times )Dinich’s take: Even with a wide variety of NFL talent gone, this group is again going to be loaded. It starts offensively with the return of quarterback Carson Beck and his organizer, Mike Bobo. They must have among the very best offensive lines in the country to work with. Defensively, Georgia has depth at linebacker and a star in Mykel Williams, and security Malaki Starks is among the very best in the nation. With such a grueling schedule, it’s probably impractical to think Georgia is going to go undefeated, but it does not have to. It just needs to win the SEC, making it a lock for a first-round bye. Georgia is good enough to do that.
