Previous season
Main article: 2022 Georgia Bulldogs football team

The Bulldogs finished the 2022 season with a record of 15–0 (8–0 in the SEC)—the only major team to finish the season with an undefeated record—and as consensus back-to-back national champions. Georgia entered the season as favorites to win the East Division and meet the LSU Tigers in the 2022 SEC Championship Game. Georgia finished the regular season with a 12–0 record with three wins against Top 25-ranked teams–and met Tigers for the SEC Championship. Georgia would win 50–30. The following day, final College Football Playoff (CFP) standings were unveiled. No. 1 ranked Georgia would meet No. 4 ranked Ohio State for the 2022 Peach Bowl, defeating the Buckeyes 42–41 to meet No. 3 ranked TCU for the College Football Playoff National Championship. In the College Football Playoff National Championship, the Bulldogs defeated the Horned Frogs, 65–7, to capture Georgia's second national championship and to repeat as back-to-back champions. The victory over TCU gave Georgia their fourth national championship in football.

The team finished the 2022 season with a final ranking of No. 1 in both the AP and Coaches' Polls.
