The SEC is dominated by two programs, Georgia and Alabama. Texas is attempting to join these two programs as the newest team to take control of the SEC, but until they win a championship they don't belong in that conversation.
Since 2020, Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs have dominated the SEC far more than Alabama has. Georgia has won two SEC Championships this decade as well as two National Championships, so there really is no good argument against UGA being the top program in the conference right now.
But some fans will argue that Alabama still has claim to that title as well after the dominant run they went on and the fact that Georgia is still unable to beat them outside of their meeting in the National Championship game. While Georgia fans might feel like they are still chasing Alabama to become the consensus best program in the SEC, some Alabama fans are now more than willing to give that title to Georgia.
"Based on what I'm seeing, Georgia is better than Alabama right now. Georgia is more consistent than Alabama. Georgia plays more dominant than Alabama... As far as recruiting, the key is to look at Georgia as the pathway to the NFL now because they're putting more players in the NFL than Alabama right now."

Georgia is the king of the SEC even after recent results
The biggest argument that Alabama fans have used to push back against the fans in the above video is that Georgia is still unable to beat the Tide outside of the National Championship game. This includes Georgia losing to Alabama last season and in the 2023 SEC Championship game.
But these Alabama fans were quick to say that the standard is winning championships. Georgia is the team who has won the last two National Championships in the conference and they are the reigning SEC Champion as well. Both of those titles are far more important than any one regular season win.
These Alabama fans cemented this point by saying that Alabama is still a better team and program than Vanderbilt even though the Commodores beat them last season.
The good news for Georgia is that they get to play Alabama at home during the 2025 season. Sure the result of this game doesn't really matter if UGA still goes on to win the SEC or College Football Playoff, but a win in this game will leave no doubt that Georgia is now the face of the SEC by themselves.
