College Football Preview: Georgia No. 1 Team in BCS

I want to start by introducing myself. I am ‘eneffell’ (NFL), and I am the author of The I-Form (be sure to visit it); secondly, I would like to thank Amy for letting me contribute to her blog.  I am here to tell you why the Georgia Bulldogs are the number one team in college football.

The main summary of Georgia’s 41-10 beating of Hawaii is sacks.  If you remember the 2008 Sugar Bowl correctly, your mind will conjure up visions of Colt Brennan on the ground with a Georgia D-Lineman standing triumphantly over him.

Georgia sacked Brennan eight times and knocked him down 20-plus times.  He couldn’t get the ball off.

Reports surfaced that Brennan now sleeps with a nightlight because he thinks Marcus Howard is in his closet or under his bed.  Howard was the first defensive player to be Sugar Bowl MVP.

Now Howard is gone, but most of the offense and defense is back.  And with a Top Five Recruiting Class, the Bulldogs are definitely a preseason Top Five Team, along with the likes of Ohio State, USC, Oklahoma, and Florida (not necessarily in that order), if not the best.

In the expert opinion of Todd McShay, Knowshon Moreno and Matt Stafford are Top Five Picks in next year's draft.  And, in my amateur opinion, I think they are both Heisman candidates for next year as well.  Both are young, and both are very good.

But, there are possible problems down the road.  Georgia does have a very tough schedule.  Combined with SEC Conference play, which is always difficult, they have to go to Arizona State to play the Sun Devils, who are also a Preseason Top 25 team.  Then, on top of that, they have road games at LSU and Auburn.

I like my Dawgs a lot this season.  The Gridiron Goddess would tell you that USC is better.  But UGA would tell you ‘Go Dawgs’

Note from Your Gridiron Goddess: eneffell is right about one thing—I do think USC is better.  But I also think the top two teams in the country are not Florida and Ohio State (the choke master 1), or Florida and LSU, or Florida and Oklahoma (the choke master 2).  The top two teams in College Football heading into the season are USC and Georgia.
