The Georgia Bulldogs are scheduled to play against five teams ranked in the top 15 of the US LBM Coaches Poll. Georgia opens the season against No. 14 Clemson on Aug. 31 at noon ET in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Georgia will play its next ranked opponent in Week 5 after a bye week. The nation will be watching on Sept. 28 as Georgia travels to play No. 5 Alabama in a rematch of the 2023 SEC championship game.

After hosting two more SEC opponents, Georgia will hit the road to play another top five team in Week 8. On Oct. 19, Georgia plays at No. 4 Texas in the Bulldogs’ first ever SEC game against Texas.

The Longhorns football team runs onto the field for the start of the game against Alabama at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday September 10, 2022.

Georgia has a bye week after the Texas game and then plays Florida, who is unranked, in Jacksonville, Florida. The following week, Georgia faces another top 10 opponent on the road in No. 6 Ole Miss. Georgia’s Week 11 game at Ole Miss will be played on Nov. 9.

The Dawgs host No. 15 Tennessee in Week 12 after the Ole Miss game on Nov. 16. Overall, Georgia plays five top 15 opponents, but hosts just one of those five games. The Bulldogs are the preseason No. 1 for a second consecutive season, but face a very difficult schedule.
