Dawgs on top: Georgia ranked CFB’s most talented team in 2020
Under Kirby Smart, Georgia has become a force on the recruiting trail on an annual basis. And it can now claim that it is the best in the country in that department.
According to 247Sports.com, the Bulldogs are the No. 1 team in FBS when it comes to “Team Talent Composite,” derived from the site’s proprietary formula in rating recruits. A composite rating of .9999 is the highest a high school player can receive.
Georgia’s 2020 recruiting cycle ended with 991.53 points, the highest mark in the country. Alabama, with 985.86 points, was No. 2. Three other SEC teams finished in the top 10: Texas A&M (6th, 875.10); LSU (7th, 873.66) and Florida (8th, 871.69).
Auburn (13th), Tennessee (14th), South Carolina (21st), Mississippi State (23rd), Arkansas (26th), Kentucky (27th), Ole Miss (29th), Missouri (48th) and Vanderbilt (54th) rounded out the SEC teams on the list.
Last year, Alabama finished No. 1 in the team talent composite, with Georgia coming in at No. 3. LSU, at No. 5, was the only other SEC team in the top 10.
These comments should be fun
This is not good.
This means that every game is a chance to further solidify our reputation of losing 1 we shouldn’t every year.
@nottttttTrudawg………Well you know the media already let us know that FLORIDA wins the east this year!!! But how can the players of the most talented team that we really are. Have made so few preseason all American or ALL SEC TEAMS? Could it be the same way that Florida wins the east?
PS. Tells me the media knows the truth. But is rooting for MULLEN! Not to mention rooting for others as well. Most talented team that HAS NO TALENT!!!! MAKES SENSE LOL.

By the way. Hello fellow SDS NWO BROTHER! Or are you my NWO SISTER? Honestly I don’t know your real name. Always assumed you were a man. I assume everyone here is a man. But women like football to!
I’m expecting a tougher game than people think at Arkansas! First game and new offense. Not much practice with no spring. It could get sloppy! Both teams could get sloppy but their at home!
PS. The coach might have made them look bad last year. They have some talent!

You’re kidding right?
Have you seen UGA’s roster?
It’s pretty stacked to be completely honest.
Yeah exactly
To bad UF gonna beat em…ooopps
Are they though?
Similar to Bud Elliott’s Blue Chip Ratio for 2020:
Alabama 83%
Georgia 82%
Ohio St 80%
Texas 64%
LSU 63%
Oklahoma 63%
Clemson 63%
Florida 63%
Michigan 59%
Auburn 59%
Penn St 59%
Notre Dame 56%
Washington 54%
Southern Cal 50%
Texas A&M 50%
These percentages are all a bit high. Are you dividing by 85?
Lol.
Bud Elliott is. Based off the 85-man scholarship roster, as I understand his calcs.
And Bama, OSU and UGA were all 3 around 80% last year. Since Kirby cranked up recruiting in 2017, 3-stars are rare in his classes. Out of 110 signees the past 4 years, only 19 were 3 stars (247 rankings). That’s 83% 4- and 5-stars.
So does that mean they have to come up with a different excuse when they lose to Bama?
Troll
Did I hurt your feelings? Remember just ignore it…
Nah didn’t hurt my feelings. Just calling a spade a spade.
So was I… That’s one of the numerous excuses given by UGA fans as to why they lost to Bama.. It was that Bama had more talent.. If that’s not the case now what will your excuse be?
It sure is easy to get under your skin… If you weren’t a UGA fan the UGA trolls would run your sensitive a&$ off of SDS..
Lol you sound upset. But yeah I’m the sensitive one.
Sure you’re upset.. If someone says anything that isn’t positive about UGA you post your defense of UGA in some way..
You tell others they only post because they’re envious, jealous or a troll… Truth is most are just tired of the bull$hit from UGA fans.
I posted it to bother UGA fans… It worked. Now take my post an repeat it over and over and you’ll get other fans perspective of UGA trolls..
I’ll make sure I troll a few more UGA articles for you since you obviously can’t ignore it..
I would expect nothing less. You’re a troll. Just like the UGA fans you are talking about.
If you think what I’m doing is anything close to what they’re doing you haven’t been around SDS very long…
Enjoy though.. No fanbase on SDS deserves it more..
No I haven’t been here long. They’re really obnoxious. I get it. But I’m not about to lower myself to their level. I’m going to be me.
I counted the 5 stars on both Alabama and UGA! Alabama has something like 11 or 12. UGA has 16 officially! But another another 10 or more were 5 stars who got demoted under strange circumstances. So I’m not buying Bud Elliott’s blue chip ratio!!!!

