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.

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.

| - 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. Oddly enough, Georgia did not win the Southern Conference championship in 1927 as a result of their loss to Georgia Tech in the last game of the season. Georgia Tech (7–0–1 in the conference), NC State (4–0–0 in the conference) and Tennessee (5–0–1) all finished undefeated in the Southern Conference that year. The season featured Georgia's first-ever win against Yale and six shutouts. It was the win over Yale that propelled the Bulldogs to the national spotlight. The November 24, 1927 game against Alabama was the first game played in newly-completed Legion Field and snapped a five game losing streak against Alabama. The 1927 team was anchored by two All-American ends, Chick Shiver (Shiver was also the team captain) and Tom Nash (Nash was a consensus All-American). This was the last season that George "Kid" Woodruff served as the head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs football team and the team's 34th season of college football.
