Georgia Bulldogs boast top five defense in CFB 27

The game “College Football 27” just released its ratings, and the Georgia Bulldogs are one of the top 10 defenses, although lower than you would think. The Bulldogs have the No. 5 defense in the game.

The four teams above Georgia aren’t from the SEC, so Georgia has the best defense in the SEC. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Texas Tech Red Raiders, Indiana Hoosiers, and Oregon Ducks are above the Bulldogs. The Alabama Crimson Tide are tied with the Georgia Bulldogs for the highest defensive rating in the SEC.

Last season, Georgia had just the No. 12 defense in yards allowed per game (306.0) and points allowed per game (18.5). However, several of the highest-rated Georgia Bulldogs are on the defense.

Transfer safeties Ja’Marley Riddle and Khalil Barnes, along with defensive lineman Elijah Griffin, are rated very highly, earning 87 ratings. They also have a 95 overall K.J. Bolden, 90 overall Ellis Robinson IV, 89 overall Raylen Wilson, and 88 overall Chris Cole on the defensive side. With the returning and growing production, there’s a chance Georgia becomes the best-rated defense in the league.

Their offense was treated differently. They weren’t rated in the top 10, partially due to Gunner Stockton, among other Georgia Bulldogs, not being in the game. If and when Gunner Stockton joins the game, Georgia’s offense should become one of the best in the game.
