ESPN’s College Gameday will be in Atlanta for Bulldogs playoff game

College GameDay is coming back for another Georgia football game, as it will be on hand for the CFP Peach Bowl Semifinal on Dec. 31 in Atlanta.

The Bulldogs have made 32 all-time appearances on the popular ESPN pregame show since its inception in 1993, half of those appearances (16) coming since the 2017 season under Kirby Smart.

The exposure is a huge boost to the program recognition and credibility, with millions watching the program each week.

The No. 1-ranked Georgia program has flipped the script on ESPN since its previous College GameDay appearance when the Bulldogs were only No. 3 in the initial CFP rankings and were playing host to then-No. 1 Tennessee.

ESPN star and SEC Network anchor Laura Rutledge made the case the Bulldogs were “undervalued” entering into that matchup with the Vols, who had vaulted over UGA in the CFP rankings even though Smart’s team was undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the media polls.
