These players were chosen based on their personal accolades, the impact they had on the Georgia team during their time at the school and the overall success of the teams they played on (the third criterion was used as a tiebreaker to be named to the top 30 list or to evaluate where a player was ranked on the list).
With this being said, some players selected were not All-Americans, while others benefitted from having longer collegiate careers. There were former players who shined because they were on great teams, and then there were others whose greatness was on display even more because the lack of talent of their Georgia teams. No matter the case, each player was selected for a specific reason. The legends of these great Bulldogs will continue to live on through the current and future players. Their greatness will never be forgotten and their impact will continue to be talked about for many generations to come.
