The Georgia Bulldogs could play in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, four times during the 2024 college football season. Georgia is only scheduled to play in Atlanta once this season, but has an opportunity to play in four games in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Georgia hosts Georgia Tech on Black Friday this year, so the Bulldogs won’t be traveling to Atlanta to face their in-state rivals.
Georgia’s goal will be to start and end the season with a win in Atlanta. The more that Georgia football wins, the more that Georgia will play in Atlanta.
Georgia’s second possible appearance in Atlanta will be in the SEC championship game. The 16-team SEC has no divisions this year. The two SEC teams with the best regular season records in conference play will advance to the SEC championship in Atlanta. Georgia has appeared in six of the last seven SEC championship games, but will face a daunting 2024 schedule that features road games at Alabama, Texas and Ole Miss. There’s no guarantee the Bulldogs will make another SEC title game appearance.
Georgia’s other two games that could be played in Atlanta would be part of the expanded College Football Playoff schedule. What are the four games that Georgia could play in Atlanta along with the rest of the playoff schedule?
