As the 2023 season has progressed, Georgia has marched ever closer to history.
The Bulldogs are chasing their third consecutive national championship, something that by most measurements hasn’t been accomplished since Minnesota’s 1930s dynasty. However, Georgia has quietly moved amassed one of college football’s longest winning streaks.
On Saturday, the Bulldogs topped Georgia Tech, 31–23, to win their 29th consecutive game. The win gave them sole possession of the longest winning streak in SEC history.
Georgia passed a pair of Alabama runs: a 28-game streak from 1978–80 under coach Bear Bryant and a 28-game streak from ’91–93 under Gene Stallings.
The Bulldogs tied Michigan (1901–03), Miami (’90–92), Florida State (2012–14) and Clemson (’18–19) for the 12th-longest streak in major college football history.
Georgia remains 18 wins shy of tying one of the most venerated records in American sports: Oklahoma's all-time mark of 47 straight wins from 1953–57.
