Georgia Bulldogs Climbing Seed Lines

0:00On March 9th, Georgia Bulldogs have come a long way since February when they were barely hanging on to the NCAA tournament bubble. Now they're locked into the field of 68 and climbing seed lines, with recent projections putting them around a 7 or 8 seed. Bracket experts show Georgia on every one of the 105 projections tracked, averaging an 8 seed at 7.53. That's a big step up from last week's average 9 seed. CBS Sports seized them as a 7-facing UCF and Buffalo for the East region, while ESPN has them as an 8 against Ohio State and Greenville. Fans and analysts are buzzing about this turnaround, especially after Georgia wrapped up 22 wins and 9 losses overall, 10 and 8 in the SEC. They won five of their last six regular season games, marking the program's first time ever hitting 22 regular season victories. It's their second straight NCAA trip. The first, back to back since 2001 and 2002. Looking ahead, Georgia earned a 7 seed in the SEC tournament with a first round buy.

1:05They'll face the winner of Texas and Ole Miss on Thursday, after that matchup, tips around 7 pm, Eastern on Wednesday. A win there sends them against two seed Alabama on Friday evening. The Bulldogs are peaking at the right time, and a strong SEC showing could push them even higher as March Madness heats up.
