The Georgia Bulldogs have set a lofty goal: to win the SEC East for the third year in a row. Meanwhile, the primary plot of The Bulldogs in 2023 is not that.
Georgia’s objective is to win a national championship for the third year. The University of Minnesota was the last team to win three consecutive titles in collegiate football, doing so from 1934 to 1936.
The Tennessee Volunteers are Georgia’s primary anticipated opponent in the SEC East this season. In the previous season, Tennessee would have had a better chance of making the College Football Playoff if it had won its game against South Carolina.
The Volunteers will likely have a potent offensive again in 2023, even though their defense is still in flux.
According to an overwhelming majority of the media participants, Georgia was victorious in the SEC. Even though an astonishingly large number of people, most of whom should not be taken seriously, anticipated that Vanderbilt would win the SEC East.
