The Bulldogs, with 12 wins, finished alongside Texas A&M in the ranking.
Georgia's 2012 football season, which almost resulted in a shot at the BCS title, has produced its highest final ranking in years. The Bulldogs finished tied for fifth nationally, with fellow SEC member Texas A&M, in the final Associated Press poll, which was released Tuesday (January 8). Of course, Alabama, which defeated Notre Dame 42-14 on Monday in the BCS title game, was ranked No. 1. The Fighting Irish fell to No. 4. -- Do you agree with Georgia's co-No. 5 finish?

If the Bulldogs beat Bama, they're likely headed to Miami to take on Notre Dame for the BCS title.
--- The SEC Championship game will be televised on CBS at 4 p.m., December 1. --- Well, here we are, on the brink of the SEC championship game, a game that many doubted the Georgia Bulldogs would reach this year, but which could propel them to the contest for the National Championship. The Bulldogs haven't won a national title since they beat Notre Dame in 1980, despite fielding one of the most consistently successful teams in the country. As Dan Wolken of USA Today put it, "There aren't many opportunities to put 30 years of frustration aside as a program, but Georgia is on the doorstep of one of them." To get in the door, the Bulldogs have to defeat No. 2 Alabama, no easy feat. Seth Emerson reports for the Ledger-Enquirer that the teams …

Georgia and Alabama also win Saturday to complete the postseason picture.
The SEC Championship Game between Alabama and Georgia will be televised at 4 p.m. December 1 on CBS. --- Things went as expected in SEC football action Saturday (November 23), and Notre Dame also won to set up the BCS National Championship scene. The Fighting irish, ranked No. 1 in the BCS standings, completed an 11-0 season Saturday night with an 22-13 victory over rival USC. In the SEC, Georgia smacked Georgia Tech 42-10, and Alabama walloped Auburn 49-0. The Crimson Tide (No. 2 in BCS) thus clinched the SEC West title and will play Georgia (No. 3 in BCS) for the SEC title in Atlanta on December 1. The SEC champion then likely will get the bid to play the Irish for the BCS title January 7 in Miami. This already is quite a turnaround for …

Larry Munson, whose gravelly and enthusiastic voice became synoymous with University of Georgia football, died Sunday in Athens at age 89, according to news reports. "If you ask the average Georgia fan who best represents the spirit of Georgia football, it wouldn't be a player or a coach," former Georgia quarterback (1973-76) and head coach (1989-95) Ray Goff told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "It would be Larry Munson. He cared about Georgia and our fans loved him for it. There will never be another one like him." Such was the devotion to Munson that usually when a Bulldogs game was televised, fans would simply mute the TV and tune in Munson on the radio to hear how he described the action. From 1966 to 2008, the Minnesota native had …
