UGA No. 22 in preseason composite poll; new media guides hot off the press
HOOVER, Ala. — Starting the barrage of notes from SEC media days:
- Among the first installments in the mountain of paperwork that will be distributed here during the next three days: a national composite Top 25 based on seven preseason magazines.
Georgia, I thought you’d want to know, is tied for 22nd.
The Bulldogs’ highest ranking among the seven publications came from Athlon (No. 15) and their lowest from Sporting News and Blue Ribbon College Football Yearbook (uranked in both).
Alabama is No. 1 in the composite poll, with Ohio State, Boise State, Florida and Oklahoma completing the top five in that order. Other SEC teams: Arkansas No. 18, LSU No. 20, Auburn No. 21. Georgia is tied with Penn State for No. 22.
Georgia Tech? No. 19.
- Georgia is distributing a new batch of media guides hot off the press — the reprinted version with references to the former athletic director removed.
Damon Evans‘ bio has been replaced with one of Frank Crumley, the interim AD.
Some 14,000 guides were reprinted at a cost of approximately $50,000.
- Please check back throughout the afternoon for much more from media days. And please follow @ajcuga on Twitter for updates.

Yeah I understand why all of you dawg fans want to be ranked low preseason. Gosh when your ranked number 1 you stink. Maybe you guys should wish to be ranked last I am sure that if were the case you’d win a national championship. Right?

#22 is better than #1 which only leads to unrealistic expectations and disappointment

FORTY ONE POINTS to your seventeen points- Once again a Tech fan posing as a Florida fan since they can not back up the fact that UGA has beaten Tech 8 of the last 9 years. Also UGA was ranked 11th not #1 when they played. Just look at it this way. If Stafford doesn’t throw a pick 6 or Richard Samuel doesn’t fumble the kick off its probably a blow out.

Gator that preseason # 1 didn’t cause the 15-16 season injuries that year..what really blew is we were ranked No.1 after ending 07 as clearly the best team in the country but never got to prove it. When like the Gators have done before and Bama has done this year they are ranked No.1 after winning the NC that is fitting and right..being No.1 ranked for any other reason is just putting a bulls eye on your back for nothing. I never want to be pre-season no.1 again until the start of the season after we win the NC I think anyone that does is misguided and I hope not driving.

41 – 17,
I would rather get beat by any score than have my QB run up and down the field like a lunatic and painting is eyeblack with bible references like some sort over overgrown moronic 5 year old.

Pulpwood…..we were 64 early in the summer. The polls are now ranking unsupervised player workouts during this time. We have had good sessions and that one Thur last month, we lit it up in the weight room. Thus we are now 22nd. Couple more good weight room session and we could crack the top 10.

Why do some idiots continue to recite UGA’s SEC East record the last four years like that is the only part of the record that counts. The last tme I checked we try to win all the games every year, not just the SEC East games the last four years. You simpletons cannot expect anyone to consider anything you say seriously, can you?

No way UF finishes in the top 5 with their schedule and no way UGA is two deep at every position on offense and finishes out of the top 10. We may not even throw a pass till the Florida game.

Its a shame to see somebody like Boise State even ranked, they should be Division 2 with they’re schedule. Just hoping Virginia Tech can beat them and be through with them.

mutt lifer – wrong again! UGA leads the series against The Gators 46–39–2 and they also lead my Jackets by a wide margin 60-39-5. So this means The Dawgs historically own both teams. Facts suck don’t they?

The Dawgs better play with one big collective chip on their shoulders this year, or I will lose all respect for them. They need to be clear that it is time to man up and serve up the crow.

Techies are completely obsessed with laying out in the UGA blogs ………. I went to a Tech blog about once in the past 5 years , because ……. well , still don’t remember why, musta been a mistake. There was simply no point in going there ………
