The Georgia Bulldogs head into the 2025 season with a challenging but enticing schedule, full of marquee matchups and pivotal SEC showdowns that will shape their College Football Playoff aspirations. It’s basically the same schedule as 2024 but reversing home and away games.

   With rising quarterback Gunner Stockton expected to take the helm and a roster flush with top recruits, Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs look to make another run at conference and national glory.
