If we beat UGA do your expectations change?

Huge IF as UGA will be pissed after Kentucky debacle.

I have to think the fanbase expectations change, but I still think 9-3 is acceptable year 1.

I expected to beat them from the start.

We beat a better version last year.

I'm thinking Tennessee is going to be a nightmare for us. But the UGA game will tell us a lot about this team.

Yes, the expectations change and no, 9-3 is not acceptable. This is an elite championship level team. It's not the championship level team, but it's one of them. To say 9-3 is acceptable is to diminish this team's capabilities.

I began the season picking LSU and Georgia to win. I'm starting to back off LSU, I've still got Georgia winning though. Now Tennessee, I've got Alabama in that. Tennessee doesn't have Alabama's athletes or depth.

Georgia looks vastly overrated. I expect to win at home. At Tennessee looks like it could be a chore.

If we tackle and wrap up we will win this game. By 10 points.

Georgia didn't look good vs Kentucky, but who knows. This season has been odd so far.

Regardless, we'll have a lot of tough tests after Georgia

At this point I definitely expect us to make the playoffs, but that was my expectation prior to the season

I don’t know if I agree with that. Maybe not quite the depth but starter for starter they are alabamas equal IMo as well as is Ole Miss.

UGA doesn’t have anyone that scares me. There’s no go to guy like Bowers and no consistent deep threat. With UT it’s the offensive scheme that scares me. They are definitely a threat to connect on some deep balls. I think they beat us in a shootout.

I expect to beat everyone because we are Alabama.

Georgia is objectively worse than last year, and Bama is arguably better. If we can play clean we will win. we have better talent at the skill positions, and we are better on both lines

Uga was a better team in ATL than they are now.

BAMA is a better team than they were in ATL. Why wouldn't I think BAMA is going win?

A better question IMHO, is what if OU scores 30+ on Tenner? How beatable does that make Tenner??

Tennessee is a bigger problem to me. UGA may very well win, but they aren't as good as last year. They're worse at WR (including TE) and RB.

Bama is better at every position except corner and the coaches are doing a good job of getting lots of guys reps to help with that.
