The Georgia Bulldogs just completed a historic run through the SEC tournament by going from worst to first in four days. I would venture to say this is one of the most memorable runs ever due to all the circumstances revolving around this Championship specifically. Georgia won three games in less than 35 hours and four games overall against Mississippi, Kentucky, Mississippi St. and Arkansas to win the SEC Championship. The reason Georgia had to win three games within 35 hours was due to an EF 2 tornado that hit downtown Atlanta (tornados very very rarely hit major downtown cities) Friday evening and suspended Georgia’s game that evening leading to two games on Saturday. The rest of the tournament also was moved to Georgia Tech’s coliseum due to the damage suffered by the Georgia Dome.

Take all these components along with the fact that head coach Dennis Felton of Georgia was on the hot seat to say the least and the Bulldogs pulled off a monumental run to win the SEC. Georgia gained a #14 seed in the West and will play #3 Xavier in the first round.

Georgia and Virginia Tech both have very stingy defenses in this heavyweight title. Virginia Tech leads the country in scoring defense allowing 9.3 points per game and the Bulldogs have the ninth best total defense in teh country. I don’t think this is a good matchup for Georgia since they have struggled offensively this year and has a freshman quarterba ck in Matthew Stafford. starting in the Peach Bowl. That’s generally not a good recipe for facing the best total defense in the country. Virginia Tech should win this game by at least a touchdown.
