What would you place the odds at for Georgia to go Back to Back ???
Doesn't happen all the time and is incredibly difficult to do.

I'll go with a 'gut feel' and say 10% chance.

List of past teams to do it.

1940-1941 Minnesota
1944-1945 Army
1946-1947 Notre Dame
1955-1956 Oklahoma
1964-1965 Alabama
1970-1971 Nebraska
1974-1975 Oklahoma
1978-1979 Alabama
1994-1995 Nebraska
2003-2004 USC
2011-2012 Alabama
2021- ??? Georgia

Seems really strange no B1G team is on this list.
Maybe I missed it.

We just beat each other up
 
Sorry Georgia fans, I don't see it. Alabama is and SHOULD be the front runner.

Georgia will definitely be in the mix but I don't think they are better than Alabama.

BTW, I think the 2004 USC title was vacated in official records. Kind of dumb. I still think 2003 USC is dubious as I think LSU probably deserved it. 2004 USC though was dominate and although Auburn was unbeaten, I think USC would have beat Auburn.

Was Minnesota not in the B1G in 1940-41?. Also we claim Nebraska now biatch
 
And Alabama is their biggest competition, and Alabama’s QB is too short and they don’t have the depth at WR. Natty on a platter for UGA

No team has ever gone Back to Back to Back.
Oklahoma was the closest with an undefeated 1954 season.
