When was the last time Georgia beat Clemson? Closer look at the rivalry history

The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs are set to begin their 2024 season this weekend as they face the No. 14 Clemson Tigers in Atlanta, Georgia. The Bulldogs are looking to win their third national championship in the past four seasons.

Georgia has reached the postseason three times in the 10 years since the inception of the College Football Playoff, making the title game each time and winning twice.

The Tigers have also won two titles in the College Football Playoff era. They have reached the postseason six times and the title game four times, with each mark trailing only the Alabama Crimson Tide. Clemson will look to take advantage of the postseason field expanding from four to 12 teams as it looks to end a three-year postseason drought.

Take a look at the rivalry between the two powerhouse programs below.
