Teams across the country are preparing for their road in the College Football Playoff, soon set to fight for the national title.

The SEC has several teams representing the conference in the College Football Playoff, including Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Oklahoma.

Before players take the field to compete in the postseason, the SEC announced their all-conference teams, showing high praise for several Georgia Bulldogs.

Quarterback Gunner Stockton received the nod for the All-SEC third-team, while 10 other teammates were included in the list.

"Elite play with elite," posted the official social media account of the Georgia Bulldogs. "11 Dawgs made the 2025 All-SEC teams."

Gunner Stockton was playing in his first season as the starting quarterback of the Georgia Bulldogs, leading the way with the help of head coach Kirby Smart.

While Georgia suffered a regular-season loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide, they was unscathed the rest of the way.

The Bulldogs finished the regular season and conference title play with just one loss and were able to earn multiple ranked victories along the way.

In the regular season, Georgia defeated Ole Miss, Texas, Georgia Tech and Tennessee.
