01 OVERALL OUTLOOK A preseason snapshot of where Georgia sits before a snap has been taken, built from SP+ and FPI ratings (predictive estimates of scoring margin against a typical FBS opponent) and returning predicted-points-added (the share of last year’s production that is back on the roster). Key figures: 0–0. SP+ 26.4 (4th nationally). FPI 24.84 (5th). SP offense 38.7 (1st) and SP defense 12.9 (1st). Special teams 0.6. Returning PPA 68.7 percent, with 99.7 percent of passing PPA and 99.3 percent of rushing PPA back against only 34.7 percent of receiving PPA. Projected remaining wins: 9.2, with one game unprojected. 1 Georgia is a top-five program that has not yet proven a single thing about 2026, which is the most dangerous kind of favorite. The ratings treat this roster as a finished product — an offense priced like a national outlier and a defense priced the same — but the returning-production split tells a nastier story. Almost the entire passing and rushing PPA ledger is back, and almost none of the receiving ledger is. That is how a team can look like a playoff lock in July and still spend August hunting for someone who will catch the ball. The first scrimmage already advertised the problem: drops, an errant snap with the starting center held out, and a defense that treated the afternoon like a live tackling drill. Preseason SP does not grade dropped passes. Three things will decide whether 9.2 projected wins becomes a playoff résumé or a December alibi. First, whether Mike Bobo can manufacture explosives from a receiver room that lost the bulk of last year’s production and is already being threatened with a drop count. Second, whether Nate Frazier, Chauncey Bowens, and a speed back with 243 career rushing yards can replace Dante Dowdell, who is not with the team after an ATV accident and has no return timetable. Third, whether the November road pair — Alabama in Tuscaloosa (62.8 percent win probability) and Ole Miss in Oxford (69.8) — plus Oklahoma at home (76.4) stay on the right side of the ledger. 1 The ratings say Georgia is favored in every projected game. That is how you go 10–2 and still spend bowl season explaining which one you were supposed to lose. 02 VISUAL ANALYTICS Generated directly from the CollegeFootballData feeds for this matchup. The same visuals appear on every report, so numbers can be compared like-for- like from one game to the next. SEASON RESULTS · Scoring margin for every completed game. Wins are in the team's color, losses in the contrast color, so blowouts and near-misses are separable at a glance. EFFICIENCY PROFILE · Every advanced metric converted to a national percentile against all FBS teams, so the outer ring is always better regardless of which way the raw stat runs.

WEEK OPPONENT H/A RESULT SCORE No games have been completed. Georgia is 0–0 as of August 16, and no recap data was available. 1 Remaining games WEEK OPPONENT SITE PROJECTED MARGIN WIN PROBABILITY 1 Tennessee State home — — 2 Western Kentucky home +34.1 99.4% 3 Arkansas away +18.2 91.1% 4 Oklahoma home +9.7 76.4% 5 Vanderbilt home +18.6 91.6% 6 Alabama away +4.4 62.8% 7 Auburn home +16.3 88.6% 9 Florida neutral +11.2 79.7% 10 Ole Miss away +7.0 69.8% 11 Missouri home +14.2 85.4% 12 South Carolina away +11.1 79.5% 13 Georgia Tech home +23.0 95.6% The Road Ahead chart is the same picture in bars: every projected game sits above zero, which means the ratings do not give Georgia a single expected loss. Tennessee State has no projection at all — one of 12 remaining games is a blank — and Western Kentucky is a 34-point home formality. The first real temperature check is Arkansas in Fayetteville at +18.2 (91.1 percent), which is a road game only in the geographic sense. Then the season starts telling the truth. Oklahoma comes to Athens as an SP+ top-15 visitor at +9.7 (76.4 percent). Alabama in Tuscaloosa is the thinnest number on the board at +4.4 (62.8 percent). Ole Miss in Oxford is next at +7.0 (69.8 percent). Florida in Jacksonville sits at +11.2 (79.7 percent) and South Carolina on the road at +11.1 (79.5 percent). Everything else is a double-digit home or rivalry cushion, including Georgia Tech at +23.0 to close it. 1 Projected final wins are 9.2 on a current 0–0, with 9.2 expected remaining wins and one game (Tennessee State) left unpriced. Add a near-certain TSU win in your head and the regular-season shape is a 10-win team that is allowed two losses by the math and will be called a disappointment if it takes them. The likeliest stumble is Alabama on the road — the only game under 65 percent — and the stretch that actually decides the season is Weeks 4 through 10: Oklahoma, Vanderbilt, Alabama, Auburn, the Florida neutral, then Ole Miss. Survive that corridor 5–1 and the playoff conversation is a formality. Go 4–2 and December becomes a referendum on whether a top-five preseason rating was a ranking or a dare. No graded prediction record exists on this team’s 2026 games, because none have been played. Treat every margin and probability above as a ratings estimate, not a reservation. 