Georgia football has been the best program in the SEC over the past five years. They have been able to accomplish this even though the SEC has remained the top conference in the country. But even though the conference has been so difficult, Georgia has been able to win multiple SEC Championships and national titles over the past five years.
One of the best parts of Georgia's recent stretch of dominance is that they have accomplished what they have when the odds have been stacked against them in so many ways. And one of those disadvantages Georgia has overcome over the past five years comes straight from the SEC and TV networks who have refused to give Georgia many home night games.
Snagged this from @TexAgs poster URDeparted. Past 5 seasons % of home night games. This is insane:

Arkansas-23%
Auburn-41%
Florida-50%
Georgia-28%
Kentucky-53%
LSU-🚩83%🚩
Miss St-42%
Missouri-39%
Ole Miss-44%
South Carolina-54%
Tennessee-31%
Texas A&M-49%
Vandy-40%
SEC, TV networks refuse to give Georgia home night games
The above post shows the percentage of home night games every SEC team has had over the past five years. Everyone knows how much of an advantage having home night games is because it makes the crowd and home atmosphere more difficult to play in. So the teams with the most night games have an inherent advantage over the teams who don't have as many.
Unfortunately for Georgia they have had the second fewest home night games in the SEC over the past five years. The Bulldogs have somehow only had 28 percent of their home games at night which is much less than LSU who leads the way at 83 percent. The Tigers are an outlier though, but the average SEC team has had about half of their home games at night which is still a lot more than Georgia.
The Bulldogs however have been able to overcome this disadvantage and still be the best program in the conference during this timeframe. In fact, Georgia has only lost one home game during the past five years when they haven't had many opportunities to take advantage of a home night game.
Georgia's matchup against Ole Miss this week unfortunately is not at night, and there is only one more real opportunity against Texas where a home night game could occur. Their game time against the Longhorns has not been announced yet, but the SEC and TV networks will hopefully see this data and reward Georgia with a night game because they more than deserve it.
