Georgia football’s dominance over the past four years is undeniable. With two National Championships, two SEC titles, and countless significant wins under their belt, the Bulldogs have established themselves as one of the most consistent programs in the nation. Yet, despite their sustained success, questions about their future dominance and respect within college football remain.
The latest debate stems from On3’s J.D. PicKell, who recently ranked his top 10 programs for the next three years. Surprisingly, Georgia found itself trailing SEC rival Texas on the list, sparking outrage and confusion among fans. Many argue that the Bulldogs’ recent head-to-head success against Texas, including two decisive victories during the 2024 season, warrants a higher ranking.
In their first year in the SEC, Texas faced Georgia twice — once in Austin during the regular season and again in the SEC Championship game. Both times, the Bulldogs emerged victorious, solidifying their standing as the dominant force in the conference. Despite Texas’ impressive recruiting class, ranked No. 1 in the nation, Georgia’s own No. 2-ranked class continues to position them as a powerhouse with unmatched depth and talent.
For Georgia fans, the lack of recognition feels misplaced. The Bulldogs have maintained top-tier recruiting classes for three consecutive years and boast a roster brimming with talent and experience. While Texas’ potential is undeniable, critics argue that Georgia has already proven itself on the field and in marquee moments — something Texas has yet to replicate.
“Until Texas can beat Georgia, win the SEC, or claim a National Championship, they don’t deserve to be ranked higher,” said one passionate fan.
The conversation highlights a broader theme in college football: the relentless focus on future potential rather than proven performance. While Georgia has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to sustain excellence, the narrative often shifts toward emerging programs like Texas, creating friction between fanbases and analysts.
As Georgia prepares for the 2025 season, the Bulldogs have every intention of continuing their dominance and silencing doubters. With a loaded roster and an experienced coaching staff, the program remains poised to contend for more championships. Whether they’ll receive the respect they deserve is another question entirely, but one thing is certain: Georgia’s performance will do the talking.
In the words of Bulldogs fans, “Respect isn’t given; it’s earned. And Georgia has earned it.”
