AP: Georgia governor touts Bulldogs 4-peat for Atlanta in 2025

Georgia’s governor has high hopes for his alma mater.

With Atlanta set to become the first two-time host of college football’s national championship game in 2025, Brian Kemp sees no reason the Georgia Bulldogs can’t be going for their fourth straight title that year — while taking a jab at Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens.

“As y’all know, Georgia won the national championship last year,” Kemp, a Republican, said at the announcement Tuesday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. “I believe they’re going to repeat this year. Then win the next year. And them we’ll see them win their fourth in a row, mayor, in this game.”

On Tuesday, the College Football Playoff committee officially announced Atlanta and the Mercedes-Benz stadium will once again host the College Football Playoff national championship game in January 2025.

“We’re not going to disappoint,” Gov. Brian Kemp said.

“Georgia versus Alabama in 2018, I think, was about an $85 million impact,” President Dan Corso said. “But it could be north of than that, just depending on the matchup that we get.”
