will abandon the "Bama revenge" narrative and jump on the Georgia 3peat bandwagon really quickly, whether they should or not.
Media loves 'em some offense and QB play. That's why USC got so much love last year and preseason hype this year, despite their overall team being super beatable. If any of UGA, Bama, or Ohio State had their stud QB returning this year, they would be the clear pundit favorites.
All that is missing right now is the media seeing with their own eyes the potential missing link at QB for UGA. Even if the opponents suck, they will overreact to seeing Beck throwing darts downfield for TD's to talented WR, and they will do a big 180, especially if Bama is winning "uglier" with a running QB.
What drives the media isn't football reality. It is predictable. Picking Bama pre-season is predictable. And I predict that the headline will be "UGA is unbeatable" due solely to folks watching Beck make plays against the likes of UT Martin.
