I don&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>The Last 5 times Georgia has played a regular season game outside the South:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>1965 Georgia at Michigan<\/li>\n<li>1960 Georgia at Southern California<\/li>\n<li>1957 Georgia at Michigan<\/li>\n<li>1953 Georgia at Villanova<\/li>\n<li>1952 Georgia at Pennsylvania<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>How is this possible?
