The Georgia Bulldogs are looking to win the SEC East for a third consecutive season. However, that is not the Bulldogs’ main storyline in 2023. Georgia is hoping to win a third straight national championship. The last team to win three consecutive titles in college football was Minnesota from 1934-1936.
Georgia’s top expected competition in the SEC East comes from the Tennessee Volunteers. Last year, Tennessee was a win over South Carolina away from likely making the College Football Playoff. The Volunteers should have a strong offense again in 2023, but their defense remains a question mark.
A dominant majority of media members voted that Georgia would win the SEC. However, a shocking number, who probably shouldn’t be taken seriously, picked Vanderbilt to win the SEC East.
What is the projected order of finish in the SEC East and who is predicted to win the conference?
