Southeastern 16's Jay Greeson and Chris Lee unpack the matter of whether Georgia should be the national title favorite. Topics include: Kirby Smart has his team peaking at the right time--and is there any coach you'd trust more in the postseason than Kirby Smart? Just one team managed to beat Georgia during the regular season--Alabama--and Georgia just smashed the Crimson Tide in the Southeastern Conference title match two weeks ago. The Bulldogs entered the season very talented, but also very young. Peaking at season's end was a very predictable trajectory. Listen to Kirby Smart's interview with David Pollack on the “See Ball, Get Ball” podcast this week. You can hear the confidence and the faith in the work ethic. The Bulldogs showed up in big circumstances: a September win at Tennessee, a win in a rivalry game at Auburn, a home defeat of Ole Miss, a neutral-site win over Florida in a rivalry game on a day the Gators showed up to play, a dominant performance at Mississippi State, a 25-point demolition of Texas and a defeat of Georgia Tech in a rivalry game. Nate Frazier has been running well, Gunner Stockton makes timely plays and the defense is peaking at the same time. Is there a dominant team anywhere? On the other hand, many of those wins weren't dominant performances and on the whole. Some elements of Georgia's season (a per-play edge of just 5.8 yards to 4.9, a turnover margin of zero) were merely good and not national-title level. Where are the superstars? After all that, how do we see the Bulldogs? (HINT: The answers may be in things we haven't mentioned above!)

The Florida Gators face major changes as DJ Lagway and top players exit via the transfer portal, but does their revamped NIL approach position them as a sleeper for new elite talent? The quarterback search intensified with Buster Faulkner's arrival as OC, sparking speculation around Portal targets like Colton Joseph, Aaron Philo, and Kenny Minchey. Strategic roster shifts and key departures—including Hayden Hansen at tight end and questions around Jaden Baugh's future—leave fans wondering how Florida can rebuild depth at offensive line, safety, and defensive line.Brian Smith and Brandon Olsen break down the implications of Florida's portal activity, roster priorities, and the long-term game plan. Will the Gators' aggressive transfer strategy and coaching changes turn the tide for the 2026 season, or will impatient fans demand results before high school recruits mature? Can Faulkner's offense attract standout QBs and weapons, or will lingering issues in the trenches hold UF back from an eight-win turnaround?Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it's time to make it official.
