The 2022 college football season looms just around the corner, and with it comes preseason polls and predictions. The Georgia Bulldogs are coming off a national championship season where they fielded one of the best defenses ever.
Despite that, media members picked Alabama, which Georgia just upended in the National Championship game, to win the SEC instead. The Crimson Tide are the preseason favorites to win the conference for the seventh year in a row. They have all the makings of an SEC champion, but so does Georgia.
The defending national champs lost a lot of talent in the offseason, but there’s still no shortage of it in Athens. The Bulldogs pulled in the nation’s third-best recruiting class, according to 247Sports, featuring five five-star players. The Georgia football program also retained star players such as tight end Brock Bowers and linebacker Nolan Smith.
The competition will be fierce but the Bulldogs have all the pieces to win the 2022 SEC Championship.
