Year 2 under Kirby Smart brings improvement and mystery at Georgia

Here's the thing:

We think Georgia should be really good this year. Maybe not really good, but SEC East champion good.

Soon, a large contingent of media will likely pick the Bulldogs, who return 10 starters from a pretty solid defense and have a young superstar in the making at quarterback, to win an SEC East that's still a mess.

You have the Nick Saban clone in Kirby Smart entering his second year as head coach after signing the nation's No. 3 recruiting class.

Honestly, we (that's media and your average consumer of college football) keep wanting to believe that when Georgia should win the division it should, well, win the division.
