UGA Football: Georgia Picked to Win the SEC East and SEC Championship

SEC Media Days are behind us, summer workouts are coming to an end, and fall camp is about to begin. It will be time for college football in 36 days and 43 days until Georgia’s first game! That is when it’s time to put up or shut up. In the meantime Tennessee fans will still think their high-powered offense will somehow vault them over the Dawgs, South Carolina fans will sing the praises of Shane Beamer and scream that this is the year they put a trophy on their empty shelf, Florida fans are hoping for a record over .500, and Alabama fans will continue to pretend like not having a quarterback doesn’t matter.

The new King of the Mountain in the SEC, the Georgia Bulldogs, have been picked to win the SEC East for the sixth time in seven years. Georgia is also the pick to win the SEC Championship for the second year in a row. Kirby Smart and company received 265 out of 291 votes to win the SEC East. The Dawgs also had 181 points in the conference-wide poll, while Alabama finished second with 62 points.

The order behind Georgia’s 2,011 points in the east was: Tennessee (1,682); South Carolina (1,254); Kentucky (1,204); Florida (911); Missouri (658); and Vanderbilt (428). After Georgia’s 265 first-place votes for the East division came Tennessee with 14, Vanderbilt with 8, South Carolina with 3, and Kentucky with 1 vote.

The Crimson Tide earned 1,899 votes in the west, followed by LSU (1,838); Texas A&M (1,144); Ole Miss (1,128); Arkansas (958); Auburn (685); and Mississippi State (496).

UGA Football: Kirby Smart Gave An Injury Update on Eight Players at SEC Media Days

BRANSON ROBINSON and SMAEL MONDON:

“When you say ready for fall practice, they will not be full go. I don’t know how long it will be, but they will not be full go for practice one,” Smart said. “They will be able to run. What we call dry land running is the next stage, so they’ll be dry land running, but they won’t be full go at practice. We’re going to go through a little bit slower of a ramp up process with both of them. They’ve both been dealing with significant injuries. We’re hopeful to get them back, but I don’t know when that will be in terms of full speed.”

KENDAL MILTON and MIKELL WILLIAMS

“Yeah, Kendall’s full health,” Smart said. “Mykel has been — he will be full go by fall camp. He is not full go currently, but he’s had a great rehab, work in progress. I mean, I’ve gotten to see him run some during the agility stuff we get to go view. He’s not back completely yet, but he’s ahead of the other two you mentioned (Branson and Smael).”
