USA Today Top 25 Coaches' Poll

It is official; the University of Georgia Bulldogs is preseason #1 in the USA Today Top 25 Coaches’ Poll! As a fan, I hope the Bulldogs realize there can be a blessing, challenge, and curse associated with this ranking. It’s a blessing because it puts the Dawgs on the fast track, assuming they win their games, to the national title. It creates a challenge because now they have a target on the back of their jerseys because now every opponent will want to be the team that spoils their national title aspirations. It can be a curse if the Bulldogs think this ranking entitles them to a national title and they fail to prepare for each game. I really hope the preseason ranking will be a blessing and my Dawgs will end the season as National Champions! Below are the rest of the preseason rankings.
