The 2024 college football season is almost here, which means it is time to get ready to root for your UGA Bulldogs as they welcome the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns to the new-look SEC. Georgia won’t play the former this season but they have a Lone Star-sized showdown with the Horns in mid-October.
Before Georgia can put any energy into thinking about the Texas game, they kick off the season in Atlanta against the Clemson Tigers in the Aflac Kickoff Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. After the home opener against Tennessee Tech, the Dawgs get into SEC play with a trip to Lexington to face the Kentucky Wildcats. Kirby Smart and company will have an open week before traveling to Tuscaloosa for their first matchup in the post-Nick Saban era.
As we roll into October, UGA will take on the Auburn Tigers in the “Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry” to kick off the month. On Oct. 19 they will head to Austin to face in the Horns. This could be a preview of the SEC title game should the preseason media poll predictions hold. Following the open week, the Dawgs have a date with the Florida Gators in Jacksonville.
Georgia will get tested as November continues with a road test against the Ole Miss Rebels before returning home to host the Tennessee Vols. This could be a historic season as UGA aims for a third national title in four seasons.
