Georgia comes in ranked 24th in ESPN.com’s preseason power rankings. There are six SEC teams listed in the top 25. ESPN comments on that Georgia has an overhauled defense but returns 8 starters on offense including A.J. Green.
The other SEC teams:
#1 Alabama – Can’t argue with this selection.
#5 Florida – Lots of potential here but they have to put it all together on the field.
#17 Arkansas – Has as many if not more questions than Georgia on the defensive side of the ball.
#19 LSU – Check out the brand new FanSided LSU blog Death Valley Voice.
#22 Auburn – Like Georgia they have a new QB and should be pretty explosive on offense.
I find it interesting that Georgia Tech is ranked at #16 despite losing essentially everything but Josh Nesbitt. They are going to have a hard time replacing Jonathan Dwyer and Demaryius Thomas who have moved on to the NFL.
