Georgia is in great position to make a deep run in the 2021 college football season. Returning tons of star power on both sides of the ball, the only real question mark lies in the secondary, where UGA loses a lot of experience.
Almost all preseason rankings have Georgia as a top-five team entering 2021, but I’m yet to see anywhere have the Dawgs at No. 1.
It looks like we’ll have to wait (and hope) for SEC Network college football analyst Cole Cubelic to release his preseason top-25, in which he just might have Georgia sitting at No. 1.
“Coach Monken can go through his entire offseason knowing who his guy is and exactly what that offense is going to look like,” Cubelic on the Paul Finebaum show.

“Paul, I might have Georgia as my No. 1 team in college football heading into the season and I’m not sure there’s another team in that is going to be close to them in the east.”
"Paul I might have Georgia as my #1 team in college football heading into the season…not sure there's going to be a team even able to compete with them in the SEC East."

Georgia’s offense, though inconsistent throughout a majority of the 2020 season, is in great shape to be one of the nation’s best groups in 2021. And that’s in large part thanks to the return of quarterback JT Daniels, who did not receive an opportunity to line up under center for the Dawgs until the latter part of 2020.
But once he got his chance, everything changed. Georgia’s group of stud receivers started having great games, due to the ball actually being thrown to them rather than near them.
The Bulldogs’ running game also opened up and Zamir White looked like the superstar that he is.
Expect more of the same this season. Georgia returns a number of star receivers, an impressive stable of ball carriers and plenty of talent on the offensive line.
