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.

I think I’d put Tech a little higher than 19. I think in the 20s is about right for Georgia.
I think at the end of the year Georgia will be higher and Tech will be lower, but it’s such a crapshoot in July.

Richt needs to get this thing turned around – Donnan’s last 4 year SEC East record was 12-6 …HMMMMMMMM
Richt made good moves to change up his staff – let’s hope this translate to some success. Another couple of 4 and 5 loss seasons = HC coaching change.
My prediction is that he will get it done ….. and wish him the best of luck!!!

IF this doesn’t show the bias of the AJC sports journalists (Schultz and Tucker are the worst with Roberson third). Tech comes in ahead of UGA but read the headline!!! Many simply read the headlines and thus Tech getting higher recognition will never be noticed by many. Now I know why so many of us quit buying the paper…even the Sunday paper sold currently on many street corners. Just sick of the bias.

22/64/1/15… it doesn’t matter. What matters is winning football games. We will be 1-0 when we face SC. I don’t expect Grantham to show much defensively before the SC game. UL Lafayette will give our D just enough test to allow us to unload on SC. We should go into the Arkansas game 2-0. Offensively, Murray will be in the groove and the backs will be rolling. It’s not where the Dawgs start in the polls, it’s where they finish. I expect us to be in the Top 15 by season’s end.

The rankings matter late in the season. Usually, around mid November or December, we will all have a real good handle on the so called Top 20 or 25. Today or in early October? They still do not matter.
Honestly, none beyond top 10 status is worth anything, anyway. Take Tech last year, i mean they won their lil boy conference and they ended up what? 13th or 14th or was it 17th. See?
Top 10 status is what matters. Today’s Top 10 matters as much as how many electoral votes that Obama got in the last election. What matters is what happens in his NEXT November election. See?
What matters is where your team goes on NY’s day. Did they win or lose? Then and only then do the rnakings matter. If your club is Top 10 then they are good. Top 18 or top 23 or top 123 matters not.
Pass the mustard and pickles.

GTax,
I agree with Frank. UGA will finish ahead of GT. UGA, despite re-fueling on defense, has arguably the best offensive line in the country, best kicking game in the country and the best WR in the country. Our RBs ran for more yards in the last 3 games than any other team in the SEC. Plus, in head to head, UGA owns GT.
Also, this Arkansas at 18 business is a joke. A returning stud QB for sure + some good folks to throw to, but there is little reason to think the defense has improved much–which was abysmal last year, finishing dead last in the SEC.

The good thing about this is” If UGA or any SEC team can get into the NCS, and Ohio State can somehow win their annual patsy schedule, then it’s looking good. It’s the same every year. No matter how bad Ohio State gets beat in the big game, they put them right back up there the next year. Oklahoma = same thing. And if USC wasn’t on quadruple maxi-probation, they would be right up there also. And I’m sure if Notre Dame can win at least half of their games, they’ll be right back up there next year.

Kevin- You act like the University is God’s gift to the green earth with the way you’ve been talking. Sure, 8 out of the last 9. New coach, new decade, new history. UGA managed to beat a poorly coached Chan Gailey squad for 7 out of those 8 years. Paul Johnson and his high school offense has rattled off almost 900 yards of offense combined in the past 2 years, which isn’t too shabby. The defense is only going to get better for Tech (it certainly can’t get any worse). Enjoy watching the Bulldogs top 25 ranking, because once you get to Arkansas, it only gets worse from there.

The great thing about this blog is that Techsters are always on here talking about how UGA fans never understand things. I don’t think GT understands that they’ve been owned or (PWNED as they would say) for the last decade. Also I don’t think that they understand that when you point that out they want to become the biggest Gator backer in the land. I don’t think they understand how pathetic that makes them look.

For the record, I do not mind trash talking, but you must admit it is silly to talk trash to a team that had punished you 8 of the last 9 years. I do not go on UF blogs talking trash, b/c they have owned UGA for years.

Kevin,
Head to head, UGA has done well against GT this decade. However, 2008 and 2009 (despite the loss to UGA) GT is a much better football team nationally since Paul Johnson has arrived. GT was top 10 for a majority of the year last year while UGA was unranked, and even though GT lost in the OB, we still finished top 15 while UGA won their bowl game they remained unranked.
Sure in state you have bragging rights, but the rest of the country see’s GT as ACC champs and a credible top 10 team, and they see UGA as an unranked Shreveport team until proven otherwise.
The only reason I can begin to think of you taking a bet against GT to finish above the dawgs is due to your red colored glasses.
UGA may have playmakers on offense, but defense is a HUGE question mark, given your DC is a HUGE question mark himself. Nobody knows anything about this guy, and he was UGA’s last resort after being turned down by Foster and Smart. As well as UGA having a new starting QB in the SEC is never a good bet. Why do you think BoBo is talking about a wild dawg offense to get Green the ball? Could it be that he has doubts about Murrays ability to do that? Green was there last year but the only problem was Cox couldn’t get him the ball. WR’s are useless without a good QB. UGA won’t be able to run the ball the whole time either, their offense isn’t built for that like GT’s.

You do realize the dawgs were unranked last year right? And GT was a top 10 team right? And played in a BCS right? Nobody out of the state of Georgia cares who won our little game.

