1) Their schedule. They play Bama in week 3 and Auburn in week 6. They play Tennessee much later in the season. They could have 2 SEC losses before playing Florida and could have 3 before playing Tennessee.
2) There is a weird cultural problem in Athens. They had numerous players get arrested all last offseason, they have the Zach Evans situation, they have 5* players transferring to rivals, they have marginal guys departing for the NFL draft.
3) They have a decimated offense. They lose 8 of 11 starters, four o-line starters, the QB, top 2 RB’s, so they’re basically starting brand new in an offense that was already very bad.
4) Florida and Tennessee are improving.
Combine these together and I think someone not named Georgia wins the East in 2020.
