Are Georgia Bulldogs SEC's Most Dominant Dynasty In Modern Era?
Fact Checked by Nate Hamilton

Sports dynasties can be a little hard to identify as they’re being made but history makes them evident.

Genuine sports dynasties are an imposing rollcall: The New York Yankees’ 16 World Series wins throughout 27 seasons through parts of four decades; the NBA Boston Celtics’ 11 titles in the 1950s and ‘60s; the NHL Montreal Canadiens’ 16 Stanley Cups in three decades, 1950s through the ‘70s; the UCLA men’s basketball team’s 10 titles over 12 seasons in the 1960s and ‘70s; the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team‘s 10 titles since 2000, and the NFL’s New England Patriots six Super Bowl wins in the 21st century.

So, with a bar that high, making a case for a dynasty-in-progress is tricky business. One thing you can bet on with confidence is the Bulldogs once Georgia sports betting is legal. Until then, stay with BetGeorgia.com for the latest Georgia sports and betting updates.

Bulldogs Continue to Build Dynasty

The Georgia Bulldogs are writing their history at the moment in SEC football. The Bulldogs have won two consecutive national football titles. Given how fluid college sports rosters are these days, that alone is impressive, but the ‘Dawgs are going for their third in a row this season. Taking a snapshot of college football in the 21st century, Alabama has quite the footprint, having won six national titles since 2009. And if the measure of a college football program is the players it sends to the NFL, Alabama leads there, at least according to a count done by USA Today in September, with 57 players. Georgia was an impressive third with 46 players in the NFL. Of course, those numbers can change weekly.

However, it is Georgia that has the current streak of two national titles and the Bulldogs are determinedly marching toward a three-peat this season. Through nine games this season, Georgia is undefeated and ranked No. 1. Next on the schedule is No. 9-ranked Ole Miss on Saturday.

Impressive Streak by Georgia Bulldogs

The Georgia win streaks go like this: 25 straight overall and 35 straight in regular-season games. The Bulldogs are 41-1 over their last 42 games. The last time Georgia lost a game of any kind was to Alabama for the SEC championship,  41-24, on Dec. 4, 2021. And that was avenged about a month later when Georgia beat the Crimson Tide, 33-18, for the national title.

That win for the national championship broke an Alabama win streak over Georgia that had gone on for seven torturous meetings for the Bulldogs.

College football has been a difficult sport for any one school to dominate in the way UCLA did in college basketball. The last college football team to claim three straight championships was the University of Minnesota from 1934 through 1936. The Golden Gophers also claimed back-to-back titles in 1940 and ’41. However, if Georgia can stretch its winning ways through another championship, that just may be extraordinary enough that it might be time to talk dynasty.

Expect the Bulldogs to be heavily featured on the best Georgia betting apps as soon as they become available to residents in the Peach State. BetGeorgia.com is your home for all sports betting needs as we continue to stay on top of the latest developments.
