History
2013 Season
The 2013 season was the first in which the Georgia Bulldogs played. The Dawgs finished the regular season with a 9-3 record and lost to Ohio State in the Capital One Bowl.
2014 Season
The 2014 season was the second in which the Georgia Bulldogs played. Georgia began its season with a last second loss to Minnesota, before rattling off ten consecutive wins. The Bulldogs struggled late in the season, losing back-to-back games against Georgia Tech and in the SEC Championship, but ended the season with a resounding win over Kansas in the Sugar Bowl.
2015 Season
The 2015 season was the third in which the Georgia Bulldogs played. Georgia began its season with a last second loss to Michigan State, before rebounding and winning 10 of their last 11 games. They clinched the SEC East title with a win over arch rival Auburn and defeated Texas A&M for their first SEC Championship. The Dawgs were the #4 seed in the 2015 playoffs and defeated #5 Stanford in the Sugar Bowl. Star tailback Brian Houghton tore his ACL against the Cardinal, however, and the Dawgs were dominated by #1 seeded Penn State in the resulting Fiesta Bowl.
2016 Season
The Bulldogs started strong in the 2016 Season with a close win over TCU. Following their loss to Mizzou in week 4, Georgia took a dip in the rankings from which they would struggle to recover during the rest of the season. They would go on to win the rest of their regular season games, with the exception of SEC West opponent Alabama. The Dawgs finished the season ranked #9, three spots under their week 1 rank. They would once again end the season with a bowl loss. The Bulldogs fell to the Boilermakers 10-21 in the Outback Bowl.
