Coach Kirby Smart and his staff have some decisions to make at quarterback, linebacker and along both lines, but Georgia is talented enough to win the SEC East in 2016. The key is whether a lot of inexperienced talent at key positions performs as it needs to.
Georgia has won 10 games in four of the past five seasons and has averaged a bit more than 10 wins per season this century. But a paucity of titles – the Bulldogs have played in just three SEC championship games since 2003 and haven’t won the league since ’05 – led to a coaching change.
