I just noticed UGA was ranked preseason #6 again

The prognosticators do this every year, with the same result. UGA inches into the top 5, only to be exposed by a real SEC team like Florida or Alabama, then go on and lose in a 2nd rate bowl.
that is when the excuses start...
"oh, we didn't want to be there anyway" "It was a rebuilding year" "We had several guys injured" "Kirby was going through a divorce"
blah blah blah.

Kirby is good for 2 or more losses a year. He will not win a national title.

Yes but they will still be ranked in the Top 10. Amazing. No bias at all.

Based on the final results last year where should they have been? Not arguing they are a quality top 5 team but the drop off from top 3 is significant. Georgia could beat any team 4-10 while still being a long ways from that top echelon group of us, Bama, and OSU.

What was Dabo's record through 5 years at Clemson? And how many top 10 teams did the ACC have during that time?

Yeah, guys like Daquon Bowers, CJ Spiller, Darrell Scott, Jarvis Jenkins, Andre Branch, Chris Clemons, Jacoby Ford, Dwayne Allen, and Andre Ellington really stunk it up. I read where Dabo inherited something like 20 or 25 guys who got drafted into the NFL. I believe Kirby inherited 17.

You will probably try to immaturely argue that “he started it,” but he’s on a Clemson board. When he starts a thread on a Georgia board, then you might have a point. I doubt you realize how pathetic you look here.

I rarely come to this board, but your next game is against us. The few times I do come here, there are multiple threads about UGA. And I'm talking about every single time. You don't see that on UGA boards. You just don't. But every single one of those threads is the same old thing (rent free, overrated, 2nd tier bowls, yadda yadda). And every time I ask straightforward football questions, no one wants to answer. So I'll ask you tiger swimmer: where do you think UGA and Clemson should be ranked to start this season? What do you see as your team's strengths and weaknesses? What matchups do you think favor your tigers vs us? What matchups are you concerned about? Schematically, will you do anything differently on offense now that Trevor & Travis are gone? Or on defense?
A long time ago when I first came here, there was actually good football discussion. Now. no one here wants to talk football - everyone just wants to trash talk and say how everyone else is obsessed. Are you capable of actually talking football?

One of the main problems for UGA is the scouting reporters are leghumpers so they overrated players because they knew they were heavy UGA leans. Just like all the overrated Texas recruits for Longhorns, being bumped because the scouts overrate players going to their school. ND, USC, FSU, FL, Texas, and OSU recruit scouts have always overrated players going to the homers teams. SC has never had an independent state scout for recruitment sites like the big states.
Chad Simmons always over-ranked players going to UGA and under-ranked Clemson guys. He was a major factor in the TLaw and Fields swapping ranks.

So the NFL, who drafts all the Georgia guys, they in on the over-ranking too?

Clemson has 36 players on NFL rosters. UGA has 50. Which of those are mediocre?

Actually quite a few of that 50 seem to be. If you take out the guys that are ranked 4 or 5 at their position (mediocre at best) on the depth charts the list is a lot closer.

Fair enough. Does that apply only to players from UGA, Texas, Ohio State (as suggested)?

you are just a victim of numerous bad coaching hires, and it is painful to watch. Fortunately, we do not have that problem at Clemson anymore.

Who is barking about talent? I'm curious about another (the umpteenth) example of a conspiracy against Clemson. This one now involves recruiting services deliberately overrating players from other schools, apparently to do something (what exactly?) to Clemson.

Clemson needs to beat the Dawgs in the opener. A one sided, curb stomping would put Kirby on the hot seat this season.

Your coach ranked Coastal Carolina over a team that beat his guys by 3 tds. You might go easy on bowl losses.

No doubt Kirby has had some head-scratchers. But Dabo of Clemson sure stepped in it too.

for a chance to lose by three TD in the CFP as opposed to being relegated to yet another meaningless bowl game that the average college football fans couldn't care any less about seeing.

So where do you think UGA should be ranked to start this upcoming season? And where do you think we should have finished this past year? And is being exposed by a B1G team materially different from being exposed by Bama? The planets aligned for Fla last year, let's see if it continues or if things revert to Kirby's previous experience vs MuLLL*n.
But perhaps more importantly, you and most of the posters here seem to be very reluctant to have any actual football discussion. You just prefer base trash talk. It's completely different from when I first came here years ago.
What do you see as your team's strenghts and weaknesses? What matchups do you think favor your guys vs ours? What do you think you have to guard most against us doing? Schematically, what will your guys try to do on offense and defense?

I think uga is ranked highly every year because they always have a highly rated recruiting class. They also perform well in highly competitive games. And as a non-sec person the impression is if you are in the sec you must be good...whether you are or not. Witness TN’s early ranking last year. To be serious to a non-uga person they just seem to never win the big games. Maybe they will this year.

Kirby does less with more. That has been proven over and over again. The only reason you curs won the bowl game is that certain Cinncy Players did not play smart. Remember your recruit beat us. Seems Kirby can not make the hard choice that Dabo did. Maybe this fall you will actually win the east. Fla has lost all of their fire power, Tenn. is in shambles, Coots are a dumpster fire and Ky. does not know how to throw the ball worth a hoot.
