Georgia 2023 football schedule with opponent FPI rankings

What is Georgia’s 2023 football schedule and how are the Bulldogs’ opponents ranked according to FPI?

The Georgia Bulldogs are looking to win a third consecutive national championship during the 2023 college football season. Georgia’s 2023 football schedule sets the Bulldogs up well for another College Football Playoff appearance.

Georgia’s toughest game is at Tennessee. Beyond that, it is hard to find a potential loss for the Bulldogs during the regular season. Georgia will be heavily favored in almost every regular-season game it plays in.

Georgia’s slow opening schedule will give the Bulldogs and head coach Kirby Smart time to decide if Brock Vandagriff or Carson Beck is the best fit to start at quarterback. Additionally, this will be the SEC’s final season before Oklahoma and Texas join the conference and alter the structure of the SEC schedule.

Georgia Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Bulldogs miss from the SEC slate?

The two-time defending national champs don’t have to deal with Alabama, LSU, or Texas A&M. Those are all possible contenders to challenge for the SEC title. Even for a team as strong as this, not playing those three helps.

They also miss Arkansas and Mississippi State. That leaves just Ole Miss and Auburn from the West – that’s okay considering the Rebels have to come to Athens.

Georgia Football Schedule What Really Matters

Overall the schedule isn’t that bad – more on that in a moment – but the two biggest games on the slate aren’t in Athens.

Florida and Tennessee.

Obviously the game with the Gators is – as always – in Jacksonville, and the date with Tennessee is in Knoxville. That’s not to say the Dawgs shouldn’t win or won’t be favored, but they should by expected to rip through everyone else on the slate by at least double-digits. If they get by the Vols and Gators, it’ll be smooth sailing because …

Georgia Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

It would’ve been nice to see Georgia get someone nasty in non-conference play.

The Oregon game to open last season wasn’t exactly competitive, but at least that was a big program on big program crime. This year’s non-conference schedule? UT Martin, Ball State, UAB, and Georgia Tech.

Will any of those four come within 24 of the Dawgs?

With no Alabama or LSU on the slate, that means anything less than 11-1 would be a total disappointment. That means the season will be about focus. There was a blip in 2022 against Missouri, and the Kent State game took a while to wake up for, but both were wins. It’s going to take a total mental lapse not to roll though this schedule.
