Unveiling Georgia Football's 2025 Schedule
Non-Conference Opponents
Marshall, Austin Peay, Charlotte, and Georgia Tech will make up Georgia's non-conference opponents in 2025. Originally set to play UCLA in a home-and-home series, that was canceled this past summer and replaced by a home game against Marshall. The game against Georgia Tech will be played in Mercedes-Benz Stadium and designated as a Georgia Tech home game. The Bulldogs recently beat the Yellow Jackets 44-42 in overtime this season.
The non-conference schedule provides an opportunity for Georgia to showcase their talent against different opponents and build momentum before diving into SEC play. Each game will be a challenge in its own right, and fans are excited to see how the team performs.
SEC Slate
The SEC slate for 2025 is set to be a challenging one. Tennessee and Texas both made the College Football Playoff this season, while Alabama and Ole Miss narrowly missed. Auburn is expected to be improved, and Georgia struggled in their last visit to Jordan-Hare Stadium in 2023, winning 27-20. The 2025 season will be the first time Georgia plays Texas in Athens, as the two teams have already met twice this season with Georgia winning both, including a thrilling 22-19 overtime victory.
Playing against these tough SEC opponents will test Georgia's mettle and determine their standing in the conference. The Bulldogs will need to bring their A-game every week to come out on top.
Bye Weeks
Georgia will have two bye weeks in 2025. The first bye week is set for Sept. 20, giving the team time to rest and recover after a few tough games. The second bye week will take place on Oct. 25, just a week before their game against Florida. This extra rest will be crucial for the team's performance as they approach the latter part of the season.
Bye weeks allow the players to heal from any injuries and focus on improving their skills. They also provide an opportunity for the coaching staff to analyze game film and make adjustments for the upcoming games.
Rivalry Games
The rivalry game between Georgia and Florida will be played in Jacksonville in 2025, but it will be the last season for this matchup in the current stadium. The stadium is undergoing renovations, and the game will move to a different location until 2028. This adds an extra element of excitement to the rivalry, as fans will be eager to see how Georgia performs in a new setting.
The Georgia-Florida rivalry is one of the most intense in college football, and fans on both sides are looking forward to this showdown. It will be a battle between two powerhouse programs, and the outcome is sure to have a significant impact on the SEC standings.
As for the current season, Georgia is set to face the winner of Notre Dame and Indiana in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans as part of the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. This will be another test for the Bulldogs as they look to continue their winning streak.
