Pre-season rank - #4
Last season was just a down year for Georgia. Yet it navigated the hardest schedule in the country, won the SEC and was competing in the CFP with a backup quarterback.
Georgia continues to be impressive from a roster-building standpoint, and I think you'd be sorely mistaken to believe the Bulldogs are heading in the wrong direction. Kirby Smart is too driven, and I don't have a lot of questions about a team that has had a top-three recruiting class over the last four years. They're loaded with talent, even if they lost some players.
Gunnar Stockton wasn't the reason why Georgia lost to Notre Dame. Georgia needs to upgrade on the outside, but it also needs to become a better and more dominant run team. It played that way in its two title-winning seasons, though it wasn't able to play that way in 2024. Nate Frazier looked good as a true freshman running back and they added Zachariah Branch and Noah Thomas at wide receiver, so there's help coming. Tight end Oscar Delp is also back, giving Stockton some pieces to work with.
Georgia's schedule is still tough next season, but unlike last season, most of its toughest games are at home.
