Vince Dooley's 1980 national championship team was the most compelling after recording a perfect 12-0 mark including a 17-10 victory over Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. Freshman tailback Herschel Walker helped move the Bulldogs up the poll ladder after they were virtually unranked prior to the season.

Georgia had moved up to number two after defeating South Carolina, 13-10, in a battle of top 10 teams in the season's eighth game. The following week, it appeared Georgia's run was over when Florida led the Dogs 21-20 with a minute and a half to play and UGA set for a final possession on its own seven yard line. On third and 10, quarterback Buck Belue hit receiver Lindsay Scott on a 93-yard TD pass with 1:04 to play to lift the Dogs to a 26-21 victory. The next day, Georgia was elevated to number one in the polls.

After victories over Auburn and Georgia Tech in the final two regular season games, Georgia met perhaps the most storied school in college football history - Notre Dame - in the Sugar Bowl. Led by Walker's two touchdowns, Georgia defeated the Irish 17-10 to lay claim to its undisputed national crown. Virtually every major poll declared the Bulldogs No. 1 following a season in which Georgia was the only undefeated, untied Division I team in the country.
