<p>Georgia sits fifth, one spot ahead of Florida and behind number three Alabama and number four LSU.</p>
<p>I do find it interesting that two fairly highly ranked SEC teams have some shoring up to do at an important position.</p>
<blockquote>
<h3><strong>10. AUBURN (+3300)</strong></h3>
<p>Bo Nix was only the 70th-highest-graded quarterback in college football a season ago, failing to complete 57 percent of his passes or earn more than seven yards per pass attempt.</p>
<h3><strong>14. TEXAS A&amp;M (+2500)</strong></h3>
<p>Kellen Mond, while relatively highly regarded, struggled a bit last season, earning our 48th-highest passing grade and failing to eclipse seven yards per pass attempt in 2019.</p></blockquote>
<p>Some upper-tier SEC team is going to have a quarterback take the next step and that&#8217;ll likely be the team that makes the big jump this season.  The question is, which quarterback and which team?</p>