1 04 PRACTICE NOTES Fall-camp and first-scrimmage reporting from the second week of August: who is winning reps, who is being held out, and what the staff is actually installing. Key figures: Six practices in, one in full pads. First full scrimmage August 15. One offensive touchdown. Drew Bobo held out. Kyron Jones on a pitch count. Dante Dowdell not with the team. The first scrimmage was a defensive afternoon and an offensive warning label. Bo Walker scored the only touchdown, a catch-and- run, while Nate Frazier ripped a 30-plus-yard run and was then kept on a short leash. Chauncey Bowens was the back who actually looked like a feature piece — physical, downhill, the one winning the “known commodity” argument in real time. The rest of the day belonged to the other sideline: consistent pressure, an interception by Jontae Gilbert, and a general sense that the defense was playing a different sport. Kirby Smart told the pass catchers the team would start counting dropped passes, which is coach-speak for “we have already stopped pretending this is a timing issue.” Center was a live problem. With Drew Bobo held out, an errant snap sailed over Gunner Stockton’s head, and Cortez Smith took first-team reps next to Malachi Toliver. That is not how a championship offensive line introduces itself in mid-August. 15 16 The install is trying to outrun the personnel losses. Mike Bobo, six practices into camp, is already calling more shots downfield and manufacturing scramble rules in practice because Zachariah Branch is gone and the offense has not yet found a new identity to replace him. Stockton, a 14-game starter a year ago, has looked like the grown-up in the quarterback room, but Ryan Puglisi and Ryan Montgomery have taken first-team snaps, which is either competition or a staff that is not ready to name anything yet. Behind Frazier and Bowens, Smart has already said the other backs have to step up. Dwight Phillips Jr. is the explosive name — Smart’s words, not a brochure — but he has 243 career rushing yards and one reception last season, for a loss. Jae Lamar and Nick Peal are being asked to inherit Cash Jones’s third-down job. The conditioning is the usual Georgia sadism: 80-pound weight vests, extra lifts, a heat index over 100, Scott Sinclair handing out extra runs like parking tickets. Kyron Jones, the starting safety a year ago, is not in Georgia Bulldogs · 2026 · Team Report Page 4 of 7

that full-contact soup. He is on a pitch count, doing non-impact conditioning, and sitting behind Rasean Dinkins. 9 17 18 19 7 05 ROSTER NEWS Non-injury movement only: the verified transfer portal, then anything the last two weeks added on depth charts, starters, eligibility, or position changes. Transfer portal (verified): Incoming — Amaris Williams, EDGE, Auburn, 4-star (0.94); Isiah Canion, WR, Georgia Tech, 4-star (0.94); Bryson Beaver, QB, Oregon, 4-star (0.91); Dante Dowdell, RB, Kentucky, 4-star (0.90); Gentry Williams, CB, Oklahoma, 3-star (0.87); Ja'Marley Riddle, S, East Carolina, 3-star (0.87); TyQuez Richardson, OT, Alabama A&M, 3-star (0.87); Khalil Barnes, S, Clemson, 3-star (0.87); Braylon Conley, CB, USC, 3-star (0.86). Outgoing — Dominick Kelly, CB, Ohio State, 4-star (0.90); Elo Modozie, EDGE, Purdue, 4-star (0.90); Daniel Harris, CB, California, 3- star (0.88); Joenel Aguero, S, Ole Miss, 3-star (0.88); Bo Hughley, OT, Colorado, 3-star (0.88); Jordan Thomas, DL, South Carolina, 3- star (0.87); Kris Jones, LB, Boston College, 3-star (0.87); Ondre Evans, CB, NC State, 3-star (0.87); Jamal Meriweather, OT, Miami, 3- star (0.86); Rod Robinson II, RB, UAB, 3-star (0.86); Kelton Smith Jr., IOL, Georgia State, 3-star (0.86); Pearce Spurlin III, TE, Colorado State, 3-star (0.86); Adrian Maddox, S, Kansas State, 3-star (0.86); Jaden Harris, S, Kansas, 3-star (0.85); Maurice Gleaton Jr., WR, Arkansas, 3-star; Nyier Daniels, OT, no destination listed, 4-star. Nine in, sixteen out. That is not a reload so much as a controlled burn. The incoming class has real names — Canion is the receiver the staff keeps pointing at, Beaver is a four-star