Surprise Teams

[Xaos]

What are your good and bad surprise teams?

 

Good : Georgia. UGA this year is similiar to Alabama the year they went undefeated and lost the SEC Championship to Florida on defense, and on offense similiar to South Carolina this year. Georgia got the big nose tackle they needed, and will improve the defense to a Top 3 unit in the SEC, if not Top 5 in the country. Ray Drew is going to be a stud pass rusher, and the secondary is solid. The only weak spot on defense is inside linebacker, but Ogletree and Robinson are above average players. Boykin is one of the best corners in the SEC, and Branden Smith isn't bad either . Overall, the defense should be one of the best now that we have that nose. On offense, we have the line in place. We have one of the most experienced and best lines in the SEC, probably the best. We have THE best QB in the SEC, and he's only a redshirt sophomore. I think he's a Top 5 QB in the NCAA. We have the best TE in the SEC, maybe even the nation in Orston Charles. We have 2 good backs, Ealey and King, and we have the #1 HB Recruit in Crowell coming in, and he should make an impact. Our only "trouble area" is receivier, but if you disregard who was on the team last year, this group is average-above average. We have the best K\P combo in the nation, bar none. COmbine all that with a coach that's on the hot seat who needs to win the East, and win it now, and you have a team that will jump out at folks.

 

Bad : I was gonna say South Carolina, but I don't want to turn this into an all-sec discussion, so i'm going to say Boise State. They lose ALOT of talent they have gathered through the years, and don't bring in a high ranking recruiting class. They play a tough schedule this year, and they start play in the mountain west, facing more than one tough opponent this year. I believe Boise will go around 8-4, 9-3. They're going to start the season off losing to Georgia, and that'd already be a bad season for them. By normal standards, Boise is going to be beaten down.
