Week 1 College Football Showdowns: Which Underdogs Could Shock the Nation?
Georgia, No. 1 in our TRACR rankings and No. 1 in defensive TRACR (D-TRACR) entering the season, has an embarrassment of riches. Figuring out a weakness for the Dawgs is hard.

Here’s something to keep track of, though: While UGA returns four of five starting offensive linemen, the one replacement is at center. The Dawgs lost first-team All-American Sedrick Van Pran to the NFL, and his replacement, redshirt junior Jared Wilson, will not get a honeymoon period.
In Wilson’s first start, he’ll be face-to-face with dominant Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods. Last year, Woods’ 32.7% run disruption rate was by far the highest mark of any regular defensive lineman on either of these teams. If you want a hint of how good Georgia’s offense can be this year, keep track of how Wilson, the lone newbie on UGA’s line, does against the best defensive tackle he’ll face all season.
