The 2026 Georgia Bulldogs

Georgia (6-1, 4-1 SEC) checks in at No. 3 in the AP poll this week, up from No. 5 last week.

Georgia began this season No. 3 and spent five weeks at No. 2 before moving to No. 1 on Oct. 11. After a 27-24 home loss to Auburn, Georgia dropped to No. 5 (Oct. 18) and then had an open date.

The Bulldogs lead the SEC and rank second nationally in Scoring Offense at 43 points per game (ppg) and lead the SEC and rank 16th nationally in Scoring Defense at 15.9 ppg.

Georgia has gone 1-1 in its past two games and has averaged 22.0 ppg while allowing 22.0 ppg.

Georgia’s 301 points is the second most after seven games in school history, trailing only the 2014 squad that tallied 304.

Georgia is outscoring its opponents 87-14 in the first quarter. Overall, the Bulldogs have outscored their opponents 301-111.

Fifth-year All-SEC quarterback Gunner Stockton ranks 2nd in the NCAA with a 185.9 Passing Efficiency Rating and 3rd Completion Percentage at 74.1. The running backs, wideouts and tight ends have shared the load this season. Thirteen different Bulldogs have a touchdown catch.

The offensive line starters have been the same every game in Earnest Greene III, Dontrell Glover, Drew Bobo, Zykie Helton and Juan Gaston Jr.

Only one team has scored more than 20 points this season on the Bulldogs, and that’s the best since the 2021 national championship team as they did not allow more than 17 points in a game during the regular season.

The same 11 Bulldogs started on defense through the first four games this year. This group featured Elijah Griffin, Jordan Hall, Quintavius Johnson, Gabe Harris Jr., Chris Cole and Raylen Wilson while the back end included All-Americans KJ Bolden and Ellis Robinson IV plus Demello Jones, Kyron Jones and Khalil Barnes. Against VU, Joseph Jonah-Ajonye (DL) and Rasean Dinkins (SS) made their first starts this year. Against No. 6 Alabama, Dinkins made his second straight start while Barnes returned to the starting lineup. In the Auburn contest, the only first-time starter was Ja’Marley Riddle (S) for the injured Bolden.

Senior All-SEC placekicker Peyton Woodring is a weapon with a career FG% of 87% (66-of- 76) and an SEC record 211 consecutive PATs made. Junior Drew Miller handles the punting.

The SEC Gauntlet Continues

The two-time defending SEC champion Bulldogs play host to No. 17 Florida (5-2, 3-2 SEC) Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta with both teams coming off an open date. The neutral site contest this year is called the Invesco QQQ Atlanta Gridiron Classic, and Georgia is the home team.

During Kirby Smart‘s tenure, Georgia is 78-19 against SEC teams (regular season, SEC title games and CFP matchups).
