>- Jeremy Fowler of the Orlando Sentinel is doing a College Football Countdown on his blog. When he got to #64 he listed the Georgia Bulldogs! What? There are only 3 possible reasons for this ranking. The first is that Jeremy is just a blithering moron (I put this at around 15%), the second is that Jeremy is trying to get back on Urban Meyer’s good side (I put this at around 25%), and the last is that Jeremy is trying to get hits on his blog and more people to read his stuff by being “controversial” (I put this at around 60%). In the article, Jeremy says “Most of the same players return from a secondary that allowed a league-high 23 touchdown passes”. What? Maybe Jeremy is a blithering moron. Georgia losses 3 out of 4 starters from last years secondary (Rashad Jones, Prince Miller and Bryan Evans). Sure, Bryan Evans shouldn’t have been starting but he was. Georgia will have 2 new starting safeties this year (Baccarri Rambo and probably Jakar “Hitman” Hamilton). The lone returning starter in the secondary for Georgia is a guy who is on the Lott Trophy Watch List. Jeremy also says “After returning 16 starters on offense and defense, the Bulldogs should be able to compensate for a new quarterback with the right pieces around him.” Huh? I thought you just ranked them #64? I could go on but let’s get to some links that have actual substance.
