Georgia was dominant last season, finishing 13-1 and blowing out Florida State in the Orange Bowl. This season, they return quarterback Carson Beck and a stack of high-level recruiting from the past three years.
In other words, they’re the clear No. 1.

After a mediocre season and a disastrous ending in the Pinstripe Bowl, I can’t complain much as a Miami Hurricanes fan with us having the No. 19 ranking. I’m assuming that’s because of the potential of what could happen with quarterback Cam Ward.
It’s definitely got me excited for the new season, I just hope to God the hype is real. If so, we might be talking about an opportunity for a natty. Go Canes!
