Georgia Football 2024 Schedule Preview & Record Projection

Intro what's going on YouTube this is sg1 sports and you're watching our college football channel we're going to take a very early look at the Georgia Bulldog schedule for 2024 and give you a very early projected record this is based off of how tough the schedule is and just how good each team is expected to be this upcoming season based off of how they finished last year and you know kind of quickly looking at what they will return and so we're going to give you this again this is not our official prediction just a projection we do this every single year before we get into uh the upcoming schedule let's look back at the 2023 schedule so here was the Past Schedule schedule for Georgia in 2023 and you know they had a really easy non-conference schedule of course I believe it was Oklahoma they were supposed to play and and that game got canceled because Oklahoma because of them coming to the SEC or whatever so you look at UT Martin Ball State UAB and then Georgia Tech which turned out to be um not a close game but a somewhat competitive game um and then you look at who they played out of the West this past season they did play Old Miss who turned out to be you know one of the better teams in that division finished second in the west and then Auburn um but didn't play LSU didn't play Alabama so it was just a really easy schedule for them uh 2024 a little bit of a different story here is that schedule before we go game by game um let's break it down starting with the non-conference schedule so they're going to play Non Conference Clemson and Atlanta Tennessee Tech UMass and Georgia Tech so a much tougher non-conference schedule here with Clemson of course uh Georgia Tech is a program on the rise a good news is you get that game at home um but yeah you got two easy wins in there as well Tennessee Tech and UMass so you look at the home schedule and again you've got those non-conference games and they have Auburn Mississippi State and Tennessee uh really the the problem with Georgia's schedule this year is that they have to play six games away from home and you look at their home games these are all games that you would figure that they'd have a good shot at winning on the road uh you'd like to have Texas at home you'd like to have Alabama at home uh not necessarily Mississippi State now Auburn and Tennessee those are tough places to play but still uh you like your chances better on the road in those games than against maybe Texas and Alabama so uh so some you they should win their home games you look at these six home games and it would be a pretty big surprise if they lost any of them but it's the road schedule that I think could potentially trip up the Bulldogs this year and here Road Games it is and I'm putting the neutral sight games on here as well so Clemson and Florida both of those games neutral site not true Road games but Kentucky on the road then you have Alabama on the road Tennessee on the road or Texas on the road and Old Miss on the road so again Texas and Alabama you really would like to maybe have one of those games at home uh that's that's pretty tough the way the schedule wound up for them with those two games both being on the road Old Miss Figures to be good again this year in Kentucky uh we'll see but uh overall you've got six games six challenging games away from home for Georgia this year it is a much different schedule than last season so they start Schedule with Clemson and Atlanta open up the season with that game U then they Tennessee Tech on September the 7th that'll be a home game like I said then Kentucky on the 14th on the road uh Georgia should be you know a better team than Kentucky we'll see how that plays out Alabama on the road they get a byee before playing the Crimson side so that's the good news here again you do get a byee before that Alabama game but they do play them on the road so backtack Road games and then but they do have a by- week in between but still Auburn after that at home on the 5th then they get Mississippi State on the 12th back-to-back home games and then Texas on the 19th uh so that's a pretty tough stretch there from Alabama to Texas with alurn and Mississippi State in the middle but good news is you get those games at Home Alabama Texas probably going to be the two toughest games for Georgia this year especially again the fact that those games are on the road and then they get Florida on on the 2nd of November but they get a a bye before Florida which I think they pretty much always do if I'm Georgia though I'd rather flip those games around I'd rather have the byee before playing Texas um you know Florida's rivalry of course it's not going to be an easy win for them but Georgia should be a better team than Florida again this year and so that that's kind of tough there uh you look at olds after that after a rivalry game against Florida going on the road to face olds on November the 9th that might be the third toughest game on the schedule then they play Tennessee on the 16th UMass on the 23rd and finish things out with Georgia Tech at home um it's just a really tough road schedule that's really what it boils down to here with Alabama Texas and ol Miss arguably the three toughest opponents that Georgia will play all being on the road and that makes for a pretty tough schedule in 2024 so here were the projections from Projections 2023 you see Georgia of course 12-0 in the regular season our projection had them at 12-0 my prediction was 12-0 Athlon had them at 12-0 and the over under was at 11 and a half so expectations were obviously very high for Georgia this past season and you could make the argument that they actually were the best team in college football really would have loved to have seen Georgia and Michigan in