Georgia Bulldogs
Record: 11-2 (SEC Champions)
First Playoff Opponent: Notre Dame or Indiana
Season Summary
This season was a bit more turbulent than the prior three for Georgia, with losses to Alabama and Ole Miss as well as close victories over Kentucky and Georgia Tech sticking out. The Bulldogs narrowly beat Texas in the SEC title game, but may have lost quarterback Carson Beck in the process due to an elbow injury. If Beck is unable to go, Gunner Stockton will be asked to make his first career start in a CFP quarterfinal.
