Notes

  1. ↑ Although the first Rose Bowl Game was played in 1902, it has been continuously played since the 1916 game, and is recognized as the oldest bowl game by the NCAA. "—" indicates any season prior to 1916 when postseason games were not played.[9]
  2. ↑ A running total of the number of head coaches, with coaches who served separate tenures being counted only once. Interim head coaches are represented with "Int" and are not counted in the running total. "—" indicates the team played but either without a coach or no coach is on record. "X" indicates an interim year without play.
  3. ↑ Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible in the period since.[10]
  4. ↑ When computing the win–loss percentage, a tie counts as half a win and half a loss.[11]
  5. ↑ Statistics correct as of the end of the 2012 college football season.
  6. ↑ Georgia did not field a team for the 1917 or 1918 seasons due to World War I.[3]
  7. ↑ Divisional champions have advanced to the SEC Championship Game since the institution of divisional play beginning in the 1992 season. Since that time, Georgia has competed as a member of the SEC East.[12]
  8. 1 2 James Coulter and Frank Dobson served as co-head coaches for the 1909 season.[13]
