Gunner Stockton and Georgia finally put an end to Alabama's mastery of the rivalry between Southeastern Conference powers. Stockton threw three touchdown passes as the third-ranked Bulldogs solidified their position for a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff and beat Alabama in the SEC championship game for the first time, pounding the 10th-ranked Crimson Tide 28-7 on Saturday. Stockton, who completed 20 of 26 passes for 156 yards and rushed for 39 yards, was named the game's MVP. It was the first victory over Alabama for Georgia's fourth-year players, including Stockton. "We approached it the same, like it was a big game, and didn't make it bigger than it was," Stockton said. Georgia (12-1, No. 3 CFP) had been 0-4 against Alabama in the SEC title game and 1-7 against the Crimson Tide under coach Kirby Smart. Playing in their fifth straight league championship game, the Bulldogs earned their fourth title under Smart and 16th overall. During a team meeting at the start of the week, Georgia players who had a win over Alabama were asked to stand up. "None of them stood up," Smart said. Now the Bulldogs can stand. They also can brag about winning back-to-back SEC championships. "I thought it hit right between the eyes of doing it for the seniors," Smart said.

The lopsided loss forces Alabama (10-3, No. 9 CFP) to worry about its standing with the College Football Playoff selection committee. The Crimson Tide were believed to be in good position when they moved up one spot in last week's CFP ranking, but the loss to the Bulldogs provides renewed cause for concern that the Crimson Tide could miss the playoff for the second consecutive season under coach Kalen DeBoer. "We fell short today, but I'm proud of our season," DeBoer said. "Getting to the SEC championship, getting to this great game, there's a lot to build off of." Alabama will learn its playoff fate on Sunday. "If this game applies to and takes away from our resume, I don't think that's right," DeBoer said. "I really don't." Georgia led 21-0 before Alabama's Ty Simpson threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Germie Bernard early in the fourth quarter. Georgia will play a CFP quarterfinal game in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. - Georgia/AP College Football

There was an added edge to No. 4 Georgia's postgame celebration after the Bulldogs' latest win in the state rivalry known as "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate." Nate Frazier ran for 108 yards, Gunner Stockton threw a scoring pass to Zachariah Branch for the only touchdown of the game and No. 4 Georgia retained its lock on the rivalry with another close win by holding off No. 23 Georgia Tech 16-9 on Friday. The Bulldogs (11-1) claimed their eighth straight win in the rivalry, the longest streak in school history. That's why Georgia linebacker Quintavius Johnson said the postgame celebration was especially sweet. Georgia Tech (9-3), which moved its home game from its campus stadium to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, closed the regular season by losing three of four games.

Gunner Stockton's 7-yard scoring pass to Branch gave Georgia a 10-3 lead in the second quarter. Peyton Woodring of Georgia and Aidan Birr of Georgia Tech each kicked three field goals. Woodring kicked a 50-yarder early in the fourth quarter for a 16-6 lead. Birr's 41-yarder with 3:30 remaining again trimmed the deficit to seven points. With only 14 seconds remaining, Georgia Tech took its last possession at its 20. Haynes King completed two passes to the Georgia 44 for a final snap with a second remaining. and his final pass was batted down in the end zone. The low-scoring game was a contrast to last year when the Bulldogs outlasted the Yellow Jackets 44-42 in eight overtimes in Athens. Each team needs help to play in its conference championship game. Georgia would advance to the Southeastern Conference championship game if Texas A&M loses to Texas Friday night or Alabama loses to Auburn on Saturday night. Georgia Tech's path to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game is more difficult. The Yellow Jackets need Miami, Virginia and SMU to lose on Saturday. King completed 19 of 26 passes for 181 yards with an interception. King threw two picks in last week's 42-28 home loss to Pittsburgh that cost the Yellow Jackets an opportunity to clinch a spot in the ACC championship game. - Georgia/AP College Football

11/24/25 - Nyier Daniels, rFr/2029, Georgia, 6-7, 345 (DS#999 OT) + More +

Georgia coach Kirby Smart dismissed backup offensive lineman Nyier Daniels on Monday, a day after his arrest after allegedly driving more than 150 mph while attempting to flee police in Commerce, Georgia. Daniels, from Newark, New Jersey, faces more than a dozen criminal charges and was being held Monday on $21,000 bond in the Jackson County Jail in Jefferson, Georgia. Daniels faces two felony counts of second-degree cruelty to children and two felony counts of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, according to a police incident report obtained by ESPN. According to the report, Daniels fled police with two of his younger siblings in the car. He faces 10 additional traffic-related misdemeanors, including reckless driving and driving at maximum limits. "[I] have not had a chance to talk to him or his family, but obviously he will no longer be with us," Smart told reporters during a news conference Monday. - ESPN College Football

