The Georgia Bulldogs could be facing an SEC championship rematch in 2025, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI). The Texas Longhorns (34.1%) and Georgia (26.9%) have the two best odds to win the SEC per FPI’s estimate. The Alabama Crimson Tide (17.2%) are the only other SEC team with more than a 5% chance to win the conference.
Interestingly, Georgia is scheduled to play both Texas and Alabama at home this season. Of course, playing Texas and Alabama on the road did not stop the Bulldogs from making the 2024 SEC championship where UGA went on to beat Texas in overtime.
Texas, Georgia and Alabama are the top three teams in ESPN’s FPI metric. They are also the three teams with the best chance to win the national championship along with the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Bottom Line
ESPN’s FPI is pretty high on Georgia entering the 2025 season despite all of the talent that Georgia lost. The Bulldogs lost 13 players to the 2025 NFL draft and had several more key contributors go undrafted. Georgia’s 2025 team does not have as much experience as the Dawgs have had in previous years.
Georgia will also be trotting out a new starting quarterback in Gunner Stockton. Georgia lost starting quarterback Carson Beck to the transfer portal in the winter. Beck and outside linebacker Damon Wilson highlight 20 Georgia players that left via the transfer portal. Coach Kirby Smart did bring in 10 transfers, but there’s no doubt that the Bulldogs lost a lot of key players to the portal.
Georgia will have a new look in the trenches. The Dawgs had a trio of interior offensive linemen drafted and lost their six leading sack producers from the 2024 season to the draft or…
