As we roll along toward spring practice, the annual preseason top 25 guesses are popping up all over the web. The latest is from Sporting News
 
 
The publication pegs Georgia at number three:
 
 
“3. Georgia Bulldogs
 
The Bulldogs were one of the big winners at the NFL Draft entry deadline last year. The defending SEC champions now have holes to fill, but the offense can build around sophomore Jake Fromm.