A Shreveport team? Get serious. We are one of the 5 winningest programs in the country the last 10 years. We had 1 off year in 10 years. You have had 1 good year in 10. 1 year bad or good is not a trend, no matter how much you want to speculate about GT being on the up and UGA being on the down.
Your team simply has done nothing, on any level, to earn bragging rights over UGA. Over the last decade in head to head competition, bowl games, conference titles, conference title games played, overall record, and year end rankings, we own you.
I am not blind and realize UGA has to answer some questions on defense. That said, unlike GT, UGA can recruit and is loaded with 4 star recruits. We have depth and with adequate coaching, we will be just fine. And from all accounts, Grantham’s has the defense playing well.
Aaron Murray was the #3 college football recruit in the entire country. What makes you think he will not perform. He will be fine. Also, with an experience O-line and playmakers everywhere, he will not have to do to much.
I love the part when you say, “UGA won’t be able to run the ball the whole time either, their offense isn’t built for that like GT’s.” Funny, seeing as how we ran all over you last year including a 90+ yard drive without a single pass. Though, you are right, unlike Tech, we can pass too.

Luke, I have alot of respect for Paul Johnson, but for you to come on a UGA blog bragging is a little silly. Are you aware that Johnson’s overall bowl record is 4 and 7. That includes 2 losses and no victories at Tech. He’s done a good job as far a throwing an offense at teams that is definately different. Not sure how effective it is when a team has the time to prepare for it. Not sure if future NFL players benefit from his system. But, he is a good coach. And, if you look at what Richt has done for the UGA program, I don’t see how anyone can really be critical. Even during his worst year, we still had a winning year.

It’s how we end the season that matters..never could understand why anyone gives a rats behind what your “ranked” before the first snap of the season..seems like the higher your ranked the more it works against you. That being said I really think UGA will end the season higher ranked than they start it.

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.

Laughing at many of the blogs! Sure UGA had a good run several years ago when UF, Bama, UT, and even LSU & Auburn were down but what have they done since 2006? Well let’s see…only team ever to be ranked and lose to Vandy! Get ripped at home to Bama! Can’t beat UF while showing sportsmanship! Lose to both UT and UK when both are below average teams! UGA is only relevant within Georgia, which is a shame considering all the talent they land yearly. Have they ever won a national title? I am almost 30 years old and a football fanatic! They certainly have done nothing in my lifetime other than beat Hawaii! Oh what a resume! LOL

Delbert D…You need to recheck your info! Tech left because the SEC was going to impose scholly reductions. Back then Tech was a powerhouse team and recruited huge numbers. Dodd was mad at Bryant and used this topic as a powerplay move. He lost! Only UGA sided with Tech and in a panty twist Tech left SEC.
Delbert D.
July 21st, 2010
7:13 pm
SECRules – Recheck your facts. Alabama’s and Mississippi’s votes swung the decision. Dodd withdrew Georgia Tech from the SEC immediately after the votes were counted. Bryant had agreed to support Dodd’s position, but he was a no-show. His substitute voted against Dodd’s position. Georgia did support Dodd and Georgia Tech. It was big news back then; were you around? I was.
The issue was scholarship limitations. Alabama and Mississippi were the most prominent schools oversigning scholarship players and then cutting down to the limit during summer practice. Dodd strongly disagreed with this practice.
As support for my statements, consider this:
“Again, as we have stated many, many time here, oversigning is not a violation of the NCAA rules, it is an ethical issue and those that exploit the loophole are not conducting themselves within the spirit and ethics of the recruiting by-laws. This is a perfect example as to why you cannot write by-laws and proposals with the assumption that everyone is going to act accordingly, because they are not. And with regards to oversigning, we’re not talking about one or two coaches exploiting the spirit and ethics of the by-laws for signing players, we are talking about the entire history of an entire conference, minus Vanderbilt and Georgia. Oversigning has been a systemic problem in the SEC since the creation of the conference, just ask Georgia Tech fans about oversigning.”
The quoted paragraph is from oversigning.com.
What are your facts to support your statements?

HOUDAWG. PLEASE shut up, you are embarassing any intelligent UGA fans here!!!
You are aware that that IOWA team is picked to win this years National Championship by several of the major polls aren’t you? And you are aware of our coaches dismal losing record against ranked teams aren’t you?? It’s easy to have a “winning” season when you play the biggest cream-puff schedule in the NCAA!!! Nationally, we will never be taken seriously if we keep playing these kinds of schedules. Where are the good out-of-conference games? Richt schedules us against Sister Mary’s school for wayward girls and calls it a tough game! Dooley would have never put up with this crap. Under (want-to-be) Saint Mark we are a mere shadow of what we once were. I travel all over the nation as part of my business and I can tell you, there is VERY little respect for our current program or coaching staff at the National level at the moment. Concensus is that we are living on past glory and it may be a while ’til our star rises again. As long as “Bama and Florida are strong, and we play wimpy schedules (sorry folks, the SEC doesn’ t impress anyone anymore with the exception of UA and UF — the rest of the conference is mediocre at best).
And while I detest the Yellow Jackets, I must admit they are impressing people and getting some attention on the national level. And as much as I hate to say it, they have become a very formidable opponent since CPJ arrived. IF they ever develop a defense they will be tough to handle because, while a few of us HAVE beaten them since the coaching change, no one has been able to “shut down” that offense or blow them out, even with the pathetic defense they’ve had the last few years.We will still stomp the Jackets this season, but I am not too confident about how we will fare for the next several years afterward. Stars rise and they fall. Ours is currently on the decline, with no end to the skid in sight under our current coaching staff. On the bright side though, there are a LOT of VERY good coaches who would LOVE to fill that position, and who would restore us to our rightful place in the NCAAF world. Now if someone could just lure Saban away to an NFL HC job……………….
