Dawgs No. 18 in Preseason Ranking
The Georgia Bulldogs have been tabbed No. 18 in Rivals.com's pre-spring top 25 for 2009.
"The Bulldogs lost three key players early – quarterback Matthew Stafford, running back Knowshon Moreno and cornerback Asher Allen," writes the web-based college sports publication. "Still, this is a program with a lot of talent, and the three defections mean the Bulldogs might actually be under the radar a bit this fall."

Georgia, who entered the 2008 season ranked No. 1, fell short of championship expectations, but still managed a respectable No. 16 with a 10-3 record and New Years' Day bowl win over No. 18 Michigan State.
