After some extensive research this past week I have come up with some interesting facts regarding Georgia’s football program. This research was spawned by my total disdain for the SEC‘s complete lack of traveling outside of the South to play a football game. I don’t understand how a team from the SEC, particularly Georgia, can stake a claim to being one of the best teams in the country without every leaving their region. Historically SEC teams don’t play outside of the South but Georgia takes this even further. In their entire history Georgia has only played 34 regular season games and 1 bowl game outside of the South. Their last game played outside of the South was 43 years ago at Michigan. Let me say that again: 43 years ago.
The Last 5 times Georgia has played a regular season game outside the South:
- 1965 Georgia at Michigan
- 1960 Georgia at Southern California
- 1957 Georgia at Michigan
- 1953 Georgia at Villanova
- 1952 Georgia at Pennsylvania
How is this possible? From this point on I will refer to the Georgia Bulldogs as merely a ‘regional football power’.
My stats were found at NCAA Football History.
