Now Georgia steps into the heavyweight division.
It’s the Southeastern Conference opener, as top-ranked two-time defending national champion Georgia hosts South Carolina Saturday afternoon Between the Hedges on Dooley Field in Sanford Stadium. The 2-0 Bulldogs have beaten UT Martin 48-7 and Ball State 45-3, extending the longest winning streak in school history to 19. South Carolina comes in at 1-1. The Gamecocks lost the season opener to North Carolina 31-17 in Charlotte, then bounced back with a 47-21 win over Furman in Columbia.
Georgia is in the midst of a glorious era, with six straight top ten seasons, highlighted by the 2021 and 2022 national championships.
