Greg McElroy cites Georgia as college football team with highest floor
Summary

Greg McElroy, a former Alabama quarterback and ESPN analyst, considers Georgia to have the highest floor in college football for the 2026 season. He ranks the Bulldogs No. 6 in his top 10 teams, suggesting their success will hinge on young wide receivers stepping up following the departure of six of their top seven pass-catchers. McElroy emphasizes the unpredictability of Georgia's offensive ceiling, which he believes relies on the development of its rookie wide receivers. The Bulldogs added one transfer receiver and will need inexperienced players to perform well alongside London Humphreys as they prepare for the upcoming season.
