Georgia football: Top 10 programs that the Bulldogs have defeated

10. Yale Bulldogs

You know this list is going to be good when a team with 890 wins and 27 National titles is at he no. 10 spot.

Of course Yale hasn’t been relevant in the major college football landscape since the 1940’s and hasn’t won a national championship since 1927. But they were one of the best programs between the sports formation in 1869 up until the 1940’s. Not many programs can say that they dominated college football for 70 years.

Abraham Baldwin, the founder and first president of Franklin College (later named the University of Georgia) graduated from Yale. And UGA’s beautiful North campus is modeled after Yale’s campus in New Haven, Connecticut.

Because of these connections, the two programs met 11 times in football between 1923 and 1934. Right after the height of Yale’s program and still in the early stages of Georgia becoming what it is today.

Yale won the first four games by a combined score of 101-13. But in 1927, Georgia traveled to new Haven and defeated Yale 14-10. Georgia and Yale both claim National Titles for that year so 1927 can be seen as some what of a torch passing from Yale to Georgia.

Yale got the better of Georgia in 1928. But the Bulldogs, in their brand new Sanford Stadium hosted Yale and won 15-0. Yale would not return to Athens but the two teams did meet four more times with Georgia winning all of them.

Georgia has a 6-5 record over Yale and it’s highly unlikely that the two will ever meet on the football field again.