the national championship just to see but they had the one bad game against Alabama they weren't 100% healthy lost that game and it cost them a shot at a national championship that won't happen again with a 12 team playoff but let's get into this projection here again this Schedule Breakdown is the schedule this is the scale that we use if it's less than 20 or over 80 it'll be in the red or the green those games are counted as wins or losses uh 20 to 29% 71 to 80% those are games where I think the spread is going to be double digits going to be you know 10 to 17 points kind of in that range 30 to 39 61 to 70 those are games where I think the spread will be uh a touchdown 6 seven eight nine points in that range and then the the white games in white 40 to 60% these are your 50/50 games games where I think the spread will be less than a touchdown and really games that can go either way uh so let's just jump right in and we do have a tier system that that I use for this it's a formula this is not a prediction keep that in mind this is not a prediction it's just a formula the formula that we used last year did put Georgia though at 12 and0 a Record Projection much tougher schedule this year but they do have some pretty easy games in here Tennessee Tech Auburn Mississippi State UMass those are four games that they should win and they should be uh considerable favorites I think in all four of those games you look at the Auburn game that kind of tricky because I think that team has a chance to be a lot better this year and if depending on how much better they are that could possibly be a game in the blue or even the purple uh depending on that but again we're leaning more towards how the teams were last year and I realized that Auburn played them tough last year but that game was at Jordan ha this time it'll be in Athens it's a totally different story uh so that's not a guaranteed win but U you know that one's closer to 80% whereas Tennessee Tech like 100% UMass like 100% Mississippi state's probably closer to 90% but all these games will be counted as wins here for the projection so four fairly easy games again we'll see about Auburn how good they are and that's why this is is not a prediction Because by the time we get to predictions I might feel a lot better about Auburn maybe I think that game will be tougher for Georgia but right now at home I think that's a pretty easy win uh so let's go to the Game Projections games in blue Florida and Jacksonville Florida seems to be near the bottom of the SEC it's a neutral sight game uh no real reason to expect Geor not to be a two touchdown favorite in this one Georgia Tech as well it's at home I know Georgia Tech played him pretty tough last year but playing at home I think they will be favored by a couple of touchdowns in this game as well so two rivalry games there where I expect Georgia to be favored but not guaranteed wins and then we'll go to the games in the purple here Clemson Kentucky and Tennessee these are all games where I think Georgia will be favored by about a touchdown Clemson and Atlanta going to be interesting I really don't know what to expect right now now that game is so far away uh Clemson's going to be a talented team but I just don't think they're quite on George's level and again I do think they'll be favored by about a touchdown in that one Kentucky because it's on the road that's why it wound up in the purple again just with the formula that we use if I actually had to guess a spread there I would probably go over over a touchdown probably more like um 10 to 13 but again that's just kind of a rough way of doing this I do have an actual tier system and a formula that I use Tennessee also at Tier System home uh this is so if you're wondering like Georgia is a tier one team Tennessee is a tier 2 team and the game being at home that's enough to to make to put Georgia um as a pretty good favorite in this one so um Clemson Kentucky and Tennessee all games that could be tough but Georgia clearly going to be favored in all three games and then you've got Alabama Texas and Old Miss all 50/50 games and the projection when you average it all out comes out to 9 and three so 9 and three the pro Ed record no that does not mean that they're going to lose to Alabama Texas and Old Miss that's not how this works uh if you plug in the numbers they would they would split those games because they're 50/50 games but when you have games where uh you're a 60 to 70% favorite or whatever Clemson Kentucky Tennessee odds would say you're probably only going to win one of those gam or two of those games I should say two of those three games so if you lose one of those you lose a couple 50/50 games or even get upset by Florida Georgia Tech um you can see how you could get to 9 and three but uh me personally I think this Georgia team is probably going to do better than 9 and three again I'm not going to give away an official prediction but I will probably have them higher than 9 and three but it is tricky with Alabama Texas and Old Miss all on the road and these are all uh considered tier one teams so that's a really tough schedule just with those three games and not a lot of gimme games again we've got Auburn here in the green that might not be a game that that Georgia's favored by 17 18 points by the time we get there so this is a really tough schedule with Clemson in the non-conference a Georgia Tech team that's getting better um and you can see because of this schedule that's why this Georgia team projected to go just N9 and three do you agree do you disagree with this early projection feels like Georgia might be the best team in the country it's hard to imagine the best team in the country losing three games but again it is a very tough schedule so give me your thoughts down in the comments below
