Georgia has been the nation’s No. 3 team for D1 Baseball for the better part of the last month. That’s still true on Monday as the Bulldogs stay in that spot with the same two teams ahead, Tennessee and Arkansas. They’ll soon have a chance to move up.

UGA’s next two SEC series will be against teams ranked inside the top five. It will begin a three-game set at Texas on Friday. The Longhorns are ranked No. 5 in the country. Georgia will return home after that series and take on the No. 2-ranked Razorbacks at new-look Foley Field.

Wes Johnson and company are currently 28-2 on the year and 8-1 in the SEC. Georgia is coming off a three-game sweep of Auburn, the No. 16 team in the country per D1 Baseball. The Tigers came into the weekend ranked No. 11 but the Bulldogs refused to lose. UGA grabbed a 4-1 win on Friday night before weather forced the teams to agree upon a Saturday double-header.

Georgia won the first game of the twin-bill by a score of 11-7. The second game took extra innings. The two teams were tied at 4 going into the 10th when Auburn got two on a home run from Bub Terrell. The Bulldogs entered the bottom of the 10th down by two but the Tigers weren’t able to record an out. Georgia pushed across five runs with Daniel Jackson blasting a three-run home run over the right field wall to walk it off.

The Bulldogs dominated Florida last weekend in a three-game sweep. They’ve won eight games in a row dating back to the Sunday rubber match against Kentucky. Prior to their only SEC loss, game two against the Wildcats, Georgia had a 17-game win streak.

While Georgia has two of the nation’s top five teams coming up in back-to-back weeks, it does get a favorable draw in other ways. The Bulldogs do not have top-ranked Tennessee on the schedule. They also don’t have to play LSU, the No. 5 team in the league and No. 7 team in the country.

Alabama, the No. 6 team in the league and No. 8 team in the country, is on the schedule. Georgia will also have a series against No. 23 Vanderbilt. It will play a pair of non-conference midweek games against teams in the top 25. It will take on No. 25 Georgia Tech at Truist Park on April 15. It will travel to Clemson to take on the No. 6-ranked Tigers a week later on April 22.
