Georgia is one win away from capturing its first SEC title since 2005. Beat Auburn in Saturday’s SEC Championship Game, and a berth in the College Football Playoff likely follows.

But the Bulldogs wouldn’t be in this position if not for their work during the 12-game regular season, which saw them go 11-1. Ironically enough, that lone defeat came against Auburn, giving Georgia an opportunity to avenge itself Saturday in Atlanta.

For now, let’s look at 10 of the most memorable moments from the Bulldogs’ regular season, in chronological order.

Fromm steps up when called upon in opener

This was supposed to be Jacob Eason’s year. After getting acclimated to the rigors of the SEC as a true freshman quarterback, Eason was expected to make significant strides in Year 2. But that didn’t come to pass, as less than 10 minutes into the opener against Appalachian State, he was hit by defensive end Myquon Stout. Eason suffered a knee injury on the play, and sat out the remainder of the contest.

On came Jake Fromm.

A true freshman, Fromm showed no signs of being overwhelmed by the moment, completing eight of his first 11 passes, and led the Bulldogs on three consecutive touchdown drives in the first half. He finished 10-for-15 for 143 yards and a touchdown as Georgia cruised to a 31-10 triumph.

For Fromm, it was merely the first act of what has been a solid freshman campaign.

Godwin’s highlight-reel grab against Notre Dame

No words needed here. Just watch.

Georgia fans turn Notre Dame Stadium into a neutral site

The Bulldogs’ fan base has always traveled well. But going up to South Bend, Indiana, for its first regular-season meeting with Notre Dame took that dedication to another level.

Following the game, Fighting Irish fans wrote letters to the local paper, The South Bend Tribune, to express how they were “embarrassed and appalled” that so many Georgia supporters had infiltrated Notre Dame Stadium.

Fromm leads first game-winning drive

So a lot happened in that Notre Dame contest on Sept. 9. Aside from the two moments cited above, it can’t go unmentioned that Georgia went on to win the game 20-19. And it was due to the efforts of Fromm, who upped his level when it was needed most. Trailing 19-17 with only 6:39 to play, Georgia took over at its 25-yard line.

Fromm went on to go 3-for-4 on the drive for 45 yards, putting the Bulldogs in position for Rodrigo Blankenship’s go-ahead 30-yard field goal with 3:34 remaining.

Georgia shows MSU which is the superior Bulldog in 2017

After Mississippi State’s thorough domination of LSU on Sept. 16 — as the 37-7 win marked its largest margin of victory in the history of the series — it was thought Georgia would be in for a titanic tussle the following week.

That never materialized.

Georgia spotted Nick Fitzgerald and the high-powered Mississippi State offense just three points. Offensively, Georgia put 31 points on the board to cruise to a victory in its SEC opener.

Bulldogs bludgeon Volunteers at Neyland Stadium

The score says it all: Georgia 41, Tennessee 0.

It was Tennessee’s first shutout loss since 1994. It was its most lopsided home defeat since losing 45-0 to Vanderbilt in 1905. It was the Bulldogs’ largest margin of victory in Knoxville, and second-biggest ever against the Vols, behind only a 44-0 drubbing in Athens in 1981.

It’s hard to get more one-sided than that in a game between two bitter rivals and storied programs.

Georgia throttles Florida

No matter how good or bad Georgia has been the past 30 years or so, Florida has always been a thorn in its side. But this would not be one of those years. The Bulldogs jumped out to a 21-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. There would be no drama in the final three quarters, either, as Georgia won going away, 42-7.

It was Florida’s worst loss in the series since getting blanked 44-0 in 1982.

And for Jim McElwain, this loss was the final nail in the coffin, as Florida fired him one day later.

Bulldogs finish undefeated run through SEC East

Beating Kentucky meant Georgia went an unblemished 6-0 against its intradivision foes. Be cynical about it if you like.

Kirby Smart doesn’t care if you feel that way, though.

Georgia wins the state in topping Tech

Entering Saturday, Georgia Tech had won two of its past three meetings against Georgia. The Bulldogs made sure it wouldn’t be 3-for-4. Georgia won in a 38-7 rout at Bobby Dodd Stadium, holding Tech without a rushing touchdown for the first time since 2015. Ironically enough, the last time the Yellow Jackets didn’t score on the ground also came against the Bulldogs. That year, Georgia won 13-7 in Atlanta.

And Bobby Dodd Stadium has been mighty kind to Georgia this millennium, as the Bulldogs are 9-0. The last time Tech held serve at home was in a 51-48 overtime victory in 1999.

Chubb, Michel etch names in school, SEC record books

At the outset of the season, yours truly took a look at where running backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel stood in Georgia’s rushing record book. And I also offered opinions on where they might end up.

Needless to say, both have done well this fall.

Chubb has carried 178 times for 1,098 yards and 13 touchdowns. Michel, despite missing one game, has matched Chubb with 13 rushing touchdowns. Michel has 124 rushes for 903 yards in 11 games.

Each has at least two more games to add to those totals. And if the Bulldogs make the College Football Playoff, possibly more.
