CFB Expert Predicts Undefeated Season for UGA
Expectations and title hopes are something that Georgia Football fans have grown rather accustomed to. "This is the year" is something that has been uttered by fans around the program seemingly every year since 1980. And year after year that illustrious national title has evaded the Bulldogs.
However, 2021 could be that year. Or so it's shaping up to be. Georgia enters the fall football calendar expecting to push for championship excellence this season. And it's not just the Georgia fan base expecting a deep run into the College Football Playoff . National media members and college football experts have the same belief.
That includes CBSSports.com's Barrett Sallee, who has picked the Georgia Bulldogs to run the table and go undefeated through the regular season:
"This is the year for Georgia. No, seriously, this is it. The Bulldogs are loaded on defense, have one of the best quarterbacks in the country, a loaded backfield and one of the best top-to-bottom rosters in the entire sport. Plus, they draw Arkansas as their rotating cross-division game and don't exactly have a daunting road schedule. The experience should get them past Clemson in the opener."
Georgia is currently a 3.5-point underdog to the Clemson Tigers in the season opener, but it is the experience that Sallee believes will bring the Bulldogs the victory in Charlotte on Sept. 4. That's something we can agree on here, considering the experience advantages Georgia maintains at the most pivotal position: quarterback.
Sallee has Georgia running the table, setting up for an SEC Championship showdown with whoever makes it out of the SEC West, which will be presumably Alabama. However, if Georgia remains undefeated through the regular season, it is almost assured they will be selected for the College Football Playoff no matter what happens in the conference championship game.
