Fine by me, now that we've beaten them.

Yeah LSU being this bad is a surprise as they have some talent. But up until opening night we all expected UGA to be pretty good. Florida will even out by the end of the year when they start getting their whole rotation back. UK is a cut above everyone. It will take a huge effort to beat them. Their defense is amazing. They are so long that their guards aren't afraid of getting beat and play way up on opponents wings. I realize their competition hasn't been fantastic yet, but they did play KU. In 5 games they have 49 blocks and 43 steals. That's amazing.

I think UGA is a solid team - borderline NCAA. GT just was better that night. Gregory has a good game plan against them - it hasn't really changed in 4 years. He simply pounds them inside and then goes inside-out. UGA is susceptible to teams that can consistently score inside - there are not many teams in the SEC that can do that.

Didn't see this mentioned yet, but since both teams are future opponents (Miami & Charlotte), I thought throw it out there. It was mentioned in one of the other threads that Charlotte might be a trap game for us, but the verdict was out until they faced Miami. Miami faced them in Charleston, SC in the championship game of the Gilden Charleston Classic. The Canes drilled them 77-58.
Oddly enough, the two teams were already scheduled to face each other tonight, but this time, the game will be held on the 49ers home court. It's not often that an ACC team will come and play on their place, and the Vegas line reflects it (Charlotte + 6.5). Personally, I think that the Canes get the W, but it wouldn't surprise me to see it come down to the wire.

Would be crazy if Tyndall doesn't survive this. Cuonzo is sitting back just a' laughing.

Miami wins by 3. Charlotte is a different team at home.
They'll still be a good test. If we are comfortably beating teams like this in December, we will be on the right track.

Your point remains, but FSU beat the Citadel 66-55.

The next few weeks are coming into focus as far as our opponents are concerned. We need to know about us. I hope the team is ready to play in Orlando.

The SEC has KY, but nobody else stands out right now. Arkansas and Ole Miss might be OK. uga is on the edge. Everyone else looks average. Or worse.
Yeah, UF will probably end up being solid too as usual.

I am still unsure about Florida and put them in the "average" group. But, you are right that they could be solid. The home loss to Miami doesn't look as bad in retrospect.

Walker should be back, but their problem is injuries to Carter & Finney-Smith. Florida should be fine over time and will probably sneak up on some people, but they seem to have a bit of bad luck to open the season.
UNC getting all it can handle from Butler in Atlantis.
I'll probably get slammed for this but I just am never impressed with Roy coached teams. Absent a wide talent advantage they don't win. They always struggle to execute anything consistently.
