For the thousands of Dawg lovers out there perusing this site for keen preseason analysis of the Dawgs, search no more. Rivals has a great write-up here.

What strikes me is that the reason they don’t rank the Dogs #1 is the strength of schedule. Their logic is that there is no way the Dogs can be undefeated, so they can’t rank them #1. What? Huh? Did I miss something? I thought the idea of being #1 was that you were the best. So… if Southern California goes undefeated by playing a cream puff (comparatively) schedule, does that make them better than the Dogs who might lose one or two against the toughest teams in the land?

This is why we need a playoff in college football. Otherwise, the “best” is up to the whims and the fancies of a bunch of sportswriters – who obviously failed logic while getting their journalism or english degrees.

Go Dogs!

I’m sure that out of the thousands of readers of this blog there are few people who don’t remember the first time for some big first events.  You know what I am talking about.  How about your first kiss?  Or maybe the first time you drove a car without mom or dad?  Maybe your first night away from home at college.  Point is, there is a first time for most everything – and Bulldawgy wants to officially acknowledge this first as something special.

For the first time in the history of college football (or at least the coaches poll, the Georgia Bulldogs are ranked as a preseason #1.  If you want to read some more about it, and I am sure that you do, you can get some keen insight here.

Don’t get me wrong.  Normally – I only recommend the USA Today for wrapping fish, lining a puppy’s cage, or for use as kindling for a campfire.  But in this case, since they sponsor the coaches poll – I am making an exception.

Saturday, August 30th, is just 29 short days away.  Be excited, Dawg Fans! 

On the eve of the Sugar Bowl, I ask you – did you know that you can’t spell sugar without UGA? Now that is one from the days of parachute pants, bands named for dogs from Oz, and ninth grade Geometry. I go back… and I digress.

Since Pdiddy has graciously extended the hand of fellowship to me and my family – I will be at his house, pulling for the PAC-10 team during the Rose Bowl tomorrow – and will be unable to give my grand prognostication prior to game time. So, here is the Bulldawgy take on the Sugar Bowl.

UGA 45
Hawaii 31

Oh, and sometime on Wednesday – June Jones resigns from Hawaii and takes the head coaching job at SMU.

Go Dawgs!
