Georgia

Unlike Kentucky and South Carolina, the Georgia Bulldogs are one of the historic powers of the SEC. In fact, Georgia is 49-12-2 all-time against Kentucky and is 46-15-2 against the Gamecocks. The Bulldogs are also 24-9 in UCFC games. Many of those wins game during 1942, when Frank Sinkwich led Georgia to one of its greatest seasons. Georgia also held the title through most of the 1971 season -- although they lost it to Auburn in November of that year. Interestingly, since 1971 Georgia has only played for the UCFC five times -- the great Hershel Walker teams never played for the title. The Bulldogs are 1-4 in those games. The last time Georgia took the title was in 1989, when they beat Mississippi State 23-6. Georgia lost the title to South Carolina the very next week. Now they will have a great chance to get it back.
