Pete Fiutak with an interesting nugget in light of all the hand wringing over our 2023 schedule: LINK
TLDR:
22 of the 30 teams UGA faced the past 2 seasons went bowling.
Compared to other repeat champions:
UGA 2021-2022: 22 of 30 (73%)
Bama 2011-2012: 16 of 27 (59%)
Nebraska 1994-1995: 12 of 25 (48%)
Oklahoma 1955-1956: 4 of 21 (19%)

To be fair, I feel like there were fewer bowl games in the mid 90s and there were only a handful in the 50s.

We have a weak schedule.
Part of it is Georgia Tech's fault for being so limp wristed in football.
Part of it is being told by the league office to cancel the Oklahoma game.
But the bottom line is we have a weak schedule. No selective data set can make a convincing argument otherwise.

I offer no criticism of Georgia's well-earned title, but this is a meaningless measure of a schedule. Anyone with a pulse plays in a bowl game these days. Can't compare to past eras.

I mean weren't they inviting teams with only 5 wins to bowls last year?

Well, the # of Bowl games and eligibility has changed significantly, so I'm not sure how relevant that data point really is, especially for the 90s and 50s comparisons.

The Rose Bowl was the only major college bowl game in 1930. By 1940, there were five major college bowl games: the Rose Bowl, the Sugar Bowl (1935), the Cotton Bowl Classic (1937), the Orange Bowl (1935), and the Sun Bowl (1935). By 1950, the number had increased to eight games. This figure of eight bowl games persisted through 1960, but by 1970 the number had increased again, to 11 games. The number continued to increase, to 15 games in 1980, to 19 games in 1990, 25 games in 2000, 35 games in 2010, and 41 games by 2015 (40 games plus two teams playing a second game to determine the National Champion).

Y’all really really really really care about what other people say about Georgia don’t you?
Your entire fanbase wreaks of insecurity.

There are currently 35 licensed college bowls, which just about maxes out the possible eligible teams (the four-year average of bowl-eligible squads is 71.8).

If UGA wins natty this year, there should be an asterisk * because of their pathetic weak schedule. Only decent team they play will be Tennessee.

It's amazing to me how a team than won back to back natties can still be this damn insecure, whether it's their schedule, their QB, discussing injuries etc etc etc.

I know people love 1995 Nebraska, but they played a bunch of shite that year.
Nebraska and its entire schedule (including Florida) produced two first round draft picks in the ‘96 draft - and both were busts. The “Top 10” Kansas, Florida, Colorado, and Kansas State teams they played had 7 first round draft picks from ‘96-‘98. The Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida teams that 2019 LSU faced had 27 first round draft picks from ‘20-‘22.
Can you imagine 2019 LSU playing 12 games seeing just one player who would be drafted in the first round the following spring? And can you imagine that Florida team with nothing better than a 3rd rounder anywhere on defense (over three drafts) trying to stop them?
No conference championship, no semifinal.
A lot of SEC teams in recent years would obliterate that slate too.