quarterback from Oregon, Dowdell was supposed to be the power complement in the backfield — but the outgoing list is a secondary graveyard. Three corners and four safeties left, including a four-star corner to Ohio State. Two offensive tackles and an interior lineman walked. The edge room swapped a four-star out (Modozie to Purdue) for a four-star in (Williams from Auburn), which would be tidy if Williams had not already torn an ACL. Portal math only works when the new players can practice. Dowdell cannot. Williams cannot. Canion can, and he is being asked to replace a room that lost four of last year’s top five pass catchers. That is a lot of hope hanging on one Tech transfer and a collection of three-star defensive backs who have not yet played a snap in Athens. Researched news: No data was available. 06 INJURY REPORT Medical items only, with status as reported. Live web research and the stored injury feed are kept separate; they do not always agree on position or availability. Key figures: One running back out indefinitely. One defensive lineman out for the year (ACL). Multiple starters on pitch counts or load management heading into Week 1. Live web research: Kyron Jones (safety) remains on a pitch count and is not taking a full practice day’s reps after a foot injury and a spring setback; he is behind Rasean Dinkins. 7 Dante Dowdell (running back) is improving but still away from the team with no return timetable after an ATV accident; football is secondary to recovery. 6 Gabe Harris (edge, toe surgery) and Drew Bobo (offensive line, Lisfranc) missed spring and are being load-managed, with Smart expecting both to be ready for the season opener; Harris is “out there doing everything now.” 3 Justice Fitzpatrick (linebacker) is six or seven months removed from ACL surgery and is not expected to be fully cleared in camp. 3 Zayden Walker (inside linebacker) is fully healthy after a spring shoulder injury; Raylen Wilson (inside linebacker) is fully healthy after a spring knee issue. 3 Injury feed: Kyron Jones, safety, limited (pitch count). Justice Fitzpatrick, CB, out (knee/ACL). Jordan Hall (DL), Carter Luckie (DL), and Zayden Walker (LB), recovering. Ja'Marley Riddle, safety, recovering from surgery. Gabe Harris, DE, limited (toe). Drew Bobo, C/OL, limited (foot). Dante Dowdell, RB, out indefinitely. Amaris Williams, DL, out (ACL, spring). Zayden Walker and Raylen Wilson listed healthy in a separate August 5 item; Harris and Bobo listed load-managed and expected ready for the opener. 2 The medical picture is not a crisis so much as a series of expensive absences stacked on top of each other. Dowdell is the one that actually changes the offense: a four-star transfer back who was supposed to give this room a grown-man down-to-down runner, now a recovery story with no calendar attached. Amaris Williams is the one that changes the defensive line, and it is the cruelest kind of portal transaction — land the Auburn edge in January, lose him to a spring ACL, write the season off before the first meeting. Fitzpatrick’s designation does not even agree with itself across sources (linebacker in one, corner in the other), which is a useful reminder that freshman ACL timelines are fog until someone actually practices. Bobo and Harris are the ones the staff is trying to will onto the field in Week 1, and the first scrimmage already showed what happens when Bobo is not there: the snap goes into the cheap seats. Jones is healthy enough to be talked about and not healthy enough to take the job back from Dinkins. Walker and Wilson being full-go is the one piece of good news in the front seven, and it is the kind of good news a staff mentions when it would rather not keep talking about the rest of the list. 07 WHAT THE MEDIA IS SAYING National and local framing of a 0–0 team: preseason rankings, camp chatter, betting markets, and the usual August mythology. Georgia Bulldogs · 2026 · Team Report Page 5 of 7
Page 6
