I remember when we all used laugh at Bleacher Report, but this is a solid article.
They nailed it with UGA. See what you think about the rest of the top 10.
Georgia has one of the nation's top quarterbacks, but Jake Fromm has been somewhat limited due to the lack of an alpha wide receiver.
The way head coach Kirby Smart has recruited—both in the high school ranks and in the transfer portal—there are plenty of talented and viable options. But the Bulldogs need somebody to emerge and say, "I'm the man to go to during crunch time."
Saturday night's 23-17 win over Notre Dame at Sanford Stadium was the perfect example. Fromm threw for just 187 yards as UGA sputtered at times against a strong Irish defense that proved it can play with the elite programs.
It was an encouraging sign that Miami graduate transfer Lawrence Cager grabbed five passes for 82 yards and a touchdown. He's a guy the Dawgs could really use if he emerges. The same goes for former California receiver Demetris Robertson, who caught four passes for 48 yards against the Irish.
Neither of those players had made much noise entering the game, so posting quality numbers against a top-10 opponent is big.
Then you've got dynamic freshman receivers George Pickens and Dominick Blaylock, both of whom are capable of being game-breaking players.
Much like the youth on Alabama's defense, UGA has the talent on offense to break through. But if the Dawgs are going to be a championship-caliber team, they've got to find a go-to receiver (or two) and have some guys be more consistent performers.
That could happen soon enough with Fromm at the helm.

Every B/R Top 10 College Football Team's Biggest Weakness
Nobody's perfect. Not even the top 10 teams in Bleacher Report's Top 25 after Week 4's games concluded late Saturday night. Yes, LSU, Oklahoma and Ohio State look flawless so far, but they still have some things to clean up...
