I don't get why Michigan and Georgia fans are always fighting on here. We both took the mantle of the best program in our conferences over the past 3 years. Georgia prevented Ohio State from winning a natty in 2022. Our fanbases should be getting along.
Georgia hasn’t lost a regular season game since November 7th, 2020, 4 days after the 2020 presidential election. They’ve gone nearly the entire Biden administration without a regular season loss. People don’t realize how insane that is.

The 2021 Georgia Bulldogs had
Travon Walker
Jordan Davis
Quay Walker
Devonte Wyatt
Lewis Cine
Jalen Carter
Nolan Smith
Broderick Jones
Brock Bowers
All will be 1st round picks. 9 players at a minimum. One of the most talented college football teams ever.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that 2024 could be the best Georgia team of the Kirby Smart era.

-Most returning production since 2017.

Dan Lanning was to Kirby Smart what Kirby Smart was to Nick Saban. He’s a brilliant football coach and leader and whenever the Ducks play anybody but the Dawgs I’ll be rooting for them because of him. Y’all got a great one 👌🏻
@FTFonFS1
@getnickwright
I would include the 80-88 Celtics as well. 3 titles, 5 finals apps, and 8 conference finals apps in 9 years. Plus it was their rivalry with LA that dramatically increased the league’s popularity. An iconic team with an iconic leader in Larry Bird.
A few months ago
@LateKickJosh
said that if Carson Beck plays at an A- level, Georgia was the best team and would win the conference. Nothing about the roster changed. What happened? Just doesn’t make sense to me.
“I would power rate Georgia my No. 1 team in the SEC, yet I don’t have them in Atlanta playing for the Conference Title because they have a much more difficult schedule.
I, unlike some other folks, don’t think there’s a massive gap between Georgia and the rest of the SEC.”
Each of UGA’s teams over the past 3 years has had a different identity
2021: Very Good offense, generational defense
2022: Elite offense, Elite defense
2023: Absolutely dominant offense, very good defense
UGA has evolved in the midst of their quest for history
#GoDawgs
@DawgOutWest
Stetson’s fulfilled his obligation to UGA 100x over anyway, he already said he was done with media, that’s why Bowers did it the day after the NCG. He can act however he wants. He’s the greatest Dawg ever.
@Curry4daW
Steph had 33/8/7 on 47/47/91 splits in the final 3 games. He had 24 2nd half points in game 7. He was the best player on the floor in that game and in game 5. He was very good in game 6 as well. No idea why this series is just lost in the archives for some people.
@RyanCopasGoBlue
I’d have taken the signs more seriously if UM had lost last season but the fact that all of the toughest competition they played came at the end of the season after Stalions resigned and they beat all of them means the title has no asterisk to me personally.
@spoonlocks
SB35, 37, 48 and 55 were way worse. That game was atleast competitive deep into the 4th quarter. That’s better than a blowout no matter how we got there.
@SquidwardsWrld
Everybody deep down knows Bama is a top 4 team. I think they’re probably gonna win it all, though Michigan and Texas are tough matchups because of DLs.
I honestly can’t believe Saban pulled this off. I thought y’all were cooked after that USF game and would go like 8-4.
@MitBron6
@OnBallSteph
He was the unanimous MVP and couldn’t get by Kevin Love by the end of the series 😂. You think that was because “the moment was too big” for the reigning back to back MVP and a player who’d already led a team to a championship or he was legitimately hurt?
One of the strangest games of the CFP era. The total yardage was almost even, Alabama had more first downs, Clemson only generated one more scoring opportunity, Bama won the success rate battle 55%-43%, yet Clemson won 44-16 and had a 98% postgame win expectancy.

Brock Bowers is truly a gift from heaven to the Dawgs on and off the field. We’re so lucky to have him. Definitely on the UGA Mount Rushmore.

It has been 15,799 days since Georgia last won a non-asterisk UCF type natty where they needed other team’s best receivers injured in order to have a chance.

