Is size all that matters in the NFL Draft? If so, two Dawgs might be of real value for NFL teams in a few weeks.

ATHENS - The College Football Playoffs begin on New Years’ Eve. After winning the CFP National Championship last season and placing a history-making fifteen players in the NFL draft, most doubted that the Georgia Bulldogs would be the favorite to win it again this year.

An expanded CFP would be more consistent with how champions are chosen in everything from pro sports to your local softball league. More teams are always given a chance to compete for a championship, besides only the few perceived to be good enough to do so.

ATHENS - With significant 2022 SEC East Division and College Football Playoff implications, it was indeed a big Saturday in Athens for Kirby Smart and the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs.

Dean Legge’s recent Thoughts: “2022 Was Never Going to be Easy for the Georgia Bulldogs,” got me thinking about expectations and the questions that are, and often are not, asked about college football teams.

Coach Kirby Smart has built the Georgia Bulldogs into not only a College Football Playoff National Champion, but a yearly contender for the title.

ATHENS - An NFL Draft expert recently ranked Georgia Bulldog LB Nolan Smith as a top five player in a look ahead to the 2023 NFL Draft. Thus far, this has not been a consensus opinion.

ATHENS - Given upcoming conference expansion and re-shuffling, and other recent changes to the college football landscape, the fate of the current College Football Playoff (CFP) is again a hot topic.

Nick Saban is universally recognized (and with good reason) as the best college football coach ever.  The GOAT can, though, be second-guessed like everyone else when warranted.

In one of Dean Legge’s recent YouTube videos, he expressed frustration with the lasting narrative by many in the media (and among some of the UGA fanbase) that the Georgia Bulldogs won games and the National Championship in 2021 despite Stetson Bennett and the offense.

ATHENS - Georgia football’s four month long, free advertising campaign started with its destruction of No. 2 Michigan in the College Football Playoff Semifinal, and continued with taking out No. 1 Alabama.

The Georgia Bulldogs are the reigning College Football National Champion. They’ve also now “won” the 2022 NFL Draft with a record fifteen players drafted - including nine selected among the first three rounds.

With UGA’s overwhelming success on the field in 2021, at the 2022 NFL Combine and what is expected in the upcoming NFL Draft, it may be time to reconsider just how good their recruiting has been.  Spoiler alert:  it has been even better than industry experts have described.
