What will it take to beat Georgia? - ESPN

ATHENS, Georgia — Georgia hasn't lost a football game in 699 days.

The Bulldogs haven't been beaten in the regular season in 1,091 days. And they haven't fallen at home in 1,483 days.

Heading into Saturday's game against No. 12 Missouri at Sanford Stadium, two-time defending national champion Georgia has won 25 consecutive games. With a victory over the Tigers, Georgia would tie for the 14th-longest winning streak in the AP poll era (since 1936), matching Alabama (2015-16) and Nebraska (1994-1996).

Georgia's last loss was a 41-24 defeat to Alabama in the SEC championship game Dec. 4, 2021. Its winning streak began when it beat Michigan 34-11 in a CFP semifinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl on New Year's Eve in 2021. In the next game, the Bulldogs finally took down the Crimson Tide with a 33-18 win in the CFP National Championship to capture their first national title in 41 years.

The Bulldogs have been winning ever since.

Along with a school record 25 straight wins, they've captured 35 consecutive regular-season games, 24 straight SEC regular-season games and 23 in a row at home. They're 41-1 in their past 42 games.

«Like I've said all the time, that's going to come to an end,» Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. «I've been part of a lot of streaks. That's going to come to an end at some point, and when it does, we'll worry about the next game. I don't think you can be consumed with that thought process or think that way. You've got to think [about] what you can do to help your team win.»

So how do you beat the Bulldogs, who have been ranked No. 1 in the AP poll for 20 consecutive weeks, the third-longest streak ever and the longest in the SEC?