@CFBRep
Recruiting is part of the job. A big part. And Kirby is the best in the sport and the only coach who could match and sometimes surpass Saban in it.
@HamDawg115
A) The 2022 team was the best team in Georgia history, not the 2021 team.
B) The secondary will be a greater concern than the defensive line this season.
C) With the perspective of time and hindsight, we’ll look at the 2023 SECCG the same way we look at the 2012 SECCG today.
@2PeatAx
Sick of last years team STILL getting disrespected. Went 15-0, was a top 5 scoring offense and defense, dominated all but 2 teams including 6 ranked opponents, and could win any style of game you threw at them. If Alabama or Ohio State did that it’d still be getting talked about.
@marvinpcummings
@___theKing___
He’s not. The offensive line folds almost every week. The run game is nonexistent almost every week. We have 2 weapons that are respectable, one of which is a castoff and the other a rookie tight end. Matt outplayed Josh Allen in the snow today massively outgunned.
Wow this post triggered a lot of Alabama, Ohio State, and Michigan fans lol. Obviously this wasn't based on Oregon bringing in a freshman safety, should've clarified that, it just reminded me of some of the transfers they've brought in this offseason and how well they've
@KEGPhD
And we both conquered the team that had haunted us for so long, Georgia beating Bama in the rematch in Indy and Michigan beating Ohio State for 3 straight years.
@blakejmorgan
Georgia 41-24. I think Georgia comes out firing and then TCU counters with explosive plays, but Georgia dictates the 2nd half, shortens the game, and puts it out of reach in the 4th quarter.
-Finished top 3 in recruiting consistently with multiple
#1
classes.
-5-1 in bowl games with Rose, Sugar, Orange, and Peach Bowl wins.
-Will finish in the top 7 nationally for the 5th straight year.
With a win Monday, he will have completed it all.
@Clemson_Addict
@BarrettSallee
19 LSU ranked 9th in defensive efficiency (FEI). 20 Alabama ranked 21st. I’d also say LSU’s defense faced more top end offenses than Alabama’s did (Bama, OU, Clemson, Texas, and UF all finished top 15 in off FEI for LSU vs OSU, Ole Miss, UF for Bama).
@SquidwardsWrld
The pitches on 3rd and shorts were frustrating for me. Shouldn’t have been testing Bama’s speed and athleticism on the edges, that’s their strength. It’s like we abandoned everything that got us there offensively for 2.5 quarters.
2022 Georgia is the most underrated team of the last decade. Went 15-0, top 5 scoring offense and defense, beat 7 ranked teams by an average score of 47-17. Bookended their season with 49-3 and 65-7 wins. Had a Heisman finalist QB, Joe Moore Award Finalist OL, Mackey Award

@brantleytrest
This is actually where I part ways with other Georgia fans. I’m bullish on the DL this year. They return a lot of production and have several very talented young players breaking in and getting more playing time. The secondary is a bigger concern for me. Outside of Starks and
@HBTFD1
We’ve been here before. This was always gonna be a back and forth game. Be more physical, win moment by moment, score on this first drive of the half, and let’s leave it all out there in the 2nd half. No way I’m giving up on this team yet.
@KirbStompUGA
Jake gets a bad rap from fans because of the Fields situation imo. Yes he wasn’t a B2B champion like Stetson and he wasn’t a first rounder like Beck will be, but he was the guy who really made us believe.
@ttown32
@LateKickJosh
Alabama was better than TCU last season and would’ve been favored. They also were favored vs LSU and lost. Michigan was better and favored vs TCU and lost. The games have to matter otherwise we could have Vegas send UGA Bama and Ohio State to the CFP every year without playing.
@grantcohn
Shanahan coached Kirk for 4 games (and Kirk wasn’t very good in them). Kirk broke out in 2015 and 2016 with Sean Mcvay. The media doesn’t understand this for some odd reason and gives Shanahan more credit than Mcvay for his development.

@rainy_steve
That’s fair. At the same time, if Bama plays the way they did today, they’re gonna get drug up and down the field for 3.5 hours. Just survive and advance Saturday.
@OmGwTfBbQ117
Bowers was injured. Got hurt against Vandy then reinjured vs Tennessee. He missed the Georgia Tech game and was clearly not healthy vs Bama. Didn’t improve as much as Ladd did health wise during the 4 week period. That’s like calling Travis a quitter. Cmon.
@Clemson_Addict
2022 UGA below 2017 Bama is an unserious take. Bama lost to a 4 loss Auburn team by multiple possessions, survived Kirby's 2nd year UGA team in OT, and survived 9-4 Miss State. 2022 UGA is the most disrespected team of the CFP era.
