Forever SEC foes’ fans relished in reminding the Bulldog Nation that 1980 was Georgia’s last national championship, but that narrative is dead with Kirby’s Dawgs doing the talk on the field

Georgia is heading to Jacksonville atop the polls with a perfect 7-0 record as the reigning national champions of college football. Florida is 4-3 with losses to Kentucky, Tennessee and LSU. The Gators led in all three of those games. The Bulldogs have beaten Oregon. Florida has topped Utah.

So many times in the 20th century, the winner of this game has had the inside track to a berth in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game. In fact, in the last 20 SEC title tilts, Georgia or Florida have appeared in Atlanta as the winner of the East Division 15 times.
