The Bulldogs played their home games at Sanford Stadium and competed as members of the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference.

The Bulldogs won their first six games by an average margin of victory of 30 points but suffered their first loss on the road against LSU.

Georgia was left just outside the top four in the final CFP rankings, and they were invited to the Sugar Bowl to play Big 12 Conference runner-up Texas.

On the ground, D'Andre Swift and Elijah Holyfield each finished with more than 1,000 rushing yards, the second consecutive year that Georgia had two 1,000-yard backs.

On defense, cornerback Deandre Baker was a consensus first-team All-American and the recipient of the Jim Thorpe Award.
