Dawg Sports, a Georgia Bulldogs community

According to SB Nation's latest bracket projection, yesterday's outcome in the Georgia Dome changed the fortunes of both contestants, as Alabama worked its way up to a play-in game against Richmond and Georgia dropped down to a play-in game against St. Mary's. The winner of the latter contest is projected to head to Chicago to face five seed Arizona. Interestingly enough, Georgia is scheduled to play St. Mary's in baseball tomorrow. Go 'Dawgs!

Someone with more time and math skills than I possess sat down and figured out that the Fox Hounds have a 49.7 per cent likelihood of finishing fourth in the East, an 82.2 per cent likelihood of finishing either third or fourth in the East, and only a 15.4 per cent likelihood of finishing fifth in the East. While a second-place finish (and an accompanying first-round bye) would be nice, there's only a 2.4 per cent chance of that happening. The important thing is to finish either third or fourth in the division, thereby earning a first-round date with one or the other of the two sets of terrible Tigers languishing at the bottom of the SEC West. The chances of that are looking pretty good. Go 'Dawgs!

The Fox Hounds are "in good shape" without being In Good Shape. No, literally, that's what it says. Just go read it, will you? Go 'Dawgs!

I know I'm new to this whole "paying attention to college basketball" thing, but this is going to be the first year in which every NCAA Tournament game is televised? For crying out loud, every two-bit bowl game pitting MAC and Conference USA also-rans has been televised on ESPN for the last 20 years, and they're only now getting around to televising the entire NCAA Tournament? You have to be kidding me! Go 'Dawgs!

The Hoop Dogs are in the "work to do" category, but, for now, at least, they're in the dance. Go 'Dawgs!

Mark Fox's Bulldogs are 1-1 against two of the league's three "locks," and the Hoop Hounds are 2-3 against teams in the top 50. Go 'Dawgs!

The NCAA is considering inviting 96 teams to the Big Dance. Whether you think the optimal number of invitees to a Division I-A college football playoff is six, eight, or ten, brace yourself, because it won't be that small for long. Give it a few years, and the "There are too many bowls!" crowd will be complaining (correctly) that there are too many playoff games. Get ready for the New York Giants of college football . . . and be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. Go 'Dawgs!
