home since).”. Yeah and ?? And what do games in decades ago have to do with a game in 2011? Or with the price of tea in China?
Dan Mullen Has MSU clicking and if not 4 losses- all to top 15 sec west teams AU, Ark, AL, and LSU last year MSU would have gone unbeaten in the east. This is a very good team that just happens to be overshadowed by even greater teams in the west.
Expect the real bulldogs from Starkville to lay a beatdown on the paper bulldogs from Athens.

I think Richt will have to go 11-1, 7-1 and win te SEC East to keep the boosters and alums happy. He can ONLY lose at UT in a close game, not the beatdowns of the last few trips to Knoxville.
Lose to Boise in the red jammies in your home state, in prime time? unacceptable
Lose to USC at home, again, with the division in the balance? unacceptable
Lose to UF, again, with a new coach and give said coach a signature win? unacceptable
Lose to Auburn, at home, with all the people they lost? unacceptable
Lose to Tech, under any circumstances? unacceptable.
It’s a defining season for Georgia. Schedule breaks well, and they should be favored in every game after Boise should they win that one. Three losses equals an underachieving season.

I think we can afford going 9-3, if a win includes Florida, and SC. But that’s the problem, if we beat FL and SC that means we would have lost to someone we have no business losing to (Kentucky, GT, Ole Miss, etc). My prediction is 10-2 losing to Coastal Carolina and New Mexico State.

Georgia finished 6-7 last season, that guarantees them to lose every game this season by at least 30 points. They can’t play football. They went 6-7 last season for crying out loud! Surely they can’t turn it around this season. You just can’t. Nobody has ever had a down season before and rebound the next season. SC has always been a team to be reckoned with, GT has beaten UGA at least once. Get my drift? UGA should not even play the games this season since they went 6-7 last season.

For goodness sakes folks, “loose” is not the same word as “lose” and “dominate” is not the same as “dominant”. Here’s an example of how to use both words properly, “Dominant teams seldom lose games.” If you don’t know the difference, you sure don’t need to be commenting on a public web site devoted to sports!!!

Snoop Dawg’s heart says Dawgs go undefeated this year with the easiest schedule in history.
Snoop Dawg’s head, however, says Dawgs go 5-7 this year with more of the same in the areas of incompetent coaching, lack of focus, and lack of discipline.
This is most likely Richt’s last year in the SEC…

5-7? Boise, USC, MSU, UT, UF, Auburn, and Tech? I don’t think Richt would even make it to the Tech game at that point, but if he did, that certainly would make it The Pink Slip Bowl.

UGA beats Fla. so bad they dismantle their football program. Their fans throw away all of their gator regalia and send Will and Charlie packing. The entire Fla. team tries to transfer to UGA and are rejected. UGA finishes the season undefeated after the NC game is called at half-time because the other team would not come out of the locker room. Entire team(including scout team) makes all-america squad. Mark Richt is fired because fans wanted more.

A quote from an espn article this weekend:
“We’re here, as usual, to help. Overrated? That’s Georgia, a team that welcomes back just 12 starters from a 6-7 team that lost at Colorado last season yet is somehow ranked 19th in the AP poll. ”
I tend to agree. I see UGA going 8-4 at the very best and more then likely 7-5. Although worse then that wouldn’t surprise me either. All of you dreamers who think a 6-7 team can lose most of their offensive firepower and come back and be 9-3 are delusional.

@……Just gonna say it……
You said….”UF slipped by Ohio, barely beat USF, and got spanked by MSU, Al, FSU, LSU, and had to hang on to beat Tennessee. However they did beat Georgia as they annually do.”
Actually,
1. UF beat a 10 win Miami of Ohio team (not Ohio U) 34-12 despite 7 snaps over the QB’s head during the game.
2. UF “barely beat” an 8 win USF team 38-14, the same team that beat the Canes of Miami during the regular season and then beat Clemson in a bowl game
3. UF got totally “spanked” by MSU by the total runaway score of 10 to 7….a real spanking….more like an exhibit of total offensive stupidity by then Florida OC, coach Adazzio during the game.
4. LSU totally “spanked” Florida by the lopsided score of 33-29 by scoring late and then stopping a last second drive by Florida, with Florida’s punter missing a potential game winning FG because the FG kicker was injured (which didn’t happen in the Georgia game).
5. And Florida had to “hang on” to beat Tennessee by the closest of scores……31-17….even though Florida totally dominated the game in every facet of the game.
But…..you somewhat correct.
Bama did spank Florida, as did FSU…….and Florida did beat Georgia.
Next time……do some research before posting your opinions and not facts……….and yes, just like most preseason polls and all the talking heads at ESPN, I did say and think Florida would do well last year….as well as Brantley. But I didn’t count on Meyer not doing much coaching last year and Addazio taking Florida’s offense back into the 1960s. Fortunately, Meyer realized he had lost his desire to continue coaching at this time……and Addazio is better suited running that 1960s offense up at Temple as their head coach….and the Gators now have a highly motivated head coach and perhaps the best offensive mind in football calling plays in Gainesville.
P.S……..not a nice day to be on a Florida beach…..very hot, very windy.

