3. Uga X, the Bulldog

If you can’t beat them, hire them away. That’s the motto that the SEC has been using (unsuccessfully) against Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide for a decade. Scores of Saban’s former coordinators have found work across the league but the pupil’s haven’t been able to overcome the master quite yet.

Uga X was introduced in 2015 when Georgia defeated Georgia Southern. Uga X has never lost to Alabama. He’s undefeated. You know how many people (or animals) can say that? Not many.

His team trounced the Volunteers in Knoxville earlier this season, shutting out the Vols by am embarrassing final score of 41-0. He’s man’s best friend and just the kind of guy you’d want on your side if things started to get dire.

Play calling would have to get creative. One woof is pass, two woofs means run. Three woofs mean’s fetch? Tennessee isn’t playing in a bowl game this year so they’d have plenty of time to figure out the details. I’m sure Uga X is well trained. They’d also probably better start carting in a good supply of chew toys to the Neyland Stadium.