11/22/25 - Bo Walker, Fr/2029, Georgia, 5-09, 210 (DS#999 RB) + More +

Freshman Bo Walker ran for his first three career touchdowns, Nate Frazier added two scoring runs and No. 4 Georgia rolled to a 35-3 win over underdog Charlotte on Saturday in its bid to protect its College Football Playoff standing. Georgia (10-1) was looking to play well enough to retain its No. 4 CFP ranking and position for a first-round bye in the playoff. The Bulldogs overwhelmed Charlotte (1-10) for their seventh consecutive win. The 49ers suffered their eighth straight loss. One week after Gunner Stockton passed for four touchdowns and ran for another in last week's 35-10 win over then-No. 10 Texas, the Bulldogs emphasized their running game. Georgia ran for 192 yards and outgained the 49ers 449-169.

Senior running back Cash Jones made his first start in his final home regular-season game, but the Bulldogs were more effective when turning the running game over to Frazier and Walker. Frazier had scoring runs of 2 and 7 yards in the first quarter. Walker's first career touchdown, a 15-yard run, followed by a 12-yard scoring run, each in the second quarter, pushed the lead to 28-0. Walker added a 3-yard scoring run to cap the Bulldogs' first possession of the second half following Stockton's completions of 11 and 38 yards to Noah Thomas. Charlotte's Grayson Loftis threw a 38-yard pass to E. Jai Mason to give the 49ers a first down at the Georgia 21 in the fourth quarter. Safety Daniel Okonkwo's interception - the second thrown by Loftis - in the end zone ended the Charlotte scoring chance. Georgia then held the ball for the final 5 minutes, 59 seconds. - Georgia/AP College Football

Gunner Stockton, a fourth-year junior, participated in the Senior Day pregame ceremony, a possible indication he could bypass his final year of eligibility and enter the NFL draft. It's far from a sure sign as it's not unusual for fourth-year juniors to participate in Senior Day and then return for another season. - AP College Football

Georgia moved up one spot to No. 4 in The Associated Press poll Sunday, Oklahoma returned to the top 10 and North Texas, ranked for the first time since 1959, is among three Group of Five teams in the Top 25. Ohio State, Indiana and Texas A&M were the top three teams for the fifth straight week. Georgia earned its highest ranking since the first week of September and Mississippi was back in the top five after spending three weeks there at midseason. Oregon and Texas Tech were tied for No. 6, and Oklahoma rose three spots to No. 8 following its win at Alabama. The Sooners were last in the top 10, at No. 6, the second week of October.

Notre Dame remained No. 9 after a 22-point win at Pittsburgh and Alabama dropped six spots to No. 10 after the Sooners ended its eight-game win streak. Ohio State, which rolled past UCLA to improve to 10-0 for the fourth time in seven seasons, received 57 of 66 first-place votes. Indiana, which beat Wisconsin to go 11-0 for the first time, got eight first-place votes. Texas A&M, whose comeback from a 27-point deficit to beat South Carolina was its largest ever, got one first-place vote, three less than last week. Georgia’s 35-10 win over Texas was its sixth straight and second over a top-10 opponent. Mississippi, which lost at Georgia a month ago, defeated Florida and is more than 100 points behind the Bulldogs at No. 5. - AP College Football

Gunner Stockton threw four touchdown passes - two to Noah Thomas - and ran for a score to outplay Arch Manning as No. 5 Georgia strengthened its postseason standing by overwhelming No. 10 Texas 35-10 on Saturday night for its sixth straight victory. After Texas trimmed Georgia's lead to 14-10 in the third quarter, Stockton's 30-yard touchdown pass to London Humphreys, followed by a successful onside kick, allowed the Bulldogs to put the game away. Stockton's 6-yard scoring pass to Lawson Luckie following the recovery of the kick iced the win. Stockton added a 4-yard scoring run late in the game. With No. 4 Alabama's 23-21 loss to No. 11 Oklahoma earlier Saturday, Georgia (9-1, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) could move into position for a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff. The Bulldogs also boosted their hopes of defending their SEC championship. The Bulldogs claimed a 22-19 overtime win over the Longhorns in last year's SEC championship game in Atlanta following a win at Texas earlier in the season. Georgia's win in the Longhorns' first visit to Athens gave the Bulldogs three wins in two years in the series. Texas (7-3, 4-2) saw its four-game winning streak end, putting its playoff hopes in jeopardy.