Key figures: Consensus top-five, most outlets at No. 3 or No. 4. CBS Sports’ Shehan Jeyarajah has them as a playoff semifinalist. Camp opened August 5. The national media has already decided what this team is, which is always the funniest week of the year in Athens. Georgia is a locked top-five pick in the AP and Coaches polls, a projected College Football Playoff semifinalist, and a program that opened camp with Kirby Smart talking physicality and offensive-line depth like a man who has given this speech before. 30 28 One national frame still has Carson Beck as the returning quarterback and a Manning Award watch-list name, which does not match the camp reporting out of Athens, where Gunner Stockton is the 14-game starter taking the bulk of the conversation. 34 28 That split is the whole preseason in miniature: the brand is undefeated, the depth chart is still being argued in pads. DawgNation’s first-scrimmage account — defense forcing four turnovers and stacking sacks, Smart praising communication and aggression, the offense looking inconsistent — is the local version of the same story the ratings will not admit yet. 29 Isaiah Delph working with the first-team defensive line is the one camp riser the beat is willing to put a name on. 32 The betting market is living in a different universe than the published schedule. Action Network had a Georgia–Clemson opener at Mercedes-Benz Stadium sitting near a pick’em as of August 15, with slight lean to Georgia, which tells you more about how the public prices this brand than it does about who is actually on Week 1’s itinerary. 31 The rest of the coverage is institutional housekeeping dressed up as news: a Peach Bowl partnership for a 2027 neutral-site game against an unnamed SEC opponent, a contract extension for defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann, Trevor Etienne cleared to practice after an eligibility scare and still limited in contact. 33 37 35 None of that changes September. What the media is actually saying, once you strip out the watch lists and the future scheduling, is that this team is a top-five assumption with an offense that has already looked sloppy in front of its own coaches. High preseason rank is not a compliment in this league. It is a bill. 08 WHAT THE COACHES ARE SAYING Direct comments from Kirby Smart and Mike Bobo, from fall-camp availabilities and SEC Media Days, attributed to who said them and when. Key figures: Bobo’s camp session August 12. Smart on the running backs August 12. Smart on Kyron Jones August 9. SEC Media Days podium July 21. Bobo spent August 12 sounding like a coordinator who knows exactly what he lost and is not going to pretend the install will cover it. Speaking before the first scrimmage, he said Stockton is more experienced after starting 14 games last season, that the staff is still searching for an offensive identity after heavy production walked, and that Zachariah Branch — “one of the most explosive players on the team, perhaps more so in practice than in games” — has to get touches. He also noted the team had played only six practices, one in full pads, and that he is deliberately calling more shots downfield and creating scramble situations so the offense learns to push the ball. 40 9 That is not a coordinator talking himself into a scheme. That is a coordinator admitting the scheme does not yet have a face. Smart, the same week, was blunter about the backfield. Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens are “the known commodities.” Dowdell is not with the team. “Those other guys have got to step up, got to be ready to play.” He called Dwight Phillips one of the most explosive players on the offense and, because he is Kirby Smart, reminded everyone that championships are still won by running the football. 17 On August 9 he put a finer point on the secondary: Jones is not ready for a full workload. “It’s not that he’s not 100% healthy, but he’s not taking 100% of a normal practice day’s reps.” 7 The Media Days version of Smart, from July 21, was the political one, and it is worth hearing because it is the speech he will be held to if this offense stalls. He defended Bobo as the right offensive coordinator, said he evaluates from the inside out the way he learned from Nick Saban, and acknowledged the receiver math out loud: four of last year’s top five pass catchers are gone, Isiah Canion arrived from Georgia Tech, and the room still needs answers. 41 He said Stockton “basically tells us the truth, which is that once you’re out on the field, it doesn’t matter how much someone makes,” and noted the offensive line had already lost two starters to the NFL. 42 Put the July podium next to the August practice quotes and the through-line is not confidence. It is a head coach who has publicly chained himself to his coordinator, a coordinator who is still looking for an identity in week two of camp, and a roster that is being asked to replace production with explosiveness it has not yet shown when the pads are on. Smart wants to talk football. The football is currently asking him more questions than he has answers. SOURCES 1. College Football Data API (CollegeFootballData) https://collegefootballdata.com 2.
