Right now, Georgia Bulldogs football fans are in a golden age. The Bulldogs won back-to-back national championships in 2021 and 2022 to silence rival fan bases. Dawg fans suffered for a long time before Kirby Smart and Georgia won a championship in 2021. Now, opposing fan bases can no longer flaunt that Georgia has not won a title since 1980.
To make things even better for Bulldog fans, several of Georgia’s rivals are having a rough time winning. Florida, Auburn, and Georgia Tech are all struggling to win in recent years. This trio of Georgia rivals has each experienced turmoil, while Georgia has been in a state stability under Kirby Smart.
Georgia is so far ahead of many of its rivals that UGA’s SEC championship winning season in 2024 was considered a failure by many. However, none of Georgia’s top rivals (outside of Alabama) have won an SEC title since Auburn won the SEC in 2013.
When was the last time Georgia’s biggest rivals won a national championship in football?
