Georgia is bound for the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl to face the undefeated Cincinnati Bearcats, marking the 24th consecutive campaign that the Bulldogs have played in the postseason. Combined with Virginia Tech’s decision not to go bowling with a 5-6 record here in the surreal season of 2020, Georgia now has the longest active bowl streak in all of college football.
This run began in 1997, when Jim Donnan’s Dogs capped an outstanding 10-2 top ten season with a 33-6 blistering of the Badgers from Wisconsin in Tampa’s Outback Bowl. Robert Edwards ran wild, outshining Wisconsin’s All-American running back Ron Dayne, stymied all day by the gritty Georgia defense.
