How and when did the CFA Bowl people get to be involved in the Bobby Dodd Award? That doesn't strike me as traditionally the case.
"The Dodd Trophy was established in 1976 to honor the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division 1A) head football coach
whose program represents the highest ideals on and off the field. The award honors the coach of a
team which enjoys a successful football season, while also
stressing the importance of academic excellence and character, as did Coach Dodd’s teams during his 22 years as head football coach of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets."
UGA and Richt in consideration this year . . . sounds about right.