Stay Classy Georgia! Is it team rules for a player to contact the opposing coach and taunt him? It should be a rule for the whole team to do that then. Boise fans get ready for a some of the worst behaviour you’ll ever see at a football game or anywhere for that matter. Can’t wait to see the dejected doggies after the game. The pups will want to blame everyone but themselves for the loss then they’ll start the “fire Richt mantra” again. Go Gators!!!

If you are a Florida fan and do not like what is said on these blogs by UGA fans why do you consistently come back? Tampa Gator must be a 50-60 year old Gator fan who remembers what it was like pre 1990 and all the pain he felt at getting owned by UGA. Now thank goodness for the internet he now has a place to act like a tool and vent all those years of frustration out. This is the only logical conclusion I can come up with, because why would you troll a blog every day of an opponent you have beaten 18 out 21 times unless you have a deep routed memory of how it felt back in the day when we where your Yankees to your Pedro Martinez. Befuddling to say the least, as if UGA fans give two cents what your thoughts are or any other none UGA supporter of how you think our season will go.

Tampa Gator is an idiot. Just for your information, UGA moved their 5 star safety to L.B. so he would be closer to the line of scrimmage, and he is already preseason all-sec. Your guy has played 2 years and he is finally preseason all conference pick. So that tells you all you need to know about who is the better player. And the 2 corners you talked about for Fl. haven’t made a big play yet. Riggs was a freshman last year, and didn’t make any big plays, and the other guy nobody has ever heard of him. As for your allworld freshman that you think can cover anyone, he was behind the best cover corner in the country that UGA signed, who happens to be playing some wide receiver, and Swann was the #3 corner in the country, so dont think your guy is better than either of UGA’s freshman. But that is the way most fl. fans always think. As for your all world 5 star d.l. Neither one of them did anything last year, and UGA has a 5 star D.E. that had to play noseguard last year, that will be a force at his natural position now. Also, Geathers is a 350 lb. nose that Florida has no one on campus that can block especially your pathetic center. You had better hope one of the Pouncey boys comes back to play, because that will be a mismatch. As for your all world tackles, i would take Abry Jones and Tyson anyday against these guys. As for your great linebackers, Jarvis Jones was one guy that Meyer died to get, but he went to USC, now he is a force at UGA, he is better than anyone FL has on it’s roster, if you don’t believe me ask old Urban.Both O.L’s are lacking depth, but UGA has 3 starter that are seniors that will play on Sundays. Don’t think FL. has but maybe one O.L that you can say the same thing about. If you don’t believe me, check out Mel Kipper’s #1 senior O.L, and you might find out it is Cordy Glenn. Also, Jones the center is on the Remmington list of best O.L,and Bean Anderson is a 340 lb. mauler at the other tackle. Good luck with comparing your bunch of O.L’s with UGA’s. But neither team has any depth, so if someone gets hurt. Both teams will be in trouble. So i noticed you didn’t compare the tightend position, and can’t say i blame you, because that is a mismatch. Florida has no one to compare to Charles, or Aaron White, and throw in Jay Rome and it is a total mismatch. As far as w.r’s, neither team has a big time play maker, and this guy you keep talking about Dunbar, never heard of him, and probably never will. He will never be better than our 5 star freshman Mitchell. So go wish all you want about dunbar. LOL!! Then we come down to Q.B, and you are hanging your hat on Charlie Weiss, that is funny. He might be a good O.C., but there is and old saying you might want to get accustomed to hearing, you can’t make chicken soup out of chicken shit. And that is what you have a q.b., while we have the best freshman Q.B. in the country returning who also is all-sec preseason. So your analysis is pretty pathetic, have another drink of that orange cool-aid. Even you with your baked brain should understand this.

My truthfulness leaves much to be desired? Tech fans do disagree with factual information I did forget that.

What tradition does UGA have? Student/ATHLETES that can’t read or write before college and after college? A degree that specializes in working the deep fryer? Is it the lazy dog on a pack of ice? Oh yeah, it’s the shrubbery on the field. Got to have tradition! GO RAY GOFF!
