Why is everyone discounting the huge losses Florida had on defense? I can understand dismissing Alabama's. As long as Saban is there, they will field a top 5 defense in the nation, period. Florida, however, lost a ton and doesn't get the Alabama treatment yet.
Muschamp put a good defense on the field in 2011 too. I don't follow Florida. I know they lost key guys up the middle. They lost Josh Evans and Matt Elam, but they should be stacked at cornerback. I didn't say that Florida and Alabama would improve, rather that they may be expected to improve, just like LSU.

Lol, fans can rationalize anything in the offseason. UGA lost like 85% of their tacklers from this past season from an attrocious defense. Soooo people think the new starters who couldn't beat out those guys are going to improve the aforementioned awful defense?
The key word is "atrocious". Georgia ranked 77th against the run last year. Why shouldn't they be able to improve? The 2013 defense doesn't have to look any farther than the 2011 -> 2012 transition to be motivated. Heck, Georgia's two losses should motivate Georgia's defense to be better. I can recall a few important plays that the secondary gave up against South Carolina and Alabama too.
Georgia's defense better be ready day one because they've got Clemson and South Carolina.
