Kirby Smart and Georgia are positioned to compete for a National Championship despite losing their starting quarterback and running back due to their excellent recruiting. It's that same ability to dominate on the recruiting trail that has many experts claiming they will once again take down Florida.

Paul Finebaum thinks that even with Florida's armada of skill position players on offense, the Bulldogs once again have the edge in their annual rivalry game.

"That is the game of the year right now, in terms of not really knowing," Finebaum said. "I would still give Georgia an edge. I know a lot of people are ready to sell Georgia out, I am not. If you follow recruiting, they have been unbelievable. It never ends."

Not only does Georgia have more quarterbacks than they know what to do with thanks to Jamie Newman, JT Daniels, Dwan Mathis and Carson Beck, but they once again are near the very top of the list when it comes to recruiting, which should help them replace the dozen players who bolted for the pros.

Combating Kyle Trask and the ever-expanding offensive mind of Mullen will be difficult, but Georgia has the players on the field to make that happen, and Smart's expertise on the sideline should seal the deal.

Florida is an ascending program that will compete for an SEC East title, but the Bulldogs should go into the season as comprehensive favorites once again.
