Week one of the 2017 college football season is in the books and we’ve learned a lot about Georgia football’s future opponents.

Georgia and all of their foes of 2017 played this past weekend. We saw some things that should be expected from here on out. There are some teams that we still do not know much about. Other surprised us for good or bad reasons.

Vanderbilt is one such team that performed pretty much how they were expected to. But Tennessee, Georgia Tech and Florida all either exceeded, or fell painfully short of expectations.

Here are a few things that I noticed from most of Georgia’s opponents in their games this past weekend. I’m leaving out Notre Dame because those observations will present themselves in a preview later this week.