Georgia has rolled since its 22-19 overtime home loss to Alabama on Sept. 27. That loss ended Georgia's 33-game home winning streak, which was the longest active streak in FBS. Texas linebacker Anthony Hill's interception of Stockton's pass midway through the third quarter gave the Longhorns the ball at the Georgia 36. The Bulldogs' first penalty, a pass interference call against Zion Branch on a third-down play, set up Manning's 7-yard scoring pass to Ryan Wingo. The Longhorns' first touchdown trimmed Georgia's lead to 14-10. Georgia answered with a 10-play touchdown drive capped by Stockton's 30-yard scoring pass to London Humphreys. The Bulldogs covered a fourth-and-1 play on Stockton's 10-yard pass to Chauncey Bowens and survived another fourth down when Longhorns outside linebacker Colin Simmons was called for an offsides penalty. Georgia coach Kirby Smart kept gambling by calling the onside kick recovered by Cash Jones. Stockton completed 24 of 29 passes for 229 yards. His interception was only his third of the season. Manning, who said this week he considered signing with Georgia until the end of his recruitment, completed 27 of 43 passes for 251 yards with one touchdown and one interception. - Georgia/AP College Football

Gunner Stockton threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns and No. 5 Georgia beat Mississippi State 41-21 on Saturday. Georgia (8-1, 6-1 SEC) surrendered a touchdown on the opening drive of the game and then scored 38 straight points. "Really proud of our guys. I thought that was a total team effort in a really tough place to play," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. "I have a lot of respect for Jeff (Lebby). This team has played great all year. We had good leadership this week and our conditioning was the difference." It was a complete mismatch on both sides of the ball as the Georgia Bulldogs held the Mississippi State Bulldogs (5-5, 1-5 SEC) scoreless on six consecutive possessions while scoring five straight touchdowns themselves. Everything worked for Georgia offensively as Stockton finished 18 of 29 passing for 264 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 31 more yards.

Where Georgia really set the tone was in the rushing attack. The visiting Bulldogs had 305 yards rushing and averaged 7.3 yards per carry with freshman Nate Frazier running for 181 yards yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries. Zachariah Branch had eight catches for 68 yards and a score and Noah Thomas finished with three catches for 78 yards and a touchdown. "It was a total team effort. You can't run the ball unless you commit to the run," Smart said. "It takes extra work and reps, but we have a special team that believes in that and a quarterback that believes in that." A bevy of injuries came MSU's way in the game. Starting quarterback Blake Shapen left the game in the third quarter with an apparent head injury and did not return. Defensive captain Isaac Smith left the first half with a lower leg injury while safety Brylan Lanier exited in the second half. Shapen finished the game 10 of 15 for 86 yards and had 15 yards rushing. MSU had 149 yards rushing overall. Freshman Kamario Taylor came in for Shapen and finished 6 of 10 for 67 yards and had 12 carries for 53 yards with all three of the team's scores. Fluff Bothwell had nine carries for 44 yards and Brenen Thompson was the leading receiver with four catches for 92 yards. - Georgia/AP College Football

Gunner Stockton passed for 289 yards and four touchdowns, including three to tight end Lawson Luckie, and No. 9 Georgia overcame Trinidad Chambliss and No. 5 Mississippi's powerful offense to rally for a 43-35 win over the Rebels on Saturday. Georgia (6-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) rallied after trailing 35-26 at the start of the fourth quarter. Stockton's 7-yard touchdown pass to Luckie with 7:29 remaining gave Georgia a 40-35 lead. Ole Miss (6-1, 3-1) was denied its first road win over a top 10 team under coach Lane Kiffin even though the Rebels scored touchdowns on their first five possessions. Stockton completed 26 of 31 passes and added a 22-yard scoring run in the crucial SEC showdown. "It was a great day," Stockton said. "We just played for each other and that's the best part of our team." Stockton and the Bulldogs had no turnovers. In previewing the game, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said winning at Georgia would mean the Rebels have taken "another step" in their move up the SEC.

That looked likely when they scored touchdowns on each of their first five possessions, taking a nine-point lead in the third quarter. Suddenly, the Ole Miss offense lost its magic as Georgia did not give up another first down. Following the first punt of the game by either team with 12:44 remaining, Stockton led a nine-play, 67-yard drive capped by the 7-yard scoring pass to Luckie that gave the Bulldogs their first lead of the second half. Following another stop by Georgia's defense, Stockton led a 10-play drive to set up Peyton Woodring's third field goal of the game, a 42-yarder, to stretch the lead to eight points with 2:06 remining. - Georgia/AP College Football
