The Georgia Bulldogs are gearing up for a challenging 2024 season!
With conference expansions set to reshape college football, the landscape will look markedly different. The dissolution of the Pac-12 and the transformation of the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, and SEC herald a new era. The Big Ten and SEC, in particular, are evolving into super conferences, teeming with talent and formidable schedules. Georgia football, aiming for another championship run, faces one of the toughest slates.
The Bulldogs’ 2024 schedule in the revamped SEC is daunting. Texas and Oklahoma have joined the conference, with Texas anticipated to be a top contender. Georgia will face the Longhorns in Austin but avoids playing Oklahoma.
Georgia’s season kicks off at Mercedes-Benz Stadium against Clemson. Road games against Alabama and Ole Miss add to the challenge, along with several other tough matchups. The path ahead is undeniably a gauntlet.
“We’ll be the favorite in some people’s eyes,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart remarked on the Paul Finebaum Show. “Some will criticize us. We’ve got a really hard schedule. We play three top-15 teams on the road in our conference; that’s tough.”
Navigating this schedule will be tricky, yet Georgia is expected to remain one of the top teams in college football. The Bulldogs are favored in many games and are strong contenders for the College Football Playoff.
“We’ve got a good football team,” Smart added. “We’re consistent. At Georgia, we aim for sustainability. We don’t want to be a one-hit wonder or rely heavily on the transfer portal. We focus on developing our players, improving them, and preparing them for the next level.”
Smart’s confidence in the team’s prospects is well-founded. Under his leadership, Georgia has consistently been a top contender. However, the 2024 schedule includes several potential College Football Playoff teams. While Georgia might rank among the top four, they will face at least three teams capable of being in the top three. These matchups could be decided by narrow margins.
“I think we’re going to have a good football team next year,” Smart noted. “I don’t know how good, and I don’t know how we’ll perform in some really tough road games, but we’ll see where it falls.”
Georgia’s 2024 season promises excitement and high-stakes games, capturing the attention of the college football world as they compete on some of the sport’s biggest stages.
