Georgia Bulldogs fans, buckle up for another thrilling season as the team gears up for the 2026 college football campaign. Coming in at No. 3 in the CBS Sports way-too-early Top 25, Georgia is building on a solid 12-2 season. They clinched the SEC Championship for the second consecutive year but fell short in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal at the Sugar Bowl, mirroring last year’s outcome.
Mark your calendars for a key matchup on November 7th against Ole Miss. This game is shaping up to be pivotal, especially if Georgia arrives in Oxford unbeaten and potentially ranked No.
- With Ole Miss under the new leadership of coach Pete Golding, this clash could have significant playoff implications if the Rebels maintain their elite status.
Last season, Georgia split their encounters with Ole Miss. In both games, the Bulldogs' secondary struggled against Trinidad Chambliss, who delivered standout performances.
As Chambliss seeks an eligibility waiver, Georgia’s defense will need to step up if they aim to secure another SEC title. While traditional rivals like Alabama and Florida are always on the radar, overcoming Ole Miss is crucial.
Coach Kirby Smart highlighted Chambliss’s impact in their previous meetings. Reflecting on the 34-39 loss in New Orleans, Smart noted, "They ran the same plays, and they ran them well. Their quarterback made some unbelievable plays, especially the scramble that led to a deep pass against our defense."
Georgia faces significant roster changes with the departure of key players. Offensively, they’ll miss wide receivers Zachariah Branch, Dillon Bell, Colbie Young, and Noah Thomas, along with tight end Oscar Delp.
The offensive line loses tackle Monroe Freeling and guard Micah Morris. On the defensive side, tackle Christen Miller, linebacker CJ Allen, and cornerback Daylen Everette are moving on.
Punter Brett Thorson also wraps up his college career.
As the Bulldogs prepare for the upcoming season, fans can expect a blend of fresh talent and strategic adjustments. With high stakes and a challenging schedule, Georgia’s journey promises to be as exciting as ever.
