Georgia Bulldogs College Football Betting
The 2023 Georgia Bulldogs began the season with the goal of becoming the first team since the 1936 Minnesota Golden Gophers to win a 3-peat national championship. Last week in the SEC championship game, Georgia lost to Alabama in a heartbreaker. Georgia made too many errors, and Alabama made more clutch plays. As a result, the Bulldogs must settle for the Orange Bowl against their fellow bridesmaid, the Florida State Seminoles.

Georgia Bulldogs Weekly Recap

Georgia has a record of 12-1 straight up, 5-8 against the spread, and 6-7 over/under the total. Georgia ranks 8th for total offense, 10th for passing, 43rd for rushing and 9th for scoring.

Kendall Milton rushed for two touchdowns, and Carson Beck added one for Georgia. Beck completed 21 of 29 passes for 243 yards. Bulldogs star Brock Bowers played despite an ankle injury but was largely ineffective, with five receptions for 53 yards. The two-time defending national champion Bulldogs lost to Alabama for the eighth time in the past nine meetings.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart said it shouldn't be tough for the CFP selection committee to know that his club should be part of the playoffs.
"It's not the most deserving, it's the best four teams," Smart said. "If (we're) not one of the best four teams out there, I don't believe any man or woman sitting on that committee doesn't believe that's not one of the best teams. It was No. 1 coming into (this game). But there would be no comeback victory for the Bulldogs, who lost for just the second time in their past 47 games.
"We're a resilient bunch, never say die attitude," Smart said. "Great team, but a tough loss for us."
For Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs, the dream of winning the first repeat since the 1936 Minnesota Golden Gophers is over. Smart must eat some humble pie after losing a revenge grudge match against his former boss, Nick Saban.

Georgia has four national championships (1942, 1980, 2021, and 2022). The program operates in one of the most fertile recruiting regions in America. Thus, they are favorably set up for national championship chances for years to come.
Georgia has a total of 12 divisional and 16 SEC championships. They have two Heisman Trophy winners and 39 consensus All-Americans.
Until Kirby Smart, Vince Dooley was the gold standard of Georgia coaches. With Heisman Trophy running back Herschel Walker, Dooley led UGA to the 1980 national championship.
