The question is going to be asked all week, and everyone is going to have a loud opinion. Was Oregon’s dismantling at the hands of Georgia in Week 1 the result of a poorer-than-expected Oregon team or a stronger-than-expected Georgia team?

The 11th-ranked Ducks were a 16.5-point underdog against the third-ranked Bulldogs. They lost by 46.

“I thought Georgia would need a little bit to plug in some of the new players and reload a little bit,” ESPN’s Matt Barrie said on Sunday. “I don’t know if that was more (Georgia coach) Kirby Smart has just got this thing in a dominant spot or Oregon just wasn’t ready.”

He posed the question to SEC Network host Paul Finebaum, who said he thinks it’s more the former — though he didn’t pass up the opportunity to get a shot in at Oregon coach Dan Lanning for his quarterback decision.

“Who knows? I don’t mean to be cruel but I will — the last time somebody trusted Bo Nix to get it done lost his job. I mean, good for Dan Lanning,” Finebaum began. “I think people today and all week, you’re gonna start to hear them cement around the idea that maybe Georgia is really something we didn’t really think they were going to be. That’s not only a contender but maybe a superpower. They certainly looked like it yesterday. You could argue easily they’re the best team in the country.”

We’ll find out on that last point.

One thing that’s worth mentioning: Georgia has not only been able to stack dominant recruiting classes on top of each other — something Finebaum was quick to point out — but it’s also a team with a scheme and way of doing things that have been in place for years and years.

Smart has been the head coach at Georgia since 2016. The Bulldogs lost five games that year.

Lanning and his staff have been in place for less than a calendar year. Saturday was their first time together for an actual game. It’ll take time, but the disparity between the two sides was pretty evident on Saturday.