@BamaTime…….If you mean that first meeting. That would be perfectly excusable. Considering all the new things we’re having to install!!! New QB, New offense and OC with no spring. But if y’all get to Atlanta. We will see you in Atlanta!
How does it feel knowing that Nick Saban and Alabama haven’t won a legit national championship since Kirby Smart left? Knowing that in the so-called revenge year Auburn beats you knocking you out of the playoffs!!! AUBURN!!!!
Who you getting revenge against this year? Is it LSU, AUBURN OR CLEMSON? It’s always a revenge year since Kirby left! It used to be REVENGE GAMES! Once every blue moon under Kirby Smart. Now it’s a REVENGE YEAR EVERY YEAR!!!!! AND IF WE BEAT YOU IN THAT FIRST ONE, JUST GIVE UP!!!! LOL
When will Alabama privilege end? I mean they have UGA’ s national title trophy in their trophy case all bought and paid for! And every year they get worse! Yet their always the media doll. Then they have the nerve to claim it’s Alabama against the world. THE REFS ARE PART OF THE WORLD. ALONG WITH THE MEDIA!
PS. ITS UGA VS THE WORLD IF ANYONE!!! HERE’S TO KEEPING THE REFS OFF OF THE ALABAMA PAYROLL THIS SEASON!!!!
King Negan
There is the excuses… Get them in before the game.
@BamaTime…Alabama went from being THE GOLD STANDARD OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL UNDER KIRBY SMART. To being the team with THE MOST EXCUSES!!! You are really hypocritical talking about excuses!
You have an excuse every year now. And sorry but I don’t recognize the 2017/18 national championship. That belongs to UGA!
When Nick swims alone he always sinks! Even with all that talent. It’s a good thing the REFS were for sale in 2017. Otherwise it’s been even longer!!! Saban tries to pay the REFS every time he plays an x coach. So he can act like the master he is not! If you have zero morals anyone can be a winner! ANY OPEN-MINDED FANS WHO WISH TO KNOW THE TRUTH. GO LOOKUP SABANS CAREER AT MICHIGAN STATE AND WITH THE MIAMI DOLPHINS. YOU’LL SEE THE ONLY TIME HE STARTED WINNING WAS WHEN HE BEGAN COACHING WITH KIRBY SMART AT LSU!!! Then when he was stupid enough to again try to swim alone not needing Kirby to coach the defense in 2007. Alabama barely made it to 6-6 losing to Louisiana Monroe in Tuscaloosa! Then he got smart again literally. And hired Kirby Smart to coach his lifeless defense. And in just one season Alabama goes from barely 6-6 to UNBEATEN UNDER KIRBY SMART IN REGULAR SEASON! THEN CAME THE FIRST OF MANY CHAMPIONSHIPS UNDER KIRBY!
Alabama hasn’t won a legit national championship since Kirby Smart left and that is a fact. Now even Scott Cochran is at UGA! Saban had to go out and hire 2 guys to do the job Scott Cochran did alone!!! We’ll see if it matters!!! But the SEC WEST is down this year! THE SEC EAST IS THE STRONGEST!!!!
Personally #6 is way to high to be ranking LSU! And that was before those opt outs!!! THEY LOST TOO MUCH TALENT! BUT BELIEVE ME I’M ROOTING FOR LSU! I HOPE THEY BEAT FLORIDA AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM BEAT ALABAMA!!! But for now they shouldn’t be a top 15 team in my book!!!!
PS. Someday soon people even in Alabama will acknowledge who the real DYNASTY MAKER was and is!!!
King Negan
So many tears and excuses from 1980U…
negan you are a joke. Who cares if you don’t recognize Bama’s last NC. The trophy is here in Tuscaloosa. 26-23 chump. #2nd&26.
The 5 star 5 deep that struggles to beat lowly Arky. What comes to mind is less with more and recruiting national champs
Lol I’d be more concerned that Florida can’t tackle
You would and that shows how little you know. Bad tacking in your first game of the season can easily be cleaned up. Struggling on offense to beat a terrible team and not having a QB not so much
Hogs 26th in the country, but way behind in the SEC. Man, this league is ridiculous.
Gotta bring your A game every week. Arkansas is definitely making improvements from last season. I hope Pitman all the best. He’s a good coach
All that talent and UGA’s play against very good teams reminds me of Xerxes(Kirby’s) talented warriors being crushed in a gap(run oriented,avoid passing),like at the battle of Thermopylae, negating their advantage into futility. Will this be the year they conquer sparta? No, not unless UGA has a Leonidas(a dynamic passing offense)
This analogy is weird but I get what you’re saying. I think Kirby has built a great foundation but it’s time to take that final step. Kirby made some mistakes that I hope he’s grown from and bringing in Monken shows he’s trying to up the passing game and elevate the offense. I’m not saying he has to do it this year but the building stage is over. It’s time to start winning championships.
The most talented team in the planet that can’t find a QB
