The 1927 Georgia Bulldogs football team had a 9–1–0 record and, for the first time in the history of the Georgia Bulldogs football program, could stake a claim to being National Champion. Called the "dream and wonder team" the Bulldogs were ranked No. 1 in the nation with one regular season game remaining, but were upset by Georgia Tech by a score of 12–0 at Grant Field in Atlanta, Georgia. Nevertheless, at the end of the season, Georgia was ranked number 1 in two polls recognized by the NCAA. The Bulldogs were also listed as number 1 in two other polls of the 1927 season, but most recognize Illinois as the 1927 National Champion.
