On The Making of a Championship Season

Tuesday August 12, 2008

Last year UGA had a somewhat rocky start, with a loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks. That shouldn’t happen this year, since there are far tougher opponents we’ll be facing in one of the toughest seasons Georgia has had in a while with the inclusion of Arizona State in our schedule.

One thing I’m immensely excited about is our #1 pre-season ranking. Sure, USC and Ohio are still up there, despite the fact that their schedule isn’t nearly as strong as ours, but I’ll let that slide this year. Why no vitriolic response to the continued fawning over teams whose ranking I find rather dubious? We’re number one. The University of Georgia football team has a pre-season ranking of #1. I’m sure you, the reader, have the cognitive wherewithal to understand the simple point I’m trying to make. I’ll leave it at that . . . for now.
