Now that divisions in the SEC are no more, the Georgia Bulldogs will no longer be facing some major SEC opponents annually
Throughout the storied history of the University of Georgia’s football program, the Bulldogs have been a part of some historic rivalries that span more than a century. While some of the Dawgs’ rivals belong to other conferences , the majority of Georgia’s most bitter foes reside in the SEC.
For many years, divisions were the determining factor of a team’s schedule. Each team played every other team within its division and the two teams with the best record in each of their divisions would face each other in the SEC Championship. This system ensured that teams would face the same 6-7 conference opponents annually and led to some ferocious rivalry games with major importance.
For the Georgia Bulldogs, this means that teams such as Missouri, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt will no longer be annual opponents for the Dawgs. Since 1992, Georgia and South Carolina met annually and participated in some major SEC matchups. Especially during the years that college football legend Steve Spurrier was their head coach.
