Can UGA go undefeated?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Plenty of pollsters have Georgia No. 1 on their college football ballots heading into the fall. But can the Bulldogs stay there from start to finish? Five experts weigh in:
Matt Hayes, Sporting News. Short answer: No. But does it really matter? Considering an SEC team has made it to the national title game the past two years with at least one loss, why can’t the Dogs make it three in a row?
Bret Bloomquist, AP Top 25 voter/El Paso (Texas) Times. Sure, Georgia can go undefeated, though that’s never the way to bet for any SEC team. At LSU and at Auburn obviously stand out as the roadblocks.
Dick Bestwick, Harris poll voter. I felt Georgia had the quality and quantity of personnel to beat everyone in 2007 and feel even more certain about that this year. With this schedule, the most difficult schedule I’ve seen in my 60-plus years of watching this business, winning all 13 games would be a feat of uncommon occurrence.
Dennis Dodd, CBS Sportsline. Preseason No. 1? Yes, by a smidge and subject to change before Aug. 30. Undefeated? Noooo way. This is Georgia, which lost two games last season and looks pretty good next season, not Oklahoma of the ’50s.
Scott Howard, Bulldog Radio Network. This schedule is like a minefield and I just think it is too difficult to expect the Dogs to go undefeated. But I’ll love it if they do.
