. . . 527. . . 1. Georgia Bulldogs. .
Georgia will be the top dogs, literally, in the conference once again. Hot off the conference championship loss to Alabama, this team will be out for blood next season and it will come in the shape of Longhorns, Tigers, and Gators (oh my!).
Getting knocked out of the College Football Playoffs has left a chip on the shoulders of the team and of head coach Kirby Smart. With Saban out of the way, Smart will march his team back to an SEC title and a definite spot in the 12-team CFP.
With a jaw-dropping 20 four-star recruits coming in 2024, not only do the Bulldogs have the top class in the SEC, they have the best signing class in the country.
Thank you #DawgNation, for an incredible season ❤️#GoDawgs pic.twitter.com/jZFuIRORtW
