ATHENS — Georgia has taken over the top of the SEC football ranks, with Kirby Smart forging his own dynasty.

The Bulldogs have won the last two national championships, and there are more than just whispers of “three-peat” with roughly half the starters returning from last season’s 15-0 squad.

Coach Kirby Smart and the team have rallied together amidst the grief and sadness, pressing forward into what’s expected to be a challenging offseason.
