I'm going to lead today's blog off with a fascinating note about the team many people are projecting as the preseason No. 1 team. The nugget comes courtesy of Tony Barnhart about how challenging the 2008 schedule could be for the Georgia Bulldogs, who will play eight games against teams whose coach has won some kind of national championship.
In SEC play: at South Carolina (Sept. 13), Alabama (Sept. 27), Tennessee (Oct. 11), at LSU (Oct. 25), Florida in Jacksonville (Nov. 1). And out of conference: The Bulldogs play at Dennis Erickson and Arizona State on Sept. 20. If you go to the lower divisions, there are two more coaches who have won national titles. The Bulldogs host Georgia Southern in the opener (Aug. 30) and Eagles coach Chris Hatcher won a Division II national championship in 2004 at Valdosta State. Paul Johnson, the new head coach at Georgia Tech (Nov. 29), won two Division I-AA national championships at Georgia Southern in 1999 and 2000.
