Here’s a few notes about the LSU-UGA series courtesy of LSU Sports Information Director Michael Bonnette:

-When LSU and Georgia tee it up on Saturday at 2:30, it will mark just the 27^th meeting between the squads. The 26 meetings between the Tigers and the Bulldogs ranks as the fewest games LSU has faced against any other SEC team with the exception of South Carolina, who joined the league in 1992.

-While LSU and Georgia are rarely found on each others football schedule, when they do meet there is usually a great deal on the line and this year is no exception. Saturday’s meeting marks the fifth consecutive time in which both teams come into the game ranked No. 13 or higher in the national polls.

-In terms of SEC dominance, the teams have combined to win five of the last seven league titles with LSU claiming the crown in 2001, 2003 and 2007 and Georgia winning the conference championship in 2002 and 2005.

-In addition, since the start of the 2003 season, LSU and Georgia rank Nos. 1-2 in the league in terms of overall wins with 61 and 57 respectively. Going back to the start of the 2000 season, LSU’s 87 wins and Georgia’s 86 victories are also the most of any team in the SEC.

  -Fast forward to the 21^st century and what has become the revival of LSU football in the year 2000 and one will see that the Tigers and the Bulldogs have met more times in Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game (twice) than in the regular season.
